Fördergemeinschaft Druckgießforschung (Support Association for High Pressure Die Casting Research)

Information on the Fördergemeinschaft Druckgießforschung

Since 1986, the Institut für Füge- und Schweißtechnik (Institute of Joining and Welding) at the Technische Universität Braunschweig has been cooperating closely with companies from the die casting industry. The organizational framework for this is the Fördergemeinschaft Druckgießforschung (Support Association for High Pressure Die Casting Research). The aim of the Fördergemeinschaft Druckgießforschung is the consistent further development of the die casting process as well as an active exchange of opinions and experience between the participating industrial companies and the Institut für Füge- und Schweißtechnik with regard to current topics and results from research and development.

Within the framework of this circle, research projects are discussed, initiated and also carried out jointly. This also provides a platform for transferring findings from university research to industry. The aim is to ensure that research is always practice-oriented and uses the latest technologies and processes. The Fördergemeinschaft Druckgießforschung therefore operates a state-of-the-art research foundry together with the Institut für Füge- und Schweißtechnik. The many years of expertise of the individual members are a valuable source here for the implementation and planning of research projects. On the other hand, the institute staff is also available to the members of the Fördergemeinschaft with their experience as well as overview of current research results in the academic world.

The Fördergemeinschaft Druckgießforschung is open for further members. However, it is desired here that new members are open to an exchange of opinions and experience and also actively participate.

The chairman of the Fördergemeinschaft Druckgießforschung is Prof. Dr.-Ing. Klaus Dilger in his function as head of the Institut für Füge- und Schweißtechnik. The Fördergemeinschaft Druckgießforschung is currently headed by Christoph Demmin of Bocar GmbH. Dr.-Ing. Norbert Hoffmann is responsible for the organization of the die casting research association. Dr. Hoffmann will be pleased to provide you with further information.
