Grinding strategies for local and stress orientated subsurface-modification of sheet-bulk metal forming tools (B08)

• Subject Area: Primary Shaping and Reshaping Technology, Additive Manufacturing
• Term: from 2013 to 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 68237143

In the first subproject phase a model for inducing tool life enhancing subsurface properties via the grinding process was developed. In the next phase strategies will be investigated to ensure process robustness of the grinding for changing grinding tool qualities. Another research focus will be the impact of the reinforcement of the forming tools on the manufacturing as well as the subsurface properties in transition areas between differently manufactured tool regions.
