Bei der dritten Ausgabe unseres Praxiszirkels Werkstoffanalytik dreht sich am 4. April 2022 in Neuhausen alles um Werkstoffsicherheit von der Konzeption bis zur Serie.

Die korrekte Wahl des Werkstoffs und ein werkstoffgerechtes Design garantieren allein noch nicht Funktion und technische Sicherheit über die Lebensdauer eines Bauteils oder Produkts. Nutzen Sie die Gelegenheit, erhalten Sie an unserem Anlass Einblicke in realitätsnahe und werkstoffkundlich fundierte Analytik- und Prüfmethoden. Diskutieren Sie mit den Referierenden, anderen Anwendern und Technologieentwicklern Herausforderungen, Lösungen und Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten bei Werkstoffauswahl, Charakterisierung und Test von hochbeanspruchten Bauteilen und Komponenten.

Die Vielfalt der Praxis lernen Sie in einem Rundgang durch die umfangreichen Labors und Prüfstände des Gastgebers, Suisse Technology Partners AG, kennen. Wie immer bleibt zwischendurch und beim Apéro reichlich Gelegenheit für Austausch und Networking

The report "Research and Innovation in Switzerland" (R&I Report) shows the performance of the Swiss research and innovation system (R&I system) and contributes to a better understanding of the Swiss R&I landscape. The findings of the R&I Report serve as a basis for the preparation of the Federal Council's four-year messages on the promotion of education, research and innovation (ERI messages).

As part of a joint development project between Audi Sport, the Paul Scherrer Institute and ANAXAM, a tailor-made test bench for dynamic neutron radiography was realised. In close cooperation with Audi Sport, the test bench was designed and subsequently constructed, manufactured and commissioned by ANAXAM. The test bench is designed in such a way that relevant parameters can be dynamically adjusted during the test. This means that real driving conditions can be simulated well on the test bench. The measurements were then carried out at the NEUTRA beamline of the SINQ spallation neutron source at PSI.

The aim of the joint project was to visualise the micromovements of brake pistons non-destructively and to analyse them in more detail.
