Research interests:
Precision machining
- Process design for cutting and surface forming processes for the production of workpieces with high demands on precision and surface quality
- Machining of difficult-to-machine and special materials
- Research of finishing processes for machining with geometrically defined cutting edges
- Design and modification of cutting tools
- Systematic evaluation and optimization of geometrical as well as physical surface properties (surface microstructure, residual stresses, microhardness, ...)
Generation of functional surfaces
- Predefined microstructuring of functional surfaces by means of machining processes
- Superposition of additional movements (e.g. ultrasonic vibrations)
- Design and generation of tribologically effective surfaces and dynamically loaded surfaces
- Research work to increase the bond strength or layer adhesion
Micro-machining
- Technology development for micro-machining and glossy machining
- Production of high-precision microcomponents and functional elements with dimensions of less than 1 mm by micro-milling, -turning, -drilling and -grinding
- Micro-machining of high-strength or brittle materials
Energy-efficient process chains
- Development of models for an energy-efficient design of production processes and process chains
- Conceptual design and implementation of measuring systems for an integrated recording of the energy flow in cutting processes
- Enhancement of the energy efficiency in cutting by process optimization
