      abstract     = {Today, sustainability and the reduction of emissions are of
                      the utmost priority. the principle of lightweight
                      construction proves to be crucial for industrial
                      manufacturing, especially in the production of metallic
                      components. This work examines the role of ductile damage in
                      forming processes, an aspect that has often been overlooked
                      in the past but offers great potential for improving the
                      performance and durability of components. Particular
                      attention is paid to caliber rolling, a hot forming process
                      for producing long products, which, despite its flexibility
                      and potential for damage control, has so far received little
                      attention in this regard. The central question of this work
                      is how the development of damage can be influenced through
                      targeted process design in caliber rolling, thereby
                      producing components with optimized mechanical properties.
                      Utilizing Finite-Element Analysis, a method was developed
                      with the goal of consciously influencing the development of
                      damage by adjusting the process parameters. Specifically,
                      the steel type 16MnCrS5 and a caliber sequence of
                      round-oval-round with defined starting and ending diameters
                      were chosen. The starting point of the investigation was a
                      practice-oriented reference calibration with four rolling
                      passes. For a targeted influence on the evolution of
                      micro-damages, it was first necessary to understand how the
                      load path (stress triaxiality and Lode parameter) can be
                      modified by adjusting the process parameters. A detailed
                      parameter study identified the axis ratio of the oval
                      caliber and the area reduction as key factors in controlling
                      the load path. An additional numerical investigation
                      determined the possibilities for varying these parameters
                      without negatively impacting the caliber filling. This
                      procedure ensures that only calibers that do not exhibit
                      filling errors are selected for the design of new processes.
                      Another important step for the controlled process design was
                      the establishment of a reliable method for predicting damage
                      evolution. Through the comparison and evaluation of existing
                      damage models, a modified GTN model accounting for dynamic
                      recrystallization was selected. This model, developed
                      specifically for hot forming, enabled a qualitative
                      prediction of damage development along the selected caliber
                      sequence. The distribution and reduction of damage at the
                      end of the process compared to the start of the process in
                      the reference calibration could be qualitatively predicted
                      with this model. Based on the findings regarding the
                      variation of the load path and damage prediction, two
                      additional processes with the round-oval-round caliber
                      sequence were developed. For each, a load path was chosen
                      that was considered critical for one and advantageous for
                      the other in terms of damage. The validated damage model
                      confirmed the expected variations in damage distribution for
                      these new processes. However, despite significant variation
                      of the load path in all processes, the damage prediction
                      showed only moderate damages at the end of the process. An
                      extended process design using a different caliber sequence
                      revealed that damages induced by factors such as intense
                      edge cooling could be significantly reduced in the further
                      forming process. These results suggested that besides the
                      load path, there are other significant factors affecting
                      damage development in caliber rolling. The subsequent model
                      experiments with the torsion plastometer suggested that
                      thermally activated processes, such as recrystallization,
                      can significantly influence the microstructure during hot
                      forming, depending on the load path. These processes have
                      the potential to overcome the impact of damage on the
                      component's performance. Based on these insights, it can be
                      concluded that an increase in component performance cannot
                      be achieved solely by adjusting the load path in hot
                      forming. Two additional factors have been identified for
                      future advancements in damage control during caliber
                      rolling: the consideration of microstructure development in
                      hot forming and the detailed examination of damage
                      mechanisms influenced by thermal processes such as
                      recrystallization. Developing specific damage models for hot
                      forming and selecting process-optimizing parameters to
                      achieve a damage-resistant microstructure are essential.
                      These approaches allow for comprehensive utilization of the
                      lightweight construction potential through an optimized
                      forming process design.},
