Project Description
The generation of well-defined geometrical properties in machining processes is state of the art in industry. This is not true for
chemical and physical material properties of the workpiece surface layer - neither in industry nor in research. However, these
properties are of main importance regarding the functional performance of the part. The reason is that even today a
fundamental understanding of the basic mechanisms leading to material alterations in machining processes is still missing. The
Transregional Collaborative Research Centre is aiming exactly at this knowledge gap.
All machining processes generate specific internal material loading states, e.g., the time-dependent stress-strain state,
temperature field and spatially varying chemical potential. In order to reduce the complexity of the problem it is sought to
characterise the fields by energetic parameters and their gradients. This working hypothesis is based on the fact that all
machining processes are energy transformation processes.
The work within the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre focusses on identifying the quantitative dependence of state
variable changes (material modifications) on the internal material loading state of the workpiece during the manufacturing
processes. Moreover, material modifications caused by subsequent processes will be analysed in order to take into account the
influence of the input state of the material on the resulting material modifications. By means of process signatures it will be
possible to describe manufacturing processes in a unified way for the first time.
The long-term objective of the research work is to solve the so-called inverse problem of manufacturing technology: Based on
previously defined chemical and physical material properties of the workpiece surface layer, it will be possible to scientifically
select the necessary manufacturing processes, the corresponding parameters and the subsequent application of machining
processes on the basis of process signatures.
