CREMER Thermoprozessanlagen GmbH

Auf dem Flabig 6 , D - 52355 Düren-Konzendorf

CREMER is a world leading manufacturer of thermal process plants and industrial furnaces for a wide range of processes and process temperatures (400°C < T < 2500°C) under various process atmospheres for the field of iron powder metallurgy in general, CIM, MIM, AM or the production of high-performance oxide or non-oxide ceramic components.

The applications of the CREMER thermal process plants range from de-binding and sintering to a wide range of thermal treatments for ferrous and non-ferrous powders and high-performance ceramics. These include calcination, carburization, carbonization, pyrolysis as well as customized engineering processes under various furnace atmospheres (e.g. H2, 02, Endo-gas, N2-mixtures and air). In addition, the CREMER product portfolio also includes HIP and CIP plants for either AM applications or other processes where non-porous near net-shape parts are required.

CREMER stands for Made-in-Germany, continuity, flexibility and reliability. It is a middle-sized family business with 120 employees, a high production depth and extensive know-how in plant engineering and process engineering. CREMER provides outstanding 24/7 global customer full-service support out of its own workshop including turnkey installation, commissioning, training classes, spare part service and maintenance.

Chair and Institute for Materials Applications in Mechanical Engineering (IWM), RWTH Aachen University

Augustinerbach 4, 52062 Aachen, Germany

The Institute for Materials Applications in Mechanical Engineering of the RWTH Aachen was founded in 2006. It arose from a fusion of the former Institute of material science, IWK, the Institute of ceramic components, IKKM, and the field of education and research in material science, LWK.

The IWM arranges the basic education in material science for the Bachelor program of mechanical engineering and industrial engineering with specialization in mechanical engineering. Courses like, ‘Powder Metallurgy’, ‘High Temperature Application Ceramics and Metals’, ‘Failure Analysis’, ‘Materials Science and Processing’, ‘Structural Materials’, ‘Material Compounds Ceramic-Metals’ and ‘Advanced Ceramics’ are offered for various master programs.

Scientific research at the IWM deals with a wide field of application of metals, ceramics and composites materials. It includes modern powder based production routes of materials and parts, in particular AM processes, heat treatment of metallic components and design of materials and components concerning complex mechanical loads. Both, experimental testing and numerical simulation are used as solution approach. The IWM exhibits a significant experience in handling of various materials, like tool steels, high alloy stainless steels, cast iron, PM-steels, hard metals, intermetallic materials and oxide ceramics.

The Institute offers services of material testing, damage analysis and FEM calculations.
