TY - CONF A1 - Blaeß, Carsten T1 - Undesired Foaming of Silicate Glass Powders N2 - The manufacture of sintered glasses and glass-ceramics, glass matrix composites, and glass-bounded ceramics or pastes is often affected by un-expected gas bubble formation also named foaming. Against this background, in this presentation the main aspects and possible reasons of foaming are shown for completely different glass powders: a barium silicate glass powders used as SOFC sealants, and bioactive glass powders using different powder milling procedures. Sintering and foaming were measured by means of heating microscopy backed up by XRD, differential thermal analysis (DTA), vacuum hot extraction (VHE), optical and electron microscopy, and infrared spectroscopy, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). Different densification was reached followed by significant foaming starting partly immediately, partly at higher temperature. Foaming increased significantly as milling progressed. For moderately milled glass powders, subsequent storage in air could also promote foaming. Although the milling atmosphere significantly affects the foaming of uniaxially pressed powder compacts sintered in air. VHE studies show that foaming is driven by carbon gases and carbonates were detected by Infrared spectroscopy to provide the major foaming source. Carbonates could be detected even after heating to 750 °C, which hints on a thermally very stable species or mechanical trapping or encapsulating of CO2. Otherwise, dark gray compact colors for milling in isopropanol indicate the presence of residual carbon as well. Its significant contribution to foaming, however, could not be proved and might be limited by the diffusivity of oxygen needed for carbon oxidation to carbon gas.

The use of glass would drastically increase the H2 barrier effect. This could be achieved with glass liners or fiber-reinforced polymer-bonded glass capillary storage tanks and would enable lower wall thicknesses, higher gravimetric storage densities and variable designs and thus a much more effective use of space. However, the decisive material parameters for the development of these technologies, such as the hydrogen permeation, are unknown. This study focuses on H2 diffusion in glasses of different chemical compositions. H2 permeation is measured by mass spectrometry. For this purpose, the mass spectrometer (MS), which is located in a high vacuum, is separated from the pressure side by the test specimen. Pure H2 gas is present on the pressure side, so that the mass flow is recorded qualitatively and quantitatively in the MS. The permeation coefficients are calculated from the sample geometry and the mass flow rates. The very low H2 permeation of glass is measured on bundles of thin-walled commercially available glass capillaries and compared with the hydrogen permeation data of the glass powder method.

The cost-intensive replacement outcomes lead to a high loss of earnings, and are one of the inhibitors of wind turbine production [1]. A potential repair alternative is to locally patch these areas of the blades with adhesively bonded structural repairs. However, the effects of such repair methods of the outer shell region on the structural integrity of the rotor blades are still largely unknown, and are thus investigated in this project. The shell components of rotor blades are made of FRP composite material sandwiching a lightweight core, often a rigid foam or Balsa wood. The repair methods involve replacing the lost load path with a new material that is joined to the parent structure [2]. Repairs in this project focus on the scarf method, which allow for a smoother load distribution across the joint, aiming to study the damage mechanism of glass FRP scarf repairs for wind turbine blade shell applications. Namely, the source and path of the damage initiation and propagation, role of the interface between parent and patch material, and the role of the fiber orientation mismatch at this interface are examined. Biaxial ±45° and 0/90° FRP specimens are produced with the vacuum-assisted resin infusion (VARI) process using E-glass non-crimp fabric. The patch layers are then joined using VARI with a scarf ratio of 1:50, using glass FRP fabric with half the areal weight of the parent side to allow for better drapability. The methods and practices in specimen production are based on common industry practice in rotor blade shell manufacturing and repairs. The specimens are tested under uniaxial tensile load, during which they are periodically monitored for damage onset. A comparison of the ±45° and 0/90° specimens allows for an understanding of the role of a highly mismatching fiber orientation in the transition zone between parent and patch material on the failure mechanism of the scarf joint. Although failure in both orientations begins as delamination at the joint edge, the difference in the mechanisms at play in the two different specimen types leads ultimately to different fracture paths. Namely, in the inter fiber failure mechanism of the ±45° specimens, the higher interlaminar strength compared to the intralaminar strength of the laminate leads to intralaminar failure of the ±45° scarf joint specimens. Alternatively, the competition in the 0/90° specimens lies between the interlaminar strength and fiber failure strength, and here we experience failure primarily across the scarf joint length. The scarf joint in the 0/90° specimens disrupts the continuity of the load-carrying 0° layers, directing the failure path to remain primarily along the scarf joint. Experimental results are compared to finite element analyses of scarf patch repairs on glass FRP sandwich specimens with the same respective layup orientations, where the damage initiation regions are identified and correlated to fiber orientation, serving as a bridge to future work which will experimentally examine the scarf repair patches on sandwich shell specimens.

