Dimensional and shape change in production

Dimensional and shape changes - also known as distortion - that occur during the production of metallic components cause high additional costs, as they lead to rework or even scrap. The work of the Collaborative Research Center "Distortion Engineering" has clearly shown that the causes of distortion can be present throughout the entire manufacturing chain. Nevertheless, dimensional and shape changes are a daily annoyance in every hardening shop, because dissatisfied customers assume that the delivered component was perfectly manufactured and that the hardening shop is solely responsible for the distortion.

The seminar should help to better assess the risk of delay when accepting an order or during process planning against the background of the component's history and its design. Furthermore, measures for controlling distortion in production will be taught. To this end, the seminar is divided into four blocks. First, the basics of warpage formation will be discussed. In the 2nd and 3rd blocks, examples of distortion potentials in production chains for through hardening (ring-shaped components) and case hardening are presented. In the last part, system concepts for low-distortion case hardening will be presented. The AWT seminar is aimed at heat treaters and materials engineers as well as designers, formers and machinists. Participation will be confirmed by a certificate. The date of the seminar is still to be determined. It is possible to make a non-binding reservation using the form.
