19th Chemnitz Seminar on Materials Engineering – 19. Werkstofftechnisches Kolloquium

PrefaceThis year, we celebrate an anniversary: the Institute of Materials Science and Engineering (Institut für Werkstoffwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik, IWW) of Chemnitz University of Technology hosts the traditional scientific meeting, the Chemnitz Seminar on Materials Engineering – Werkstofftechnisches Kolloquium – for the 20th time.We always strive to bring together scientists and engineers both from academia and industry, and this is again reflected by this year’s different scientific sessions that cover various relevant topics, such as electroplating, composite materials, developments in steels, additive manufacturing and many more. Part of our scientific program is a special colloquium that marks the successful completion of the Collaborative Research Center SFB 692, which was launched in Chemnitz 12 years ago and has now reached the end of its regular funding period.Like in the last years, we chose the IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering to provide all contributors with the opportunity to publish their papers in an international, peer-reviewed journal. This is understood and appreciated by nearly all participants of our meeting, and therefore this volume provides an excellent overview of the main topics of our Seminar.Chemnitz, April 2018Prof. Thomas Lampke Prof. Guntram Wagner Prof. Martin F.-X.

The 12th National Conference on Solid State Physics and Materials Science (SPMS2021) gathered various notable scientists (7 plenary speakers and 34 invited speakers). Attending the conference and actively participating in the debate were more than 450 scholars with an interest in the topic. Four hundred reports were divided into five specialized sessions, including (A) physics and magnetic materials, (B) semiconductor and dielectric physics, (C) semiconductor and dielectric materials and devices, (D) biomedical materials and materials for agriculture, energy, and the environment, and (E) composite materials - metals, ceramics, and Vietnam-Korea sessions on applied physics. In addition, the Organizing Committee received numerous full-text reports that had been submitted to the Journal of Science and Technology (Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology) following a rigorous review procedure. SPMS2021 co-organized by the Vietnam Physical Society, the Vietnam Materials Research Society (V-MRS), the Institute of Physics, the Institute of Materials Science (Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology), Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vietnam National University (VNU), Phenikaa University, and Can Tho University was held on 13 – 15 August 2022 in Can Tho City after nearly 9 months of postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The conference has attracted 7 plenary speakers, 34 invited speakers, and over 450 scientists (Figure 1, Table 1, and Table 2) 1. It is not only a sizable and esteemed scientific conference that draws the interest of the Vietnamese scientific community, but it is also a venue for getting together, exchanging ideas, and disseminating the most recent advancements in the SPMS sector. Since 1995, it has been conducted continuously every two years. Many scientists are generally interested in the domains of solid-state physics and materials science, which have a wide range of activities and exceptional accomplishments in both basics and applications in Vietnam.

A joint research project of the Institute of Ferrous Metallurgy, RWTH Aachen University; the Institute of Materials Science and Engineering, Kaiserslautern; the Gear Research Centre, Munich; and the Foundation Institute of Materials Science (IWT), Bremen, named “HiPerComp: High Performance Components,” resulted in new damage-tolerant steels for rolling bearing and gear applications. The main target of the project was the introduction of strengthening mechanisms and localized plasticity to common through-hardening bearing and case carburizing grades. These microstructural-based mechanisms were expected to reduce the sensitivity against nonmetallic inclusions and by that increase the bearing life. For a 52100 bearing steel, an aluminum addition of up to 2 mass% should develop the capability of transformation-induced plasticity effects as well as a further strength increase by k-carbides. For case-hardening grades such as ISO 18CrNiMo7-6 (comparable to AISI 4820), a copper addition was investigated, which can lead to the formation of coherent copper clusters, thus increasing the strength. Although the new alloys were developed at the Institute of Ferrous Metallurgy, the new heat treatments were investigated at IWT. At the Institute of Materials Science and Engineering, a new approach in high throughput fatigue testing methods (“Phybal”) was evaluated in these material conditions to discover the most promising combinations. The gear grades finally were tested as real gears at the Gear Research Centre while the most favorable bearing steels were tested as deep groove ball bearing inner rings at IWT. This paper will cover the investigations on 52100 bearing steel. At high loads, the new alloys showed equivalent lifetimes compared to industrial bearings. Yet the improved damage tolerance was revealed in testing conditions with lower loads (2,800 MPa Hertzian stress) with artificially damaged inner raceways. The best alloy and heat treatment combination of aluminum-alloyed 52100 steel achieved a 16 times longer life.

Innovation processes in services remain under-researched, but recently large-scale surveys have been conducted which allow for a more systematic appraisal of the level and scope of innovation in services. To date, much of the literature on innovation in services focuses on the adoption and use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Innovation in services, and services innovation, should, however, be understood in broader terms, and this understanding should extend to non-technological innovation. This paper presents evidence from a recent large-scale survey of innovation amongst German commercial service firms. It shows that services are much more active with respect to innovation than is widely thought. They are innovative in terms of being producers of service and process innovations. From our broader perspective, we examine the pattern of innovation as it relates to the standardisation-particularisation of service products, across a range of service sectors and across firms of various sizes. The production of bespoke or customised services shaped by client inputs has long been considered a defining characteristic of many services, and one that has affected their innovation potential. The present analysis reveals a pattern of diversity in behaviour, which reflects the diversity amongst service firms, and demonstrates the need for more subtle and differentiated analyses of services and services innovation.