Materials data are generated, transferred, and introduced at each step along the complete life cycle of a component. A reliable materials data space is therefore crucial in the digital transformation of an industrial branch. A great challenge in establishing a materials data space lies in the complexity and diversity of materials science and engineering. It must be able to handle data from different knowledge areas over several magnitudes of length scale. The Platform MaterialDigital (PMD) is expected to network a large number of repositories of materials data, allowing the direct contact of different stakeholders as materials producers, testing labs, designers and end users. Following the FAIR principles, it will promote the semantic interoperability across the frontiers of materials classes. In the frame of a large joint initiative, PMD works intensively together with currently near 20 research consortia in promoting this exchange (www.material-digital.de). In this presentation we will describe the status of our Platform MaterialDigital. We will also present in more detail the activities of GlasDigital, one of the joint projects mentioned above dealing with the digitalization of glass design and manufacturing.

Glass development, however, is still often too cost-, time- and energy-intensive. The use of robotic melting systems embedded in an ontology-based digital infrastructure might overcome these problems. As part of the German research initiative MaterialDigital [1], the joint project GlasDigital took first steps in this direction combining all main components required for accelerated data driven glass development. For this purpose, a robotic high throughput glass melting system was equipped with inline sensors for process monitoring, machine learning (ML)-based adaptive algorithms for process monitoring and optimization, novel tools for high throughput glass analysis and ML-based algorithms for glass design, including data mining as well as property and process modelling. The talk gives an overview how these tools are interconnected and illustrates their usability.

For asymmetrically bent glass beams, the loss tangent tanδ was determined between 0.2 and 50 Hz at temperatures between 273 K and the glass transition temperature Tg. It was found that the area under the tanδ vs. T/Tg curve correlates with the crack growth exponent, n, in the empirical v ~ KIn relation between crack growth velocity, v, and stress intensity, KI. This correlation was most distinct for T/Tg < 0.3, still clear for T/Tg < 0.5, but not found for T/Tg > 0.8. The observed results indicate that n correlates with the degree of energy dissipation of relaxation phenomena below Tg.

Für Silikatgläser haben wir eine gute Korrelation zwischen der berechneten Oberflächenenergie von Kristallflächen und der orientierten Oberflächenkeimbildung gefunden. Die Oberflächenenergien wurden unter der Annahme abgeschätzt, dass die Kristalloberflächen bei der Keimbildung den Kristallebenen mit minimaler Energie entsprechen, denen ein Riss beim Bruch folgt. Dieses Konzept wurde am Institut für Physik in Rennes erfolgreich bei der Berechnung der Bruchflächenenergien von Gläsern angewandt. Mehrere orientierte Keimbildungsphänomene lassen sich dadurch erklären, dass man annimmt, dass Kristalloberflächen mit hoher Energie dazu neigen, von der Schmelze benetzt zu werden. Dies minimiert die gesamte Grenzflächenenergie des Keims. Darüber hinaus werden wir die Entwicklung der Mikrostruktur beim weiteren Kristallwachstum und ihre Auswirkungen auf die bevorzugte Kristallorientierung diskutieren. T2 - 21.

This work is focused on testing the environmental stress cracking of the high-density polyethylenes used for such containers in contact with crop protection formulations, in particular, two model liquids established in Germany as standardized test media representatives for crop protection formulations containing the various admixtures typical for such products. One of the liquids is water-based and contains mostly surface-active ingredients, while the other is solvent-based and includes some emulsifiers. Originally established for pin impression tests, these model liquids and their individual components were here used for the first time as environmental media in the Full Notch Creep Test, which addresses the resistance against environmental stress cracking. The Full Notch Creep Test was carried out on five high-density polyethylene types with both model liquids, and also on one selected material with its components. The evaluation was focused on the fracture surface structures, which were visualized by a scanning electron microscope and by optical in situ imaging of the notch opening. While the water-based model liquid and its surface-active individual components induced environmental stress cracking with the characteristic pattern for a craze-crack mechanism and so-called brittle fracture on the surface, the solvent-based model liquid and its soluble ingredients exhibited rather ductile failure behavior, caused by the plasticizing effect on the polymer that reduced the yield stress of the high-density polyethylene. For both cases, fracture surface analysis, together with side views of the crack opening, showed a clear relation between surface pattern, notch deformation (e.g., by blunting), or crack opening due to crack growth with time to failure and the solubility of the liquids in high-density polyethylene.

Insbesondere in diesem Fall können mikroskopische Schäden im Material auch weit unterhalb der Streckgrenze auftreten, die durch eine Spannungskonzentration verursacht werden, deren Ursprung in intrinsischen Materialfehlern oder äußeren Kratzern liegt. Mit fortschreitender Schädigung bilden sich Rissstrukturen, die von verstreckten Fibrillen aufgespannt werden, bis es zum Versagen dieser Fibrillen kommt und sich der Riss ausbreitet. Dieser Schadensmechanismus des langsamen Risswachstums kann durch eine Vielzahl von Umgebungsmedien beschleunigt werden und wird dann als "environmental stress cracking" (ESC) bezeichnet. Eine international normierte Methode zur Validierung der Spannungsrissbeständigkeit von PE-HD Materialien ist der „Full Notch Creep Test“ (FNCT). Anhand von Bruchflächenauswertungen mittels Rasterelektronenmikroskopie und Laser-Scanning-Mikroskopie, werden die typischen Schädigungsstrukturen des ESC sichtbar. Die fibrillierten Strukturen des ESC auf der Bruchfläche von PE-HD ergeben sich besonders bei oberflächenaktiven wässrigen Umgebungsmedien. In Lösungsmittel-Umgebungsmedien, im Zusammenspiel mit PE-HD, kommt es aufgrund der plastifizierenden Wirkung zur Herabsetzung der Streckspannung und Bruchflächen aus dem FNCT veranschaulichen keine signifikanten Anzeichen des Schädigungsmechanismus ESC.

