abstract = {{Produktfälschungen stellen die Industrie vor große Herausforderungen, da sie das Risiko eines Reputationsverlustes für die Produzenten bergen sowie im schlimmsten Fall die Sicherheit der Produktnutzer gefährden. Ein möglicher Ansatz, um Bauteilfälschungen z.B. in der Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie sowie im Automotive-Bereich künftig zu verhindern, besteht darin, einen unverwechselbaren, unumkehrbaren „Identifier“ in das Originalbauteil zu integrieren. Dies könnte beispielsweise ein unsichtbarer magnetischer Bar- oder QR-Code sein, der während der Fertigung direkt in das Bauteil integriert wird. Die gezielte Beeinflussung der magnetischen Eigenschaften während des Fertigungsprozesses von Bauteilen durch die Umformtechnik stellt nach aktuellem Stand der Technik eine anspruchsvolle Herausforderung dar. Ein vielversprechender Forschungsansatz zur Lösung dieses Problems ist das Konzept der sogenannten Eigenschaftsregelung. Bei diesem Konzept werden die Bauteileigenschaften mittels intelligenter Sensoren direkt während der Fertigung gemessen und durch die Maschinenaktorik in den Prozess zurückgekoppelt. Dies ermöglicht eine dynamische Anpassung der Fertigungsparameter, um die gewünschten Eigenschaften des Bauteils zu erreichen. Dieser Beitrag beleuchtet am Beispiel des Drückwalzprozesses für metastabil-austenitischer Edelstähle, wie mit einer solchen Eigenschaftsregelung definierte und gradierte Eigenschaftsstrukturen z.B. zur Verhinderung von Produktfälschungen hergestellt werden können. Eine Hauptherausforderung bei der Entwicklung der Eigenschaftsregelung für das Drückwalzen metastabil-austenitischer Edelstähle ist insbesondere die Online-Messbarkeit des Gefüges in-situ im Prozess. Hierzu ist innerhalb der Eigenschaftsregelung eine indirekte, zerstörungsfreie Messung mittels einer neuartigen, intelligenten Softsensorik unabdingbar. Diese Sensorik besitzt eine charakteristische Dynamik und Ortsauflösung, welche mittelbar die Auflösung der geregelt erzeugten Gradierungen beeinflusst, d.h. die Schärfe der Abgrenzung zwischen martensitischen und nicht-martensitischen Bereichen. Dieser Aspekt wird Rahmen des vorliegenden Beitrags im Rahmen einer Simulationsstudie näher beleuchtet und ein Quervergleich zwischen Sensordynamik, Regelungsbandbreite und resultierenden und der erreichbaren Gradierungsauflösung gezogen. Insbesondere der letzte Aspekt ist von hoher Relevanz für einen etwaigen zukünftigen Technologietransfer der smarten, funktionsintegrierten Strukturen von der Forschung in die industrielle Anwendung.}},

abstract = {{Flow forming of metastable austenites is an innovative, incremental metal forming process with special capabilities due to the TRIP effect. However, the TRIP effect during flow forming is significantly affected by disturbances and especially batch fluctuations leading to process uncertainty. This aspect is further analyzed and quantified in this paper to give insights on how to minimize the impact of uncertainty. For this purpose, semifinished parts and resulting flow forming workpieces are systemically characterized concerning their properties and the property uncertainty supported by mathematical methods like correlation analysis and error propagation. A result is that the most influencing impact factor on the strain induced α’-martensite volume fraction as a material property are batch fluctuations, specifically the variations of the chemical composition. Those especially appear from batch to batch, but also within a batch accompanied by e.g. temperature effects. To counter this challenge, different methods from control theory like closed-loop property control and adaptive control can be applied to flow forming. Thus, uncertainty will be reduced to increase process robustness and to enable industrial exploitation of the TRIP effect in flow forming of metastable austenitic steels.}},

abstract = {{A common challenge of punch-bending is the control and compensation of process deviations which are induced, e.g., by different material batches. The resulting deviations are currently countered iteratively using expert knowledge in the design phase as well as during the production process. However, this is not always successful due to the complex interactions between semi-finished product properties and forming tools. To automate the optimization of tool geometries and process adjustments, an accurate prediction model of correlations between process/tool parameters and product properties is necessary. In that regard, an application programming interface (API) aligned with the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) specification is developed utilizing a hybrid data-driven approach. It enables the transformation of various data formats e.g., from sensor and simulation data into a machine-readable structure. The API is linked to a digital twin and a database, to automatically gather requested information and provide the new structured data to a machine learning (ML) model. To validate the developed method, hybrid punch-bending data is automatically transferred to an ML model which then returns tool geometry suggestions for a defined product geometry.}},

