The donation will be used for the further development of bar, strip and rod forming processes with emphasis on energy and materials efficiency. The Institute of Metal Forming, whose origins go back to 1928, focuses on steel materials and light metals, especially magnesium, the characterisation of materials, the numerical simulation of forming processes, and forming plant engineering, and organises the MEFORM

The wire 2014 and Tube 2014 trade shows are not only a forum where new manufacturing technologies are on display but also encourage the technology transfer between research and industry. Messe Düsseldorf, organisers of both trade shows, supports research institutes which are busy in this field and therefore a source of innovative ideas. In May, Friedrich-Georg Kehrer, director wire/Tube Düsseldorf, handed over a cheque for €10,000 to Prof Dr-Ing Rudolf Kawalla, director of the Institute of Metal Forming at the Freiberg University of Mining and Technology. The handover took place during an official ceremony on the occasion of re-opening the institute building after extensive renovation works.
