Thin hard coatings are widely known as key elements in many industrial fields, from equipment for metal machining to dental implants and orthopedic prosthesis. When it comes to machining and cutting tools, thin hard coatings are crucial for decreasing the coefficient of friction (COF) and for protecting tools against oxidation. The aim of this work was to evaluate the tribological performance of two commercially available thin hard coatings deposited by physical vapor deposition (PVD) on a high speed tool steel (S600) under extreme working conditions. For this purpose, pin-on-disc wear tests were carried out either at room temperature (293 K) or at high temperature (873 K) against alumina (Al2O3) balls. Two thin hard nitrogen-rich coatings were considered: a multilayer AlTiCrN and a superlattice (nanolayered) CrN/NbN. The surface and microstructure characterization were performed by optical profilometry, field-emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEGSEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

The heat balance of a casting cycle can be ensured in short times by the annealing of the die-casting tool, by which the well-constructed and well-functioned cooling system can enhance productivity. Incorrect cooling, however, can lead to heat unbalance in the die casting tool, thus causing the destruction of casting quality, reduction of the lifetime of die casting tool and irreversible production-reduction. Beside the theoretical examination of construction and function of cooling system, the evaluation of the effectively removed heat quantities has great importance. The paper presents an analysis of the function of the cooling system of a scraggy thin casting of AlSi9Cu3 alloy, in case of different cooling parameters. Based on the measured results of the inlet and outlet temperatures and the volume flow of the cooling agents, the heat quantities belonging to the cooling circles are determined and an optimization of the cooling system is proposed. The findings of the analysis can be utilized for the construction and optimum operation of die-casting cooling systems.

Due to the growing demand for lightweight solutions in a wide range of industries, the selection and combination of various materials is becoming more and more important. As a result, the need for suitable joining technologies is increasing along with it. Within the DFG research group "Schwarz-Silber" ("black-silver"), Fraunhofer IFAM is investigating so-called transitional structures in cooperation with the University of Bremen. In this process, glass fiber structures are integrated into aluminum by a high pressure die casting process. These structures are used for the electrochemical insulation between aluminum and carbon fiber textiles, which are connected by textile processes in a subsequent production step. A solid hybrid structure is finally achieved through a resin-impregnation process. The key challenges are the positioning, pre-tensioning and infiltration of the glass fiber structures within the high pressure die casting process. In order to meet these challenges, a customized die casting tool was developed within the project. With the aid of mold-filling simulations, the die system of the die casting tool was optimized to achieve better infiltration of the fiber bundles and to additionally support the position of the glass fibers in the casting process. After the design of the molding tool, the implementation was carried out in collaboration with a toolmaker. In subsequent, up-to-date investigations, the positioning and infiltration of different variants of glass fiber structures is evaluated. The results are compared with previous attempts to position and infiltrate the glass fiber structures to assess the effect of the optimized newly designed tool.
