T1 - Damage tolerant design of additively manufactured metallic components subjected to cyclic loading: State of the art and challenges N2 - This article is an outcome of a workshop on Fatigue of Additive Manufactured Metallic Components jointly organized by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) Berlin, Germany and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Boulder, CO, U.S.A. The aim of the workshop was a comprehensive discussion of the specific aspects of additively manufactured (AM) components in regard to failure under cyclic loading. Undoubtedly, a better understanding and the further development of approaches for damage tolerant component design of AM parts are among the most significant challenges currently facing the use of these new technologies. This article presents a thorough overview of the workshop discussions. It aims to provide a review of the parameters affecting the damage tolerance of AM parts with special emphasis on the process parameters intrinsic to the AM technologies, the resulting defects and residual stresses. Based on these aspects, concepts for damage tolerant component design for AM are reviewed and critically discussed.

The main limiting factors affecting the structural integrity of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) parts are manufacturing defects and residual stress (RS) because both of them are virtually inevitable. Taking into account the complex thermal history of LPBF materials, a prediction of the material behavior is not possible without experimental data on the microstructure, defect distribution, and RS fields. Therefore, this thesis aims to understand the factors that influence the LPBF Ti-6Al-4V material performance the most, covering both the production and the post-processing steps of manufacturing. Indeed, a parametric study on the influence of manufacturing process and post-processing on RS, defects and microstructure was performed. It was found that the volumetric energy Density (EV), commonly used for the LPBF process optimization, does neither consider the pore shapes and distribution, nor the influence of individual parameters on the volume fraction of pores. Therefore, it was recommended not to use EV without great care. It was shown that the Position on the base plate has a great impact on the amount of RS in the part. The micromechanical behavior of LPBF Ti-6Al-4V was also studied using in-situ Synchrotron X-ray diffraction during tensile and compression tests. Diffraction elastic constants (DEC), connecting macroscopic stress and (micro) strain, of the LPBF Ti-6Al-4V showed a difference from the DEC of conventionally manufactured alloy. This fact was attributed to the peculiar microstructure and crystallographic texture. It was therefore recommended to determine experimentally DECs whenever possible. Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) tests at a chosen operating temperature were performed to evaluate the effect of post-treatment on the mechanical performance. Through the information on the microstructure, the mesostructure, and the RS, the LCF behavior was (indirectly) correlated to the process parameters. It was found that the fatigue performance of LPBF samples subjected to hot isostatic pressing is similar to that of hot-formed Ti-6Al-4V. The tensile RS found at the surface of LPBF as-built samples decreased the fatigue life compared to the heat-treated samples. The modification of the microstructure (by heat treatment) did not affect the Fatigue performance in the elastic regime. This shows that in the absence of tensile RS, the manufacturing defects solely control the failure of LPBF components and densification has the strongest effect on the improvement of the mechanical performance.

This enables high weight savings as well as the integration of functions such as cooling channels. This technology thus offers great potential to contribute to a sustainable future. The pioneer among these manufacturing processes is the powder bed fusion of metals with laser beams (PBF-LB/M). This process is characterised by high laser scanning speeds and highly localised heat input, which have a strong effect on the microstructure and thus also on the mechanical properties. For example, the austenitic steel 316L exhibits a cellular structure at the subgrain level. This microstructure feature leads to higher yield strengths and comparable ductility to conventionally processed 316L. In addition to the traditional applications of 316L steel in the petrochemical and nuclear industries, this enables new applications such as medical stents or bipolar plates for fuel cells with proton exchange membranes. However, the layer-by-layer production with high scanning speeds and localised heat input induces cooling rates in the order of 106 K.s-1. The