Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Kurt Steinhoff Lehrstuhl für Umformtechnik, Kassel und Metakus GmbH, Kassel The Chair of Metal Forming Technology of the University of Kassel is engaged in the scientific exploration of thermo-mechanical manufacturing systems for the production of functionally graded metallic components with integrated additional features. In this context components of large-scale production and corresponding technologies prevail. The underlying design approaches are basically derived from the intrinsic response of the considered materials to temporally and locally variable thermo-mechanical load. Figure 1 shows the outline of the main research activities. » Back to Who is Who
