The project
In order to make forging process chains as efficient as possible, one or more preform operations are usually carried out before final forging. These serve to create a so-called mass pre-distribution. Up to now, preform operations have often been carried out using material-intensive or expensive processes such as drop forging or cross wedge rolling. This research project is therefore investigating the possibility of optimizing preform operations by means of novel heating strategies.
Your tasks
For the design of a forming process with inhomogeneous heating, a reliable simulation model is essential. Your task will therefore be to design a simulation model for inductive inhomogeneous heating. For the simulation model an established simulation program from the field of forming technology will be used.
It will also be part of the thesis to verify the simulation model by means of experimental trials.
Your profile
You are studying one of the following subjects:
- Electrical Engineering
