Crystallography and Mechanical Properties of Wire Arc Additively Manufactured Al5356 Components
(2021)
In this study, we present results of the evolution of the crystallographic texture and imperfections, as well as the corresponding mechanical properties of wire and arc additively manufactured (WAAM) Al5356 specimens, studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and tensile testing, respectively. The results show that the phase composition is in the form of a face-centred cubic (fcc) crystal structure, corresponding to the base material, as well as some traces of oxide phase Al2O3. The WAAM specimen growing is accompanied by a slight change in the preferred crystallographic orientation, from (111) to (200) and a decrease in the imperfections concentration. Also, it was found that the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), yield strength (YS), and elongation slightly decrease from the initial to the more advanced stages of growth.
Analysis of temperature field during electron beam welding of hot crack sensitive nickel base alloy
(2021)
The use of temperature-resistant nickel-based superalloys in the field of industrial gas turbines is increasing due to constantly rising operating temperatures. Among different joining methods the electron beam welding is commonly used for manufacturing of turbine components because it provides a reduced heat input. However, the highly localized beam impact causes high temperature gradients and leads to the formation of hot cracks. Welding of such material with a high brittle temperature range is challenging and needs an increasing effort of process adaption. Experiments indicate a significant improvement of hot crack susceptibility when welding outside the common welding parameter range. To understand these observations a study of the temperature field in the specimens using numerical simulations was carried out. For this purpose, a validated simulation model was used. Special attention was paid to the domain in close vicinity of the weld pool. The results illustrate the velocity of solidification isotherm as well as the temperature rates when crossing the melting point. Finally, the relations between thermal fields, crack types and distributions in the different specimens are discussed.
Die lichtbogenbasierte additive Fertigung (WAAM) ist ein vielversprechendes Werkzeug, um die Ersatzteilbereitstellung von schwer verfügbaren oder aufwendig herstellbaren Einzelkomponenten in kürzester Zeit zu gewährleisten. Die Straffung innerbetrieblicher Abläufe sowie die Minimierung von Herstellungs- und Lagerkosten sind eine direkte Folge. Vor dem Einsatz im Betrieb muss sichergestellt werden, dass die Bauteile fehlerfrei additiv herstellbar sind und die mechanischen Eigenschaften den Anforderungen konventionell gefertigter Werkstücke entsprechen. Ein solcher Nachweis konnte am Beispiel eines additiv hergestellten Zwischenstücks für die Bergbauausrüstung mit einer abschließenden Charakterisierung der Werkstoffeigenschaften erfolgreich geführt werden. Das Zwischenstück mit einem Gewicht von ca. 31 kg zur Verbindung von geometrisch unterschiedlichen Profilen wurde ausgehend von einer Grundplatte aus S355-J2+N beidseitig additiv mit einem Massivdraht G3Si1 aufgebaut. Die Ermittlung geeigneter Parameter, Schweißfolgen und Zwischenlagentemperaturen erfolgte experimentell mit begleitenden metallografischen Untersuchungen. Nach erfolgreicher Fertigung wurden die mechanischen Eigenschaften des Zwischenstücks bestimmt sowie die Festigkeit und Zähigkeit mit den geforderten Werkstoffkennwerten des bisher eingesetzten konventionellen Konstruktionsmaterials verglichen.
Structured materials can be progressive alternatives to commonly used
flat sheets because of their higher bending stiffness and stability compared to flat sheet metals, made of the same alloy. The application of sheet metals requires accurate information regarding their strength and deformation behavior. Such data are not commonly available and have to be measured by specific test setups and implementation
of tests. The aim of this work is to obtain new knowledge about deformation mechanisms of structured sheet metals. Structured sheet metals (SSM) made of conventional deep-drawing steel DC04 were investigated by means of tensile tests. The influence of the structure type arrangement on the deformation behavior was analyzed. The evolution of local strains was analyzed by means of strain gauge
measurements as well as 3D-displacement measurements with an ARAMIS highresolution camera system. Local orientation changes in different structural elements were measured using the electron backscatter diffraction technique.
Während in einem konventionellen Ultraschallprüfkopf ein Kunststoffdämpfungskörper mit Kleber oder Öl an einen Piezoschwinger angekoppelt ist, werden als Hochtemperaturlösung feinporöse sintermetallische Dämpfungsmaterialien mit einer Flüssigglasankopplung eingesetzt. Um dabei das Sintermetall vor dem korrosiven Angriff der Glasschmelze zu schützten, wird am Dämpfungskörper gegenwärtig Gold- oder Platinfolie zeit- und kostenaufwendig appliziert.
