Project details

Short description

Within the scope of this research project, the application potential of tool sided tailored surfaces in a forward extrusion process was analyzed. A central objective of this work was the investigation of the the impact of industrial influencing factors on the forming results. Surface treatment of the tools was conducted using abrasive blasting and laser polishing, which was integrated as a new procedure in the Collaborative Research Center TR73. In order to analyze the applicability of these surface modifications in an industrial series process, their influence on the fatigue strength of tool steels as well as on the forming conditions and resulting component properties was determined in the course of the investigation.
