Profile and Sheet Metal Forming
Research Focus
- Development of innovative forming technologies for the flexible production of profiles, tubes and sheet metal
- Temperature-assisted forming processes
- Investigations on the development and influence of forming-induced damage in bending
- Application of stress-superposition to reduce forming forces and control of the resulting product properties
