Abstract

The present paper approaches possible advantages of hybrid constructions compared to monolithic design. Hybrid constructions represent multi-material composites where each of the materials employed are optimally utilized. Therefore, materials consumption decreases which leads to material, energy and cost efficiency and finally contributes to sustainability.The investigations targets on a possible substitution of a heavy iron casted pump housing by a metal-polymer hybrid light weight construction and on the achievable total mass reduction. Multi-material composites are prerequisite for lightweight design and promise a huge mass reduction potential.
