At the the Institute of Forming Technology and Machines in Hanover, Simon Peddinghaus works as a Research Assistant in the Department of Material Characterization and Simulation. During their recent projects, they developed an advanced friction model that, thanks to close collaboration between Transvalor and the University, has now been successfully integrated into FORGE® NxT 4.0. Simon also presents how FORGE® has supported the research and shares insights into the next steps in his work. These include researchs into oxide scale formation and damage behaviors, the role of alloying elements, distortion phenomena in large-scale components during and after forming, and wear behavior in tailored forming processes.
Discover in this interview, how FORGE® played a major role in this project and what are the upcoming projects.
