The future of production technology
- Research
IFW | Where steel is too heavy and aluminium too soft, the future is a combination of both materials. The lifespan of hybrids depends on the residual stresses induced by the final machining process. The goal of IFW scientists is to control these residual stresses.

IFUM | Away from mono-material workpieces – towards load-adapted hybrid components: IFUM scientists are using numerical simulation methods to predict the maximum interphase load-bearing capacity and time to failure in tailored hybrid components.
