Auf der anderen Seite geht mit dieser Festigkeitssteigerung im Vergleich zu Vergütungsstählen ein Verlust an Duktilität und Zähigkeit einher. Am Beispiel des Demonstratorbauteils Achsschenkel ging das Forschungsvorhaben der Frage nach, wie ein Freigabeprozess zu gestalten ist, damit das Festigkeitspotenzial der neuen Stähle zuverlässig ausgenutzt werden kann. Als Ergebnis wird eine Vorgehensweise dargestellt, die den Eigenschaften der neuen Generation von Schmiedestählen Rechnung trägt, um den sicheren Betrieb der Komponenten zu gewährleisten.

T1 - Design of representative specimens for the characterization of the fatigue properties of metallic components fabricated by PBF-LB/M N2 - The process-structure-property-performance relationship is a fundamental paradigm in metal additive manufacturing (AM). The knowledge of how process parameters and post-process treatments influence the material properties and therefore the structural integrity of additively manufactured metallic components is of paramount importance. With respect to this, one of the unsolved problems related to the unique AM process is the reliability of witness samples for part qualification. Focusing on the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB/M) process, the microstructure and therefore the mechanical performance of test coupons are not representative of parts of the same material in every case. This work summarizes part of the results of an ongoing cooperation between BAM and BASF, which aims at addressing this issue by designing dedicated specimens, representative of the fatigue properties of the real component. The considered case study consisted in the fabrication and characterization of the fatigue properties of a pressure vessel made of AISI 316L. The first phase of the project was devoted to the process monitoring to understand the relationship between process parameters and temperature distribution during the fabrication of the component. Finite element models were tuned on the experimental data from the process monitoring and simulations of the temperature field in the component were conducted. The numerical results were in good agreement with the temperature profiles measured during the fabrication of the component. The second phase dealt with the evaluation of the fatigue and fatigue crack propagation properties on specimens extracted from different regions of the pressure vessel. The experimental investigations showed significant differences in hoop and longitudinal direction. A clear dependence of the fatigue properties on heat accumulation (temperature distribution) and defect size was pointed out. The third phase encompassed the fabrication and testing of the representative specimens. Numerical simulations were used to design specimens displaying the same temperature profile as in the most critical region of the component. The fatigue testing of the representative specimens is subject of ongoing work. T2 - 8.

Nevertheless, its determination is associated with a large number of fatigue tests carried out on specimens with artificial defects (notches) to describe the fatigue limit-defect size relationship in the short crack regime. The preparation of the specimens and the execution of the tests is time expensive. Therefore, few phenomenological models have been introduced in the past to provide a first approximation of the KT diagram based solely on the fatigue limit for smooth specimen and the fatigue crack propagation threshold for long cracks. Despite the use of such models is widely spread, these suffer from problems related to the uncertainties of the material parameters. Furthermore, the mechanics of short cracks, which is the physical mechanism behind the concept of the fatigue limit, is not considered. This work discusses the advantages and drawbacks of using short fatigue crack propagation models for predicting the fatigue limit of flawed metallic materials. The KT diagrams for a EA4T railway axle steel in as-received and full-hardened condition are approximated by means of the cyclic R-curve method.

T1 - Prediction of the fatigue limit of additively manufactured metallic materials N2 - Structural alloys are largely employed in key industrial sectors and their demand is predicted to rise rapidly for the next decades. Most of these materials require a large amount of energy for extraction and manufacturing, which causes the emission of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Therefore, strategies for improving the sustainability of structural metallic alloys are urgently needed. Additive Manufacturing (AM), in particular Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB/M), aims to be a sustainable manufacturing process, as it allows the build-up of complex geometry in near net-shape from 3D models, while minimizing material waste and the energy required for the process and post-process treatments. Nevertheless, the application of additively manufactured parts in structural safety-relevant applications is still hindered by the poor fatigue performance. The cause of this has been mainly attributed to the presence of manufacturing defects and surface roughness. Therefore, a huge effort has been made to optimize the process parameters and to introduce post-process treatments to minimize the defect content. However, material flaws cannot be fully eliminated, but these can be considered in a damage tolerance framework for the prediction of the fatigue performance of additively manufactured metallic materials, which is essential for part design and qualification. This work aims at presenting different modelling strategies for the prediction of the fatigue limit of AM metals. Simple empirical models and more complex models based on fatigue short crack propagation are proposed. The investigated material is an AlSi10Mg alloy fabricated by PBF-LB/M and subjected to two different low-temperature heat-treatments (265°C for 1 h and 300°C for 2h). The results show that the models can provide good approximation of the fatigue limits and help in the interpretation of the scatter of fatigue data.

T1 - Approach for the probabilistic fatigue assessment of welded joints based on the local geometry of the weld seam JF - Fatigue and Fracture Engineering Materials and Structures N2 - Welded joints show large variation of the weld toe geometry along the weld seam, which is one important reason for the comparably large scatter in fatigue life. Therefore, it is crucial to take the local geometry at the weld toe into account, to reduce the conservatism in fatigue assessment of welded joints. This study is based on the IBESS procedure for the calculation of the fatigue strength, whereby the evaluation of local geometrical parameters is carried out by means of 3D surface scans. The approach is validated against 26 fatigue test series. The fatigue life is in general overpredicted, whereas good agreement is achieved for high stress ratio (R = 0.5). A sensitivity analysis conducted with IBESS shows that weld toe radii ρ < 2 mm and flank angle α < 30° have a significant influence on the calculated fatigue strength. In contrast to this, no strong correlation between ρ and the fatigue strength was determined experimentally in this study.

