| Abstract Scope |
Cutting blades for various food processing applications are primarily manufactured using standardized grinding processes at present. This results, on the one hand, in time-consuming and hence expensive production and, on the other hand, means that the surface roughness is not optimized in a microbiological manner, leading to high healthcare costs for foodborne infection. The strength of the cutting blades is additionally less-than-ideal, which causes a high expenditure on wear.
Current research work at the Department for Metal Forming Technologies (LUF) is focused on innovative spin forming processes which have high potential for manufacturing parts with an excellent surface roughness in short process times. Along with the process-integrated thermal treatment, this is fundamental for the research and development of improved manufacturing technologies for high-performance cutting blades. This paper looks into innovative process strategies for manufacturing parts with locally graded characteristics, improved surface roughness characteristics and greater strength of the cutting edge. |
