Overview

The Leibniz Institute for Materials Engineering (IWT) conducts research on highly stressed metallic structural materials. The department of heat treatment within the program-area material science is focused on tailoring microstructures by thermal, electro-thermal and thermo-chemical heat treatment methods for specific strength properties. To engage and facilitate the future transfer of heat treatment knowledge as a key technology for microstructure design in structural materials to the community the development of a heat treatment ontology processes is aimed for. This involves identifying relevant data, a proper description of the relevant processes, tailoring of software tools to gather and condense data and the derived results to integrate them into the shared materials knowledge database. Furthermore the integration of multiple analytical data sets related to a heat treatment through using tailored tools bound to eLabFTW is developed.
