Over 20 participants at the TAE seminar 2016 12. May 2016At the seminar on topography and morphology of functional stainless steel surfaces, we were able to welcome over 20 participants this year. Once again, participants were able to find out about the properties and machining possibilities of stainless steels. The local experts answered the questions of the participants and were delighted with the active participation.The interactive nature of the seminar worked well – amongst other things, the participants carried out roughness measurements, thereby experiencing the microscopic effects of different machining methods of stainless steels for themselves.We would like to thank all participants and we hope that the participation next year will be just as good and active.The next seminar will take place on 5 and 6 April 2017 again in Ostfildern.
