3rd Meeting of the European Gleeble Working Group

3rd Meeting of the European Gleeble Working Group

Date: March 19th, 2013
Location: Institute of Metal Forming, TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany

The EU Gleeble Working Group was founded in 2007 in Freiberg with the aim of achieving information exchange between Gleeble operators. The 2013 meeting will focus on deformation and hot working of materials.

Topics Include:
‐ Material properties and the influence of boundary conditions on its significance
‐ Optimization of the control software for testing with high strain rate
‐ Development of control and evaluation software for MaxStrain® tests
‐ Development of new software based on Windows

The meeting will take place the day before the international conference MEFORM which will also be held at TU Bergakademie Freiberg.

ICSMA - June 2nd - 6th, 2025 - Kyoto, Japan

The DSI team is excited to be exhibiting at the 20th International Conference on Strength of Materials (ICSMA XX) in Kyoto, Japan, from June 2–6, 2025. Visit us to learn how our advanced materials testing solutions, including the latest innovations in high-temperature and small-scale testing, are helping researchers and engineers drive new discoveries. We look forward to connecting with the global materials science community and discussing how DSI systems can support your research goals!

Tom Schambron

Bluescope Steel

"…world research and innovation are cornerstones of our business - the Gleeble is key to meeting the objectives of BlueScope. It assists in product development and improvement—such as trialling new steel grades, processing parameters, and so forth—and in tracking and solving of quality issues."

Damien Fabrègue

The Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (National Institute of Applied Science) de Lyon, Villeurbanne, France

"...this is the only piece of equipment that I can do everything with. I can always do what I want. It may take some time to optimize the work, but in the end, you can always run the experiment or do the simulation that you wanted to do."

Dr. John Bowker

Former Senior Research Scientist CANMET Materials Technology Laboratory (CANMET-MTL)

"The Gleeble is one of the most heavily used machines at our lab... We have used and continue to use it for a broad range of thermo-mechanical simulation procedures. These include: welding applied to shipbuilding, marine materials, offshore structures and pipelines; compression testing to characterize the flow stress behavior of steels and aluminum alloys: and in situ melting and solidification to understand the effects of residuals on hot ductility."

Dr. David Matlock

Colorado School of Mines

"Flexibility is the key to our extensive use of the Gleeble. It helps us to get maximum productivity out of the work we do."

Dr. Brian Damkroger

Los Alamos National Laboratory

"Only the Gleeble is fast enough to allow us to physically simulate the thermal profile of electron beam welding”

Dr. Hirowo Suzuki

Nippon Steel (retired)

“In my opinion, Dynamic Systems is the top company in this kind of test equipment… worldwide.”

Chihiro Kasamatsu

Material Evaluation Department Aichi Steel Corporation

“…we are concentrating on testing with the Gleeble to reduce costs in our forging production processes…”

Dr. Luis A. Colembergue Klujszo

Gerdau Aços Especiais Piratini

"Through the capability of simulating large scale, expensive processes in a small scale, laboratory environment, the Gleeble has made it easier for Gerdau to improve products and processes. Furthermore, all the controls available in the equipment bring a whole lot of reliability to the results, making the conclusions very sound."

Dr. Hans Peter Schmitz

ThyssenKrupp Stahl

“ In our labs, we do physical simulation… We try to reproduce as precisely as possible what is going on in the actual production lines. If you do it very carefully, you can transfer the result into the production lines, and you can use the results for building up numerical models."

Dr. Warren Poole

University of British Columbia

"We had to generate all the parameters and then to validate the predictions that the computer model made… The Gleeble played a central role in that project. We did austenite grain growth studies, double-hit compression tests to study recrystallization, and continuous cooling transformations, with and without compression."

Dr. Leijun Li

Utah State University

"On the Gleeble we can not only control all the mechanical properties, but we’re in command of the thermal properties and the atmosphere. With the Gleeble, we can do complicated applications, watch what is happening, see the effect of temperature, and know how much energy is going in. It would take a lot more time and money to do it with equipment other than the Gleeble."

Dr. Arnold Marder

Energy Research Center, Lehigh University

“What we are aiming at is intelligent processing. That’s where the Gleeble gives us a tremendous advantage. By allowing us to carefully simulate and model thermal and mechanical processes”

Dr. Mahesh Chaturvedi, Ph.D., FASM

University of Manitoba, Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering

“We want to understand what the fundamental causes for thermo-mechanical fatigue are, so we use the Gleeble to apply load and temperature, sometimes in sync and sometimes out of sync. The Gleeble can keep going for days, executing the same program again and again... it gives us excellent reproducibility.”
