Current research activities at the Institute for Metal Forming
Technology (IFU) of the University of Stuttgart are focusing on
processing high-melting metal materials in the semi-solid state.
This forming process is performed in the range between solidus
and liquidus line and uses therefore the low materials viscosity
in its semi-solid state for realizing complex part geometries.
The research work deals with alloy systems based on titanium or
cobalt which are widely used in both medical and aerospace
technology. In particular, the titanium alloy Ti6Al4 V,
possessing high strength, low density and excellent corrosion
resistance exactly matches today's lightweight aspirations, and
therefore will be of greater importance in the future
applications. Due to this favorable combination of properties
this alloy nowadays is widely used in technical specialty areas
despite its high price. Therefore, many mechanically and
thermally highly stressed lightweight components such as turbine
blades are designed and manufactured out of this particular
titanium alloy. Conventional processes used for such material
systems like casting or forging methods usually consume a lot of
energy when heating the billet and require increased materials
usage, which results in high production-costs. In this context
the processing of such materials in the semi-solid state has a
great potential in terms of producing complex net-shape or
near-net-shape components with good mechanical properties.
