Deep rolling is often used as a finishing step after cutting because of its beneficial influence on surface and subsurface properties, which lead to an increase in performance and lifecycle behavior. This manufacturing ...

For many metals, a transient variation of the yield stress can be observed when changing the orientation of a load-path. Such behavior affects the manufacturing process itself, e.g. by increasing forming forces, altered ...

To reduce friction in turbo machinery components, riblets are induced on compressor blades or pump impellers. Here, the grinding process enables a higher productivity in machining of riblet structures compared to knurling, ...

Collagen is a main component of the extracellular matrix. It is often used in medical applications to support tissue regeneration, hemostasis, or wound healing. Due to different sources of collagen, the properties and ...

Automated Fiber Placement is an important manufacturing process when it comes to aerospace part generation. To minimize the machine downtime, an online monitoring system is necessary to prevent time consuming visual ...

An ever-increasing demand for more effective products with lower weight, more compact design and extended functionality has led to the use of material combinations with locally adapted properties instead of mono-materials. ...

To date, bioceramics have not been applied successfully in total knee joint endoprostheses. Sintered bioceramics can be machined only by grinding and polishing processes. Due to high quality requirements, there are significant ...

The production rates of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) parts are rising constantly which in turn drives research to bring a higher level of automation to the manufacturing processes of CFRP. Resin transfer molding ...

Cemented carbide tools are often used for milling operations that cause high thermal and mechanical process loads, e.g. machining processes for titanium alloys. However, the disposal of those tools after one life cycle ...

This publication presents the advantages of NVEB technology as an universal tool for material processing based on our investigations on welding and cutting of high-strength S960QL, S1100 and S1300 steels. In this work, the ...