large temperature gradients and the shrinkage restraints of each weld bead and layer lead to the development of complex residual stress fields. These reduce the material performance and can even lead to premature failure. Thus, the fatigue properties are severely affected by rapid crack growth or prematurely developing cracks. Furthermore, specimens may warp during PBF-LB/M or immediately when the components are separated from the build plate. Therefore, residual stress is one of the main disadvantages of PBF-LB/M, making it difficult for this technology to be more widely accepted in the industry. Based on the current state of the literature, the procedure for determining residual stress employing diffraction methods, the influence of the component geometry, as well as the inter-layertime (ILT) on residual stress and, lastly, suitable heat treatment strategies for relaxing residual stress in PBF-LB/M/316L, were identified as insufficiently researched areas. Determining residual stress is a major challenge. X-ray and neutron diffraction are particularly suitable for filigree structures, which can preferably be produced using PBF-LB/M. Here, the microscopic strain of the lattice planes is used to calculate the macroscopic residual stress. These methods are nondestructive and allow the spatial resolution of the bi-axial and tri-axial residual stress. In the present work, in-situ neutron diffraction tensile tests were performed to analyse the micromechanical behaviour of PBF-LB/M/316L. The suitability of the lattice planes for calculating the macroscopic residual stress was investigated. The (311) lattice plane was found to be the best option for determining the macroscopic residual stress in PBF-LB/M/316L. Furthermore, it was shown that the Kröner model can be used to calculate the X-ray diffraction constants despite the texture. Currently, both aspects are common practices in the determination of residual stress. The results presented here support the validity of this approach and increase the confidence in the experimentally determined residual stress, which has a positive effect on the assessment of quality concerning the safety of a component manufactured by PBF-LB/M. The geometry of a structure manufactured by PBF-LB/M determines the component stiffness and influences the thermal gradients during manufacture and ultimately the residual stress. The effect of smaller or larger dimensions (larger than 10 mm) on the residual stress is rarely considered. To investigate this aspect, representative test specimens with different thicknesses and lengths were produced. Hence, the influence of the geometry i.e., component stiffness on the residual stress was evaluated. The residual stress was determined using X-ray and neutron diffraction. The analysis of the residual stress showed that an increase in thickness leads to overall higher residual stress. In addition, it was shown that increasing the sample dimension leads to smaller residual stress gradients. Above a threshold value of a few millimetres, no significant change in the residual stress was observed. The ILT is inherent in every PBF-LB/M construction job and influences the thermal gradients during production and thus the residual stress. A change in wall thickness in a geometrically complex structure or a variation in the number of specimens in the construction process leads directly to a change in the ILT. To simulate this, specimens with different ILT were produced. The residual stress was determined by X-ray and neutron diffraction. The use of a short ILT resulted in higher surface residual stress, but lower volume residual stress. Here, the surface residual stress and the residual stress in the volume showed contrary behaviour. This was attributed to the complex heat conduction during the process, as shown by the thermographic measurements. To avoid distortion of the specimens or real components upon separation from the build plate or during post-processing steps, stress relief annealing is usually performed after the PBF-LB/M process. Based on standards for heat treatment of welded austenitic steels, heat treatments were performed at low (450 °C for four hours) and high (800 °C and 900 °C for one hour) temperatures. The results show that the heat treatment at 450 °C relaxed the residual stress by only 5 %. This low relaxation is due to the stability of the cell structures. The high-temperature heat treatment showed that 900 °C is required to dissolve the cell structure and achieve a relaxation of about 85 %. This result is in good agreement with the standards for stress relief annealing of welded austenitic steels. N2 - Additive Fertigungsverfahren bieten durch die schichtweise Herstellung weitreichende Vorteile für die Gestaltungsfreiheit von Strukturen und ermöglichen somit hohe