Many industrial applications require a material joint of DSS. Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is relatively easy to use, requires little space and allows automated welding, with very high reproducibility and is therefore excellent for welding DSS. During solidification of these steels, critical phase ratios of α and γ can occur, leading to solidification cracking, susceptibility to corrosion, lower ductility, and critical strength values. Therefore, to obtain the desired material properties, the α/γ distribution must be reliably predicted. This is usually done using the WRC1992 diagram. However, the prediction accuracy of the ferrite content in this diagram is usually not accurate enough and must therefore be optimized. It is therefore necessary to monitor even the smallest changes in the chemical composition of the weld metal, ideally during welding. This is done in these experiments using Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). A major advantage of this technique is the highly accurate time- and spatially-resolved measurement of chemical composition during welding. Previous work has quantified the chemical composition in the weld metal and heat affected zone. In the presented study, the influence of individual elements, such as Nb and Cu, on the resulting weld microstructure is investigated.

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) would offer a time and spatially resolved, almost non-destructive, measurement of hydrogen at surfaces. We could already show that this analysis technique allows for highly accurate in situ measurements of chemical compositions of e.g. Mn, Cr and Ni during welding e.g. in the melt pool, the weld metal or the heat affected zone. For quantitative LIBS measurements of hydrogen in steel, certified reference materials with different hydrogen concentrations were used for calibration. There is a significant problem in welding steels: A critical combination of diffusible hydrogen, hardness microstructure and weld residual stresses can cause cold cracks to form in the weld microstructure. We investigated hydrogen in steels, which was loaded either electrochemically or with high-pressure hydrogen gas. Subsequently, various experiments were conducted to verify the feasibility of hydrogen measurements with LIBS. For example, depth profiles of hydrogen distribution could be obtained. Furthermore, samples were water jet cut and a line scan was made over the cross section to obtain a spatially resolved representation of the hydrogen. Total hydrogen concentrations were determined using carrier gas hot extraction. Our results show that LIBS is a promising technique for time and spatially resolved measurement of hydrogen in steels.

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is particularly well-suited for this purpose due to the ability to achieve highly reproducible automated welds. However, during solidification of the weld pool, critical phase ratios of ferrite (α) and austenite (γ) may occur, leading to solidification cracking, increased corrosion susceptibility, lower ductility and critical strength values. Hence, in order to achieve the desired material characteristics, it is crucial to accurately predict the α/γ phase ratio within the weld. Conventionally, the WRC-1992 diagram is employed for this purpose. In our study, we used Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) to track alterations in the chemical composition of the weld metal on the surface throughout the welding process. One significant benefit of this method is its capability to provide precise and real-time measurements of chemical compositions during welding, both temporally and spatially. In previous investigations, we could develop routines to quantify the measurement of chemical compositions within the weld metal and the Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ). The conducted research focuses on examining the alterations in chemical concentrations of specific alloying elements, namely Cu and Mn as γ-forming elements, and Nb and Cr as α-forming elements, during welding. These changes are measured in real-time using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). To achieve this, both the ferrite number, determined through magnetic-inductive techniques, and the weld microstructure are analyzed. Through image-analytical methods, a correlation is established between the microstructure and the LIBS data obtained.

Many industrial applications require the integration of DSS components. For this, tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) is an excellent choice, as it allows an automated operation with high reproducibility. However, when the weld pool solidifies, critical ratios of α- and γ- phases can occur, which leads to solidification cracking, increased susceptibility to corrosion, and a decrease in ductility and critical strength. Previous studies have shown that these defects can be caused by the accumulation of manganese and chromium in the heat affected zone (HAZ), and this accumulation can be detected using LIBS. Unlike conventional LIBS analyses, which requires reference samples to generate a calibration curve, calibration-free LIBS (CF-LIBS) can determine the chemical composition solely from the emission spectrum of the plasma. Numerous publications show that CF-LIBS is a fast and efficient analytical method for quantitative analysis of metal samples. We present the results of in situ CF-LIBS analysis during TIG DSS welding. Using a new approach, it is possible to quantitatively determine the chemical composition of the weld metal directly in the welding process. The results of the CF-LIBS analysis are compared with the results of the calibration-based PLS analysis and reasonable agreement is found. Thus, the CF-LIBS method offers the significant advantage of quickly measuring in situ the concentrations of the main alloying elements that prevent the formation of welding defects, without the tedious calibration procedure.

