The development of modern Materials and processes for industrial applications are decisively characterized by energy saving, lightweight construction, environmental protection and sustainability. Material developers and researchers work on the performance and cost efficiency of new materials. And so materials science and materials science are subject to constant change and new alloys of steel or innovative filaments for 3D printing are being created, for example. Of course, all these materials also have to be processed. In addition, we examine manufacturing processes, the processing of raw materials and technologies for shaping, etc.
The following materials and processes are for specific industries like that Automotive industry, Renewable energies, Technical Building Services, Medical Technology, Microsystems Technology been developed. You will also find new materials here, which Applied research has developed.
The engineering of the modern material goes hand in hand with an efficient process that can process it. That happens especially in Machinery and plant engineering to carry. We report below on both sides: Innovations of new materials and new processes for their processing:
At the TUM the processing of new materials with existing production methods in bending technology has been taken on. Using the practical example of a free-form bending machine from J. New plays the IoT CNC control module DAU from Mitsubishi Electric an essential role. At the Chair of Forming Technology and Casting of Prof. Dr.-Ing Wolfram Volk, research is currently being carried out on projects that could bring decisive further developments for bending technology.
When it comes to wear-resistant tribo-polymers, users have Igus the agony of choice. The plastics specialist now has one for small series or series production in injection molding, a prototype from the 3D printer or semi-finished products Offline configurator Developed for its 39 Iglidur standard materials: The user can determine the appropriate material using templates. An Iglidur expert system is also available for the selection and calculation of the service life.
Ceramic Polymer has launched a new, solvent-free interior tank coating with extremely high protective functions. Thanks to the special physical properties of this new development, stainless steel is reliably protected against severe corrosion damage. The new development is absolutely resistant to a large number of chemicals and gases up to a permanent operating temperature of 150 ° C.
Wherever drives are installed and technical components are in motion, designers have to vibration build into your construction. Helmut Rübsamen produces high-precision mountings and bearing shells for well-known manufacturers in the industry Rubber metal buffer. They are used in mechanical engineering, Automotive industry, Rail technology, shipbuilding and energy technology.
hailtec has a Breakthrough in microstructuring achieved. We managed to get one in Plastic sprayed QR code that is scannable. The process for processing was made possible with a Ultrashort pulse laser with femto laser beams. As a client, Keppler Feinmechanik shows the application using the example of a coin chip.
Walter Stauffenberg has developed the material PP-AC for clamp bodies, which considerably delays the formation of crevice corrosion. Pipelines in harsh environments such as on offshore systems are particularly at risk from crevice corrosion. Aggressive salt water penetrates the gap between the pipe and the clamp body and leads to corrosion within this gap.
The rotary hammer from Dewalt has a plastic housing which, as a combination component, encloses the electric motor and gearbox at the same time. The engineering plastic "Ultradur" B4300 G6 from BASF is used. The demanding component inside the drilling tool replaces two separate housings, one of which - the gearbox housing - was previously made of die-cast magnesium. The plastic housing now encloses the electric motor and the gearbox with chain drive:
Wherever countless pallets, packages or plastic containers have to be transported through the warehouses at high speed over long distances, plastic slide rails are suitable for guiding the roller chains. To transport particularly heavy weights, Faigle now presents new special materials that can withstand even if the previously used UHMW polyethylene fails.
Sliding elements made of tribopolymers with integrated solid lubricants from Faigle score with low friction and high wear resistance. They can run dry and have good emergency running properties. In addition, they are light in weight, have good corrosion resistance and resistance to chemicals. They run quietly and are not very sensitive to impacts. There are a number of such sliding materials:
With "Raku Tool" the Rampf Group offers model and mold making materials and complete solutions based on them for carbon fiber and glass fiber composite materials. The company covers the demand with three competence centers worldwide.
Components that are to be coated in the KTL process are generally hung or plugged into special devices before they are immersed in the various baths. In addition to constructive measures in the design of the workpieces, the construction of these product carriers also contributes to a good coating result. That is why Ebbinghaus Styria Coating pays particular attention to the design and manufacture of these product carriers.
Minitec manufactures Precision shafts now also in series. The provider of a modular system with aluminum profiles and Linear Technology offers cutting, axial and radial processing as well as milling. To this end, the company has equipped itself with the latest technology at its Waldmohr site in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Whether the automotive, energy, automation or household industries: they are all heavily dependent on advances in the storage and transport of electrical energy. As a result, electro casting resins are a key technology driver in these and other industries. Rampf Polymer Solutions presents high-performance silicone, polyurethane and epoxy casting resins with maximum thermal conductivity.
Rampf Tooling Solutions presents the new epoxy block material “Raku Tool WB-0890”, specially developed for the composite industry. The semi-finished product has an extremely fine surface structure, which significantly reduces both the finishing effort and the sealant consumption.
