Successfully completed doctorate
Dr Erik Saborowski successfully defended his dissertation entitled "Relationship between metal surface structure and bond strength using the example of thermally joined thermoplastic-metal composites" on 16 December 2022. Finally, at the beginning of April, the ceremony took place at the professorship, at which newly minted doctors traditionally have to "endure" a few games in gowns and with a doctoral hat and sash.

International exchange in the field of thermal spraying and build-up welding at the ITSHC
On 22/23 September 2022, experts from science and industry presented current developments and research approaches in the field of thermal spraying and cladding at the international ITSHC in Wrocław, Poland. The two plenary lectures at the opening of the conference were given by Prof. Dr Lech Pawłowski and Prof. Dr Shrikant Joshi, who taught and researched at the Chair of Materials and Surface Engineering (WOT) at Chemnitz University of Technology via the Visiting Scholar Programme at the beginning of this year. The WOT team helped to organise the ITSHC with four scientific presentations and contributed intensively to the in-depth discussions. Special thanks go to the organisers for the organisation and execution of the conference, which was very successful in terms of content and organisation.