Gewichtseinsparungen. Auch die Integration von Funktionen, beispielsweise Kühlkanäle, können unmittelbar während der Herstellung eingebracht werden. Damit bietet diese Technologie ein hohes Potential zu einer nachhaltigen Zukunft beizutragen. Der Vorreiter unter diesen Fertigungsprozessen ist das Pulverbettbasierte Schmelzen von Metallen mittels Laserstrahlen (PBF-LB/M). Dieser Prozess zeichnet sich durch hohe Laserscangeschwindigkeiten und eine stark lokalisierte Wärmeeinbringung aus, welche sich auf die Mikrostruktur und damit auch auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften auswirken. So weist der austenitische Stahl 316L eine zelluläre Struktur auf Subkornniveau auf, welche zu höheren Streckgrenzen jedoch nicht verringerter Duktilität im Vergleich zu konventionell verarbeitetem 316L führt. Dies ermöglicht, neben den traditionellen Einsatzgebieten des Stahls 316L in der petrochemischen und nuklearen Industrie, neue Anwendungen wie medizinische Stents oder Bipolarplatten für Brennstoffzellen mit Protonenaustauschmembran. Die schichtweise Fertigung mit hohen Scangeschwindigkeiten und lokaler Wärmeeinbringung bedingt jedoch Abkühlraten in der Größenordnung von 106 K.s-1. Die hohen Temperaturgradienten im Zusammenspiel mit den Schrumpfbehinderungen jeder Schweißraupe und Lage sorgen für die Entstehung komplexer Eigenspannungsfelder. Diese verringern die Beanspruchbarkeit des Materials und können sogar zu einem vorläufigen Versagen führen. So sind die Ermüdungseigenschaften durch ein rapides Risswachstum bzw. ein vorzeitig entstehender Riss durch Eigenspannungen stark beeinträchtigt. Des Weiteren kommt es vor, dass sich die Proben während des PBF-LB/M oder unmittelbar bei der Trennung der Bauteile von der Bauplatte verziehen. Daher sind die Eigenspannungen eines der Hauptnachteile des PBF-LB/M, die eine breitere Akzeptanz dieses Verfahrens in der Industrie erschweren. Ausgehend vom aktuellen Literaturstand, wurde die Vorgehensweise bei der Bestimmung der Eigenspannungen mittels Beugungsmethoden, der Einfluss der Bauteilgeometrie bzw. Bauteilsteifigkeit sowie der Zwischenlagenzeit auf die Eigenspannungen und zuletzt geeignete Wärmebehandlungsstrategien zur Relaxation der Eigenspannungen in PBF-LB/M/316L als unzureichend erforschte Bereiche identifiziert. Die Bestimmung der Eigenspannung ist eine große Herausforderung. Insbesondere bei filigranen Strukturen, welche vorzugsweise mittels PBF-LB/M hergestellt werden können, eignen sich die Röntgen- und Neutronenbeugung. Hierbei wird die mikroskopische Dehnung der Gitterebenen zur Berechnung der makroskopischen Eigenspannung verwendet. Diese Methoden sind zerstörungsfrei und ermöglichen die räumliche Auflösung der bi-axialen und tri-axialen Eigenspannungen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden in-situ Neutronenbeugungszugversuche durchgeführt, um das mikromechanische Verhalten des PBF-LB/M/316L zu analysieren. Die Eignung der Gitterebenen zur Berechnung der makroskopischen Eigenspannung wurde untersucht. Die (311) Gitterebene erwies sich als die beste Option für die Bestimmung der makroskopischen Eigenspannung in PBF-LB/M/316L. Darüber hinaus wurde gezeigt, dass das Kröner-Modell trotz Textur zur Berechnung der Röntgenbeugungskonstanten verwendet werden kann. Derzeit werden beide Aspekte in der Bestimmung der Eigenspannungen standardmäßig angewandt. Die hier präsentierten Ergebnisse untermauern die Gültigkeit dieses Vorgehens und erhöhen das Vertrauen in den experimentell bestimmten Eigenspannungen, welches sich positiv auf die Beurteilung der Qualität hinsichtlich der Sicherheit eines durch PBF-LB/M gefertigten Bauteils auswirkt. Die Geometrie einer durch PBF-LB/M hergestellten Struktur bestimmt maßgeblich die Bauteilsteifigkeit und beeinflusst die thermischen Gradienten während der Herstellung und letztendlich die Eigenspannungen. Die Auswirkung kleinerer oder größerer Abmessungen (größer 10 mm) auf die Eigenspannungen wird derzeit oft nicht berücksichtigt. Um diesen Aspekt zu untersuchen, wurden repräsentative Probekörper mit unterschiedlichen Dicken und Längen hergestellt. Damit konnte der Einfluss der Geometrie bzw. Bauteilsteifigkeit auf die Eigenspannungen gezielt bewertet werden. Die Eigenspannungen wurden mittels Röntgen- als auch Neutronenbeugung bestimmt. Die Analyse der Eigenspannungen ergab, dass eine Erhöhung der Dicke zu insgesamt höheren Eigenspannungen führt. Zusätzlich wurde gezeigt, dass eine Vergrößerung der Probenabmessung zu kleineren Eigenspannungsgradienten führt. Oberhalb eines Schwellenwerts von wenigen Millimetern ändern sich die Eigenspannungen nicht mehr signifikant. Die sogenannte Zwischenlagenzeit (ILT) ist jedem PBF-LB/M-Bauauftrag inhärent und beeinflusst die thermischen Gradienten während der Herstellung und damit maßgeblich die Eigenspannungen. Ein