Laser welding has a whole series of benefits such as high welding velocity or minor heat yield which is why it is becoming increasingly important. Meeting strength and quality requirements for welding seams is of eminent significance in automobile design. Unfortunately, there might be problems due to the degassing gaps needed between the joining parts when using the galvanized sheet metal that is customary in car body design. This causes incomplete fusion to form with excessively large gap dimensions that cannot be identified from outside. Nor do process monitoring systems available on the market detect these faults with sufficient reliability. VW Sachsen GmbH and the fraunhoferinstitute for machinetools and formingtechnology studied the reasons for the inadequacies of conventional systems in the MAINE X joint research project. This article presents the findings and makes recommendations for sufficient methods of detection.

In the development of modern machinetools for the automotive industry, higher productivity, higher metal removal rates and lower machining tolerances are increasingly calling for allowance to be made for misalignments due to thermal factors. Improving the accuracy of thermal simulation was the subject of a project conducted at the fraunhoferinstitute for machinetools and formingtechnology (IWU).

Sharp cutting edges of coated tools are often rounded to increase their stability. In the described investigations coated cutting edges of cemented carbide inserts were variously rounded by grinding. The coating thickness distributions in the transient region between tool flank and rake were determined by an appropriate evaluation of ball cratering tests using confocal microscopy. The cutting performance of the tools was examined in milling at different cutting speeds and chip lengths, which were adjusted based on FEM calculations. The results demonstrated that even cutting edges with slightly revealed substrate can effectively withstand the cutting loads.

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a wide-spread method for studying the mechanical properties of structures. Finite element models (FE models) are being increasingly used in medical technology and biomechanics for calculating dynamic problems with bones and artificial limbs. X-ray computer tomography data is used to create models that supply very precise information on morphology and tissue density. This article describes how experimental measurements of the dynamic behavior of the human hip bone can be obtained to verify different FE modeling approaches. Several mapping functions known from the literature will be used for material parameters in the FE models and the findings are compared. This paper specially focuses on the measuring method streamlined for fresh preparations using a 3-D laser vibrometer for the first time to capture oscillations threedimensionally.

Within this paper the application of an ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm to inspection planning is presented. Since inspection planning is a time consuming task, optimizing these activities plays a major role in the quality inspection field. In this paper the extraction procedures of local inspection path planning (LIPP) and measurement device selection (MDS) to travelling salesman problem (TSP) and subset problem are presented respectively. An ACO algorithm based on Max-Min Ant System (MMAS) is presented for solving the problems. Experiment on industrial workpiece shows the applicability of ACO to inspection planning.
Conducting 3D simulation of milling processes still causes high efforts. There, only small workpiece sections can be modelled so far, instead of the entire contact width. Approaches using 2D simulation pose an interes...

Intermediate forming aimed at distributing the material volume contributes towards better utilization of the material, reducing the amount of energy necessary for heating and improving quality by near-net-shape geometries. A range of different forming operations exists for realizing material distribution. This paper gives an overview of the process technologies used for distributing the material in an intermediate forming stage in the closed die forging of aero engine vanes and also illustrates their application areas. The development of a single cross wedge rolling operation will save two upsetting operations and one extrusion operation. A considerable reduction in cycle times and in manufacturing costs is the result of the shortened process chain. Additionally, the number of ancillary processes, such as heating, adjustment and lubricant application are reduced as well.

Because of the increasing demands for cost-effective and high-precision micro fluidic components the micro hot embossing technology becomes more and more important. An essential element of this technology is the required micro forming tool. At the moment the requirements for the minimum tool sizes are in a range of 100 um with accuracy below 2 um. However, the exactness demands partially can reach to the sub micrometer area [1]. The required structural sizes and structure forms as well as the used tool materials limit the application of conventional processes like milling. The structuring with laser offers an alternative method because the material removal with a laser beam allows the manufacturing of very fine structures also in hard and brittle materials. For initial experimental investigations a high strength ceramic material (silicon carbide) was used to produce formingtools for micro fluid components. It succeeded to produce structures with dimensions smaller than 20 um and in a depth of 200 um. The evaluation showed very good surface qualities (roughness below RZ 2.55 um) and a high geometrical accuracy. First replication experiments in PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) and polycarbonate also show good results and comparable structure qualities.

The fraunhoferinstitute for machinetools and formingtechnology has set itself the challenge of characterising the material behaviour of very recently developed sheet metal materials. To this end, an integrated concept for the determination of material characteristics has been established. This consists in further developing well-known methods based on innovative characterisation concepts for describing phenomena such as springback, anistropy and the Bauschinger Effect. Using this approach, information relating to the interaction of sheet material, lubrication and forming tool can be derived.

During the hot pressing of glass (e.g. precision glass moulding, hot embossing) form deviations between the tool geometry and the manufactured glass formed part arise. Reasons for it are different thermal expansion behaviour of the materials and technological parameters. The form deviation resulting from these measured variables gains more and more significance with a rising scale of miniaturization. For the hot embossing of flat glass substrates with several cavities (e.g. micro lens arrays, microfluidic components) at the fraunhofer IWU a method was developed, in order to determine the total form deviation with the help of uncomplex shaped dies experimentally. The obtained accuracy is sufficient in order to correct ordinary optical geometries, like spherical cavities, or the pitch of V-grooves and channel structures respectively. For different tool materials and inorganic glasses according to this method correction factors were determined to compensate the process inherent form deviation. In this way complex iteration steps in the manufacturing of the tool moulds can be minimized.