The resistance to environmental stress cracking (ESC) of the material is evaluated using the time to failure of the specimen in an aqueous solution of a detergent [2, 3]. Usually specimens made of sheets with isotropic material properties, manufactured by hot pressing, are employed in order to obtain intrinsic properties of the material in terms of ESC failure. In contrast, the processes used in manufacturing to form containers and pipes, such as extrusion blow molding or extrusion, impose anisotropic properties to the material. These are mostly due to a microstructural orientation (polymer chains or crystallites) [4]. Furthermore, the different cooling conditions significantly affect the size distribution of crystallites as well as the overall morphology. It is therefore essential to understand the influence of process-induced material characteristics on failure due to ESC. A large number of studies on material properties as a function of microstructural preferential orientation have already been conducted [5-7]. However, effects on ESC as the major failure mechanism of containers and pipes are still rather unexplored [8, 9]. The most important factor is whether primarily intramolecular high-strength covalent bonds or the substantially weaker intermolecular van der Waals forces are predominantly loaded. In addition to the widely established classification by time to failure, the strain or crack opening displacement (COD) provides valuable information about the evolution and progression of damage as a function of time [10, 11]. Optical strain measurement using digital image correlation allows the differences in COD for isotropic and different angles of orientation of anisotropic specimens to be discussed. Also, a post-fracture surface analysis provides clarification on the craze-crack mechanism of the ESC. These different ESC-related properties of extruded and hot-pressed specimens have been investigated at different environmental medium temperatures and different initial stresses to provide a broad characterization of the fracture behavior of PE-HD.

Semantic technologies play a pivotal role in this transformation, as the enable the integration, contextualization, and automation of diverse data sources across experimental, computational, and simulation domains. Central to these efforts is the Platform MaterialDigital Core Ontology (PMDco), now in version 3.0, which provides a robust mid-level semantic framework tailored for MSE. PMDco bridges abstract high-level ontologies, such as the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) standardized in ISO/IEC 21838-2, with domain-specific terminologies to ensure consistency and interoperability across applications. This presentation explores the application of PMDco and its integration into workflows within the Platform MaterialDigital (PMD) initiative. Through its deployment in electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs), PMDco enables semantic representation of experimental data, such as tensile test results compliant with ISO 6892-1:2019-11, transforming them into machine-actionable knowledge graphs. Prototypical implementations demonstrate how semantic technologies enhance laboratory processes, improve data reuse, and streamline documentation which offers opportunities for automation and education. Further extending its versatility, PMDco serves as a linking point for semantically representing simulation data, enabling comprehensive integration of experimental and computational datasets. This creates structured data spaces that support advanced digital workflows. Beyond PMDco, the presentation highlights the design of graph patterns and semantic shapes, showcasing generalizable methods for managing diverse data in MSE being based on data structuring and formatting. By presenting best practices in ontology development, data acquisition, and knowledge graph generation, this talk underscores the transformative potential of semantic technologies in MSE. It offers a forward-looking perspective on the role of structured data spaces as a driver for innovation, ensuring that materials science continues to advance through rigorous, interoperable, and automated digital methodologies.

Glass formation is possible over a wide compositional range, but the system also contains ranges of pronounced phase separation and crystallization tendency. Even small addition of Al2O3can change this behavior essentially. As the Na2OAl2O3B2O3SiO2 (NABS) system is also known as the basis for glasses in strength-relevant applications, the behavior during the transition from the NBS system to the NABS system is of interest. Therefore, some small step melt series in these systems were studied using the robotic glass melting system at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM, Division Glasses). For these series the small step changes of glass transition temperature, crystallization behavior as well as glass density were studied. Additionally, experimental data were compared with their modeled counterparts. T2 - 98.

To improve circulation, patients often undergo the Fontan procedure, which reroutes blood flow — but this can put stress on other organs. In some cases, ventricular assist devices, or VADs, are used to support the heart’s pumping function. This involves an artificial pump connected directly to the patient's heart via silicone-based cannulas. Unique anatomical conditions introduce special challenges for cannula geometry. Additive manufacturing offers innovative solutions by enabling the production of personalized medical devices. The aim of the project is to develop the manufacturing workflow for the individualized cannula from digital imaging of the patient and customized design to additive manufacturing. Besides technical feasibility, validating the entire process is crucial for regulatory approval. The selection and testing of suitable additive manufacturing processes and biocompatible materials for individualized silicone cannulas, ensuring compliance with quality standards for high-risk medical products, will be presented.

