Successful dissertation presentation by Philipp Müller

On 9 December 2024, Philipp Müller presented the results of his research work as part of his dissertation lecture entitled:

“Process-integrated lubrication in sheet metal forming“

In his work, Philipp Müller focused on the integration of lubrication directly into the sheet metal forming process, which was realised through the use of additively manufactured tools with integrated lubrication channels. With the help of this technology, he was able to sustainably improve tribological conditions - the interaction of friction, wear and lubrication - and significantly reduce wear.

The dissertation is based on the successful EFB project “Prozessintegrierte Schmierung im Folgezug“, for which Philipp Müller was awarded the EFB Project Prize 2024. This award emphasises the high industrial relevance of his work and the practical applications of his findings.

The IFUM and his colleagues would like to congratulate Mr Müller on his successful doctorate. We wish him continued success for his professional and personal future.
