Due to their higher weight-specific and high-temperature strength, iron-aluminium alloys have a high potential to replace steel in various applications. The good availability of the two materials, the excellent recyclability, ...

Residual stresses resulting from hot-forming processes represent an important aspect of a component’s performance and service life. Considering the whole process chain of hot forming, the integrated heat treatment provided ...

The family of bulk forming technologies comprises processes characterised by a complex three-dimensional stress and strain state. Besides shape and material properties, also residual stresses are modified during a bulk ...
