Thermomechanisches Werkstoffverhalten in der additiven und schweißtechnischen Fertigung

What it is about

You study the thermomechanical behavior of metallic materials under process-related temperature cycles, as they occur in welding and in additive manufacturing. To do this, you carry out experiments on a thermo-physical simulator (Gleeble), supplemented by mechanical tests and metallographic analyses. In the end you will be able to assess the effects of different temperature courses and to evaluate experimental results in a documented manner.

What you will be able to do

• Knowledge of material behavior at temperatures in additive and welding manufacturing
• Familiarity with experimental methods for characterizing thermomechanical effects
• Systematic execution of experiments on the thermo-simulator and mechanical tests
• Evaluation, documentation and critical discussion of experimental results
• Assessment of the behavior of different metallic materials on the basis of your own data

What the module consists of

• PraktikumConducting five experiments on the welding and forming simulator and subsequent tests; basis of the assessment
• LaborversuchsvorbereitungQualitative verification of preparation before each experiment; prerequisite for practical execution
• BerichtSummary, linking discussion and interpretation of all experimental results; forms the module grade

Teaching method

• Selbststudium der Praktikumsunterlagen und LiteraturExpansion of theoretical knowledge on experimental content
• Angeleitete Versuchsdurchführung im LaborApplication and deepening of theoretical knowledge through practical experience
• BerichterstellungLearning scientific documentation and critical engagement with the results
