Production strategies for components with tailored properties (e.g. by means of tailored tempering concepts)
Process chain and method planning for press hardening (e.g. determination of optimal process parameters, feasibility analyses)
Studies in the field of materials physics (determination of parameters such as thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity)
Analysis of technological material parameters (e.g. forming limit curve up to a forming temperature of 950 °C, limiting drawing ratio)
Simulation of the forming process (e.g. thermomechanically coupled forming simulation, microstructure simulation, flow simulation)
Development of tool concepts and design implementation (e.g. implementation of various tool cooling concepts)
Press hardening of sheet metal components
Media based press hardening of tubes and closed profiles (e.g. use of various gaseous active media or inductive heating of semi-finished products outside and inside the tool)
Evaluation of energy and resource efficiency of processes and process chains
