Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM

The aim of the Rapid-KI project is to develop control concepts to overcome the limitations of laser ablation processes for the local decoating of encapsulated or protective-coated electronic components.

As a versatile energy carrier, hydrogen will play a key role in the long-term success of the energy transition and in climate protection. With this in mind, Fraunhofer IFAM is developing innovative materials, manufacturing technologies, and technical components so that technical systems for the production, distribution, storage, and use of hydrogen can become more efficient, robust, safe, and economical.

IIn the Fraunhofer Attract project "ProLIBs: A Battery Cell ID Card", the service life of batteries for electric vehicles and other applications is predicted and improved. The new method for lifetime prediction is based on a combination of measurements of battery properties and models of battery cell behavior. 

In the project "UltraHybRo", the Fraunhofer IFAM is developing a joining process for the manufacture of squirrel cage rotors for induction machines together with the project partner mth Ultraschalltechnologie GmbH & Co. KG.
