Working Group X-ray Tomography met online

The annual meeting of the X-ray Tomography Working Group within the Materialography Technical Committee was held in "online" format on 05.05.2022. After the introduction by the working group leadership, three technical presentations were presented, which provided insights into ongoing R&D activities around the topics of laboratory-based as well as synchrotron-based X-ray tomography for materials engineering.

In the first lecture, Ms. Kristina Kutukova presented current developments of deepXscan in the field of in situ micromechanical investigations using high-resolution X-ray tomography. Mr. Yan Ma from the Max Planck Institute for Iron Research showed how correlative imaging techniques, including synchrotron-based phase contrast tomography, provide new insights for the hydrogen-based reduction of iron ores. In the final technical presentation, Ms. Katrin Bugelnig of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) showed an in situ synchrotron tomography study of the microstructure evolution of a novel titanium alloy for laser-based additive manufacturing.

After the presentations and discussions of the technical papers, the participants exchanged information on upcoming meetings dealing with the topic of the working group. Among others, the idea was raised, and positively received by all present, to strive for a concerted appearance at the next metallography meeting in 2023. Another point that was intensively discussed is the possibility of a collaboration with the project "National Research Data Infrastructure for Materials Science & Engineering (NFDI-Matwerk)". This opportunity was seen very positively by the working group participants. Therefore, Mr. Michael Engstler from Saarland University will give a keynote speech on NFDI-Matwerk at the next working group meeting.

It is planned to organize the next meeting of the working group X-ray tomography in presence. 

Prof. Dr. Guillermo Requena
