In hot forging processes, geometry of the formed workpieces deviate from the desired target geometry, due to complex interactions between tools and billets which result in inhomogeneous temperature and stress fields. The ...

Multi-material solutions offer numerous benefits as they, in contrary to conventional monolithic parts, represent tailor-made hybrid components with enhanced application-optimisation properties. The use of hybrid semi-finished ...

As a result of the general need for lightweight product design, multi-material systems are gaining in importance. In addition to reducing component weight, the combination of different materials in a single component allows ...

Multi-material solutions represent a promising approach for the production of load-optimised parts. The combination of material-specific advantages of different materials in a single component allows the fulfilment of ...
