Hot stamping allows producing complex geometries from high performing materials. The use of this technique is increasing among automotive manufacturers because of the possibility to reduce weight without compromising with performance.The aim of this study is to tailor the press hardening technique to fit the materials and demands of the turbofan engine, hoping to reduce weight, waste, machining an ...

Improving tool behaviour can optimise forming processes undergoing severe thermomechanical solicitations which are used to obtain high performance components. FGM are particularly appropriate for developing high performance tools since they allow this optimization through a graded variation of their properties. This project aims to develop a new generation of FGM with: •Functionally graded thermal ...
