T1 - Ignition behavior of methane-oxygen mixtures at elevated conditions N2 - Self-ignition behavior of mixtures of methane and oxygen was investigated in a temperature range from 600 to 800°C. Variations of mixture composition, inert gas content, temperature and filling rate of the ignition autoclave were carried out in order to establish process boundaries for high temperature partial oxidation processes. The tests show that considerably high methane contents are needed to avoid an ignition. Heating-up tests show that ignition is possible at surprisingly low temperatures. This can be attributed to pre-ignition reactions that produce more instable intermediates.

T1 - Influence of build‑up height on residual stresses in additive repair and modification using DED‑Arc with high‑strength filler metals N2 - Directed energy deposition (DED)-Arc is suitable for the hybrid additive manufacturing, modification and repair of large metal components with high deposition rates. Residual stresses and distortion are of central importance when characterizing the manufactured components and the sensitive transition area between additive manufactured (AM) component and semifinished product. Residual stresses caused by the thermal cycles during the manufacturing process can impair the mechanical properties of the manufactured parts and can lead to component failure, especially for high-strength steels. Therefore, understanding and controlling residual stresses, when combining different base and feedstock materials, is critical to improve the quality and efficiency of the hybrid DED-Arc process. This article deals with the influence of the build-up height on the residual stress distribution of additively manufactured components with a selected base and feedstock material from commercial high-strength steels. Using a robot-assisted DED-system and a controlled short arc, AM welding experiments were carried out with close to the application parameters at working temperature (200 °C) and heat input (650 kJ/m). Five hybrid AM specimens (AM wall on upright structural steel plate) were produced using a one bead per layer strategy and selected AM-wall heights between 15 and 300 mm. The influence of the AM build height on the longitudinal residual stress in the whole hybrid AM specimen (in welding direction) was analyzed and discussed. All experiments exhibit comparable stress distributions in the area of the substrate plate up to the heat-affected zone (HAZ) and the transition zone, regardless of the building height. The height significantly influences the residual stress distribution of the deposited AM-component. Tensile residual stresses with a maximum range between 300and 400 MPa were always found in the last approx. 18 component layers (upper 40 mm). This is due to restraint of the shrinking of the top layers by the layers below. The lower layers show homogeneous residual stress distributions characterized by low compressive stresses due to the process-related tempering during the deposition of each layer on top of each other. As a result, the significant difference between the various AM build-up heights of the hybrid AM specimens is the extent (or height) of this tempered zone with low compressive stresses. These correlations contribute to the understanding of residual stress development with increasing structure height or ratio of component heights of substrate semi-finished product and AM component in hybrid additive manufacturing.

T1 - Untersuchung vorgespannter Brückenplatten unter Verkehr mit zerstörungsfreien Prüfverfahren N2 - Der Untersuchung von vorgespannten Brückenplatten bzw. Fahrbahnplatten kommt angesichts ihrer direkten Belastung durch Verkehr und der Gefahr durch Tausalzeintrag infolge von Schäden an der Abdichtung eine tragende Rolle bei der Planung von Instandsetzungsarbeiten zu. Da diese Bauteile direkt befahren werden, ist der Einsatz zerstörungsfreier Prüfverfahren (ZfPBau-Verfahren) sinnvoll, wobei deren Anwendung nur einen begrenzten Eingriff in den Verkehr verursachen sollte. In diesem Beitrag werden neben dem großflächigen Einsatz von Radar von der Brückenoberseite aus, d. h. durch den Fahrbahnbelag hindurch, Detailuntersuchungen von der Brückenunterseite mithilfe von Bauwerkscannern beschrieben. Diese Scanner verwenden sowohl Radar als auch Ultraschall mit ihren komplementären Verfahrenseigenschaften, wobei deren Möglichkeiten und Grenzen aufgezeigt werden. Abschließend wird eine Strategie zur Kombination von ZfPBau-Verfahren sowie deren gezielter großflächiger Einsatz in Abgrenzung zu kleinflächigen Detailuntersuchungen beschrieben. N2 - The investigations of pre-stressed bridge decks and carriageway slabs, considering their direct exposure to traffic and threat of ingress of de-icing salt as a result of damage of the seal, plays a major role in the planning of repair work. Since these building elements are driven directly, the usage of non-destructive testing (NDT methods) is useful where the application should cause only a limited intervention into traffic. In this paper, in addition to the large-scale measurements with radar from the outer side of the bridge, which is through the road surface, detailed studies of the bridge base with the help of on-site scanners are described. These scanners use radar and ultrasonic with their complementary properties. The possibilities and limitations are discussed here. Finally, a strategy for combining NDT methods and their specific large-scale applications in a distinction to small-scale detailed studies is described.

