Welcome to WTM
Welcome to the Chair of Materials Science and Engineering for Metals (WTM) of the Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg
Material development is closely linked to process engineering (casting, sintering, 3D printing, forming, joining …). More efficient materials make new demands on primary shaping and forming technologies, better-to-process materials master manufacturing challenges, innovative production technologies create great potential for further materials development.
The research at the Institute WTM is focused on new process technologies and the relations between process, microstructure and properties of metal-based materials.

Prof. Dr. Carolin Körner, Chair of Materials Science and Engineering for Metals at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) has been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant, which is not only extraordinary funding, but also recognition of Erlangen and Nuremberg as an exceptional location for science and research. The EU has granted 3 million euros in funding to support research in additive manufacturing of high-performance components using high-energy electron beams.
The conference EMPOrIA 2023 awarded Zerong Yang the “Best Presentation Award”.
From March 19-23, 2023, The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS) Annual Meeting was held in San Diego, California. The Chair WTM was represented with three presentations and one poster within the topic area of high temperature materials and superalloys. The presentation awards to Christopher Zenk and Tobias Gaag is particularly pleasing.
The 4th International Conference for Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing will be held in Erlangen, Germany from 22 - 24 March 2023. The conference aims to discuss specific challenges and opportunities for additive manufacturing offered by the electron beam.