However, since they sometimes have significant contents of expensive alloying elements such as Co or Ni, their use is only conceivable in highly stressed areas of components. For this purpose, the weldability with conventional alloys such as high-alloy austenitic steels must be investigated. In addition to the resulting microstructure, the mechanical properties are also fundamental for the usability of HEAs in DMWs. For this purpose, TIG welds of CoCrFeMnNi HEA (cold rolled and recrystallized state) with AISI 304 austenitic steel are investigated. These mechanical properties are analyzed in this work by means of tensile tests and local hardness measurement. The local strain behavior of the welded joints is also characterized by means of Digital Image Correlation (DIC). The results of the local hardness measurement show a clear influence of the initial condition of the HEA on the HAZ. Thus, the HEA in the cold-rolled condition shows a clear softening because of recrystallization processes in the HAZ. On the other hand, there is no influence on the hardness of the weld metal, which is approx. 200 HV0.1 in both cases. The tensile tests show a consistent failure of the weld in the weld metal. However, regardless of the HEA condition, strengths in the range of the recrystallized HEA (RM ~ 550–600 MPa) are achieved, although with significantly reduced fracture elongations.

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.

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.

The number of input data depends essentially on the complexity of the models employed and on the level of accuracy of the analysis. It is common practice to use safety factors in design to account for the scatter of the input parameters. Nevertheless, overly-conservative factors lead often to unrealistic estimations of fatigue life. This work presents a fracture mechanics-based model for the structural integrity assessment of welded joints under constant amplitude fatigue loading, in which the local geometry at the weld toe and the fatigue crack growth properties are considered statistically distributed. The approach is validated against a large number of experimental data.

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.

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.

These components are typically submerged arc welded (SAW) high-strength thick steel plates like the S420ML. During welding, the occurrence of delayed hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC) must be anticipated. HAC is a critical combination of the local hydrogen concentration within a susceptible microstructure under certain mechanical load, i.e., the occurring (welding) residual stresses. The welding sequence of the thick-walled plates complicate the residual stress distribution due to the necessary repeated thermal cycling, i.e., welding seam / layer deposition to fill the joint. For that purpose, SAW with two-wire-technique was used to weld a specially designed and prototype-like mock-up of a real component with a thickness of 50 mm, filled more than 20 passes and a seam length of 1,000 mm. Additional welded stiffeners simulated the effect of a high restraint, to stimulate critical HAC conditions. The necessity of a minimum waiting time (MWT) before the NDT can be conducted (to exclude HAC) was critically verified by the application of ultrasonic testing of the welded joint at different time-steps of the NDT of 48 h after welding. The residual stresses were determined by a robot XRD goniometer. Tensile residual stresses up to the yield limit are found both in the weld metal and in the heat-affected zone. Numerical modelling allowed the qualitative estimation of the hydrogen diffusion in the weld. A remarkable HAC occurrence was not identified and proves both, a certain resistance of the weld joint to HAC and the (questionable) duration of the MWT.

Die schnelle und sichere Markteinführung von Wasserstofftechnologien macht es erforderlich, dieses Thema genauer zu untersuchen. Im Allgemeinen wird dies oft als Wasserstoffversprödung bezeichnet. Daher ist es wünschenswert, eine Prüfmethode zu entwickeln, die auf einfache Weise die Materialeigenschaften unter Wasserstoffatmosphäre ermitteln kann. Derzeit werden mechanische Prüfungen unter Wasserstoffatmosphäre in Autoklaven durchgeführt. Für diese Technik ist eine aufwendige Hardware erforderlich, daher sind die Prüfungen teuer und die Prüfkapazitäten nur in geringem Umfang verfügbar.

Decreasing welding speeds with simultaneously higher heat input promote crack formation with increasing strain rate. Based on the results, a new crack criterion was finally selected which allows an extended assessment of the material behavior during the MVT-test. The threshold introduced can quantify the dependencies of the crack formation on the welding and testing parameters, which could not be comprehensively described with the conventional evaluation. In principle, the evaluation routine can also be transferred to other Varestraint or externally loaded hot cracking tests.

