Integrated Computational Materials, Process and Product Engineering – IC-MPPE 2022

Every industry is driven by cost-efficiency. Although securing quality and safety marks the top priority in the aerospace industry the pressure for a cost-efficient supply chain grown steadily, especially for high cost components like titanium forgings. One significant impact on the costs of aerospace components is the material-efficiency, represented by the buy-to-fly ratio. Every saved...

Low carbon lath martensitic steels such as PH15-5 are often used in high-performance applications e.g. structural components of aircrafts. Since the development and improvement of closed die forging routes for such parts is often time-consuming and expensive, especially for microstructurally complex materials such as PH15-5, a spatially resolved prediction of their mechanical properties as a...

Forged Aluminum alloys have outstanding properties in light weight construction for highly loaded parts. Hence, these alloys are widely used as forgings for automotive chassis applications in millions of cars. In distinction to other manufacturers Krenhof GmbH operates in a niche market for so called “high performance cars” and “hypercars” as well as for racing applications. In this market the...

Modern bainitic steel is one very promising steel concept contributing to actual, international sustainability development goals reducing carbon emissions during production but also during application, as they combine low material costs (i.e. low alloying element content) and comparatively efficient production processes with enhanced mechanical properties such as strength and ductility in the...
