Zusammenfassung

The development of components with tailored properties is one of the ways to increase efficiency in areas such as the automotive sector. Hybrid components, in particular plastic-metal composites, meet this requirement by combining different material properties. In this context, this paper presents preliminary investigations regarding the use of fibre-reinforced plastics as an active medium for forming metallic materials. Several challenges arise for such a processing method, such as, the compressive strength of the plastics depending on the fibre fraction, -length and -orientation. Furthermore, the dissimilar elastic behavior of the two materials has a decisive influence on the composite- and bond strength. Therefore, in a first step, a material selection was performed, followed by material characterization. In addition, this paper presents a preliminary numerical analysis showing the feasibility of manufacturing a hybrid component using as example a spur gear with a polymer core made of glass fibre reinforced polypropylene and an outer geometry made of aluminum alloy AA6082.
