On February 2–3, 2027, the international Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) community will gather in Bochum, Germany, for BoKoMaT_10 – Industry Edition. The tenth edition of the Bochum Colloquium for Martensitic Transformations puts industrial applications, innovative technologies and real-world use cases at the center of the conversation.
From Shape Memory Materials to Real-World Applications
Shape Memory Alloys offer unique functional properties and open up opportunities for a wide range of technologies. As applications evolve, the exchange between material producers, component developers, industrial users and researchers becomes increasingly important.
Under the theme “From Shape Memory Materials to Real-World Applications,” BoKoMaT 2027 will focus on how SMA technologies are developed, processed and implemented in practice. The conference brings together industrial experience and scientific expertise to discuss technological challenges, practical solutions and new opportunities for collaboration.
Organized by the Chair of Materials Science at Ruhr University Bochum and Ingpuls GmbH, BoKoMaT continues to connect the international SMA community.
Industrial Applications Across the SMA Value Chain
BoKoMaT_10 – Industry Edition offers an international platform for sharing experience and exploring the industrial potential of shape memory technology. The conference will address the value chain from material production and processing to component development and system integration.
