Tailored Forming – Production of hybrid high-performance components

As part of the Collaborative Research Centre 1153, a new type of process chain is being developed for the production of load-adapted hybrid solid components using joined semi-finished products. In this way, components can be manufactured that can fulfil the required requirement profiles of the different structural and functional areas in the component much better than current components made of mono-materials. The locally customised selection of materials can also conserve resources and reduce costs.

The lecture will provide an insight into the production and fields of application of hybrid bulk components. The lecture is held in an interdisciplinary manner by six institutes of the Leibniz Universität in order to examine in detail the various challenges in the areas of design, semi-finished product manufacture, forming, post-processing, quality assurance and service life testing of hybrid components. Current research content from the Collaborative Research Centre "Process Chain for the Production of Hybrid High-Performance Components by Tailored Forming" is incorporated into the lecture on an ongoing basis.
