Journal ArticleDOI
Closed-loop control of product properties in metal forming
Julian M. Allwood,Stephen R. Duncan,Jian Cao,Peter Groche,Gerhard Hirt,Brad L. Kinsey,T. Kuboki,Mathias Liewald,A. Sterzing,A. E. Tekkaya +9 more
TL;DR: A framework of analysis is presented for understanding closed-loop control in metal forming, allowing an assessment of current and future developments in actuators, sensors and models, and a discussion of likely developments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal forming beyond shaping: Predicting and setting product properties
A. E. Tekkaya,Julian M. Allwood,Paolo Francesco Bariani,Stefania Bruschi,Jian Cao,S. Gramlich,Peter Groche,Gerhard Hirt,Takashi Ishikawa,Christian Löbbe,J. Lueg-Althoff,Marion Merklein,Wojciech Z. Misiolek,Maciej Pietrzyk,Rajiv Shivpuri,Jun Yanagimoto +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a paradigm change in designing products by including manufacturing-induced effects in the initial dimensioning, which will lead to lightweight components and serve environmentally benign designs.
Book
Thixoforming : semi-solid metal processing
Gerhard Hirt,Reiner Kopp +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a simulation of the flow behavior of semi-solid metal alloys in the form of a fraction fraction of slurries in a semi-solved state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing of the drawing depth using tailor rolled blanks—Numerical and experimental analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a tailor-rolled blank (TRB) is used to increase the maximum drawing depth compared to blanks having a constant thickness, which can be achieved by weakening certain areas of the blank in a way that the load in failure at critical areas is reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser-assisted asymmetric incremental sheet forming of titanium sheet metal parts
Alexander Göttmann,Jö Diettrich,Georg Bergweiler,Markus Bambach,Gerhard Hirt,Peter Loosen,Peter Loosen,Reinhart Poprawe,Reinhart Poprawe +8 more
TL;DR: First experimental results show that the formability of the alloy Ti Grade 5 (TiAl6V4), which is usually used in aeronautic applications, can be increased.
