Hot stamping is an important technology for manufacturing high-strength components. This technology offers the possibility to achieve significant weight reductions. In this study, cushion-ram pulsation (CRP), a new technology for hot stamping on servo-screw presses, was investigated and applied for hot stamping. Compared to a conventional process, the tests yielded a significantly higher drawing depth. In this paper, the CRP technology and the first test results with hot stamping were described in comparison to the conventional process.

This paper shows a numerical and experimental analysis of the different problems occurring during or after the conventional self-pierce riveting with semi-tubular and solid rivets of the high strength aluminum alloy EN AW-7021 T4. Furthermore this paper describes different pre-process methods by which the fracture in the high strength aluminum, caused by the self-pierce riveting processes, can be prevented and proper joining results are achieved. On this basis, the different approaches are compared regarding joint strength.

The development approach for an energy storage system focuses on optimal sized double-layer capacitor modules to reduce peak power and to avoid malfunctions of production machinery caused by voltage interruptions. The required kind of charging for the energy storage system and adjustment of voltage control parameters was executed for line-side converters of drive groups in production machinery. The energy efficiency of electric drives with and without such an energy storage system was investigated by means of active power measurements and simulations of electric power flows in Matlab/SimPowerSystems.

To stay competitive and to fulfill the changing market needs, manufacturing companies have to adapt their manufacturing systems in frequent and short intervals. Hence, changeable and reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) are proposed and discussed in a multitude of research publications. While production planning becomes increasingly complex in this context, it has to be reliable and quick at the same time. Therefore, the performance and flexibility of manufacturing systems depends on actual and suitable planning data with high quality and wide range. In this context, a new approach for production planning in reconfigurable manufacturing systems is exposed in this paper. Data models, a configuration management and a sequential method for the resource planning help to integrate reconfigurable manufacturing systems’ key characteristics in production planning and control (PPC). Finally a prototypical application scenario, for the evaluation and demonstration of the feasibility of the planning approach, is outlined.

Temperature fields and subsequent heat flow into the components chip, tool and workpiece are of major significance for metal cutting. The temperature field in the tool influences for example the type of wear and the tool life and hence the temperatures evolving in the workpiece are responsible for later product quality. However, measurements of temperature fields in metal cutting require experimental efforts and are often prone to measurement errors. The present paper describes an analytical modelling method based on potential theory. Potential functions are successfully applied in other engineering fields, i.e. fluid mechanics and electrostatics. The fact that solutions for the same class of differential equation, namely the Laplace Differential Equation, are required give rise to apply the potential theory to describe the temperature field in metal cutting processes. While first approaches of the theory were more arbitrary, the so called panel method provides a systematic method for consideration of adiabatic boundaries and heat source strengths. In particular, cutting edge geometries and cutting edge radius as well as influence of wear can be considered with this method. Note that complex geometries and non-symmetrical heat sources cannot be covered by conventional analytical models of temperature fields in metal cutting. In terms of validation the modelling outcomes are compared to infrared camera pictures, conventional analytical model outcomes (modified model from Komanduri & Hou) and FEM simulation outcomes.

In contrast to common and classical joining technologies for composite/metal hybrid structures such as bonding and riveting, profile and contour joints offer a promising potential for novel lightweight hybrid structures. First and foremost, joining systems with a form closure function enable to pass very high loads into rod- and tube-shaped fibre reinforced structures and achieve high degrees of material utilization for the composite part. This paper demonstrates the theoretical and technological principals for a resource efficient design and production of highly loaded thermoplastic composite profile structures with integrated metallic load introduction elements and a multi scale form closure. The hybrid structures are produced in an integral blow moulding process in which a braided tape-preform is simultaneously consolidated and formed into the metallic load introduction element. These metallic load introduction elements are manufactured in a two-stage process of external and internal hydroforming, after forming simulations have assured process stability for consistent quality.

The present work deals with a technological study to integrate the 1.4034 martensitic stainless steel sheet alloy in the conventional press hardening process. Based on preliminary work, side sill demonstrators with tailored mechanical properties were manufactured by press hardening under conventional process parameters. The resulting microstructure and mechanical properties of the produced parts were characterized. The tailoring of the mechanical properties consists of the development of two sections with completely different mechanical properties in a single part. To achieve this, a half of the blank was insulated with a refractory during austenitization treatment. This avoided the heating of the insulated side until the austenitization temperature. Therefore, only the non-insulated side was hardened by quenching. Moreover, depending on the austenitization temperature the resulting mechanical properties can be adjusted.

The rising requirements in cutting operations for higher performance and higher efficiency respecting also environmental phenomena are influencing the use of different coolants and flushing conditions. In machining difficult-to-cut materials, in particular high-temperature materials, conventional emulsion cooling is unsuitable due to the insufficient cooling effect and the energy and cost intensive equipment required. For this reason new cooling and lubricating strategies have to be developed and investigated. Using hybrid processes, mainly by superposition of various cooling strategies, offers the potential to extend the existing technological process limits of conventional cutting processes. The paper introduces theoretical, experimental and simulation results with various innovative cooling strategies, such as high-pressure cooling, cryogenic cooling and aerosol dry lubrication in grooving, turning and drilling and derives the appropriate field of application for each flushing strategy.
Rising demand for energy caused by emerging economies, decreasing oil stocks, and the intended nuclear phase-out in some industrial countries has led to new problems concerning sufficient and on time energy supply. Si...

Vibration assisted machining (VAM)adds sinusoidal tool vibration to the conventional machining (CM) process. It is generally recognized that VAM can effectively improve machining quality and machining efficiency, however, the theoreticalbasis for this isnot fully developed. One feasible explanation is about the improvement of cutting stability. In the previous literatures, time-domain simulationsof chatter forCM and VAM have been compared, showing VAM can suppress chatter and increase cutting stability under various conditions. However, the stability lobe diagram that givesa global picture of the stability behavior is still unavailable for VAM. This paper is dedicated to draw the stability lobe diagram for VAM and compare it with that for CM. An analytical predictive force model is developed to determine the dynamic cutting forcein VAM, incorporating material properties, tool geometry, cutting conditions and vibration parameters. Then a stability analysis based on the proposed force model is done and the corresponding stability lobe diagram is obtained, which shows the effect of VAM on cutting stability on a large spindle speed scale. Finally, cutting experiments about surface roughnessare carried out to verify the theoretical conclusion.
