Ms. Kanagarajah wrote her master's thesis at the Chair of Materials Testing Technology (WPT) on the topic "Evaluation of the performance of micromagnetic testing methods for property characterization of the metastable austenitic steel X2CrNi18-9 during flow-forming". Her work was supervised by Prof. Frank Walther and Mr. Julian Rozo Vasquez. Mr. Vogel wrote his master's thesis at the Institute of Machining Technology (ISF) with the title "Investigation of the microfinishing process for the specific adjustment of the properties of rotationally symmetrical functional surfaces". His work was supervised by Prof. Dirk Biermann and Mr. Meik Tilger.
After a short welcome and introductory words from the VDI Circle of Friends and the CES Foundation, the award winners were allowed to present their Master's theses to those present. Afterwards, there was the opportunity to discuss the theses in detail in the plenum.
