| Project | Burr avoidance in flash-free forging of aluminum under consideration of industry-related process parameters and variation of tool-integrated sealing concepts (FlidiAl) |
The project
The targeted design of a sealing system is a decisive factor in reducing flaking during precision forging of aluminum. Avoiding flitter burr is essential for efficient material utilization and a reduction in the necessary reworking.
In the research project, the influence of different process parameters on the resulting stresses in the precision forging process is being investigated by means of simulative preliminary investigations. The aim is to create basic knowledge about the formation and avoidance of flitter burr within aluminum solid forging under industrially relevant process conditions.
Your tasks
Within the project, your tasks include the independent processing of the following main topics:
- Development of a simulation concept for the identification of flash influencing process parameters
- Simulative parameter variation during precision forging of alminium
- Development and influence analysis of a target-oriented sealing concept
Within the work the deepening of competences in FEM simulations and gasket development is enabled.
