Adolf Rose

Adolf Rose (born June 6, 1908 in Berlin , † August 15, 1974 in Düsseldorf ) was a German scientist in the field of steel research and a university professor.

Life

Adolf Rose attended the secondary school in Gladbeck (Westphalia), which he left at Easter 1927 with the school leaving certificate. In the summer semester of 1927, he began studying physics in Göttingen, where he became a member of the Hannovera fraternity . After four semesters he moved to the University of Munich, two semesters later to the University of Bonn. Here he received his doctorate with the dissertation published in 1933 "About a simple vacuum flux apt spectograph and its application for recording emission and adsorption spectra" for Dr. phil.

The following year he worked at the Physics Institute at the University of Bonn. He then took a position as a research assistant at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Iron Research in Düsseldorf, which was part of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society for the Advancement of Science, later the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science. At this research facility, where he worked until his retirement, he first worked in the Thomas slag steel laboratory . He then did research in the X-ray laboratory; after that he devoted himself in particular to the transformation behavior of steels, primarily through different heat treatments during manufacture. He was promoted to head of the laboratory for constitution research . In 1961 he received a teaching position from the Technical University of Hanover , which appointed him honorary professor in 1963.

Honors

• The "Scientific and Technical Working Group for Hardening Technology and Heat Treatment e. V. (AHT) ”donated the“ Adolf Martens Medal ”in 1957, which was to be awarded to personalities from science and technology who, with their work, have significantly expanded the knowledge that is crucial for the heat treatment of workpieces and the assessment of materials. In 1963, Adolf Rose was the fourth scientist to be awarded this medal.
• The appointment as chairman of the Scientific Council of the Working Group of Industrial Research Associations meant a special tribute to him .
• The "Materials Committee" set up by the Association of German Ironworkers (VDEh) at the time appointed Adolf Rose an honorary member in 1973.

From 1935 onwards, Adolf Rose published the research results, which he had often achieved with colleagues, in at least 69 publications, especially in the Stahleisen publishing house in Düsseldorf, in the series "Mitteilungen aus dem Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung" in Düsseldorf, in the "Reports of the Materials Committee of the Association of German Ironworkers" and in the "Research Reports of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia", which were edited by the Westdeutscher Verlag Köln, cf. also catalog of the German National Library.

His particularly noteworthy works include:

• Atlas for the heat treatment of steels, vol. 1: Franz Wever, Adolf Rose: Verlag Stahleisen, Düsseldorf 1954-1958 (loose-leaf collection), vol. 2: Adolf Rose; Hans Hougardy: Verlag Stahleisen, Düsseldorf 1972 (reprint 1989)
