On November 4th and 5th, 2025, the gfkorr annual conference took place at DECHEMA House in Frankfurt/Main. Under the guiding theme of "Corrosion protection of infrastructure structures - challenge or odyssey?", the event offered exciting presentations and a platform for scientific exchange.
The participants presented their current research results as part of the poster competition: Carolin Knab presented investigations onthe influence of martensite transformation in iron-based shape memory alloys on the corrosion behavior. Till-Bjarne Upmeier presented the results of his research project on the corrosion behavior of additively manufactured FeCrMnNiAl steels and Lisa Ott impressed with a poster on the influence of thermal and mechanical post-treatments on the corrosion behavior of additively manufactured aluminum-silicon alloys, with which she took second place in the poster competition.
