Research Project
Structured sheet metals due to improved material properties
Research Areas
l
Principles of thermal and mechanical cutting
are an innovative technology in the region of Berlin and
Brandenburg.
l
Forming of inner zones: conventional deep-drawing with or without elastomer active parts as well as
two-dimensional bending
Multi-dimensional structuring improves the essential
properties of the initial material, e.g. its stiffness. For this
l
Edge Processing: folding, lock seaming and flattening by structure adjusted methods
l
Complete component forming in a test unit where inner zones forming and edge machining are
reason structured sheet metals offer a great potential for light
weight constructions in various industries such as aerospace,
performed at one station
automobile, railway, etc.
l
Economic processing chain of 3D-components
l
Qualification and development of thermal and non-thermal joining technologies: welding, brazing,
clinching, rivetting and bonding
InnoStructure is a

l
A group of junior scientists in collaboration with national and
regional business companies should extend the existing
fundamental processing technologies to a platform for
development of high-quality light weight components.
