TY - CONF A1 - Holzer, Marco T1 - Fracture surface energy of glasses obtained from crystalline structure and bond energy data N2 - The search for strong and tough oxide glasses is important for making safer, environment-friendlier, thinner glasses. As fracture toughness experiments in brittle materials are complicated and time-consuming , modelling glass fracture surface energy, G, and fracture toughness, KIc, is of interest for screening promising candidates. Inspired by Rouxel´s idea of preferred crack growth along cutting weakest bonds within a glass structure and a study by Tielemann et al. , which indicates a correlation between crystal fracture surface and glass-crys¬tal interfacial energies, we present a new approach for predicting G. Combining both ideas, we used diatomic bond energies and readily available crystallographic structure data for estimating G. The proposed method assumes that G of the glass equals the surface fracture energy of the cleavage plane in its respective isochemical crystal. We calculated G- values for more than 25 iso-chemical silicate systems and compared them to calculated values from Rouxel’s widely used procedure, which is well working and based on glass densities and chemical bond energies. Not only does our model yields good agreement with [3], but it also enables an estimation for glasses with unknown density and can therefore contribute to broaden the data basis for glass property modelling tools. Most interestingly, however, this agreement indicates an interesting similarity between cleavage planes in a crystal and its corresponding glass state in terms of fracture processes.

T1 - Demonstration of the Infrastructure Use Case 02: Framework for curation and distribution of reference datasets N2 - In our current view, reference datasets in the MSE domain represent specific material properties, e.g., structural, mechanical, … characteristics. A reference dataset must fulfill high-quality standards, not only in precision of measurement but also in a comprehensive documentation of material, processing, and testing history (metadata). This Infrastructure Use Case (IUC) aims to develop a framework for generating reference material datasets using creep data of a single crystal Ni-based superalloy as a best practice example. In a community-driven process, we aim to encourage the discussion and establish a framework for the creation and distribution of reference material datasets. In this poster presentation, we highlight our current vision and activities and intend to stimulate the discussion about the topic reference datasets and future collaborations and work.

Tracked along a 300 000 s long isotherm at 0.98Tg, a Zr-based bulk metallic glass exhibits temporal fluctuations that persist throughout the entire isotherm, demonstrating a continuous heterogeneous dynamics at the probed length scale. In concert with microsecond molecular dynamic simulations, we identify intermittent cluster dynamics as the origin for temporal signatures in the corresponding intensity cross-correlations. Despite temporally heterogeneous aging, the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts functions is well suited to capture the average intermediate relaxation time regime, but at very long time scales an asymptotic power-law better describes the data. This indicates anomalous diffusion and gives overall strong evidence for temporal fractional diffusion in metallic glasses. We discuss these results in terms of the underlying structural fast and slow relaxation modes and their manifestation in the temporal form of the structural decorrelations.

This out-of-equilibrium material has a long suite of remarkable mechanical and physical properties but suffers from property deterioration via structural relaxation. As a function of time, relaxation may indeed constitute significant threads to safe applications. Consequently, relaxation of glasses has a long history across different amorphous materials and typical characterization methods promote a picture of gradually evolving and smooth relaxation, as for example obtained from mechanical spectroscopy. However, the true structural dynamics and underlying mechanisms remain far from understood and have hampered a physically informed atomic-scale picture of transport and physical aging of glasses. Here we exploit the ability to track atomic-scale dynamics with x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) and resolve an unprecedented spectrum of short- and long-term relaxation time scales in metallic glasses. Conducted across temperatures and under the application of stress, the results reveal anything else than smooth aging and gradual energy minimization. In fact, temporal fluctuations persist throughout isothermal conditions over several hundred thousand of seconds, demonstrating heterogeneous dynamics at the atomic scale. In concert with microsecond molecular dynamic simulations, we identify possible mechanisms of correlated atomic-scale dynamics that can underly the temporal fluctuations and structural decorrelations. Despite temporally heterogeneous, the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts functions is well suited to capture the average intermediate relaxation time regime, but at very long time scales an asymptotic power-law emerges. This indicates anomalous diffusion and gives overall strong evidence for temporal fractional diffusion in metallic glasses. We discuss these results in terms of the structural fast and slow relaxation modes as well as a true microstructure in metallic glasses.

In this talk, I will begin with sharing how luck, difficult decisions, fate, and family constraints affected my career path across continents, universities, the private sector, and to becoming a director at a national laboratory. This journey was certainly not planned and highlights how opportunities and compromises together allow you to make much more out of your engineering degree than you ever have dreamed of. After this unusual journey as a materials scientist, I am transitioning to the technical part of my talk, where we will discuss transport in metallic glasses. This out-of-equilibrium material has a long suite of remarkable mechanical and physical properties but suffers from property deterioration via physical aging. As a function of time, relaxation may indeed constitute significant threads to safe applications, such as a complete loss of toughness. In the search for a physical understanding of aging, we exploit here the ability to track atomic-scale dynamics with coherent x-ray scattering. Conducted across temperatures and under the application of stress, the results reveal unexpected transport. In concert with microsecond molecular dynamic simulations, we identify possible mechanisms of atomic-scale dynamics that underly physical aging of metallic glasses. We find that classical Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts behavior is only suited for the short relaxation-time regime, whereas anomalous diffusion emerges at practically relevant times. We discuss these results in terms of the structural relaxation modes and propose a picture of a true microstructure in metallic glasses.