In der aktuellen Arbeit wurde eine Methode zum Korrosionsschutz der sintermetallischen Oberfläche aus rostfreiem Stahl mittels Laser-Pulverauftragschweißen entwickelt. Im Laufe einer Schweißparameterstudie auf dem Substratmaterial aus massivem rostfreiem Stahl wurde die Eignung unterschiedlicher Auftragsmaterialien auf Nickel- und Kobaltbasis untersucht. Dabei wurde zunächst der Einfluss verschiedener Schweißparameter wie Laserleistung, Vorschubgeschwindigkeit und Pulvermenge auf die Auftragsqualität (Nahtform, Vermischungsgrad, Porosität) metallografisch bewertet. Anschließend wurden die aufgetragenen Schichten hinsichtlich ihrer Korrosionsbeständigkeit getestet. Der Kontakt mit einer flüssigen Glasmischung bei 500 °C hat bei keiner der beschichteten Proben sichtbare Korrosionswirkung gezeigt. Als Resultat der Schweißparameterstudie haben sich besonders die nickelbasierten
Pulver als gut geeignete Materialien für den Prozess gezeigt. Die identifizierten Schweißparameter wurden im nächsten Schritt erfolgreich an das sintermetallische Substrat angepasst.
This work presents a comparative study towards the development of efficient micro-reactors based on 3D-printed structures. Thus, the study evaluates the influence of the metal substrate geometry on the performance of structured catalysts for the CO2 methanation reaction. For this purpose, 0.5%Ru–15%Ni/MgAl2O4 catalyst is wash coated over two different micro-monolithic metal substrates: a conventional parallel channel honeycomb structure and a novel 3D-printed structure with a complex gyroid geometry. The effect of the metal substrate geometry is analyzed for several CO2 sources including ideal flue gas atmospheres, the presence of residual CH4 and CO in the flue gas, as well as simulated biogas sources. The advantages of the gyroid-3D complex geometries over the honeycomb structures are shown for all evaluated conditions, providing at the best-case scenario a 14% improvement of CO2 conversion. Moreover, this contribution shows that systematically tailoring geometrical features of structured catalysts becomes an effective strategy to achieve improved catalysts performances independent of the flue gas composition. By enhancing the transport processes and the gas-catalyst interactions, the employed gyroid 3D metal substrates enable boosted CO2 conversions and greater CH4 selectivity within diffusional controlled regimes.
Impulse Friction Stir Welding (IFSW) was utilized to join 6082–T6 alloy plates at various impulse frequencies. A distinctive feature of IFSW is the generation of mechanical impulses that enhances the forging action of the tool, and thereby, alters the weld microstructure. The microstructural evolution in the Stir Zone (SZ) with special focus on the strengthening precipitation behavior, and overall mechanical properties of the IFSW joints have been investigated. It was demonstrated that the strengthening β″ precipitates reprecipitated in the SZ of the IFSW joints during natural aging. In contrast, no precipitates were found in the SZ of the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) weld. Partial reversion of β″ after IFSW is supposed to occur due to more developed subgrain network and higher dislocation density introduced by impulses that accelerated precipitation kinetics. Dynamic recrystallisation was facilitated by impulses resulting in a fine, homogeneous structure. There was no significant difference between the microhardness in the SZ, tensile and yield strength of the FSW and IFSW joints. However, the application of impulses demonstrated the smoothing of the hardness reduction in the transition region at the advancing side. The shift of the fracture location from the Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ) by FSW to the SZ as well as higher elongation of the joints by IFSW of lower frequencies could be related to the grain refinement and the change of the grain orientation.
Mixing of steel and aluminum within the weld pool during keyhole laser welding results in a complex dissimilar microstructure, which in turn, initiates a shift in weld metal mechanical properties. In this study, a numerical model for computation of distortions in laser-welded dissimilar overlap joints (austenitic stainless steel 304 – 6082-T6 aluminum alloy), which considers properties of the mixed steel-aluminum weld metal was developed. The required yield strength, Young's modulus, and strain hardening exponent of the weld metal were experimentally determined using the indentation technique coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The designed material model calculates the weld elastic-plastic properties as a function of the aluminum concentration. The softening of the alloys in the heat-affected zone was determined by physical simulations and considered as a function of maximum temperature. Computed and measured distortions showed good agreement for various welding regimes with an average deviation of 18.4%. The sensitivity analyses indicated that the application of the developed weld material model significantly improves the accuracy of the thermomechanical simulations.