T1 - Hot Cracking Behavior of LTT Alloys under Variable Conditions in the Varestraint Test N2 - The use of Low Transformation Temperature (LTT) filler materials is an innovative way to reduce welding residual stresses. The generation of compressive residual stresses in the weld and heat-affected zone can lead to an improvement of the fatigue life of high-strength welds. However, high-alloy filler metals can be prone to solidification cracking. Two important LTT alloys were evaluated under variable welding and loading parameters using the Modified Varestraint/Transvarestraint (MVT) test. Initially conflicting results were interpreted using a newly developed image-based crack detection routine [1]. Based on the melt pool dimensions, the shape of the isotherms is reconstructed, and the theoretical crack growth along numerically determined crystallization paths is considered in relation to the cracks observed. Decreasing welding speeds with simultaneously higher heat input promote crack formation with increasing strain rate.

In the present study, a laboratory scale test specimen (400 mm x 400 mm x 25 mm) was used to simulate thick-walled component welds made of 13CrMoV9-10. The aim was to identify the level and distribution of residual stresses to evaluate the suitability of the specimen for laboratory based SRC testing. High restraint was ensured by the specimen geometry with a narrow welding gap in the center. This gap was filled by submerged arc welding in a multi-layer technique. Two specimens were welded with identical parameters and compared in the as-welded state and after PWHT (705 °C for 10 h). Neutron diffraction was used to determine the residual stresses in the weld metal, the heat-affected zone (HAZ) and the base material at different depths longitudinal, transverse, and normal to the welding direction. The experiments were performed on the instrument E3 of the research reactor BERII of HZB Berlin, Germany. Complementarily, laboratory X-ray diffraction was applied to characterize the surface residual stresses. In the welded state, especially in the weld metal and the adjacent HAZ, the residual stress can reach the yield strength of the untreated material. The highest levels occur in the longitudinal direction. The transverse and normal directions are characterized by residual stress of lower magnitude. As expected, the residual stress is almost completely relieved after PWHT.

T1 - Residual stress formation in DED-arc manufactured high strength steel components N2 - Additive manufacturing (AM) processes enable the efficient production of advanced constructions. Direct energy deposition processes such as wire and arc-based additive manufacturing (DED-arc) are important methods. The wire filler metals enable a wide range of materials. In addition, the arc process provides a high deposition rate compared to laser and powder-based processes. Furthermore, components can be manufactured near-net-shape, offering significant savings in cost, time, and resources. Combined with the use of high-strength steels to reduce wall or component thicknesses in the context of lightweight design, great opportunities for saving energy and resources can be achieved. In a joint project of BAM and Chemnitz University of Technology, the main influences and complex interactions of material, production process, design and processing steps on the residual stress level are investigated. The aim is to develop processing recommendations and a cold cracking test for economical processing and stress-related design of high-strength steels with DED-arc. This study focuses on residual stress analysis by neutron diffraction (ND) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) on defined test specimens. The ND analysis were performed at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and the XRD analysis at BAM. The study shows a quantitative and qualitative comparison of the residual stress magnitudes and distribution between the component bulk (ND) and surface (XRD) analyses. The ND analysis reveals that in DED-arc AM walls the residual stresses dominate in the direction of welding and are negligibly small in each case transverse to the direction of welding. The topology of the analyzed residual stresses shows almost identical residual stress maps. In addition, the residual stresses are significantly influenced by the solid phase transformation of the material due to low cooling times in the area of the top layer.

From the digital crack information, in addition to the classical results, such as Total Crack Length (TCL) and Maximum Crack Length (MCL), advanced evaluations can be applied, taking into account the loading and welding parameters. A numerical parameter study is conducted to demonstrate how the isolated variation of individual welding and loading parameters, affects the crack lengths that can potentially be expected based on the machine specifics. An alternative crack criterion is presented that evaluates the crack formation in relation to the machine behavior. Some examples demonstrate the possibilities and limitations of the approach. The criterion can be used to compare and transfer the results of different varestraint test variants.

A1 - Skrotzki, Birgit T1 - Influence of mean stress and overaging on fatigue life of aluminum alloy EN AW-2618A N2 - Fatigue tests were performed on the forged aluminum alloy EN AW-2618A in the T61 state. Different stress ratios (R = -1, R = 0.1) were selected to study the influence of mean stress on fatigue life. Two overaged states (10 h/230 ◦C, 1000 h/230 ◦C) were also tested to investigate the influence of overaging on fatigue life. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to characterize the precipitates (S-phase), which are mainly responsible for the strength of the alloy. A fractographic analysis was also performed to determine the failure mode. Overaging reduces the fatigue life compared to the T61 state. The longer the aging time, the lower the fatigue resistance. The reason is the decrease in (yield) strength, which correlates with the radius of the S-phase: the precipitate radius increases by a factor of approximately two for the overaged states compared to the initial state. The analysis of the fracture surfaces showed crack initiation occurs predominantly on the outer surface and is associated with the primary phases.

