Georg Sachs

Georg Sachs ( Georg Oskar Sachs, also George Sachs; born April 5, 1896 in Moscow , † October 30, 1960 in Syracuse (New York) ) was a Russian-born German and American metallurgist.

Life

Sachs initially worked at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Metal Research in Berlin . The Kurdjumow-Sachs orientation relationship, which describes the orientation relationship between austenite and martensite in steels , resulted from the collaboration with the Soviet guest scientist GW Kurdjumow .

Sachs taught at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main (1930–1935) and at the Case Institute of Technology . Sachs was of Jewish descent and left Germany with his family in 1937 to flee the Nazis. They emigrated to the United States. He was the father of the astronomer Rainer K. Sachs . In 1950, Sachs was appointed an External Scientific Member at the then Max Planck Institute for Metals Research by the Max Planck Society .

The German Society for Material Science has been awarding the Georg Sachs Prize since 1968 .
