T1 - Challenges in the Technology Development for Additive Manufacturing in Space N2 - Instead of foreseeing and preparing for all possible scenarios of machine failures, accidents, and other challenges arising in space missions, it appears logical to take advantage of the flexibility of additive manufacturing for “in-space manufacturing” (ISM). Manned missions into space rely on complicated equipment, and their safe operation is a great challenge. Bearing in mind the absolute distance for manned missions to the Moon and Mars, the supply of spare parts for the repair and replacement of lost equipment via shipment from Earth would require too much time. With the high flexibility in design and the ability to manufacture ready-to-use components directly from a computer-aided model, additive manufacturing technologies appear to be extremely attractive in this context. Moreover, appropriate technologies are required for the manufacture of building habitats for extended stays of astronauts on the Moon and Mars, as well as material/feedstock. The capacities for sending equipment and material into space are not only very limited and costly, but also raise concerns regarding environmental issues on Earth. Accordingly, not all materials can be sent from Earth, and strategies for the use of in-situ resources, i.e., in-situ resource utilization (ISRU), are being envisioned. For the manufacturing of both complex parts and equipment, as well as for large infrastructure, appropriate technologies for material processing in space need to be developed.

T1 - Energy harvesting near room temperature using a thermomagnetic generator with a pretzel-like magnetic flux topology N2 - To date, there are very few technologies available for the conversion of low-temperature waste heat into electricity. Thermomagnetic generators are one approach proposed more than a century ago. Such devices are based on a cyclic change of magnetization with temperature. This switches a magnetic flux and, according to Faraday’s law, induces a voltage. Here we demonstrate that guiding the magnetic flux with an appropriate topology of the magnetic circuit improves the performance of thermomagnetic generators by orders of magnitude. Through a combination of experiments and simulations, we show that a pretzel-like topology results in a sign reversal of the magnetic flux. This avoids the drawbacks of previous designs, namely, magnetic stray fields, hysteresis and complex geometries of the thermomagnetic material. Our demonstrator, which is based on magnetocaloric plates, illustrates that this solid-state energy conversion technology presents a key step towards becoming competitive with thermoelectrics for energy harvesting near room temperature.

T1 - Investigating the microstructure and magnetic properties of La-Fe-Si microwires during fabrication and heat treatment process N2 - In this study, the optimized fabrication and evolution of the microstructure and magnetic Transition behavior of the melt-extraction LaFe11.2Si1.8 microwires have been studied. After the optimization of extraction technique (heating power 22 KW, feeding rate 30-50 mm/s, rotation velocity 1700 r/min), the content of La Fe,Si)13 phase in the as-extracted microwires was 54 wt% due to the high solidification velocity, which was increased to 85 wt% via annealing at 1373 K for 20 min. The amount of La(Fe,Si)13 phase was increased and the composition of La(Fe,Si)13 phase became more homogenized through peritectic reaction and short-distance diffusion in the microwires during annealing process. The coexistence of the nanocrystalline and amorphous structures contributed to the broad magnetic Transition temperature range of the as-extracted and annealed microwires. The annealed microwires exhibited a second-order magnetic transformation behavior and showed a maximum magnetic entropy Change jDSMjmax of 6.2 J/kgK and working temperature interval of 36.0 K under a magnetic field of 20 kOe.

T1 - A Magnetocaloric Booster Unit for Energy-Efficient Air-Conditioning N2 - A concept for the application of a magnetocaloric device in energy-efficient air conditioners is introduced. In order to evaluate this concept, a test stand has been developed equipped with a magnetic field source providing about a 1.5-T flux density change into which different Regenerator geometries can be implemented and evaluated. A processing route for the production of profiled magnetocaloric LaFeSiMn-based composite plates by tape casting is presented. The processed plates show a maximum isothermal entropy change of about 3.8 J kg−1 K−1 at a magnetic field change of 1.5 T at 285 K. The hydraulic and thermal performance of regenerator geometries that can be realized by profiled plates is assessed by calculations.

A1 - Waske, Anja T1 - Mechanical properties of the magnetocaloric intermetallic LaFe11.2Si1.8 alloy at different length scales N2 - In this work the global and local mechanical properties of the magnetocaloric intermetallic LaFe11.2Si1.8 alloy are investigated by a combination of different testing and characterization techniques in order to shed light on the partly contradictory data in recent literature. Macroscale compression tests were performed to illuminate the global fracture behavior and evaluate it statistically. LaFe11.2Si1.8 demonstrates a brittle behavior with fracture strains below 0.6% and widely distributed fracture stresses of 180–620 MPa leading to a Weibull modulus of m = 2 to 6. The local mechanical properties, such as hardness and Young's modulus, of the main and secondary phases are examined by nanoindentation and Vickers microhardness tests. An intrinsic strength of the main magnetocaloric phase of at least 2 GPa is estimated. The significantly lower values obtained by compression tests are attributed to the detrimental effect of pores, microcracks, and secondary phases. Microscopic examination of indentation-induced cracks reveals that ductile α-Fe precipitates act as crack arrestors whereas pre-existing cracks at La-rich precipitates provide numerous ‘weak links’ for the initiation of catastrophic fracture. The presented systematic study extends the understanding of the mechanical reliability of La(Fe, Si)13 alloys by revealing the correlations between the mechanical behavior of macroscopic multi-phase samples and the local mechanical properties of the single phases KW - Nanoindentation KW - Compression test KW - Brittle fracture KW - Mechanical properties KW - Magnetocaloric effect PY - 2019 DO - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actamat.2018.11.038 SN - 1359-6454 SN - 1873-2453 VL - 165 SP - 40 EP - 50 PB - Elsevier Ltd.