Ever shorter time to market as well as increasing demands on reduced Ag consumption and line width require the targeted development of silver-glass-pastes with increased sinter ability and electrical conductivity. As a main difficulty, however, the liquid phase sintering of silver glass pastes is poorly understood so far. In the present study, the influence of different network modifier in alkali-zinc-borate paste glasses on liquid phase sintering of silver-glass-pastes was investigated. Low melting X2O-ZnO-B2O3 glasses with X = Na, Li and Rb (abbr. LZB, NZB, and RZB) were utilized to prepare silver-glass-composites containing 30 %Vol glass. Shrinkage behavior of the silver-glass-composites compared with that of pure silver and pure glass powder compacts was studied with heating microscopy. The powder compacts were uniaxially pressed and heated at 5 K/min to the glass softening temperature. Glass transformation temperature and viscosity of the glasses were respectively measured with dilatometry and rotational viscometry. The thermal behavior of the pure glasses was analyzed with thermal analysis. Additionally, the contact angle of glass on pure silver foil was determined by means of heating microscopy between room temperature and 830 °C. Thermal analysis of the alkali-zinc-borate-glasses under study has shown transformation temperatures between 450 °C (RZB), 460 °C (LZB) and 465 °C (NZB). For all glasses crystallization was found to start approximately at about 550 °C. However, different peak areas hint on a different degree of crystallization. Conformingly, the sintering behavior, measured in terms of area shrinkage, significantly differed for the silver-pastes under study. For silver-pastes with NZB or LZB-glass, sintering starts at 464 °C for NZB Ag pastes and at 451 °C for LZB Ag pastes and ends at 597 °C for NZB Ag paste and at 594 °C for LZB Ag paste. The sintering of the RZB Ag paste proceeds between 426 °C and 703 °C. The final densification was retarded possibly due to crystallization or swelling. The low sinter onset at 426 °C seems to correlate with the good wetting behavior of the RZB glass. Thus, the lowest apparent contact angle between the just densified powder compact sintered at a silver substrate was found for this glass. Moreover, microstructure analyses of the various composites indicate differences in silver dissolution and reprecipitation.

This is mainly due to the antagonism of sintering ability and suitable bioactivity. Competitive crystallization often prevents the generation of dense sintered bodies, especially for additive manufactured 3D structures. Previous studies of the fluoride-containing glass F3 have shown its potential to combine both sintering ability and suitable bioactivity. Furthermore, the occurring sintering blockade by surface crystallization of Na2CaSi2O6 was tunable by glass particle size. In this study the glasses F3, F3-Cu with 1 mol% CuO added at the expense of CaO and the well-known 13-93 were chosen to determine the influence of surface crystallization on 3D printed sinter bodies. For this purpose, grain size fractions in range of smaller 32 µm to 315 µm in fraction size of 6-20 µm were sieved from jaw crushed glass frit as well as glass cubes were cut from casted blocks for all glasses. Sintering behavior of both pressed and printed powder compacts was observed via heating microscopy. Crystallization was determined by DTA and crystallization progress was monitored on fractured sinter bodies and polished cubes via electron and laser scanning microscopy as well as with diffractometry. Depending on grain size the formation of crystalline support framework along former grain boundaries shows the capability to stabilize fully densified sinter bodies before softening. Beside of this, the generation of complex hierarchic porosity was possible as well.

Raman und Infrarot Spektroskopie zeigen, dass die Glasstruktur weitgehend vergleichbar ist, aber Unterschiede in der Bildung von Pentaboratgruppen in LZB und NZB oder Diboratgruppen in KZB und RZB auftreten. Die Anzahl an vierfach koordinierten Bor-Ionen (N4) sinkt mit zunehmendem Alkaliionenradius. Die Verringerung von N4 führt zu einer niedrigeren Glasübergangstemperatur in der Reihe LZB (472 °C) < NZB (465 °C) < KZB (460 °C) < RZB (449 °C). Zur Herstellung der Pasten wurde kommerzielles Silber-Pulver mit 30 Vol.-% Glas und Organik gemischt. Das Sinterverhalten der gepressten Pulver wurde mittels Erhitzungsmikrospie untersucht. Der Sinterbeginn der Pasten ist vergleichbar und korrespondiert mit den geringen Unterschieden der Viskosität bei vergleichbarer Partikelgröße der Gläser. In den Ag-KZB- und Ag-RZB-Pasten ist die Schwindung durch die stärker einsetzende Kristallisation im Vergleich zu LZB und NZB verzögert.

In particular, the role of different network modifiers acting in the glass component and the question of the most suitable atmospheric oxygen level during sintering are still under considerable debate. To tackle these issues, low-melting and lead-free X2O-ZnO-B2O3 glasses with X = Li, Na, K and Rb (LZB, NZB, KZB and RZB) were prepared. Infrared spectroscopy showed that the glass structure was similar to each other, while an increase of tetrahedrally coordinated boron with increasing field strength of the alkali was evident. In turn, the glass transition temperature (from differential thermal analysis) increased in the order: RZB (449 °C) < KZB (460 °C) < NZB (465 °C) < LZB (472 °C). Powders of each glass were mixed with organics to receive silver-glass-pastes containing 30 vol% glass and these were subjected to heating microscopy in air. Although similar onset temperatures of sintering were recorded for Ag-NZB and Ag-LZB glass pastes, and for Ag-RZB paste and KZB-Ag-paste, respectively, differences in the crystallization behavior and final densification were observed between the former and the latter group. These were translated in terms of differences in silver dissolution and reprecipitation among the two groups. Further, running the experiments in nitrogen gas showed that sintering of all pastes was considerably hampered. The slow-down of the sinter kinetics was found to be in line with the assumed lower oxidation and dissolution of silver ions into the glass-forming liquid.

