The reinforcement of light metal components with steel allows to increase the strength of the part while keeping the weight comparatively low. Lateral angular co-extrusion (LACE) offers the possibility to produce hybrid ...

In the list of authors in this paper, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Kaierle is incorrectly assigned to the Institute of Production Systems and Logistics, Leibniz University Hannover, An der Universität 2, 30823, Garbsen, Germany (1). In ...

Metal foams are attractive for lightweight construction in the automotive sector since they provide high-energy absorption and good damping properties, which is crucial, e.g., for crash structures. Currently, however, foams ...

To combine the advantages of two materials, hybrid bulk metal workpieces are attractive for subsequent processes such as metal forming. However, hybrid materials rely on the initial bond strength for the effective transfer ...

The use of lightweight materials is one possibility to limit the weight of vehicles and to reduce CO2 emissions. However, the mechanical properties and weight-saving potential of mono-materials are limited. Material compounds ...