T1 - Ermittlung des intrinsischen Schwellenwerts und dessen Validierung als Werkstoffparameter T2 - Forschung für die Praxis P 1263 / IGF-Nr. 20530 N N2 - Die Anwendung bruchmechanischer Methoden zur schadenstoleranten Bauteilauslegung ist für zyklische Lasten im Bereich der Paris-Geraden Stand der Technik. Technisch relevant sind jedoch häufig geringere Lasten im Schwellenwertbereich der d𝑎/d𝑁-Δ𝐾-Kurve. Aufgrund des großen Einflusses von Rissschließeffekten ist dessen Bestimmung jedoch nicht nur aufwändig, sondern auch potenziell fehlerbehaftet. Die Bauteilauslegung erfolgt zweckmäßigerweise auf der Basis effektiver, d. h. rissschließkorrigierter Rissfortschrittsdaten. Von großer Bedeutung ist auch der intrinsische Schwellenwert, unterhalb dessen keine Risserweiterung mehr eintritt. In diesem Forschungsprojekt erfolgte eine Untersuchung des Einflusses verschiedener Prüfverfahren und Umgebungsbedingungen auf die Ermittlung des Schwellenwerts gegen Ermüdungsrissausbreitung Δ𝐾th. Es wurden statistisch abgesicherte Empfehlungen zur experimentellen Ermittlung des intrinsischen Schwellenwerts Δ𝐾th,eff abgeleitet. Dieser dient auch als Eingangsparameter einer weiterentwickelten Prozedur zur Bauteilauslegung auf der Basis bei einem Lastverhältnis von 𝑅 ≈ 0,8 ermittelter, effektiver, Rissfortschrittsdaten. Es zeigte sich, dass die bei einem Lastverhältnis von 𝑅 ≈ 0,8 in Laborluft bei höherer Prüffrequenzen (≥90 Hz) ermittelten Schwellenwerte eine konservative Abschätzung des intrinsischen Schwellenwerts erlaubten. Bei Lastverhältnissen 𝑅 ≪ 0,8 wurde ein teilweise stark ausgeprägter Einfluss extrinsischer Effekte auf das Rissfortschrittsverhalten festgestellt. Eine Untersuchung der Bruchflächen ergab Oxidschichtdicken in der Größenordnung mehrerer hundert Nanometer. Bei Reduktion der Prüffrequenz auf ≈55 Hz und Prüfung in feuchter Luft (60 % r.F. und 80 % r.F.) konnte auch bei 𝑅 = 0,8 Rissschließen beobachtet werden. Die weiterentwickelte Prozedur zur Bauteilauslegung auf Basis effektiver Rissfortschrittsdaten lieferte aber stets konservative Ergebnisse in einem tolerierbaren Fehlerbereich und ist deshalb zur Anwendung geeignet. Die im Projekt gewonnenen Erkenntnisse tragen zu einer robusten Bauteilauslegung auf bruchmechanischer Basis bei. Der stark reduzierte Versuchsumfang bei Nutzung effektiver Rissfortschrittsdaten gegenüber der Ermittlung von spannungsverhältnisabhängigen Rissfortschrittskurven beschleunigt und vereinfacht die Bauteilauslegung auf Basis bruchmechanischer Methoden.

T1 - Extension of the peak stress method to estimate the fatigue limit of welded joints by means of the cyclic R-curve method JF - Theoretical and applied fracture mechanics N2 - A new simplified and effective method has been formalised to estimate the Constant Amplitude Fatigue Limit (CAFL) of stress-relieved steel welded joints subjected to uniaxial push–pull loading and failing from the weld toe. Starting from the sharp V-notch assumption of the NSIF approach and the cyclic R-curve of the material in the heat affected zone, the proposed method identifies the CAFL as threshold level of the local stress field at the V-notched weld toe in the uncracked configuration. Such threshold stress field assures the crack arrest at the V-notched weld toe, according to the cyclic R-curve analysis. The method has been validated against experimental results and proved effective for a straightforward assessment of the CAFL of welded joints, as the stable crack propagation analysis of classical fracture mechanics approaches can be avoided.

The model is also used to explain the effect of fabrication defects on the scatter of experimental data. This demonstrates that short crack growth models represent a suitable engineering tool for the fatigue assessment of defective AM materials.

Laser-based Powder Bed Fusion AlSi10Mg alloys exhibit in the as-built condition a fine fibrous Si structure and a supersaturated solid solution of Si in the α-Al matrix, which is significantly modified by heat treatments starting already at temperatures under 260 °C. This study focuses on the influence of post-process heat treatments on the microstructural evolution and the resulting fatigue crack growth resistance. As compared to the as-built condition, two heat treatments at 265 °C/1 h and at 300 °C/2 h are found to be beneficial to the fatigue crack growth resistance of the investigated material.

A1 - Zerbst, Uwe T1 - Fraucture mechanics-based probablistic structural integrity assessment for aero-engine turbine disk N2 - Aero-engine turbine disks are safety-relevant components which are operated under high thermal and mechanical stress conditions. The aim of this work is to present part of a fracture mechanics-based probabilistic assessment procedure under development which aims at calculating the critical rotational speed of the turbine disk based on the numerical-analytical solutions and regulations for the failure probability. In particular, the rim-peeling failure mode is considered as case study. A semi-circular surface crack is modelled at the most stressed region at the diaphragm of a turbine disk. In order to design a lab representative specimen, beside the crack driving force, expressed in terms of J-integral, also the constraint to plastic deformation e.g., stress triaxiality, at the crack-tip must be similar for the same crack in the specimen and in the disk. The analytical solutions to calculate the crack driving force for the lab representative specimen are used for the Monte Carlo simulations, the result of which has been assessed in the form of a Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD). The results of the probabilistic structural integrity assessment show good agreement between Monte Carlo simulations and certification values for the disk in terms of expected failure mode and value of the critical speed.
