Generation of predetermined surface structures by simulation-based process and tool engineering (B03)

SP B3 develops and analyses methods for the controlled generation of surface structures on tools for the sheet bulk metal forming process. Therefore, the simulation-based engineering of milling tools and the processes generating these structures is focused. This implies a substantial extension of the existing simulation system. Additionally abrasive wet blasting processes are analysed as an alterna-tive for the structure generation. Graded structures will be manufactured as well and the behaviour of the forming tools during their application is investigated in detail.