T1 - Knowledge gaps in fitness-for-service assessment procedures; summary of the 2nd ‘mind the gap’ workshop N2 - In 2015, the University of Manchester hosted a workshop (‘Mind the Gap’) aimed at identifying gaps in a number of structural integrity fitness-for-service procedures, including R5, R6, BS 7910 and API/ASME. The findings were subsequently summarised in a journal paper and shared with the relevant stakeholders. A second workshop, this time hosted by the University of Bristol in 2017, was intended to build on the findings of the earlier event, identifying which gaps had been filled, which remain and whether new ones have been identified in the meantime. ‘Mind the Gap 2’ was wide-ranging, including consideration of failure by fracture, fatigue crack growth, hightemperature creep and environmentally assisted crack growth, along with the use of innovative techniques to follow the progress of crack growth from the atomic to the macroscopic scale. A summary of the whole event is thus outside the scope of a single paper, so here we concentrate mainly on advances in fracture assessment, on the interface between inspection and ECA, and on how developments are being incorporated into structural integrity procedures. There is a particular emphasis on the energy transition in the UK, where the planned energy mix will include both nuclear power and offshore wind.

The expansion of technologies for climate-neutral energy generation is not the only important contribution to reducing greenhouse gases, the efficient use of material systems is also a key factor. In the area of plant engineering, steel components are provided with a wear-protection coating for efficient use to protect them against corrosive, tribological, thermal and mechanical stresses. The wear-protection coatings are primarily made of Co alloys, which are to be replaced by alternative materials, such as nickel alloys, because of the poor working conditions regarding the extraction of the cobalt and because of the health risks. In terms of corrosion behavior, many applications require a crack-free wear protection layer and additional machining. Machining by milling is not economical for wear materials, especially for SME because of the high tool wear, but it is essential to produce defined surfaces with high quality. Alloy modifications of the filler metals for nickel-based plasma deposition welded wear protection coatings and the use of innovative ultrasonic-assisted milling processes are examined to determine how more favorable machinability can be achieved without reducing the wear protection potential. The focus is on the NiCrSiFeB alloy, which is intended to replace CoCr alloys in the area of screw machines. The modification of hard facing layers in terms of microstructure and precipitation morphology as well as suitability for machining is investigated and compared with the CoCr alloy. In this aspect, the alloy modifications are generated by a PTA process by systematically adjusting the preheating and interpass temperatures, a crack-free wear-resistant layer can be generated, which is subsequently machined by a milling process. In addition to the crack-free properties, the microstructure, the bonding as well as the mixing between the NiCrFeB alloy and a 1.8550 as well as between the CoCr alloy and a 1.4828 are analyzed and compared in the joining areas. In addition, heating and cooling rates are determined and a chemical analysis of the weld metals is performed. This study provides important knowledge about the differences between NiCrFeB alloy and CoCr alloys in terms of microstructure morphology, bonding and mixing behavior in the joining zones to the basic material.

T1 - Neutron Bragg edge imaging for in situ mapping of crystallographic phase-transformations and of temperature distributions during GTAW of supermartensitic stainless steel N2 - In Neutron-Bragg-Edge Imaging (NBEI) experiments, we studied the phase transition during butt-welding of supermartensitic steel plates. Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) was used with a motorized torch allowing for automated weldments. The austenitization in the heat affected zone (HAZ) underneath the welding head could be clearly visualized at λ = 0.39 nm, a wavelength smaller than the Bragg edge wavelengths of both austenite and martensite. Also, the re-transformation into the martensitic phase upon cooling was detected. However, we observed an unexpected additional change in transmission at λ = 0.44 nm that is a wavelength larger than the wavelength of the Bragg edges of both the martensitic and austenitic phases. We attribute this change to the Deybe-Waller-Factor that describes the temperature dependence of coherent scattering at a crystal lattice. The observed two-dimensional attenuation map corresponds well with a temperature distribution modelling by software macros in ANSYS. Here, the absolute temperature values could be achieved by calibrating the modelled attenuation with help of a thermocouple placed at the steel plate. This allows in return for a direct two-dimensional temperature reading based on the Debye-Waller-relation between neutron attenuation and sample temperature.

