During the 29th Hagen Symposium, the Dresden materials scientist Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bernd Kieback was awarded the 2010 Skaupy Prize, one of the most prestigious honours in the German-speaking PM world.
Thus, his manifold achievements were recognised, through which he, among others, made Dresden the center of powder metallurgy in Germany and Europe.
Throughout his career, Prof. Kieback, Director of the Dresden branch lab of the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM as well as of the Institute of Materials Science with the Chair in Powder Metallurgy, Sintered and Composite Materials at the Technical University Dresden, has been active in research and academic education in different areas of powder metallurgy, starting with sintered steel and later on mostly with hard metals. In his areas of responsibility, he creates an ideal symbiosis between powder metallurgical research and its industrial application.
In addition, the 2010 Skaupy laureate is very active in the different powder metallurgical bodies of experts; consequently, he has significantly advanced joint research and the general perception of powder metallurgy. For example, he has been head of the Gemeinschaftsausschuss Pulvermetallurgie, a board which serves as regular common discussion ground for all important scientific institutes as well as the heads of R&D departments of the powder metallurgical industry. In this function, he was also head of he prestigious Hagen Symposia on Powder Metallurgy.
In his lecture on the occasion of the award ceremony on November 25, 2010, Prof. Bernd Kieback addressed a highly topical issue. Under the title “Powder metallurgical ways to nanostructured materials“, he presented various powder metallurgical process technologies through which a great variety of materials with nanoscale structures could be produced. Those materials possess new or improved structural or functional properties or property combinations and open up novel possibilities for industrial applications.
The Skaupy laureate 2010 regards the accolade not only as a reward for his past accomplishments but also as an incentive to further promote and advance the field of powder metallurgy in both scientific research and academic education.