In all batches metallic silver precipitation took place as most of the silver nitrate was reduced to metallic silver before Ag+ ions could be dissolved in the evolving borate melts. In turn, only traces of Ag+ (<300 ppmw) were dissolved in the sodium zinc borate glass melts under study. It is assumed that the oxidation to Ag+ was limited due to poor availability of reducible oxygen in the glass melts and presence of Na2O being a stronger base than Ag2O. Thus, the precipitated metallic silver formed droplets of different sizes. The larger droplets (d > 20 µm) were already settled at the bottom of the container and remained constant in size upon dwelling for 1 h at 1050 °C of about one hour and the subsequent cooling (45 K/min) to room temperature, whereas the smaller droplets (d < 20 µm) were mobile in the borate melt due to Marangoni and Stokes motion. For the latter droplets, coalescence was observed in situ. A growth of larger droplets at the expense of smaller ones, i.e., Ostwald ripening was also expected but could not be studied with the used experimental equipment.

To investigate such underlaying phenomena, crack growth velocity in alkali silicate glasses was measured in vacuum across 10 orders of magnitude with double cantilever beam technique. Measured and literature crack growth data were compared with calculated intrinsic fracture toughness data obtained from Young’s moduli and theoretical fracture surface energy. Data analysis reveals slight correlation with the packing density and significant deviations from the intrinsic brittle fracture behavior. These deviations do not follow simple compositional trends. Two opposing processes may explain this finding: a decrease in the apparent fracture surface energy due to stress-induced chemical changes at the crack tip and its increase due to energy dissipation during fracture.

The use of robotic synthesis processes in combination with self-learning machines is intended to overcome these problems in the long term. The development of new types of glass can then not only be accelerated considerably, but also be achieved with much less effort. In this talk, data generation via a robotic high-throughput glass melting system is presented, which should be the experimental basis for the ontology developed within the project GlasDigital.

Particularly, the characterization of optical properties is not only relevant for optical/luminescent applications but is also essential for the tailored design of some medical and dental materials such as restorative resins, implants and prothesis.

N2 - Gallium fluoride phosphate glasses are interesting hosts for emissive rare-earth (RE) dopants. Despite featuring low refractive index, they present high energy radiation resistance and a wide optical transmission range (350 to 1700 nm) enabling observation of important RE3+ emissions in the visible to near-infrared spectral range. In a previous, NMR-based structural study of the system xGa(PO3)3–(40-x)GaF3–20BaF2–20ZnF2–20SrF2 (x = 5 - 25 mol%), we verified that the network structure of these glasses is dominated by P-O-Ga linkages with no P-O-P linkages and that Ga is mainly six-coordinated in a mixed fluoride/phosphate environment. For Eu3+ doped samples, the photophysical properties strongly suggest changes in the ion´s ligand distribution toward a fluoride-dominated environment at low P/F, which translates into improved radiative emissions. To extend the studies to other RE doped glasses, and glasses containing Ag nanostructures (and their influence on RE emission), we selected the composition 25Ga(PO3)3 – 20ZnF2 – 30BaF2 - (25 – x - y)SrF2 – xAgNO3 - yNdF3, where x = 0, 1, 3, 5, 10 mol% and y = 0 or 1 mol%. The glasses were synthesized through the conventional melt-quenching technique and fully characterized from the thermal, structural, and microstructural viewpoints. By appropriate heat-treatment, the presence of both Ag nanoclusters (Ag-NCs, < 10 nm) and larger nanoparticles was confirmed by TEM in agreement with the observation of broad emission bands in the visible spectrum. Excited state lifetime measurements evidence the presence of non-radiative energy transfer processes between the Ag species to Nd3+ ions but there is no direct evidence of plasmon enhancement effects. In samples singly doped with silver, direct laser writing experiments using a femtosecond laser were also performed which induced localized growth of Ag-NCs associated to a variation in the refractive index. Preliminary results indicate the potential of the DLW technique for tailoring optical glass properties.

