CRC 1153 | At the new Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) of Leibniz Universität Hannover, the aim of 40 scientists is to revolutionize massive forming – by first joining different materials and forming them afterwards to tailored hybrid high-performance components.

LZH/IW/IDS | How to join two materials and form them together in a second step? To meet this challenge, several methods are being investigated at the Collaborative Research Centre “Tailored Forming“. One promising approach is ultrasound-assisted laser welding.

IPH | Efficient forming of components without burr: The solution is cross wedge rolling. Hybrid billets require new investigations: Which are the optimum adjustments to be made for joint forming of cohesive bonds – for example between steel and aluminium?
