Multi-material bulk metal components allow for a resource efficient and functionally structured component design, with a load adaptation achieved in certain functional areas by using similar and dissimilar material combinations. One possibility for the production of hybrid bulk metal components is Tailored Forming, in which pre-joined semi-finished products are hot-formed using novel process chains. By means of Tailored Forming, the properties of the joining zone are geometrically and thermomechanically influenced during the forming process. Based on this motivation, forming processes (die forging, impact extrusion) coupled with adapted inductive heating strategies were designed using numerical simulations and successfully realised in the following work in order to produce demonstrator components with serial or coaxial material arrangements. The quality of the joining zone was investigated through metallographic and SEM imaging, tensile tests and life cycle tests. By selecting suitable materials, it was possible to achieve weight savings of 22% for a pinion shaft and up to 40% for a bearing bush in the material combination of steel and aluminium with sufficient strength for the respective application. It was shown that the intermetallic phases formed after friction welding barely grow during the forming process. By adjusting the heat treatment of the aluminium, the growth of the IMP can also be reduced in this process step. Furthermore, for steel-steel components alloy savings of up to 51% with regard to chromium could be achieved when using low-alloy steel as a substitute for high-alloy steel parts in less loaded sections. The welded microstructure of a cladded bearing washer could be transformed into a homogeneous fine-grained microstructure by forming. The lifetime of tailored formed washers nearly reached those of high-alloyed mono-material components.