In the present contribution the composition–structure–property relationships of Me2O–ZnO–B2O3, Me = Li (LZB), Na (NZB), K (KZB), Rb (RZB), CaO–ZnO–B2O3 (CaZB), and Li2O–PbO–B2O3 (LPbB) glasses are investigated. Non-toxic, highly polarizable zinc oxide potentially substitutes harmful lead oxide in glasses for applications e.g., in photovoltaics and microelectronics. Glass structure was analyzed using Raman and infrared spectroscopy, and the glass properties were measured using dilatometry (Tg, viscosity data, coefficient of thermal expansion) and rotational viscometry (high-temperature viscosity) [2,3]. The spectroscopic results show that alkali and calcium ions largely balance out the negative charges of BO4-units, while zinc and lead ions mainly stabilize the non-bridging oxygen atoms (NBO). The type of network modifier ion directs formation of the BO4-containing groups and the number of BO4-units (N4). Thus, i.) BO4-containing pentaborate was assigned in LZB, NZB and CaZB glasses, and ii.) diborate in KZB and RZB glasses. Simultaneous presence of pentaborate and diborate was only detected in LPbB. The combination of modifier’s properties, i.e., lower Lewis’s basicity (Rb+ > Li+), higher field strength (Rb+ < Li+), lower polarizability (Rb+ > Li+), and steric effects with increasing size (Rb+ > Li+) [4], leads to slightly increasing N4 in the series RZB (0.36) ≈ KZB < NZB (0.37) < LZB ≈ CaZB (0.39). This increase in N4 results in an increase in the atomic packing density 0.519 (RZB) – 0.584 (LZB) and thus in the Young’s Modulus 38.1 GPa (RZB) – 92.5 GPa (LZB) and in the glass transition temperature (Tg) 444 °C (RZB) – 467 °C (LZB) in the alkali series. In reverse order the coefficient of thermal expansion decreases from 12·10-6 K-1 (RZB) – 8.54·10-6 K-1 (LZB) with increasing N4. Ca2+ in CaZB enhances the viscosity (Tg: 580 °C) compared to Li+ in isocompositional LZB due to higher coordination. On the other hand, Pb2+ in LPbB decreases the viscosity (Tg: 399 °C) compared to Zn2+ in LZB with similar molar fractions.

On the one hand, it has to deal with orchestrating and managing complex and task-specific hardware through low-level communication protocols and plan and use the available resources as efficiently as possible while executing (parallelized) workflows, on the other hand, it is the interface the users use to communicate with this highly complex platform, and as such, it needs to be as helpful and user-friendly as possible. This includes the AI-aided experimental design in which the system helps the user to decide which experiment to run next, providing automated data analysis from characterization measurements, and offering easy to understand tools and graphical user interfaces for generating the workflows that are executed on the platform. Lastly, the specificity of the workflows and their dependence on the hardware and software of the SDLs necessitates a common description or ontology for making them easily interchangeable and interoperable between different platforms and labs. In this contribution, we present several key aspects of “Minerva-OS”, the central backend that orchestrates the syntheses workflows of our SDL for Nano- and Advanced Materials Syntheses [1]. One key feature is the resource management or “traffic control” for scheduling and executing parallel reactions in a multi-threaded environment. Another is the interface with data analysis algorithms from in-line, at-line, and off-line measurements. Here, we will give examples of how automatic image segmentation of electron microscopy images with the help of AI [2] can be used for reducing the “data analysis bottleneck” from an off-line measurement. We will also discuss, compare, and show benchmarks of various machine learning (ML) algorithms that are currently implemented in the backend and can be used for ML-guided, closed-loop material optimization in our SDL. Lastly, we will show our recent efforts [3] in making the workflow generation on SDLs more user-friendly by using large language models to generate executable workflows automatically from synthesis procedures given in natural language and user-friendly graphical user interfaces based on node editors that also allow for knowledge graph extraction from the workflows. In this context, we are currently also working on an ontology for representing the process steps of the workflows, which will greatly facilitate the semantic description and interoperability of workflows between different SDL hardware and software platforms.

These complex alloys often exhibit superior characteristics compared to conventional alloys, including enhanced strength and hardness, exceptional wear resistance, high structural stability, and strong resistance to oxidation. Despite these promising characteristics, the vast compositional space of HEAs means that only a limited number have been thoroughly investigated for their mechanical and chemical behavior. One notable example is the refractory high-entropy superalloy AlMo0.5NbTa0.5TiZr, which represents a newly emerging class of materials. This alloy features a nanoscale microstructure composed of B2 and bcc phases, resulting in compressive strength at elevated temperatures that surpasses that of conventional Ni-based superalloys. Such performance offers potential benefits for improving turbine efficiency in aerospace and energy generation applications. However, the alloy’s microstructure is known to be sensitive to annealing. Specifically, its mechanical properties deteriorate when intragranular hexagonal Al-Zr-based intermetallic compounds form, likely due to issues with phase stability. On the other hand, the inclusion of Al has been shown to enhance oxidation resistance. Nevertheless, HEAs are also known to develop pronounced internal aging zones caused by diffusion during oxidation processes. These findings indicate a need for further investigation into the thermodynamic stability of this alloy. In addition, its oxidation behavior—both at the surface and within the material—remains incompletely understood. This ongoing research explores the oxidation behavior of the AlMo0.5NbTa0.5TiZr alloy at temperatures ranging from 800 °C to 1000 °C. The influence of water vapor on the oxidation process is also examined. Ultimately, the goal is to integrate insights into the alloy’s structural, mechanical, and chemical characteristics at high temperatures.

