TL;DR: In this article, the deformation behavior of a lattice structure produced by selective laser melting (SLM) on the local scale by means of a comprehensive experimental in situ approach, including electron backscatter diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and digital image correlation SLM-processed as well as heat treated lattice structures made from TiAl6V4 alloy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an efficient and controlled process for producing CFRP reinforced steel structures from semi-finished hybrid steel-CFRP material, which is used to reinforce highly stressed areas and can be aligned to specific load cases.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on basic technological investigations in the field of manufacturing of hybrid structures by utilising the intrinsic RTM technology, and the results of four-point bending tests and crash tests on hybrid omega profiles are presented, analyzed and evaluated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the prepreg press technology for manufacturing automotive structural components in a hybrid design is illustrated and the advantages of this technology compared to conventional processing methods for FRP are highlighted.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of various surface pretreatment methods on the shear strength of the hybrid structures out of aluminium or steel and CFRP is investigated and failure behavior is analyzed.