T1 - Integration of experimental facilities: a joint effort for establishing a common knowledge base in experimental work on hydrogen safety N2 - In the area of hydrogen safety, research facilities are essential for the experimental investigation of relevant phenomena, for testing devices and safety concepts, as well as for the generation of validation data for the various numerical codes and models. Within the framework of the European HySafe Network of Excellence (NoE), the 'Integration of Experimental Facilities (IEF)' activity has provided basic support for joint experimental work. Even beyond the funding period of the HySafe NoE in the 6th Framework Program, IEF represents a long-lasting effort for the sustainable integration of experimental research capacities and expertise of the partners from different research fields. In order to achieve a high standard in the quality of experimental data provided by the partners, emphasis was put on the know-how transfer between the partners. On the one hand, documentation on the experimental capacities was prepared and analyzed. On the other hand, a wiki-based communication platform was established, supported by biannual workshops covering topics ranging from measurement technologies to safety issues. Based on the partners' contributions, a working document was created on best practice including the joint experimental knowledge of all partners with regard to experimental set-ups and instrumentation. The paper gives an overview of the IEF partners and the network activities over the last five years.

T1 - Ultra-thin SiO2 on Si IX: absolute measurements of the amount of silicon oxide as a thickness of SiO2 on Si N2 - Results from a study conducted between National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) for the measurements of the absolute thicknesses of ultra-thin layers of SiO2 on Si are reported. These results are from a key comparison and associated pilot study under the auspices of the Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance. ´Amount of substance´ may be expressed in many ways, and here the measurand is the thickness of the silicon oxide layers with nominal thicknesses in the range 1.5-8 nm on Si substrates, expressed as the thickness of SiO2. Separate samples were provided to each institute in containers that limited the carbonaceous contamination to approximately < 0.3 nm. The SiO2 samples were of ultra-thin on (100) and (111) orientated wafers of Si. The measurements from the laboratories which participated in the study were conducted using ellipsometry, neutron reflectivity, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy or X-ray reflectivity, guided by the protocol developed in an earlier pilot study. A very minor correction was made in the different samples that each laboratory received. Where appropriate, method offset values attributed to the effects of contaminations, from the earlier pilot study, were subtracted. Values for the key comparison reference values (agreed best values from a Consultative Committee study) and their associated uncertainties for these samples are then made from the weighted means and the expanded weighted standard deviations of the means of these data. These results show a dramatic improvement on previous comparisons, leading to 95% uncertainties in the range 0.09-0.27 nm, equivalent to 0.4-1.0 monolayers over the 1.5-8.0 nm nominal thickness range studied. If the sample-to-sample uncertainty is reduced from its maximum estimate to the most likely value, these uncertainties reduce to 0.05-0.25 nm or ~1.4% relative standard uncertainties. The best results achieve ~1% relative standard uncertainty. It is concluded that XPS has now been made fully traceable to the SI, for ultra-thin thermal SiO2 on Si layers, by calibration using wavelength methods in an approach that may be extended to other material systems.

