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.
With the development of a new 3D laser center, Kiesling Maschinentechnik is expanding the range of services of its "Perforex"switch cabinetmachining centers clearly. In addition to flat parts, control and switchgear manufacturers can also process complete housings and control cabinets quickly and precisely using laser cutting. The new development is very well suited for use with stainless steel, but also with sheet steel and powder-coated sheets. Rittal
The BASF presents a new one Engineering plasticwho is particularly good Automotive components protects against contact with hot oil. The polyethersulfone (PESU) Ultrasound E0510 C2TR offers very good tribological properties, dimensional stability even under large temperature fluctuations as well high resistance to oil.
So that the user can use even more tribologically optimized special solutions, Igus now has five wear and abrasion-resistant high-performance plastics in its range as semi-finished panel strips. These allow the designer new geometric design freedom.
Mold making Thorsten Michael has developed a process with which Surfaces made of lightweight Arpro Laser foam let it be designed in any way you like during foaming and injection up to a depth of 1,5 mm. This is made possible by the Lasertec Shape technology for laser cutting of foams, with which structures can be reproduced precisely in geometrically precisely defined 3D areas. Additional coatings or cladding can now also be superfluous.
Copper is an efficient material when construction planners are looking for a sustainable material. Important changes in European environmental certification are now recognized according to German copper institute the contribution that copper can make to the circular economy. The changes to the published in October 2019 Standard EN 15804 contain core rules for product categories (PCR) for type III environmental declarations for every construction product and construction work.
The GSO Surface Technology uses over 1000 different paints every year to coat components for a wide variety of industries. The trend is towards more individual products with smaller batches and frequent color changes. Automation and the early one Coating thickness measurement with the non-contact testing system Paintchecker mobile from optisense play a key role in maintaining the quality level and increasing productivity.
The thermoplastic Polyimide Aurum is a highly heat-resistant super-engineering Plastic with high production efficiency in injection molding. The thermal plastic challenges the conventional wisdom that polyimide performs very well but is difficult to process. As a distributor for PI Meldin from Saint-Gobain, Bieglo presents the PI portfolio, which is also suitable for the 3D pressure suitable.
With the highly abrasion-resistant block material "Raku Tool WB-1258" Rampf In numerous foundry model applications, an unbeatable alternative to mold plates and high-priced metals. Thanks to the extremely high abrasion resistance, the polyurethane plate can achieve far more than 100.000 impressions.
Honeywell and SLM Solutions present a great success as part of their development partnership for the qualification of aluminum components with higher layer thicknesses. Newly developed parameter sets for the aluminum alloy F357 lead to significantly improved Materialproperties compared to the die-cast component.
Nanoscribe developed and distributed 3D printer and grayscale microfabrication lithography systems, including the Quantum X shape. The laser lithography system is based on the Two Photon Polymerization and combines proprietary printing technologies. Below we present new developments and applications of 3D micro printers.
Because the expected demand quantities are falling in most industries, KVH Hartung presents plastic vacuum deep-drawn parts produced using the negative process as a real alternative to injection molding. The result is housings that cannot be distinguished from the injection molded part when closed.
Dreckshage now offers stainless steel 1.4404 as a bearing material. Due to the progress in the production of stainless steels, especially the reduction of the carbon content to very low values, 1.4404 has replaced almost all titanium-stabilized grades of type 1.4571.