Wanddickensprung in einer geometrisch komplexen Struktur bzw. einer Variation der Probenanzahl im Bauprozess führt unmittelbar zu einer Änderung der ILT. Um dies nachzubilden, wurden Proben mit unterschiedlichen ILT hergestellt. Die Eigenspannungen wurden mittels Röntgen- und Neutronenbeugung bestimmt. Die Verwendung einer kurzen ILT hat zu höheren Oberflächeneigenspannungen geführt, jedoch zu geringeren Volumeneigenspannungen. Hierbei zeigten die Oberflächeneigenspannungen und die Eigenspannungen im Volumen ein konträres Verhalten. Dies wurde auf die komplexe Wärmeleitung während des Prozesses zurückgeführt, wie die thermografischen Messungen zeigten. Um den Verzug der hergestellten Probekörper oder realen Bauteile bei der Abtrennung der Bauplatte oder in Nachbearbeitungsschritten zu vermeiden, wird in der Regel ein Spannungsarmglühen nach dem PBF-LB/M Prozess durchgeführt. Basierend auf Standards für die Wärmebehandlung von geschweißten austenitischen Stählen, wurden Wärmebehandlungen bei niedrigen (450 °C für vier Stunden) und hohen (800 °C bzw. 900 °C für eine Stunde) Temperaturen durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Wärmebehandlung bei 450 °C die Eigenspannungen um lediglich 5 % relaxierte. Diese geringe Relaxation ist auf die Stabilität der Zellstrukturen zurückzuführen. Die Hochtemperatur-Wärmebehandlung zeigte, dass 900 °C erforderlich sind, um die Zellstruktur aufzulösen und eine Relaxation von etwa 85 % zu erreichen. Dieses Ergebnis steht in guter Übereinstimmung mit den Standards für das Spannungsarmglühen geschweißter austenitischer Stähle.

This enables metal AM, also known as metal 3D printing, to be utilized for improving efficiency and functionality, for the production of parts with very complex geometries, and rapid prototyping. However, despite many technological advancements made in recent years, several challenges hinder the mass adoption of metal AM. One of these challenges is mechanical anisotropy which describes the dependency of material properties on the material orientation. Therefore, in this work, stainless steel 316L parts produced by laser-based powder bed fusion are used to isolate and understand the root cause of anisotropy in AM parts. Furthermore, an efficient and accurate multiscale numerical framework is presented for predicting the deformation behavior of actual AM parts on the macroscale undergoing large plastic deformations. Finally, a novel constitutive model for the plastic spin is formulated to capture the influence of the microstructure evolution on the material behavior on the macroscale.

T1 - Fatigue strength and fracture mechanics - A general perspective N2 - Common fracture mechanics based fatigue considerations are usually limited to the residual lifetime determination of so-called long cracks. The extension of this concept to the total lifetime, as in the S-N curve approach, requires an adequate description of short crack propagation which cannot be based on the Delta K concept, and it must consider the crack closure phenomenon as well as its gradual build-up at the short crack stage. Further, it has to provide a meaningful definition of initial crack dimensions and a solution for the multiple crack problem at stress levels higher than the fatigue limit as it is specific for some configurations such as weldments. This paper aims at a discussion of all these points and offers possible solutions which are illustrated by examples taken from the German IBESS project on fracture mechanics based determination of the fatigue strength of weldments, the results of which will be discussed in more detail in this Special issue.

SXRR and SXRCT make use of the refraction of X-rays at inner surfaces of the material, e.g., the surfaces of cracks and pores, for image contrast. Both methods are, therefore, sensitive to smaller defects than their absorption based counterparts X-ray radiography and computed tomography. They can detect defects of nanometric size. So far the methods have been applied to the analysis of ceramic materials and fiber reinforced plastics. The analysis of metallic materials requires higher photon energies to achieve sufficient X-ray transmission due to their higher density. This causes smaller refraction angles and, thus, lower image contrast because the refraction index depends on the photon energy. Here, for the first time, a conclusive study is presented exploring the possibility to apply SXRR and SXRCT to metallic materials. It is shown that both methods can be optimized to overcome the reduced contrast due to smaller refraction angles. Hence, the only remaining limitation is the achievable X-ray Transmission which is common to all X-ray imaging methods. Further, a model for the quantitative analysis of the inner surfaces is presented and verified. For this