Manufacturing defects, surface roughness, microstructural features, short and long crack fatigue propagation, residual stresses and applied loads can be taken into consideration in a fracture mechanics-based fatigue assessment. Many aspects are crucial to the reliable component life prediction. Among those a prominent role is played by an accurate measurement and modelling of the short crack fatigue behavior, and reliable statistical characterization of defects and residual stresses. This work aims at addressing the issues related to both experimental testing, fatigue and fatigue crack propagation, and fracture mechanics-based modelling of fatigue lives.

For polyethylene (PE) this is relevant for mass products, like bottles for consumer products, but also for high-performance materials for pipes or industrial packaging, including containers for chemicals and other dangerous goods. Especially for high-density polyethylene (PE-HD) the susceptibility to SGC and ESC is depending on the complex interplay between molecular weight and architecture and the resulting semicrystalline morphology, especially the formation of tie-molecules. A reliable assessment of the resistance against this damage phenomenon is essential for demanding as well as safety-critical applications and has to take into account suitable testing methodologies and conditions in combination with environmental media reflecting the properties representative for typical fillings and relevant components causing ESC. In this context a better understanding of different influencing factors, such as sorption, swelling or surface activity is necessary together with a detailed characterization of different stages of crack propagation and underlying mechanisms. Therefor well-established testing methods, such as the Full Notch Creep Test (FNCT), were complemented by detailed fracture surface analysis using e.g. LSM and SEM in combination with a time-dependent optical monitoring of the progressing crack growth. For the crack growth also the ratio of fibrillated craze zone to crack opening is important for the deeper understanding of crack propagation and related material parameters which can be additionally addressed by X-ray computed tomography.

Additionally, zinc oxide is partially substituted by lead oxide or cooper oxide in the borate glasses (Li2O-PbO-B2O3, Na2O ZnO CuO-B2O3). The alkali zinc borate glasses indicate less differences in Raman spectra, and thus in structural properties, in comparison to the Ca and Pb ions influence. LPbB (Tg = 401 °C) has a lower viscosity than LZB (Tg = 468 °C) and CaZB has the highest glass transition temperature (Tg = 580 °C). The Angell plot for the alkali zinc borate glasses shows a high fragility m = 80. Besides Tg, the density measured by means of the Archimedean principle, molar volume, and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the glasses were investigated. Trends could be found according to alkali ions or intermediate oxides. The density increases with decreasing alkali ion size from KZB (2.632 g/cm3) to LZB (2.829 g/cm3) and increases from LZB to LPbB (3.764 g/cm3). CTE ranges between 7.09 10-6 K-1 for CaZB and 11.5 10 6 K 1 for KZB and RZB. The differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X ray diffraction (XRD) indicate crystallization of various crystalline phases during heating with 5 K/min in most cases. T2 - 94.

This study focuses on the correlation of microstructure, lattice misfit and creep properties. The compositionally complex alloy Al10Co25Cr8Fe15Ni36Ti6 (in at. %) was tuned with high melting trace elements Hf and W. The microstructure consists of a γ matrix, γ' precipitates and the Heusler phase and it is accompanied by good mechanical properties for high temperature applications. The addition of 0.5 at.% Hf to the Al10Co25Cr8Fe15Ni36Ti6 alloy resulted in more sharp-edged cubic γ′ precipitates and an increase in the Heusler phase amount. The addition of 1 at.% W led to more rounded γ′ precipitates and the dissolution of the Heusler phase. The shapes of the γ' precipitates of the alloys Al9.25Co25Cr8Fe15Ni36Ti6Hf0.25W0.5 and Al9.25Co25Cr8Fe15Ni36Ti6Hf0.5W0.25, that are the alloys of interest in this paper, create a transition from the well-rounded precipitates in the alloy with 1% W containing alloy to the sharp angular particles in the alloy with 0.5% Hf. While the lattice misfit has a direct correlation to the γ' precipitates shape, the creep rate is also related to the amount of the Heusler phase. The lattice misfit increases with decreasing corner radius of the γ' precipitates. So does the creep rate, but it also increases with the amount of Heusler phase. The microstructures were investigated by SEM and TEM, the lattice misfit was calculated from the lattice parameters obtained by synchrotron radiation measurements.

Both alloys were initially single-phase fcc with a mean grain size of ~ 50 μm and a homogeneous chemical composition. The oxide layer thickness of CrMnFeCoNi increased linearly with exposure time while it remained constant at ~ 1 μm for CrCoNi. A Cr2O3 layer and minor amounts of (Co,Ni)Cr2O4 developed on the latter while three oxide layers were detected on the former, i.e., a thin and continuous chromium rich oxide layer at the oxide/alloy interface, a dense (Mn,Cr)3O4 layer in the center and a thick and porous layer of Mn3O4 and MnSO4 at the gas/oxide interface. Additionally, a few metal sulfides were observed in the CrMnFeCoNi matrix. These results were found to be in reasonable agreement with thermodynamic calculations.

