The sponsoring societies of the GA HLK are the Deutsche Keramische Gesellschaft (DKG) and the German Society for Materials Science (DGM).

The field of activity of the GA HLK comprises the production, properties and application of high-performance ceramics as well as the scientific fundamentals for, among others, monolithic materials, fiber-reinforced, ceramic materials, coatings on ceramic materials/through ceramic materials etc. In addition, the GA HLK deals with issues of training and professional development.

Other objectives are:

Deepening and cultivating cooperation between science and industry in the field of high-performance ceramics (HPC) and their application
Addressing industrial and scientific issues in the field of new HPC and manufacturing and machining/processing technologies for applications in future fields
Identification of medium- and long-term research and development fields within the framework of the development of roadmaps
Initiation of research tasks to develop a scientifically sound understanding of the fundamentals of the interrelationships between the manufacture, microstructure or nanostructure of ceramic materials and their application-related functional properties
Initiation of research and development projects
Promotion of interdisciplinary exchange of experience between manufacturers and users of HPC with scientific and business-related research institutions
Cooperation with technical-scientific societies on European and international level
Holding joint meetings and coordinating the work of the various sub-working groups or technical committees of both societies

AK Coordination

This working group coordinates the activities of the entire joint committee.

AK Reinforcement of ceramic materials

Theoretical and practical solutions are worked out to structurally improve the mechanical ceramic materials.

AK Processing properties of synthetic ceramic materials

The working group deals with the development of innovative processing techniques as well as solutions for raw material substitution.

AK Systems based on functioncal ceramics

The working group focuses its technical interest in particular on electroceramic materials and their applications, such as di-, ferro-, piezo- and pyroelectric materials, semiconducting, sensor and thermoelectric ceramic materials, magnetic ceramic materials, and ion- or mixed-conducting ceramics.

AK Process-accompanying test methods

The working group is dedicated to the development of improved in-process test methods and conducts round robin tests for this purpose.

AK Ceramic membranes

Applications, operating experience and design of ceramic membranes are the topics of the working group.

AK Bioceramics

The working group serves the exchange of information and experience between medical professionals and manufacturers of bioceramic products.