T1 - Bauwerkscanner zur automatisierten und kombinierten Anwendung zerstörungsfreier Prüfverfahren im Bauwesen N2 - Bereits seit vielen Jahren stehen Anwendern der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung im Bauwesen (ZfPBau) zuverlässige Geräte zur Untersuchung von Betonbauteilen zur Verfügung. Viele dieser Geräte zeichnen eine Messgröße in Bezug zum Messort auf und sind je nach Ausstattung in der Lage, die Ergebnisse in einem Koordinatensystem darzustellen. Doch erst die Kombination verschiedener ZfPBau-Verfahren an einer Messfläche erlaubt den maximalen Informationsgewinn über die innere Konstruktion von Stahlbeton- und Spannbetonbauteilen. In dem Beitrag wird ein Bauwerkscanner zur automatisierten und kombinierten Datenaufnahme beschrieben, der erstmals die Kombination von Radar, Ultraschall und Wirbelstrom mit Datenausgabe in einem einheitlichen Koordinatensystem ermöglicht. Dieser Scanner ist im Gegensatz zu früheren Systemen technikerbasiert und erlaubt im Bedarfsfall eine spätere detaillierte Auswertung durch ZfP-Spezialisten. Die Ergebnisse werden bildgebend in frei wählbaren Schnitten dargestellt, was bereits kurze Zeit nach der Messung auf der Baustelle möglich ist. Am Beispiel eines Brückenträgers wird gezeigt, wie der tatsächliche Spanngliedverlauf aus Messdaten ermittelt wird und dem angenommenen Verlauf gemäß Bestandsplan gegenübergestellt wird. Damit kann künftig eine Überprüfung von Bestandsplänen durchgeführt werden. Darüber hinaus könnten nicht vorhandene Bestandspläne rekonstruiert werden. Des Weiteren wird am gleichen Brückenträger gezeigt, wie sich ein echter Verpressfehler und im Unterschied dazu ein Luftspalt in einem Hüllrohr in Messdaten abbilden. An dem Beispiel wird deutlich, wie Ultraschallergebnisse in Kombination mit Phasenauswertung zur Formulierung von Verdachtsstellen für Verpressfehler eingesetzt werden können und welche Maßnahmen zur Verifizierung getroffen werden müssen.

These films were investigated using angle-resolved and excitation energy resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ARXPS and ERXPS, respectively) in order to determine their sub-surface chemical profiles. These two techniques enable one to tune the “XPS 95%” information depth, z 95%, by varying either the angle or the excitation energy. Using a combination of both techniques, z 95% can be varied continuously from 0.7 to 11 nm. The surface-near chemistry is investigated using both high-resolution C 1s spectra and elemental concentrations derived from elemental peak intensities. Results show that while laboratory XPS, and even ARXPS, suggest homogenous surface chemistries, the novel combination of ARXPS and ERXPS points to the existence of a compositional profile in the extreme outer surface layer. Our conclusions are supported by simulations using SESSA software.

T1 - Implementing a Structural Health Monitoring system using digital models of the BAM large drop test facility in Horstwalde N2 - At the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) full scale specimens for nuclear transport and storage containers (casks) are tested for their structural integrity in a series of drop tests on the Test Site Technical Safety in Horstwalde, 50 km south of Berlin. These drop tests cause a major stress not only on the casks, but also on the steel tower structure of the test facility, itself. The load pattern makes the structure very interesting for detailed investigation. The focus of the monitoring lies on the bolted joints of the flange connections that are a typical connection for cylindrical elements if welding is technical or economical unfavorable. The definition of the monitoring takes was done by investigating the existing documents and inspection results accompanied by building an initial digital representation of the structure, consisting of two finite element (FE) models and a geometrical 3D point cloud representation. As a first step the structures behavior during static and dynamic loading was analyzed using measurement data and an updated numerical FE Model. The idea behind is to use models for a digital planning and operation/evaluation of the structural health monitoring. A static FE simulation and a dynamic FE simulation are generated, to investigate how the structure behaves under the load conditions.