In this respect, the quality assurance of processes and output data as well as the interoperability between applications following FAIR principles are to be ensured. For storage, processing, and querying of data in contextualized form, Semantic Web technologies (SWT) are used since they allow for machine-actionable and human-readable knowledge representations needed for data management, retrieval, and (re)use. The project ‘platform MaterialDigital’ (PMD) aims to bring together and support interested parties from both industrial and academic sectors in a sustainable manner in solving digitalization tasks and implementing digital solutions. Therefore, the establishment of a virtual material data space and the systematization of the handling of hierarchical, process-dependent material data are focused. Core points to be dealt with are the development of agreements on data structures and interfaces implemented in distinct software tools and to offer users specific support in their projects. Furthermore, the platform contributes to a standardized description of data processing methods in materials research. In this respect, selected MSE methods are semantically represented on a prototypical basis which are supposed to serve as best practice examples with respect to knowledge representation and the creation of knowledge graphs used for material data. Accordingly, this poster presentation illustrates demonstrators developed and deployed within the PMD project. Semantically anchored using the mid-level PMD Core Ontology (PMDco), they address data transformation leading to a novel data management which is based on semantic integrated data. The PMD data acquisition pipeline (DAP), which is fueled by traditional, diverse data formats, and a pipeline applying an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) as data source are displayed. Additionally, the efficient combination of diverse datasets originating from different sources is demonstrated by the representation of a use case dealing with the well-known Orowan relation. T2 - 9.

The former is generally ascribed to the structural gradient between the grain and GB. While GB segregation may be accompanied by chemical and structural variations, clear insights about the GB’s thermodynamic phase behaviour upon coupling between its chemistry and structure is lacking. Using the CALPHAD integrated density-based phase field model, we study the co-evolution of GB’s structure and segregation in Fe-Mn alloys. We found that the GB segregation transition is amplified if its structure can respond to chemical variation. Additionally, the coupling between GB structural and segregation evolution was found to enable co-existence of the spinodally formed low- and high-Mn phases within the GB. In the light of atomistic simulations, we expand on investigating the correlation between the parameters that characterise the GB density map with GB properties.

Variants of beta-alumina solid electrolyte (BASE), a promising solid electrolyte for sodium ion batteries, exhibit ion conductivities up to 5 mS/cm at room temperature, which motivates targeted research and testing [2]. Dedicated measurement cells for conductivity measurements and cycling of ASSBs are available, providing even pressure and temperature control. However, these are often costly and thus unsuitable for long-term studies with many cells. In contrast, coin cells are a practical and scalable approach for such ASSB studies, despite poor pressure control and other influencing factors that may affect the reproducibility of results [3]. This study investigates the extent to which reliable measurement data can be obtained from symmetrical Na/BASE/Na coin cells. Therefore, several testing procedures and different cell architectures are considered. The experiments are supported by an electrical equivalent circuit model. The modeling approach and both measured and numerically simulated data are presented. The coin cell results are compared to data acquired using a designated ASSB setup (CompreCell and CompreFrame by RHD).

The next steps lie on the Moon with a focus on the coming 10 years. Early lunar surface missions will establish a capability in support of lunar science and prepare and test mission operations for subsequent human exploration of Mars and long-duration human activities on the Moon. Given the extreme costs involved in the shipping of material from Earth, a prerequisite for future human exploration is the manufacturing of elements directly on the Moon’s surface. Unlike the equipment, which at the beginning will have to be brought from Earth, raw materials and energy could be available following the concept of In-Situ Resource Utilization. The ESA OSIP PAVING THE ROAD (PAVER) study investigates the use of a laser to sinter regolith into paving elements for use as roadways and launch pads thus mitigating dust issues for transport and exploration vehicles. The ESA-funded study examines the potential of using a laser (12 kW CO2 laser with spot beam up to 100 mm) for layer sintering of lunar and martian regolith powders to manufacture larger 3D elements and provide know-how for the automatic manufacture of paving elements in the lunar environment. The project contributes to the first step toward the establishment of a lunar base and will lead to the construction of equipment capable of paving areas and manufacturing 3D structures. PAVER project sets the starting point for an examination of the larger context of lunar exploration. Mission scenarios will look at different phases of lunar exploration: Robotic Lunar Exploration, Survivability, Sustainability, and Operational Phase. A proposed Technology Roadmap investigates the mission scenario and analyses how, and to which extent, laser melting/sintering will play a role in the various phases of exploration. The paper contextualizes laser sintering within selected mission scenarios and discusses the different kinds of infrastructure that can be produced at each phase of the mission. The outcome of the study includes the detailing of the TRL steps in the project and an outline of a timeline for the different elements. Covered aspects include terrain modelling such as operation pads, roadways, or towers, non-pressurized building structures to protect machinery, and habitat envelopes, to protect and shield humans against dust, micrometeoroids, and radiation.

