Geometry processing for the virtual realization of manufacturing processes (B01)

• Subject Area: Materials Engineering
• Term: from 2007 to 2015
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 16071898

The project deals with the extension of the previously developed workpiece-based thermal spray coating simulation, which is employed for path- and process-planning to achieve a near-net-shape coating distribution. One goal is the exploration of efficient calibration methods for the simulation by optical measurement and geometric modeling of the spray cone geometry, and by methods of inverse simulation based on complex geometries. To minimize the residual stress of the coating, caused by the high thermal load, the simulation system is extended by a module for the computation of the coating layer residual stresses.
