Light Metals, from Fundamentals to Application
LightMAT 2027 focuses on aluminium, magnesium, titanium and their alloys, viewed both as individual materials and in multi-material designs. The scientific exchange covers processing, joining, corrosion protection, characterization, modelling and sustainable manufacturing.
Processing and joining
Forming, heat treatment, joining, surface protection and production routes for lightweight applications.
Sustainable materials
Scientific results on green manufacturing, closed material cycles and resource-efficient lightweight design.
The Conference Topics
From alloy design and processing to joining, corrosion protection, characterization, modelling and sustainable manufacturing - the scientific scope of LightMAT 2027.
From Abstract to Program
Every DGM Conference follows a transparent path from submitted abstracts to a curated scientific program. The review and program work is carried by members of the materials community.
Where LightMAT 2027 Takes Place
The conference, posters, exhibition and exchange formats take place at Campus Buschhütten in Siegen - a university-industry environment focused on production technology and knowledge transfer.
Conference venue
Campus Buschhütten, Siegen
Siegener Straße 152, 57223 Kreuztal. The venue is part of the Siegen region and combines university research, industry transfer and modern production-technology infrastructure.
