Production Technology 1

The course provides an overview of industrially relevant production technologies. The lecture, with its associated production technology 2, will be held by the five chairs LFT, LKT, FAPS, REP and the LPT. This enables the widest possible insight into the various production technologies.

Based on DIN 8580, the lecture Production Technology 1 will cover the current technologies and the machines used in the fields of prototyping, forming, separating, joining, coating and changing the material properties. Therefore, both the process chains and the specific characteristics of the production techniques are shown and explained on the basis of practice-relevant components. For a better understanding of the methods, metallurgical principles, such as the microstructure of metallic materials and their plastic behavior, will be explained. Subsequently, the primary molding processes casting and powder metallurgy are presented. In the course of the lecture, various beam-based manufacturing processes from six areas will be presented. The focus here is on laser-based manufacturing processes, such as welding, cutting or additive manufacturing. An additionally offered exercise serves the deepening and the application of the lecture contents.
