Symposium at the MSE 2024

Prof. Thomas Lampke and Prof. Martin Wagner are organising a symposium on the key research areas of FOR FUNDAM³ENT at MSE 2024, which takes place from 24-26 September in Darmstadt. Those involved in the research group will present their current research findings and look forward to discussions and talks with international experts. Interested scientists are cordially invited to submit their contributions for the symposium.

Brief description of the main topics of our symposium, labelled S09 under the topic "Structural Materials":

Adiabatic shear band formation for functional surfaces - materials science, processing and modelling perspectives

The formation of adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) is a thermo-mechanical process that typically takes place at high strain rates: the energy dissipated by plastic deformation leads to an increase of temperature, which results in thermal softening and ultimately leads to localisation of further deformation in an increasingly narrowed shear zone. Recent advances both in the fields of materials science and process engineering have shown that the formation of ASBs allows to generate surfaces with excellent geometrical and functional properties, for example during high-speed blanking. This has raised interest in more detailed investigations of the underlying mechanisms. _

Topics of interest specifically include:

• the effect of microstructure on ASB formation
• microstructural evolution and damage accumulation in ASBs _
• the effect of ASB formation on the properties of the newly cut surfaces
• thermo-mechanical modelling of material behaviour at high strain rates, including numerical simulations of microstructural evolution and phase transformations _
• The relation between high-speed blanking process parameters and ASB formation _
• he purpose of this symposium is to bring together scientists from the new Research Unit FOR 5380, which focuses on ASB formation during high-speed blanking, with the wider research community studying high-strain rate processes and ASB formation.

The deadline for abstract submission is 16 February 2024.
