Our range of services

  • 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) 
  • Tribological studies (e.g. tempered strip drawing tests)
  • 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
