Increasing the resource efficiency of forging processes through inline defect detection of forging-hot components (T07)

• Subject Area: Primary Shaping and Reshaping Technology, Additive Manufacturing
• Term: since 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 252662854

This transfer project involves the development of a 100% inline quality control system for hot forged components and the derivation of a real-time capable process model, which is intended to increase process robustness and reduce the number of rejected parts. The geometry reconstruction of forge-hot components is carried out using simulation-based location- and object-specific air flow to compensate for optically inhomogeneous media in order to increase optical cooperativity. A data-driven digital substitute model based on FE data enables the determination of causes of errors and the derivation of approaches for process adaptation.
