Abstract
After a brief presentation of the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technologies - IWU an introduction to high-speed forming in general and electromagnetic forming in particular is given. This includes especially a discussion of the most important process applications joining, shaping, and cutting. Furthermore the activities of the Fraunhofer IWU in the field of electromagnetic forming are decribed focussing on the core competences of the institute and presenting an exemplary research project related to form-fit joining of a steel tube to a steel shaft. In concluding remarks the process advantages and limits are listed and recommendations for practice are given.
