Biography
CHRISTOPH SCHICK is Professor at the Institute of Physics in the University of Rostock since 1992 and is Head of the Polymer Physics Group. He received his PhD degree in 1980 for research in the field of glass transition with Prof. E. Donth as his mentor. As a post doc, he became interested in the interplay between glass transition and crystallization in polymers. In this field he completed his Habilitation in 1988. Since then his research focuses on advanced calorimetry, like temperature modulated or fast scanning, applied to polymers, metals, and other substances. He is interested in crystallization, nucleation, and glass transition in these materials.
Expectations for WRHI
The joined experiments together with Prof. Junko Morikawa, Tokyo Institute of Technology, School of Materials and Chemical Technology, will provide deeper insights in thermophysical properties of different materials. Our particular interest focusses on the better understanding of the influence of heating and cooling rates during laser assisted additive manufacturing on final solidification of micrometer sized metal particles.

Surface Inoculation of Aluminium Powders for Additive Manufacturing Guided by Differential Fast Scanning Calorimetry and Fast Infrared Thermography
Due to difficulties in the solidification process, like crack formations and porosity, additive manufacturing of metal and especially of aluminium is still limited to a restricted set of alloys. To improve the solidification process of laser beam melting (LBM) the project is designed to modify the powder surface by adding nanoparticles for a guided nucleation. In-situ testing of the fast melting and solidification process of single particles is to be performed by using differential fast scanning calorimetry (DFSC) in combination with fast infrared thermography. These results will be transferred to LBM of aluminium alloys. Specimen will be printed, to test crack formations and material properties by compound characterisation techniques.
