AWT seminars - online and face-to-face

The AWT seminars are an important component of AWT's training program. In the seminars, important basic knowledge about the individual specialist topics is imparted. Due to the limited number of participants, an intensive exchange and individual consultation is guaranteed. A high degree of application-oriented learning is made possible. Leibniz-IWT has its own hardening store and extensive laboratory equipment. Thus, samples can be brought and analyzed at many seminars.

The AWT also offers in-house training or seminars in cooperation with other associations on request.

Please note the General Terms and Conditions (GTC) for Seminars of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Wärmebehandlung und Werkstofftechnik e. V. (Working Group Heat Treatment and Materials Engineering e. V.)

    Nitriding and nitrocarburizing for practitioners

    Wed, January 22, 2025, 13:00 o'clock - Thu, January 23, 2025, 16:00 o'clock
    Nitriding and nitrocarburizing for practitioners
    Nitriding and nitrocarburizing is a key topic when it comes to improving the performance of parts and components in transportation and mechanical engineering. In addition to the primary applications of increasing strength and reducing wear, the process is also increasingly being used in conjunction with post-oxidation as an environmentally friendly corrosion protection treatment. New application developments for austenitic steels and for micromachinability with diamond tools show that the potential is far from exhausted.

    Component cleaning in heat treatment
    Overview of the specific requirements for component cleaning in the hardening shop. To show concrete action aids for improving cleaning results and to clarify the many variables influencing cleaning results before and after heat treatment.

Further seminars in planning

  • Bainitizing in theory and practice

    Wed, January 15, 2025 - Thu, January 16, 2025, 23:59 o'clock
    Bainitizing in theory and practice
    In-depth knowledge of the mechanisms and material science processes involved in bainitizing. The aim of this seminar is not only to impart basic knowledge of materials technology, but also to demonstrate process engineering, quality assurance and application by means of component examples, starting with the fundamentals.

  • Heat treatment of aluminum alloys

    Wed, January 15, 2025 - Thu, January 16, 2025, 23:59 o'clock
    Heat treatment of aluminum alloys
    Lightweight construction is a key issue in transportation and mechanical engineering in order to reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions and increase payload or range. Effective lightweight design can only be achieved through cooperation between materials engineering, design, dimensioning and production technology. Aluminum alloys are frequently used as lightweight materials. Compared with other lightweight materials, aluminum has advantages in terms of processability, cost and recyclability.

  • Randschichthärten und induktive Randschichtwärmebehandlung

    Wed, January 15, 2025 - Thu, January 16, 2025, 23:59 o'clock
