The production of metallic parts for capital and consumer goods is dominated by metal forming and metal cutting. Processes of both groups are based on plastic deformation of the work piece material. This common feature is the bracket for the presentations expected at the ICNFT, which therefore includes also joining by forming like friction stir welding (FSW) or clinching.
It is a precondition for the development of new technologies to understand the meaning of the elementary plastic processes. This is also of huge interest, if processing windows have to be expanded to more complex, more precise or smaller geometries, as it is done in micro and precision manufacturing. The aim of the ICNFT is to exchange results from recent research and development in this area. Therefore, questions like size effects (which occur, when the work piece size is scaled down), questions of process stability (which is important for industrial application), material behaviour (this includes complex material behaviour during hot pressing of sheet metal, but also tribological aspects in cold sheet and bulk forming), development of new processes and application studies for new products should be discussed.
Contributions from basic research to application studies from the following topics are welcome:
- Precision technologies (forming, cutting)
- Micro forming and micro cutting
- Joining by forming (including FSW)
- Size effects
- Hot sheet metal forming
- Hydro-forming
- Tribology
- Incremental and multi-point forming
- Laser forming and bending
- Forming and cutting of special materials (e.g. Mg alloys)
Authors wishing to submit papers are kindly asked to send an abstract to icnft@bias.de using the template on www.bias.de/icnft no later than March 15, 2007.
