Abstract

The scientific objective is the analysis of a process combination for the manufacturing of toothed, thin-walled functional elements from process-optimized semi-finished products. By using an upsetting, orbital forming as well as a modified flexible rolling process, tailored blanks with flow-optimized properties are manufactured. In this context, a defined material flow control plays a decisive role for the forming of different geometries. In order to pursue a holistic approach, the process limits as well as the potential of the individual processes are identified. With the application of such blanks, geometrically complex components with functional elements such as gears or carriers are formed in a new combined deep-drawing and upsetting process. The aim is to reduce the number of steps in the process chain and thus save energy and resources. Thereby, different levels of functional integration are taken into account with regard to the geometry and arrangement of the functional elements, but also combinations of both.