abstract = {{Fuzzing is a powerful software testing technique renowned for its effectiveness in identifying software vulnerabilities. Traditional fuzzing evaluations typically focus on overall fuzzer performance across a set of target programs, yet few benchmarks consider how fine-grained program features influence fuzzing effectiveness. To bridge this gap, we introduce FeatureBench, a novel benchmark designed to generate programs with configurable, fine-grained program features to enhance fuzzing evaluations. We reviewed 25 recent grey-box fuzzing studies, extracting 7 program features related to control-flow and data-flow that can impact fuzzer performance. Using these features, we generated a benchmark consisting of 153 programs controlled by 10 fine-grained configurable parameters. We evaluated 11 fuzzers using this benchmark, with each fuzzer representing either distinct claimed improvements or serving as a widely used baseline in fuzzing evaluations. The results indicate that fuzzer performance varies significantly based on the program features and their strengths, highlighting the importance of incorporating program characteristics into fuzzing evaluations.}},

In order to optimize the punch-bending process with regard to the resulting component deviations and waste rate, this article presents the concept of a digital twin for an innovative hybrid model of a multi-stage punch-bending process. To ensure efficient development and implementation of the digital twin, the graphical modeling notation DSL4DPiFS is used for additional support.

abstract = {{Abstract. Flow forming is recognized for its precision in producing rotationally symmetric components, but the use of metastable austenitic stainless steel (AISI 304L) introduces challenges due to uncontrolled strain-induced α’ martensite formation. Variations in factors such as eccentricity and batch inconsistencies lead to unpredictable microstructural profiles, limiting reproducibility [1,2]. This study addresses these issues by incorporating thermal actuators for cryogenic cooling and induction heating to regulate forming temperatures, enabling control of the α’-martensite content. Experimental investigations demonstrate that local tempering during thermomechanical reverse flow forming produces discernible variations in microstructure, affecting mechanical and magnetic properties [3]. Controlled local adjustments of α’-martensite content allow for customization of properties in seamless tubes, advancing manufacturing capabilities for complex, defect-free components. The results presented demonstrate promising strategies for implementation within the context of closed-loop property control in flow forming.}},

abstract = {{Abstract
This paper presents a characterization of the microstructural evolution and its correlation with the magnetic structure due to flow forming of semi-finished tubes of austenitic stainless steel AISI 304L. The plastic deformation triggers a phase transformation of the metastable austenite into α’-martensite.
Depending on the combination of production parameters, different fractions of strain-induced α’-martensite were measured by means non-destructive micromagnetic techniques and correlated with the evolution of hardness and the microstructure using electron backscatter diffraction analyses. The magneto-optical Kerr effect analysis was used as a tool to perform a qualitative analysis of the evolution of the magnetic domain structure correlated with the formation of α’-martensite. An analysis of these data allowed to derive surface magnetization hysteresis loops that were compared with integral hysteresis loops of the specimens. It was proven by both methods that the formation of martensite increases the magnetic energy and the spontaneous magnetization of the specimens. The results of this investigation contribute to a better understanding of micromagnetic sensors to monitor and control the formation of α’-martensite in a flow forming. Furthermore, various techniques have demonstrated the evolution of the magnetic properties of the material, which can be applied in applications for invisible coding of workpieces.}},

abstract = {{Abstract. The incremental flow forming process features a large number of process parameter combinations that can be varied from pass to pass or during a pass. In the future however, a more efficient utilization of this large number of process parameter combinations and a compensation of process disturbances could be required. This is due to a rising demand for increasing the part complexity, e.g. by graded property structures or a more complex geometry. In this context, innovative approaches like closed-loop property control and optimal control are advantageous, but require fast process models of flow forming that are not state of the art. This paper thus proposes a new modelling approach of multi-pass flow forming especially taking the transfer behavior between process parameters and wall thickness evolution from pass to pass into focus. A hybrid modelling approach is developed that combines knowledge about the incremental process character with empirical data regression to a basic analytic relation. The basic relation is further extended by a multi-layer neural network to enhance the overall model accuracy. This hybrid modelling approach is finally validated using experimental data. Thus, it is shown that a suitable model structure was found in context of a future closed-loop control or optimal control for multi-pass flow forming.}},

Die Eigenschaftsregelung mit einer online-Messung der Bauteileigenschaften ist ein in der Umformtechnik viel diskutiertes, aber kaum validiertes Konzept, um den Automatisierungsgrad bei der Bauteilfertigung weiter zu erhöhen.

Der metastabile austenitische Edelstahl ändert hierbei während der Verformung seinen α′-Martensitgehalt und damit verbunden die magnetischen Eigenschaften. Deshalb soll über die Regelung das definierte Einstellen des α′-Martensitgehaltes möglich werden. Im Rahmen des vorliegenden Artikels wird gezeigt, wie mittels des modellbasierten Entwurfs die Eigenschaftsregelung ausgelegt und parametriert werden kann. Zudem beinhaltet der Artikel experimentelle Validierungsergebnisse der zuvor entworfenen Eigenschaftsregelung.}},
