The German Society for Material Science (DGM) is a technical-scientific society in the field of materials science and technology in the legal form of a registered association . It was founded in 1919 in Berlin as a non-profit association called the German Society for Metal Customers .

history

The Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Iron Research was founded in 1917, the German Society for Metallurgy in 1919, the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Metal Research in 1921 and the Emergency Association of German Science in 1922 . Scheduled scientific research was recognized as an urgent need after the First World War . It was emphasized again and again that the importance of an industry, its validity on the world markets, depends on the level of scientific knowledge. In the memorandum of the Notgemeinschaft der deutschen Wissenschaft, the research program first pointed out the crucial importance of the metal industry for Germany and noted that the knowledge of metallic materials was much less developed than it corresponded to economic needs. It was therefore demanded to clarify the nature of the metallic state up to atomic physical considerations, to research the connection between the physical and chemical properties of metals and alloys and to derive investigations into the problems of strength, plasticity and shape.

Here, the three branches are already mentioned, which have developed up to the present day with a changing focus, metal physics, metal science , metal technology . The founders of the society were convinced of the necessity of promoting these three areas of work, as can be seen from the speeches given at the founding meeting on November 27, 1919. Emil Heyn , together with William Guertler and chief engineer Johan Czochralski, did the decisive preparatory work for the establishment of the German Society for Metallurgy and the establishment of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Metals Research. He was the first chairman of the society and the first director of the institute. The board and its advisory board included leading metallurgists.

profile

The technical-scientific associations to which the DGM belongs offer a forum where different interest groups between the state and the private sector meet and communicate with one another. You thereby support the networking of science and practice. Their specialist committees form the pre-competitive framework for the successful implementation of the jointly developed research results.

Both people from industry and science are represented on the board, and the chairmanship changes regularly between industry and institute representatives. A scientific advisory board underpins the research and technical competence of the company. Frank OR Fischer has been a managing board member of DGM since January 2009.

As of December 31, 2015, the DGM had a total of 2,441 personal members (as of the reporting date of the previous year: 2412). In addition, 1918 basic members (previous year 1356) and 197 company and institute members (previous year 196) were members of the association.

Technical committees and working groups

Every year more than 2,500 experts from science and industry meet in more than 70 specialist committees and working groups. The specialist committees of the DGM cover almost all material classes, process technologies for material production and processing, fields of knowledge and application in the field of materials science and technology. The DGM technical committee and working group meetings are open to the public.

Honors and prizes

In recognition of special achievements, personalities in the field of materials science and engineering are honored annually.

The following are awarded:

  • Heyn commemorative coin
  • DGM price
  • DGM honorary membership
  • Tammann commemorative coin
  • Masing Memorial Prize
  • Georg Sachs Prize
  • Werner Köster Prize
  • Materialography Prize
  • Roland Mitsche Prize
  • DGM young talent award

Areas of Effect

As a founding member of the European umbrella organization FEMS, the DGM is also internationally networked.

Contacts with other companies

The DGM maintains close contacts to the German Research Foundation - DFG, to the Federal Association of Materials Science and Materials Technology - MatWerk, to the thematic network of materials science and materials technology - acatech, to the study day materials science and materials technology , to the technical and scientific societies, to special purpose associations and to regional specialist representatives and trade associations.
