 Abstract:
In recent years, the demands on lightweight constructions with respect to their functional abilities and their potential to save recourses by reducing the weight have increased significantly. Tailor-made components with functionally graded thermo-mechanical properties manufactured by novel friction-spinning forming technique are a new approach to meet these demands. This forming technique combines process elements of the spinning and the friction welding and allows to extend the forming limits of the workpiece material in order to produce multifunctional components with locally varying properties. However, during the friction-spinning process, strong mechanical forces, high temperatures and intensive friction impose high tribological demands on the tools and finally lead to an increase of wear. In this study, surface engineering techniques such as Thermal Spraying and PVD have been utilized to apply coatings on tools for the friction-spinning with the aim to reduce wear and to optimize the forming process. For this purpose, thermally sprayed carbide based and ceramic coatings have been investigated. In addition the thermally sprayed coatings have been combined with a wear resistant PVD top layer to use the advantages of both coating techniques. Examinations regarding the wear behavior of the coatings and their influence on the friction-spinning process have been made.
