In this master's thesis the proposal of the production technology of component – solar collector anchor element from steel 1.0038 (11 375) quality, 5 mm thickness is solved. For the manufacturing of the assigned part the shearing and bending technology and a progressive forming tool including a suitable forming machine of 8,000 kN rated power is selected. The proposed method of production is laid down by a technical-economic evaluation with respect to the production series of 150,000 units per year. The solar collector anchor element serves to hold the frame for the solar vacuum tube collector. In the scope of this master's thesis, an assessment of the current production method, including the selection of a suitable semi-finished product for production, was also carried out and their optimization was proposed.

Working at elevated temperature has its challenges due to the high level of complexity whenthe tribosystems operate under harsh conditions, commonly resulting in an increase on thefriction and thermal softening that goes into severe adhesion, severe abrasion and materialtransfer. Despite considerable research, there is a lack of research on tribology applied to hightemperature processes.  The aim of this project is to understand the tribological behavior of tool steel sliding againstaluminum under lubrication conditions working at high temperature. Salt-based, graphite-based, and polymer-based lubricants were evaluated as they are commonly used for aluminum forming. The cleanability of the lubricants after being subjected to elevated temperatures is also studied. High temperature tribological tests were carried out in a reciprocating sliding flat-on-flat configuration for 15 seconds. Optical microscope, SEM and EDS were performed to analyze the specimens after the tribological tests. Then a cleanability study was done to evaluate the cleanability of the lubricants and the effect of temperature on the cleanability of the lubricant. The concentration of the lubricants played an important role in the lubricant’s friction stability and dispersion, particularly for the polymer-based and graphite-based lubricants. Under the tested conditions the salt-based lubricant was ineffective as it showed high and unstable friction. The 10 wt.% polymer-based lubricant concentration presented severe adhesion and material transfer from the aluminum onto the tool steel.  The effect of temperature on the cleanability of the lubricants was correlated to the temperature in which the lubricants start to degrade. Nevertheless, the best cleanability was achieved when using ethanol as a cleaning agent in combination with high pressure spraying, and wirebrush techniques. Mild and high alkaline agents had poor cleanability abilities resulting insurface damage and corrosion on the tool steel.

The project drawn up within engineering studies, field M-STG, presents a design for processing a single part – the part is made of sheet steel number S195T by shearing and bending. On the basis of literary study was design compound tool which is working in three steps. The tool is fixed in eccentric press LE 250 with nominal force 25000 kN. Blanking punch and blanking die are made from tool steel 1.2379 according the drawing documentation.

The project, which has been elaborated within the framework of Master's Degree in Manufacturing Technology (2303T002), processes a technology proposal for the production of stamped part čelo from DD14 material, with a thickness 4 mm, with production quantities of 100 000 pieces per year, in cooperation with the company UNIRON Ltd. Based on the literature study of deep drawing without thinning of the walls and calculations, production of the part of simple single-function drawing tools was proposed. The first three operations performed on a PYE 100 S/1 hydraulic press and the last calibration operation carried out on a LEK 250 eccentric press. The semi-finished product is blank with a diameter of 195 mm, produced in a simple cutting die. The cutting die is designed for both the material in the form of a sheet metal strip in coils and cut strips of metal sheet, which is associated with the use of two eccentric presses of the LEK 250 and LE 400C types. The proposed manufacturing process was simulated in the PAM-Stamp 2G software, in which the influence of the radius the functional parts of tools to change the thickness of the material is further simulated. The part of the project is a technical and economic evaluation, in which the price of one piece of the product and production quantity at which production becomes profitable was rated.

Aus der Einleitung: "Um Kosten in der Produktentwicklung weiter zu minimieren und gleichzeitig die Qualität der zu fertigenden Produkte zu gewährleisten, nehmen virtuelle Methoden in der Produktentwicklung einen immer größeren Stellenwert ein (Stelzer & Eigner, 2009). An die Maßhaltigkeit von umgeformten Blechteilen werden ständig höhere Anforderungen gestellt. Die Ursachen für Maßabweichungen an gefertigten Blechteilen resultieren maßgeblich aus den Berechnungsmodellen, die das System Werkzeug-Blechteil-Umformmaschine bisher in der Virtuellen Produktentwicklung noch nicht vollständig und exakt abbilden können. Mehrere Zyklen händischer Änderungen an den Umformwerkzeugen sind heute noch die Regel. Dieser Prozess wird bei der Blechumformung als Einarbeitungsphase bezeichnet und wird von Spezialisten des Werkzeugbaus unter Nutzung von unscharfem Erfahrungswissen durchgeführt. Der Zyklus der manuellen Einarbeitungsphase im Bereich des Werkzeugbaus steht den wirtschaftlichen Forderungen zum schnelleren Serienanlauf und zur Kostensenkung entgegen. Hier kann die Verkürzung des Einarbeitungsprozesses dienlich sein."

Bisherige Bemühungen zur Reduzierung der Rückfederung von Blechbauteilen begrenzten sich hauptsächlich auf die Gestaltung der letzten Formgebungsstufe. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein innovativer Ansatz zur Erhöhung der Maßhaltigkeit durch die Modifikation der Vorziehstufe untersucht. Dabei wird auf Grundlage eines beispielhaften Industriebauteils ein Demonstrator mit einer offenen und einer geschlossenen Kontur entwickelt. Durch die Abbildung der Herstellungsmethode in der Simulation (FEM) lässt sich die Rückfederung beurteilen. Durch die Charakterisierung des Werkstoffverhaltens wird die Qualität der Simulation gesteigert, da die Materialkennwerte (Fließkurve & Grenzformänderungskurve) für die Simulation genauer spezifiziert werden können. Es erfolgt die Variation der Vorziehstufe hinsichtlich geometrischer (Radius & Grad der Vorziehstufe) und prozesstechnischer Parameter (Niederhalterkraft & Schließabstand), sodass nach der Auswertung der Rückfederungsergebnisse Gestaltunghinweise erarbeitet werden. Die Validierung der Simulationsergebnisse wird vorgenommen, indem die Bauteile real hergestellt werden. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Rückfederungen der Simulation und der realen Herstellungsmethode zu vergleichen und die Gestaltungshinweise zu bewerten. / Approaches to reduce springback of sheet metal parts are mainly focused on the last forming stage. This study deals with modifications made on the pre-drawing stage so that an increased dimensional accuracy results. A demonstrator with an open and a closed contour is developed based on an exemplary industrial part. The assessment of springback is conducted by incorporating the manufacturing method into simulation (FEM). To increase the quality of the simulation the characterization of materials is set and hence more information about material properties (flow curve and forming limit curve) is specified. Variations of geometric (radius & proportion of pre-drawing stage) and process parameters (blankholder force & closing distance) are made which purpose the development of design guidelines after evaluation. The simulation results are validated by producing real sheet metal parts. The design guidelines will be feasible/can be assessed if the comparison of the springback results converges between simulation and reality.
