In machinetools several time and position varying heat sources causes complex temperature distributions. The resulting problems are varying thermal deformations which cause a loss of accuracy as well as non optimal drive conditions. An option to deal with that issue is to use structure integrated SM-actuators which use the thermal energy accumulated by machining processes to yield an actuator displacement. That creates a structure inherent control loop. There the shape-memory-elements work as sensing element as well as actuation element. The plant is defined by the thermal and mechanical behaviour of the surrounding structure. Because of the closed loop operation mode, the mechanical design has to deal with questions of stability and parameter adjustment in a control sense. In contrast to common control arrangements this issues can only be influenced by designing the actuator and the structure. To investigate this approach a test bench has been designed. The heat is yielded by a clutch and directed through the structure to the shape memory element. The force and displacement of the actuator are therefore driven directly by process heat. This paper presents a broad mechanical design approach of the test bench as well as the design of the SM-actuator. To investigate the thermo-mechanical behaviour of the structure-integrated actuator, a model of the test bench has been developed. The model covers the thermal behaviour of the test bench as well as the thermo-mechanical couplings of the shape memory actuator. The model has been validated by comprehensive measurements.

This paper proposes an approach for supporting the analysis of collected energy consumption data in combination with structured system models to reveal correlations between energy usage and related properties of products, operations and equipment. The described method serves as a starting point for the creation of tailored simulation models for energy consumption forecasts that can be used in the planning phase of manufacturing systems. Therefore several energy-oriented simulation methods are introduced and discussed regarding their suitability for different use cases in manufacturing engineering.
One approach in the area of material development Is the designing of materials properties by grain refinement. Methods of severe plastic deformation (SPD) can create ultrafine-grained or nanostructured metallic materi...

Surfaces in a wide range of engineering applications are subject to tribological loads. Many of these surfaces have a profound effect on the efficiency of manufacturing processes and products during service. This paper focuses on the effect of surface microstructure geometry on the friction coefficient between lubricated sliding partners. Initially, the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) package COMSOL Multiphysics was used to determine the effect of geometry parameters of semi-spherical cavities on hydrodynamic pressure. The simulations showed that surface microstructures act as micro pressure chambers that would allow the sliding partners to reach hydrodynamic lubrication at lower operating speeds. Patterns of the microstructure that showed the highest pressure build-up in the simulations were then manufactured by Jet-ECM and tested in a tribometer. It was determined that patterned spherical segment cavities 10 μm deep and 500 μm wide yield a friction coefficient reduction of up to 35 %.
Tool making is a very time consuming and expensive operation because many iteration loops are used to manually adjust tool components during the try-out process. That means that trying out deep drawing tools is 30% of...

During the past decade great success has been achieved in the development of duplex and multilayer multi-functional surface systems. Among these surface systems outstanding properties have nanoscale multilayer coatings. Within the framework of the M3-2S project funded in the 7th European Framework Programme, several nanoscale multilayer coatings have been developed and investigated for experimental and industrial validation. This paper shows the performance of TiN and TiN/CrN nanoscale multilayer coatings on WC cutting inserts when machining GJL250 cast iron. The thin films have been deposited by cathodic arc evaporation in an industrial PVD system. The multilayer deposition characteristic and its properties are shown. The inserts have been investigated in systematic cutting experiments of cast iron bars on a turning machine specifically equipped for force measurements, accompanied by wear determination. Furthermore, equivalent experiments have been carried out on an industrial turning unit. Industrial validation criteria have been applied to assess the comparative performance of the coatings. The choice of the material and the machined parts is driven by an interest in automotive applications. The industrial tests show the need to further optimise the multi-scale modelling approach in order to reduce the lead time of the coating development as well as to improve simulation reliability.

In the present paper the influence of a higher setting velocity in the joining process of self piercing solid‐rivets is shown. In the conventional process tool velocities well below 1 m/s are common. The present research results show the potential of increasing them in the range of about 5 m/s. The results are especially relevant for joining high‐strength steels. These steel sheets often cause problems in the process of riveting mixed materials, e. g. aluminium‐steel compound. The high strength of the steel sometimes leads to undesirable material flow in the joining process or unwanted burr development. These effects, which are described in detail in the article, can be reduced significantly for the investigated cases by the use of higher tool velocities. Using a high speed camera and a load cell, a test setup based on a drop tower was realized. It was used to time the force signals and the motion profile of the high speed riveting process. The results of the force analysis show an oscillating force progression. Within a numerical research the principal effects influencing the results of the riveting process can be shown. It was found that the pulse‐like force transmission between riveting machine and punch, results in various vibrations especially of long and thin tool parts. Hence the rivet penetrates the sheet metal with non‐uniform velocities. As a result the early indentation of die into the lower sheet metal at the beginning of the process is reduced, so that the final process step provides a sufficient material flow into the circular rivet groove. A strain‐rate dependent process model with elastic tool properties and consideration of inertia effects is presented.