purpose four case studies are conducted each posing a specific challenge to the imaging task. Case study A investigates cracks in a coupon taken from an aluminum weld seam. This case study primarily serves to verify the model for quantitative analysis and prove the sensitivity to sub-resolution features. In case study B, the damage evolution in an aluminum-based particle reinforced metal-matrix composite is analyzed. Here, the accuracy and repeatability of subsequent SXRR measurements is investigated showing that measurement errors of less than 3% can be achieved. Further, case study B marks the fist application of SXRR in combination with in-situ tensile loading. Case study C is out of the highly topical field of additive manufacturing. Here, porosity in additively manufactured Ti-Al6-V4 is analyzed with a special interest in the pore morphology. A classification scheme based on SXRR measurements is devised which allows to distinguish binding defects from keyhole pores even if the defects cannot be spatially resolved. In case study D, SXRCT is applied to the analysis of hydrogen assisted cracking in steel. Due to the high X-ray attenuation of steel a comparatively high photonenergy of 50 keV is required here. This causes increased noise and lower contrast in the data compared to the other case studies. However, despite the lower data quality a quantitative analysis of the occurance of cracks in dependence of hydrogen content and applied mechanical load is possible. N2 - In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die zwei, auf Refraktion basierende, Röntgenbildgebungsverfahren Synchrotron Röntgen-Refraktions Radiographie (engl.: SXRR) und Synchrotron Röntgen-Refraktions Computertomographie (engl.: SXRCT) für die quantitative Analyse von Rissen und Porosität in metallischenWerkstoffen angewandt. SXRR und SXRCT nutzen die Refraktion von Röntgenstrahlen an inneren Oberflächen des Materials, z.B. die Oberflächen von Rissen und Poren, zur Bildgebung. Beide Methoden sind daher empfindlich gegenüber kleineren Defekten als ihre auf Röntgenabsorption basierenden Gegenstücke, Röntgenradiographie und Röntgen-Computertomographie. Sie sind in der Lage Defekte von nanometrischer Größe zu detektieren. Bislang wurden die Methoden für die Analyse von keramischen Werkstoffen und faserverstärkten Kunststoffen eingesetzt. Die Analyse von metallischenWerkstoffen benötigt höhere Photonenenergien benötigt werden um eine ausreichende Transmission zu erreichen. Dies hat kleinere Refraktionswinkel, und damit geringeren Bildkontrast, zur Folge, da der Brechungsindex von der Photonenenergie abhängt. Hier wird erstmals eine umfassende Studie vorgelegt, welche die Möglichkeiten zur Untersuchung metallischer Werkstoffe mittels SXRR und SXRCT untersucht. Es wird gezeigt, dass der geringere Kontrast, verursacht durch die kleineren Refraktionswinkel, überwunden werden kann. Somit ist die einzig verbleibende Beschränkung die erreichbare Transmission, die alle Röntgenbildgebungsverfahren gemeinsam haben. Darüber hinaus wird ein Modell für die quantitative Auswertung der inneren Oberflächen präsentiert und verifiziert. Zu diesem Zweck werden vier Fallstudien durchgeführt, wobei jede eine spezifische Herausforderung darstellt. In Fallstudie A werden Risse in einer Probe aus einer Aluminiumschweißnaht untersucht. Diese Fallstudie dient hauptsächlich dazu das Modell für die quantitative Analyse zu verifizieren und die Empfindlichkeit gegenüber Strukturen unterhalb des Auflösungsvermögens zu beweisen. In Fallstudie B wird die Entwicklung der Schädigung in einem aluminiumbasierten partikelverstärktem Metall-Matrix Komposit untersucht. Dabei wird die Genauigkeit und Wiederholbarkeit der SXRR Messungen analysiert und es wird gezeigt das Messfehler kleiner 3% erreicht werden können. Darüber hinaus wird in Fallstudie B erstmals SXRR in Kombination mit in-situ Zugbelastung eingesetzt. Fallstudie C ist aus dem hochaktuellen Bereich der additive Fertigung. Hier wird Porosität in additiv gefertigtem Ti-Al6-V4 analysiert mit besonderem Augenmerk auf der Morphologie der Poren. Es wurde ein Verfahren zur Klassifizierung, basierend auf SXRR Messungen, erfunden, welches Bindefehler und Poren voneinander unterscheiden kann auch wenn die Defekte nicht räumlich aufgelöst werden können. In Fallstudie D wird SXRCT zur Analyse von wasserstoffunterstützter Rissbildung in Stahl angewandt. Wegen der hohen Röntgenschwächung des Stahls muss hier mit 50 keV eine vergleichsweise hohe Photonenenergie genutzt werden. Dadurch zeigen die Daten ein erhöhtes Rauschen und geringeren Kontrast verglichen mit den anderen Fallstudien. Allerdings ist es, trotz der geringeren Datenqualität, möglich das Auftreten von Rissen in Abhängigkeit der Wasserstoffkonzentration und mechanischen Belastung zu untersuchen.