Um den hohen kombinier-ten korrosiven, tribologischen, thermischen und mechanischen Beanspruchungen stand zu halten, werden auf Anwendungsfall und Stahlwerkstoff abgestimmte Verschleißschutzschichten eingesetzt. Neben der zunehmenden Forderung konventionelle Kobalt- durch Nickellegierungen zu ersetzen, wächst auch der Bedarf nach definierten Ober- bzw. Funktionsflächen hoher Güte. Aufgrund hohen Werkzeugverschleißes ist die erforderliche Fräsbearbeitung zu Herstellung der komplexen Geomet-rien der Bauteile für KMU oftmals wirtschaftlich nicht möglich. Mittels Legierungsmodifikation der Schweißzusätze für nickelbasierte plasmaauftraggeschweißte Verschleißschutzschichten und durch den Einsatz innovativer ultraschallunterstützter Fräsprozesse soll eine günstigere Zerspanbarkeit er-reicht werden, ohne das Verschleißschutzpotential zu mindern.

Plant components must increasingly withstand tribological loads in addition to high thermal, mechanical, and corrosive stresses. Such combined stresses demand high-performance alloys economically tailored to the application for wear protection and components produced as semi-finished products, via additive manufacturing (AM) or claddings via deposition welding. For instance, the protection of special components made of less cost-intensive materials, e.g., steel in process engineering for screw machines or exhaust gas separation, is feasible applying cost-intensive Ni- or Co-based hard-phase claddings. Today an increasing number of above-mentioned applications demand precise finishing machining of components to ensure defined compact surfaces with a high integrity and complex contours. Contour milling is standard process for finishing machining of metals. Especially, the desired properties of wear resistant materials (e.g., high strength, hard precipitations) imply significant challenges for milling processes and tools, leading frequently to uneconomic milling conditions due to intolerable high tool wear and surface defects. Inhomogeneous, anisotropic weld structures due to cladding or AM of wear resistance alloys lead to further deteriorations of milling processes due to unstable milling conditions and process forces during chip removal. To tackle these challenges, already several approaches exist, (1) to enhance machinability of the claddings by alloy modifications to specifically influence solidification and hard phases morphology (precipitation shape, size, distribution) and (2) to achieve significant improvements of the machining situation (e.g., increase of tool life and surfaces integrity) by means of modern hybrid machining processes such as ultrasonic-assisted milling. This contribution shows a comprehensive overview of recent results with these promising approaches for additively welded Ni- CoCr-alloys.

Neben zunehmenden Forderungen infolge des Preis- und Lieferrisikos konventionelle Kobalt- durch Nickellegierungen zu ersetzen, wächst in der Industrie der Bedarf nach definierten Oberflächen hoher Güte bzw. Funktionsflächen für die Schutzschichten. Eine für Bauteile mit komplexer Geometrie erforderliche Fräsbearbeitung ist insbesondere für KMU aufgrund hohen Werkzeugverschleißes oftmals nicht wirtschaftlich realisierbar, jedoch für viele Einsatzfälle dringend notwendig. In einem Gemeinschaftsvorhaben der BAM und des ISAF der TU Clausthal (Fosta P1550/IGF 21959 N) wird daher untersucht, wie mittels Legierungsmodifikationen der Schweißzusätze für nickelbasierte plasmaauftraggeschweißte Verschleißschutzschichten und durch Einsatz innovativer ultraschallunterstützter Fräsprozesse eine günstigere Zerspanbarkeit erreicht werden kann, ohne das Verschleißschutzpotential zu mindern. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird der Einfluss der mittels Legierungsmodifikation eingestellten Gefüge- und Ausscheidungsmorphologie auf die Zerspanung untersucht. Dies erfolgt anhand einer typischerweise für Schneckenmaschinen eingesetzte Verschließschutzlegierung zur Substitution entsprechender CoCr-Legierungen (Stellite), einer NiCrMoSiFeB-Legierung (Handelsname: Colmonoy 56 PTA). Durch metallurgische Untersuchungen und In-situ-Messung auftretender Prozesskräfte und Temperaturen an der Werkzeugschneide beim Fräsprozesses sowie der anschließenden Untersuchung von Werkzeugverschleiß und Oberflächenintegrität ist eine detaillierte Analyse und Korrelation zwischen den mikrostrukturellen Eigenschaften und der Zerspanbarkeit möglich. Die Vorgehensweise erlaubt einer Beurteilung des Einflusses der ultraschallunterstützten Fräsbearbeitung auf den Prozess sowie die resultierenden Oberflächenintegrität. Unter systematischer Anwendung dieser Methodik sowie der Berücksichtigung der Anbindung zum Stahlsubstratwerkstoff und der Wirksamkeit des Verschleißschutzes lässt sich letztlich eine gezielte Optimierung der Zerspanungssituation und des Verschleißschutzes erreichen. Die Erkenntnisse erlauben Handlungsanweisungen und Empfehlungen für Normen und Verarbeitungsrichtlinien, die besonders KMU eine sichere und wirtschaftliche Fertigung hochbelasteter Stahlkomponenten mit unkritischen, kostenreduzierten Werkstoffen ermöglichen sollen.

