Metal Forming Laboratory


Location: EAS 103 B, Prof. Sven Esche

This Laboratory focuses on advancing the state of the art in computer modeling of thermo-mechanical processing of metals. The results of the computer simulations are verified using experimental techniques. The manufacturing processes investigated include forging, rolling, extrusion and stamping. Recent projects explored the microstructure changes in metals during the hot forging of aerospace components, whereby the resulting grain size is predicted as a function of the processing parameters using heuristic models and numerical approaches on multiple lengths scales.