This study presents preliminary work on the possibilities of using Al2O3 sol-gel coatings for corrosion protection of martensitic stainless steels in geothermal environments. Al2O3 sol-gel coatings were applied on UNS S42000, which is known to be susceptible to uniform and localized corrosion. The coated steel specimens were then tested in two types of artificial geothermal water, which simulate the geothermal fluids found in Sibayak (SBY), Indonesia, and North German Basin (NGB), Germany, respectively. SBY has pH 4 and 1.5 g/L of chloride ions, whereas NGB has a pH of 6 and 166 g/L of chloride ions. All experiments were carried out in autoclaves at 150 °C and 1 MPa under the deaerated condition. Evaluations were performed by investigating the surface profiles of both uncoated and coated steels before and after the corrosion test using a Laser Scanning Microscope (LSM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Finally, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) was performed to compare the corrosion resistance of Al2O3 coated steels in SBY and NGB solutions. It was observed from the corrosion test that Al2O3 coatings are more suitable for use in the geothermal water with a higher pH.

In addition, the ceramic structures made of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) shown in the figure are transparent, which makes them interesting candidates for the development of miniaturized optical components. The refractive index of YSZ measures 2,2 and is therefore considerably higher than that of polymer-based materials or glasses. The possibility of building this type of structure is enabled with the use of ceramic slurries with sufficiently high Transparency for the volumetric process of two-photon polymerization, which uses a femtosecond-short-pulse laser to structure photo-crosslinkable resins in the volume of one droplet. Slurries with even further optimized transparency allow even the application of xolography, a volumetric process that builds components with relatively low resolution, but in relatively large volumes and higher productivity. In the scope of the research presented here, for the first time, this process is applied to sintered ceramic materials. To be able to use minute ceramic structures as real components, an approach for the hybridization of processes ispresented in which components in the centimetre range, with relatively low resolution, are combined with very high-resolution nanostructures.

To transfer the light through the feedstock it needs sufficient transparency. Ceramic particles used for powder processing routes act as scattering sites and therefore hinder the light transmission, unless… The particle size and particle size distribution are chosen small and narrow enough. Particles smaller than roughly 1/10th of the light wavelength, mostly nanoparticles around 5nm size, decrease scattering vastly. This turns resins even with homogeneously distributed ceramic weight fraction of up to 80% transparent again. Feedstocks were prepared for the highly accurate two-photon-polymerization gaining the smallest yttria stabilized zirconia structures with a resolution of 500nm and unique mechanical properties. The same feedstock was applied to DLP and LCM as layer-by-layer AM-technologies for bigger parts. Hybridizing both technologies enables ceramic parts with microscopic accuracy at macroscopic dimensions. The feedstock was even applied to the volumetric Xolography with the highest transparency requirement so far and to versatile and flexible holographic AM. What are the next steps? Can those proof-of -concept studies be transferred to industrial applications and what are the hurdles on the way?

To address this challenge, the Platform MaterialDigital Core Ontology (PMDco) provides a mid-level semantic framework that bridges high-level ontologies and domain-specific terminologies. PMDco version 3.0, recently released, introduces significant enhancements based on a full alignment with the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) as standardized in ISO/IEC 21838-2. This alignment ensures conceptual consistency and facilitates integration across heterogeneous data sources while enabling FAIR-compliant workflows. First addressing the idea behind a mid-level ontology in MSE, this presentation emphasizes its role in harmonizing diverse data models and supporting machine-actionable knowledge representation. New features and design patterns introduced in PMDco 3.0 will be highlighted, which strengthen interoperability and provide reusable modeling structures for common MSE concepts. Practical applications and prototype implementations will be discussed. PMDco has been developed through active community involvement and its future evolution relies on continued collaboration and discussion within the MSE community. Participation is strongly encouraged to ensure that PMDco remains relevant, comprehensive, and widely adopted.

The X-ray beam energy must be adapted to the sample properties, such as size and density. If both strongly and weakly absorbing materials are present, the contrast to the weakly absorbing materials is lost, resulting in image artifacts and a poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). One example is a low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC), in which metal connections are embedded in a ceramic matrix and form 3-dimensional conducting structures. This article describes a method of combining SXCT scans acquired at different beam energies, significantly reducing metal artifacts, and improving image quality. We show how to solve the difficult task of merging the scans at low and high beam energy. Our proposed merging approach achieves up to 35% improvement in SNR within ceramic regions adjacent to metallic conductors. In this way, previously inaccessible regions within the ceramic structure close to the metallic conductors are made accessible. The paper further discusses methodological requirements, limitations, and potential extensions of the presented multienergy SXCT merging technique.

As traditional photolithography methods for structuring ceramic slurries do not function with 2PP, due to light scattering on ceramic particles, a novel water-based photoresist with high ceramic loading of extremely well dispersed ceramic nano particles was developed. This photoresist is basically a ceramic slurry containing a photocurable agent and a photoinitiator to be crosslinkable with the 780 nm wavelength femtosecond laser light source of the 2PP machine. It is demonstrated that it is possible to gain a highly transparent and low viscous slurry suitable for 2PP processing.