In that context, large diameter long-distance transmission pipelines for hydrogen will be the backbone in the European Union with service pressures from 70 to 90 bar (e.g., depending on national regulations). It is a major goal to rededicate the existing LNG infrastructure despite the necessity of new pipelines. From that point of view repairing of such transmissions pipelines via welding can be necessary. For the LNG infrastructure, it is state of the art that repair welding is conducted at pipelines under service, i.e., the LNG is still flowing as pressurized gas in the steel pipes. The reason is that a shut-down of large diameter pipelines is not so easy or sometimes impossible. In fact, as long no oxygen enters the pipeline, there would be any combustion or (in the worst case) explosion. At the moment, it is entirely open if current repair welding procedures for LNG pipelines can be transferred to pure hydrogen pipelines. In opposite to LNG, hydrogen can be way easier absorbed to the pipeline steels and diffuses through the material. If it accumulates in susceptible regions, i.e., in the welded joint, hydrogen assisted embrittlement could occur. The planned welding procedure requires a so-called preheating and maintenance of the weld joint of up to 300°C for several hours. This temperature is way higher compared to the typical service temperature of max. 40 to 50°C at operational pressures of 100 bar. In accordance to API 941, these low-alloyed pipeline steels are subjected to short-term service loads, which they are not designed for. For that reason, a collaborative project between BAM and DVGW (German Association for Gas and Water professions) was initiated in 2022 to answer the following questions by experiments and numerical simulation of: (1) How many hydrogen is additionally absorbed during the heating of the material to max. 300°C under remaining operational pressures? (2) Is the hydrogen concentration sufficient to reach a critical condition? (3) Which material and weld microstructure is the most susceptible? (4) Is there a significant difference in the repair welding behavior of LNG pipelines that had been already in use for long-term? (5) Which welding parameters and joint dimensions must be ensured for safe repair welding repair of typical pipelines? For that reason, the present study gives an overview on the current practice in repair welding of in-service pipelines, the industrial importance of this topic for the hydrogen-based energy transition and summarizes first results.

The majority of materials used to date are typically welded for component fabrication. In that context, steels are widely applied and can be prone to hydrogen embrittlement. For the evaluation of any hydrogen effect on, for example, the mechanical properties of a welded metallic material, the hydrogen content must be precisely determined. According to ISO 3690, carrier gas hot extraction (CGHE) can be used. In addition to the pure quantification of hydrogen, thermal desorption analysis (TDA) with varied heating rates can be used to determine and evaluate the bonding state at microstructural defects in the material. For both techniques, experimental and measurement influences have to be considered, which have a great effect on the result. For CGHE, for example, ISO 3690 suggests different sample geometries as well as minimum extraction times. The present study summarizes results and experiences of numerous investigations with different sample temperatures and geometries (ISO 3690 type B and cylindrical TDA samples) regarding: the influence of the sample surface (polished/welded), measurement accuracies depending on the sample volume. In particular, a deviating extraction temperature to the set temperature, can significantly falsify the measurement results. Based on the results, methods are shown to quickly reach the desired extraction temperature without having to physically interfere with the measurement equipment. This serves to substantially improve the reliability of hydrogen measurement through increased signal stability and accelerated hydrogen desorption. In general, an independent temperature measurement with dummy samples for the selected heating procedure is advisable to exclude possible unwanted temperature influences already before the measurement. In addition (and way more important), the methods described can be transferred directly to industrial applications.