T1 - The Industrialisation of Sustainable Construction: A Transdisciplinary Approach to the Large-Scale Introduction of Compacted Mineral Mixtures (CMMs) into Building Construction N2 - Abstract: Increasing demand for sustainable, resilient, and low-carbon construction materials has highlighted the potential of Compacted Mineral Mixtures (CMMs), which are formulated from various soil types (sand, silt, clay) and recycled mineral waste. This paper presents a comprehensive inter- and transdisciplinary research concept that aims to industrialise and scale up the adoption of CMM-based construction materials and methods, thereby accelerating the construction industry’s systemic transition towards carbon neutrality. By drawing upon the latest advances in soil mechanics, rheology, and automation, we propose the development of a robust material properties database to inform the design and application of CMM-based materials, taking into account their complex, time-dependent behaviour. Advanced soil mechanical tests would be utilised to ensure optimal performance under various loading and ageing conditions. This research has also recognised the importance of context-specific strategies for CMM adoption. We have explored the implications and limitations of implementing the proposed framework in developing countries, particularly where resources may be constrained. We aim to shed light on socio-economic and regulatory aspects that could influence the adoption of these sustainable construction methods. The proposed concept explores how the automated production of CMM-based wall elements can become a fast, competitive, emission-free, and recyclable alternative to traditional masonry and concrete construction techniques. We advocate for the integration of open-source digital platform technologies to enhance data accessibility, processing, and knowledge acquisition; to boost confidence in CMM-based technologies; and to catalyse their widespread adoption. We believe that the transformative potential of this research necessitates a blend of basic and applied investigation using a comprehensive, holistic, and transfer-oriented methodology. Thus, this paper serves to highlight the viability and multiple benefits of CMMs in construction, emphasising their pivotal role in advancing sustainable development and resilience in the built environment.

Pastes were cured at elevated temperatures (60–90 °C) and relative humidity (r.H.) of 80–98 %. After curing the pastes at 80 °C and 80% r.H for one day, the reaction virtually ceased. Depending on the silica source either geopolymer- zeolite composites or zeolite-free geopolymeric gel forms. The compressive strength of the geopolymer-zeolite composites was lower as the compressive strength of a pure geopolymer, mainly due to a significantly denser and glassy microstructure with less interfaces of the latter one. The major part of the thermal dehydration occurred between 60 °C and 200 °C. Up to 700–800 °C only minor changes of the phase assemblage have been observed for the composites. Depending on the paste composition either ceramic or amorphous phases form during exposure to 1000 °C. Compared to other AAM, very low ambient drying/wetting shrinkage/expansion was observed for the mortars The mortars furthermore provide very high resistance against sulfuric acid (pH 1). Huge parts of the corroded layer are not dissolved from the specimen and can still provide protection for a potential substrate. In terms of sulfuric acid resistance, above a critical CaO content, the formation of gypsum is introduced. This causes expansion, cracking and the decrease of the sulfuric acid resistance.

T1 - A novel approach for rating fatigue-initiating inclusions in highly demanding steel (INCAFAT) N2 - INCAFAT project aimed to improve existing fatigue damage models by establishing the most suitable combination of measurement techniques to characterise harmful inclusion populations in highly demanding steels. The different inclusion assessments carried out confirm that, chemical composition, secondary metallurgy and manufacturing route affect content, nature, size and shape of inclusions. According to the FEM model, inclusions produce an alteration of the stress field in their surrounding region, which can promote a fatigue failure. Experimental work on fatigue testing has demonstrated that depending on the stressed direction fatigue failures in highly demanding steels could be produced by different types of inclusions. Fractography analyses confirmed that meso-inclusions harmful in fatigue cannot be rated by standard methods, nor 10 MHz ultrasonic testing (macro) or micro-cleanness assessments. The necessity of rating these meso-inclusions has led to critical evaluation of Extreme Value Analysis according to ASTM E2283-08 and the development of high frequency immersion ultrasonic testing. EVA methodology based on inclusion width can be applied reliably when principal stress is parallel to the rolling direction. On the contrary, if inclusions are testing in the elongated directions its fails. On the other hand, the guidelines and recommendations for high frequency ultrasonic testing have been compiled in a new European standard draft. This method based on focal beam probes and high-resolution devices is able to provide information on meso-inclusion distribution.
