In the evaluation of the 2021 contributions, the article of the Chair of Physical Metallurgy and Metallic Materials "An additively manufactured titanium alloy in the focus of metallography" under the leadership of Dr. Christian Fleißner-Rieger was chosen by the judging panel as the best publication. The selection was made by representatives of the editorial board of Practical Metallography, members of the Expert Committee for Metallography of the German Society for Materials Science (DGM) and Buehler staff.
