Development of a sintering process: a practical application
2025-03-19 13:30 - 14:30 | Online
Development of a sintering process for power modules using the PERFORM method: A practical application case
The PERFORM method is a structured approach that bundles the entire development and optimization process of production systems into seven clearly defined steps. It helps engineers to systematically integrate customer requirements, design decisions and process analyses, minimize risks and sustainably increase efficiency and quality through targeted pilot tests and optimizations.
For electromobility and the necessary drive converters, power modules are sintered onto heat sinks over a large area. The PERFORM method was used to develop the sintering process and optimize the inverter.

P (plan)
E (Engineer)
R (Recognize)
F (Formulate
O (Operate)
R (Review)
M (Maximize)

The project and the procedure will be presented and discussed in the online lecture.
Speaker: Dr.-Ing. Aaron Hutzler, Bondpulse GmbH
