14 JOINING AND COATING TECHNOLOGY Joining and coating technology ranks among the most important steps within a process chain in industry sectors and product lines, comprising in addition to material production also the cycle of fabrication, operation, repair as well as disposal or recycling of a product. The new division Joining and Coating Technology develops innovative procedures for materials that previously could not easily be processed. Particularly the automotive industry faces great challenges due to the increasing use of advanced high-strength and super high-strength steel variants and steel-aluminum joints. The types of steel most recently developed by suppliers have necessitated new research even in long-established processes such as resistance spot welding. Simulation of weld ing processes, distortions and residual stresses speeds up the introduction of cost-effective and energy-efficient processes in industry. An excellent addition to this research into welding thin sheets is arc welding, even at greater thicknesses. Application of novel high-performance arc welding processes makes joining of greater plate thicknesses, such as those encountered in shipbuilding or pipe construction, particularly attractive from an economic point-of-view. Our research and development topics: High-performance arc welding Resistance welding of super high-strength types of steel and dissimilar joints Process optimization by means of welding simulation Application of modern highpower joining processes, such as laser beam and hybrid welding» New materials require new approaches in join ing technology. We develop innovative processes for our partners which ensure the reliability of their processing chain and the joined components regardless of whether in automotive construction, plant construction or shipbuilding. We can even develop efficient processes for your pipeline!«prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Rethmeier 14

32 our Partners BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing Together with BAM s Division V.5»Safety of joined components«, we research the safety and reliability of joined components and systems during manufacturing and operation. Evaluation of the interaction between material, process and construction is a key part of our work here. The central issue is clarifying hot and cold cracking phenomenology. Apart from testing crack resistance, new high-performance join ing processes, such as laser beam and hybrid welding are qualified, new alloy concepts for welding filler materials are developed for high-quality joining of innovative materials. The safety and reliability of the joined components are not only assessed using laboratory specimens, but above all by performing component experiments and full-scale tests. We achieve this by adapting existing test procedures and extending new methods. The research is backed-up with the application and development of corresponding simulation techniques. 32

33 fraunhofer innovation clusters at IPK Quelle: Siemens AG Innovation clusters achieving success through cooperation The Fraunhofer innovation clusters are a tool for specifically fostering innovation by means of cooperation in the region. All relevant players in the private sector, science, government and society cooperate in geographic proximity to successfully act on the market and thus also promote and secure employment. Fraunhofer IPK heads two innovation clusters,»secure Identity Berlin- Brandenburg«and»Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul in Energy and Transportation«. Secure Identity Uniqueness und Authenticity in the Real and Digital World MRO Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul in Energy and Transportation The Fraunhofer innovation cluster»secure Identity Berlin- Brandenburg» was initiated November 6th, The project is a collaboration between five Fraunhofer institutes, five universities, 12 companies, as well as the Länder Berlin and Brandenburg along with individual institutions in other federal states. Goal of the joint research and development projects is to provide technologies, processes and products that enable the unambiguous verification of the identity of individuals, objects and intellectual property. Such identity security ensures that identity can be used in many different ways to simplify processes in commerce, administration and daily life. The applications range from the next generation of tamperproof personal documents, the security of electronic business processes, through to communication between machines and vehicles, and product and brand protection. ( The Fraunhofer Innovation Cluster»Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul in Energy and Transportation (MRO)«, begun in 2009, is working towards the development and long-term establishment of resource- and energy-efficient MRO processes and technologies in cities. MRO s importance for business and in the economy is increasing. A significant proportion of company returns are generated by after-sales services for products and goods with high investment costs and long durability. This is particularly true of the energy and transportation sectors, which have always had strong roots in the Berlin/Brandenburg region. Largely unforeseeable repairs become necessary in addition to regular and scheduled servic ing during a product s lifecycle. An overhaul is able to not only return a product to its original state, but even upgrade it to the latest technical and economic standards. ( 33

34 Daten und fakten Fraunhofer IPK in facts and figures Fraunhofer IPK has a staff of approximately 240. Together with the Institute for Machine Tools and Factory Management (IWF) at the Technische Universität Berlin, our offices, laboratories and experimental hall cover more than 7100 m². Fraunhofer IPK s overall budget in 2009 was million, 72 percent of which was self-financed. Of this, approximately 4 million was generated from industry contracts and 5.4 million from governmentfunded projects. 34
