Location & approach

By car

From highway “A1”

At intersection “Dortmund/Unna” change to highway “A44” in the direction of Dortmund, which becomes the B1. Take the exit “Dortmund-Dorstfeld”, in the direction of “Universität”. Turn right onto “Planetenfeldstraße”, after 850 meters turn left onto “Otto-Hahn-Straße”. After 1 km turn right onto “Marie-Curie-Allee”, after 550 meters keep slightly right to stay on “Baroper Straße”.

From highway “A45”

Take the exit “Dortmund-Eichlinghofen”, in the direction of “Universität”. Turn right onto “Stockumer Straße”, after 800 meters turn left onto “Baroper Straße”.

Please use parking lot entrances 40 or 41 for access to the “Maschinenbau III” building or entrance 42 for access to the Experimental Hall.

By bus and train

Arrival with DB to Dortmund or Bochum central station.
From Dortmund central station take the interurban train line S1 in the direction of Düsseldorf and get off at the stop “Dortmund Universität S”.
From Bochum central station with the interurban train line S1 in the direction of Dortmund and get off at the stop “Dortmund Universität S”

Hot Plate Forging of Load-Adapted Gear Racks

The innovative technology of plate forging enables the forming of load-adapted components. The application of bulk forming operations on sheet metal allows for a local increase of the sheet thickness t. Compared to components with homogeneous thickness distribution, a significant mass, material and, thus, CO₂ reduction becomes attainable. This project focuses on hot plate forging of heat-treatable steels to reach the required hardness of gears already with the subsequent quenching process. The major challenge of this project is the avoidance of folding or insufficient form filling by a numerical optimization of the workpiece geometry. Beside the optimization of the workpiece geometry, also the impact of the process parameters on the process energy and tool load is investigated. Further investigations focus on an additional thermo-mechanical load reduction by the application of numerically optimized cooling channels.
