The research project “Roll-formed closed profiles made of high-strength aluminum alloys for semi-finished products and complex component geometries (high-strength aluminum profile components)”, submitted via the European Research Association for Sheet Metal Processing e.V. (EFB), was approved for the LFT. The project...

Two research projects related to press hardening were recently approved by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for the LFT:Development of a data-driven method for the process design of thermally assisted forming processes and subsequent component evaluation for press hardeningIn-...

As part of the NUMISHEET 2025 conference organized by the University of Munich (UTG) at the Technical University of Munich, three doctoral candidates from the LFT had the opportunity to present and discuss their research results with an international audience.Adam Häckel: "Investigation of the influence of relaxation on t...

The Institute of Manufacturing Technology (LFT) and the Institute of Polymer Technology (LKT) have published an article in the Journal of Advanced Joining Processes as part of their joint research project in the TRR285 "Meth­od de­vel­op­ment for mech­an­ic­al join­ab­il­ity in ver­sat­ile pro­cess chains".

The ESAFORM benchmark 2023: interlaboratory comparison benchmark for the characterization of microstructural grain growth and dynamic recrystallization kinetics of a single-phase Ni-base superalloyThis paper presents a comprehensive benchmark study funded by ESAFORM and conducted in eight European...

Tools play a key role in cold forming as they have a direct impact on part quality and process economics. High loads due to the contact pressure of the workpiece represent a major challenge in terms of tool life. Concentrated in complex geometries...

The use of high-strength, stainless materials for the production of semi-hollow punch rivets enables an increase in the resource efficiency of the rivet manufacturing process, as the usually necessary energy-intensive process steps of heat treatment and coating of the rivet are...

We are pleased to welcome a new hardness testing device to the department. Over the last two days, our employees Alina Biallas, Reiner Stadter, Arnold Harms, Raphaela März and Henrik Zieroth received intensive training and were instructed in the operation and possibilities of the hardness testing device. A...

This year's International Conference on Advanced Joining Processes was the 3rd in the series and took place October 19-20 in Braga, Portugal. The focus of the conference is on joining technology and a large number of lectures presented the latest findings in the field...
