Multifunctional High-Performance Components made of hybrid porous materials


The objective of TRR 375 is to establish a new class of components: multifunctional high-performance components. These consist of hybrid porous (HyPo for short) materials, which are characterized by a combination of different metallic materials and an intentionally cellular material structure.

Components made from HyPo-materials have a locally varying density, for example in the form of graded porosity, and mechanical and thermal properties that are specifically tailored to the application. They should also fulfill additional functions, including sensors integrated into the components. The sensors can, for example, be used for permanent self-monitoring. Thus, a complete load history of the component up to its impending failure can be recorded, its lifetime can be determined and thus fully exploited.

The focus of the Collaborative Research Centre is on developing methods for the calculation, design, construction, manufacture and characterization of components made of HyPo-materials. In order to answer the underlying questions, the Collaborative Research Centre pursues an interdisciplinary approach. In TRR 375, researchers from the disciplines of production engineering, materials engineering, metrology, mechanics, design and computer science work together to understand the material design, development and production of multifunctional high-performance components.

8. Scientific colloquium

Professor Julia Hufenbach gave a presentation on the design of new high-carbon steels for additive manufacturing at our 8th Scientific Colloquium. She described an experimental method for designing such new materials. She showed the challenges and individual development steps up to a new high-carbon steel and demonstrated the high potential of the newly developed tool steel by means of an extensive characterization.
