ZwickRoell Forum for High-Temperature and Creep Testing on May 13 and 14, 2025
The 10thZwickRoell Forum for High-Temperature and Creep Testing took place on May 13–14, 2025 in Fürstenfeld, Austria.
The event featured presentations and workshops covering the latest trends and developments in the field of high-temperature testing, creep testing, hydrogen testing and non-contact strain measurement. Attendees were able to experience the newest testing solutions through various exhibits. They had the opportunity to talk to specialists in a comfortable atmosphere, participate in various activities, and win great prizes to mark our 10th anniversary.
