SFB 489:  Process Chain for the Production of Precision Forged High Performance Components

Subject Area Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
Materials Science and Engineering
Term from 2000 to 2011
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 5483994
 
Due to the increasing competition companies are forced to introduce innovative production technologies rather than only relying on the evolution of established processes. The striving for economic production methods with short processing times as well as the risen requirements for properties of today's high performance components moves near-net-shape forming methods into the centre of attention.
The goal of the collaborative research cCentre 489 is to develop new technologically and logistically innovative as well as economic process chains based on precision forging technology for the mass production of high performance components. One main target is to realise a considerable reduction of the entire process chain which is founded on the integration of manufacturing steps as well as the substitution of metal cutting sequences by the employment of the precision forging technique. Thus, it is necessary to convert smooth metal cutting sequences for the precision forging process together with an integrated heat treatment. In the same time the solution of the interface adoption between the different manufacturing processes from the domains forming, material science, machining and logistic is necessary.
To achieve these goals, all aspects of the process chain have to be taken into account. Therefore, the collaborative research centre 489 encircles 13 sectional projects, following the production process of the component in the three project domains technology, process chain and logistic.
