Integration of effective heat treatment strategies into the production process of high-strength aluminum screws (T07#)

该项目将重点关注“沉淀工程”的整合，包括在固溶退火条件下成型和随后的时效处理，以及铝螺钉的生产过程。它旨在开发一种新的加工策略，该策略能够利用沉淀工程可以实现的缩短的老化时间和增加的材料强度。将与EJOT GmbH & Co. KG合作，从单个加工步骤的简化实验开始，并导致工艺链上的复杂变化，研究瞬时和反向变形对沉淀动力学的影响。

This project will focus on the integration of “precipitation engineering”, which includes forming in the solution annealed condition and a subsequent aging treatment, into the production process of aluminium screws. It aims on the development of a new processing strategy, which enables to make use of the shortened aging time and increased strength of the material, which can be achieved by precipitation engineering. The effect of an inhomogeneus and reversed deformation on the precipitation kinetics will be investigated in cooperation with the EJOT GmbH & Co. KG, starting with simplified experiments on single processing steps and leading to complex variations on the process chain.
