TY - GEN A1 - Kazak, Fedor A1 - Weiß, Sabine T1 - Test procedure for fatigue investigations regarding structured sheet metal joints T2 - Materials Testing N2 - The topic of fatigue strength of joints of flat and honeycomb-structured thin sheets has not yet been adequately studied. This concerns, for example,the development of an appropriate test method. In many cases, there is still a lack of information, how effective joints of flat and structured sheet metals are in omparison with reference joints of flat sheets. Combinations of resistance spot-welded specimens of flat and honeycomb-structured thin sheets of deep-drawing steel DC04 with a thickness of 0.5 mm were examined. Adopted clamping plates were applied for the testing. Joined smooth specimens were used as a reference material. The analysis of the frequency [1] was applied for comparison. The fatigue limit of a joint of a flat and a structured sheet metal is not significantly affected by spot welding. The fatigue limit of these spot-welded joints is comparable to that of an non joined honeycomb-structured sheet. By means of frequency or stiffness analysis, stability and damage mechanisms of differently shaped joints were explained. The joining of bridges of the structure shows a better stability than the combination of honeycombs. The stiffness analysis is a favored method for the clarification of the damage mechanisms in a spot-welded joint. The reasons for the low fatigue strength values of the joined flat-structured specimens compared to flat-flat joints are strong notch effects in the bridge area and momentum effects by the structure height of the studied honeycomb structure. The spot weld with a pronounced indentation also affected the fatigue strength of both flat and structured joined sheet metals.

A question that remains almost completely ignored in the process is the direct comparability of structured thin sheet metals with flat reference specimens. A thin sheet is not a classic specimen to determine the fatigue strength because of the known problem of the fracture mechanics. Structured thin sheet metals of deep-drawing steel DC04 with a thickness of 0.5 mm were examined. Flat specimens were used as reference material. The frequency analysis was used for comparison. Fundamental differences in the mechanical behavior between flat and structured sheets under cyclic load were observed. Whereas an extremely flat S-N curve in the low-cycle region with a high slope coefficient was observed for the smooth thin sheets, the structured specimens show a curve typical for notched specimens. Moreover, the smooth sheets have a specific cyclic hardening and/or softening behavior. The state of plane stress of a fine sheet in contrast to a multi-axial one for the structured sheet complicates the direct comparison. For this reason, such a comparison with respect to their fatigue strength in the Wohler diagram should only be considered with caution.

Since 1986, a metal vessel scaffold (stent) has been inserted to prevent the vessel wall from collapsing. Most of these coronary stents are made from CrNiMo­steel (316L). Due to its austenitic structure, the material shows a good combination of strength, ductility, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. However, this material has some disadvantages like its non-MRI compatibility and its poor fluoroscopic visibility. Other typically used materials are the Co­Base alloys L-605 and F-562 which are MRI compatible as well as radiopaque. Another interesting fact is their excellent radial strength and therefore the ability to produce extra thin struts with increased strength. However, because of a strut diameter much less than 100 μm, the cross section consists of about 5 to 10 crystal grains (oligo­crystalline). Thus, very few or even just one grain can be responsible for the success or failure of the whole stent. To investigate the relation between microstructure, mechanical factors and stent design, commercially available Cobalt-Chromium stents were investigated with focus on distinct inhomogeneous plastic deformation due to crimping and dilation. A characteristic, material related deformation behavior with predominantly primary slip was identified to be responsible for the special properties of CoCr stents.

This demonstrates the capability of using MAX phase coatings as erosion protective medium for engine components exposed to similar damage conditions. Additionally,the results show that uncoated Ti6242 samples with duplex microstructure have a better durability against erosion attack compared to uncoated samples with globular microstructure.

This wear can be reduced by the use of suitable erosion resistant coatings resulting in lower maintenance costs. In this context, multilayer Cr/CrN PVD coatings using an industrial coater was designed and applied on Inconel 718, a material which finds its application in gas turbines. A variation in the bimodal period has been induced in order to achieve an optimal coating architecture providing optimum properties needed for the erosion resistant coatings. The coating was deposited using a single Cr- target with an induction of N2 during the nitriding phase at a temperature of 480-500 °C and the coating thickness of 24-26 µm was kept constant throughout. The erosion tests were conducted at angles of 30°, 60° and 90°. The sand used for the test is an irregular shaped SiO2. The erosion tests were followed by a detailed microscopic examination of the eroded coating structure in combination with nanoindentation and scratch tests.

The research focuses on experimental measurement and numerical calculation of ductile failure in the X2CrNiMo18-15-3 (AISI 316L) stainless steel. An embedding numerical technique is employed where crystal plasticity theory is used to represent plastic deformation in the material and element removal technique based on Rice&Tracey damage model for ductile void growth to simulate damage initiation inside the material, which is observed in the experiments. Additionally, the crystal plasticity model is supported by a hierarchical multiscale approach connecting nano-, micro- and meso-scales.

In addition they offer good crash, damping and recycling properties. On the basis of their morphology they are suitable for large scale manufacturing processes. A major disadvantage consists of its poor hardness properties, which is again an important requirement to realize a good erosion and wear behaviour. Design/methodology/approach: In this work the application of orthotropic carbon fibre reinforced polymers (PA6), with protective TiAlN coatings, produced by physical vapor deposition (PVD), is investigated. The characterization of the coating is performed by nanoindentation tests, roughness measurements and scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore micro hardness tests on selected well prepared cross sections are conducted, to compare the coating quality with established coating systems. Findings: By applying TiAlN coating, the hardness of the CFRP samples can be increased substantially up to 15 GPa, in comparison to the basic substrate. In addition the quality of the coating surface can be improved significantly by plasma etching pre-treatment. Research limitations/implications: The presented findings are preliminary results to prove the application of a standard processed ceramic coating on new composite types for mass production. The PVD coating process as well as the utilized testing methods are suitable to realize hard coatings on thermoplastic CFRP. This effect can be exploited for several lightweight applications to increase the erosion and wear resistance of composite materials. Originality/value: The presented results show, that ceramic coatings can be deposited on standard thermoplastic CFRP with polyamide 6 matrix. Therewith it can be expected, that the PVD coating process can make a essential contribution to increase the range of applications.

Quality improvement of sheet metal components by new constructive solutions (structuring) as well as adapted joining technology is going on. Structured sheet metals differ from each other by their high bending stiffness. At the same time, they show certain anisotropy due to the structure. Therefore a typical testing method of structured semi-finished parts (single sheet metals, sandwiches)is the bending test. The literature review revealed that in many studies no special demands on tests of structured materials were made. This concerns particularly the structure arrangement, structure direction and structure location of the specimen relative to the mandrel position during bending tests, i. e., the direction of the fixed load relative to the structure. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the test specification on flexural behavior. In the present paper, honeycomb-structured sheet metals were examined using 3-point bending tests. Bending stiffness and lightweight potential were calculated with respect to the location of load application and compared for different structure arrangements,directions and locations. The influence of the anisotropy on flexural behavior of the honeycomb-patterned sheet metals was moderate.