Here, the e-beam-induced transformation of precursor microparticles employing a low-energy e-beam with an acceleration voltage of 30 kV in a scanning electron microscope is developed to increase the versatility and efficiency of the technique. Under these conditions, the technique can be classified between e-beam lithography, where the e-beam is used to mill holes in or grow some different material onto a substrate, and e-beam welding, where matter can be welded together when overcoming the melting phase. Modifying gold microparticles on an amorphous SiOx substrate reveals the dominant role of inelastic electron-matter interaction and subsequent localized heating for the observed melting and vaporization of the precursor microparticles under the electron beam. Monte-Carlo scattering simulations and thermodynamic modeling further support the findings.

Das Material weist hohe Festigkeit und Korrosionsbeständigkeit auf, zugleich ist mit anisotropen Eigenschaften die mechanischen und betrieblichen Eigenschaften beeinflussen zu rechnen. Vorläufige Ergebnisse lassen vermuten, dass weitere Untersuchungen notwendig sind, um die Fähigkeiten und Grenzen des Materials genau zu bestimmen. Es wird ein systematischer Ansatz mit Array- Prüfköpfen, Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD) Technik und mikrostrukturellen Untersuchungen angewendet, um die Wechselwirkung zwischen Anisotropie und Mikrostruktur des Stahls zu analysieren. Ultraschallprüfungen mit der TOFD-Technik und in Tauchtechnik liefern Einblicke in das anisotrope Verhalten des Werkstoffes, einschließlich entsprechenden Kornorientierung, Dämpfung und Schallgeschwindigkeitsvariation. Diese Messungen führen in Verbindung mit mikrostrukturellen Analysen zu einem tieferen Verständnis des Materialverhaltens. Unser Hauptziel ist es, ein Framework zu erstellen, welches die Ultraschallantwort anisotroper Materialien mit ihren mikroskopischen Struktureigenschaften verbindet. Die vorgestellte Methodik ermöglicht eine zerstörungsfreie und zügige Bewertung der Materialintegrität, was besonders bei der Anwendung von Hochleistungsmaterialien relevant ist. Durch diesen integrativen Ansatz werden verschiedener Charakterisierungsmethoden kombiniert, um ein umfassenderes Materialverständnis zu erreichen.

Bei über 30.000 WKA in Deutschland verursacht dies jährlichen Kosten von 100-200 Mio. €. Zu 70% sind die Ursachen Fertigungsfehler. Diesem Themenkomplex widmet sich FB-5.3 in Kooperation mit FBs der Zerstörungsfreien Prüfung (Abt. 8) schon seit Jahren. Im aktuellen Projekt geht es um einen vorzeitigen Verschleiß der Rotorblätter infolge der Verwendung gealterter Glasfaser-Rovings. (GF). Die Entwicklung moderner Windkraftanlagen hatte in Europa seinen Ursprung in den 90er Jahren. OEMs und GF-Hersteller waren dicht beisammen. Die Globalisierung des Marktes führt heute zu einer weltweiten Verschiffung der GF in feucht-warmen Containern. Je nach Beschaffenheit (Chemie) der Schlichten (Oberflächenbehandlung) von GF können diese stark altern (Hydrolyse-Effekte) und die Festigkeit kann im Bauteil um bis zu 50% abgemindert sein. In einer Kooperation mit der Rotorblattallianz, einem Zusammenschluss der OEMs, Halbzeugherstellern und Forschungsinstituten, wurden schon vor 5 Jahren in einem Forschungsprojekt (FB-5.3; VH 5538) die chemischen Mechanismen der Alterung exemplarisch für eine Glasfaser-Roving-Type aufgeklärt. Im aktuellen Projekt (FB-5.3; VH 5304) wird ein beschleunigtes Alterungsverfahren (erhöhte Temperatur und Feuchte) am Roving im un-impregnierten Zustand entwickelt und die Festigkeit nachfolgend nach Einbettung in eine Epoxid-Harz-Matrix bestimmt. Je nach Alterungszustand zeigt sich eine Abnahme der Zwischenfaserbruchfestigkeit von bis zu 50%. Nicht alle Glasfaser-Roving-Typen zeigen diesen Effekt. Es ist gelungen für OEMs und Halbzeughersteller ein handhabbares Verfahren zur innerbetrieblichen Qualitätssicherung zu entwickeln, da die wenigsten Firmen über komplexe Analyseverfahren, wie an der BAM, verfügen.

Spezifischer wird die Ermittlung zyklischer R-Kurven untersucht. Diese beschreiben den Aufbau des Widerstands gegen Ermüdungsrisswachstum - d.h. des Schwellenwertes - aufgrund von Rissschließeffekten bei physikalisch kurzen Rissen. Mit Hilfe der zyklischen R-Kurven kann die Fähigkeit eines Bauteils, physikalisch kurze Risse zu arretieren, charakterisiert werden. Wir verfügen damit über eine Schnittstelle zwischen klassischer Ermüdung und Bruchmechanik. Das ist gerade auch für additiv gefertigte (AM – Additive Manufacturing) Materialien von Interesse. Diese weisen prozessintrinsische Defekte auf, die als Initiierungsstellen kurzer Ermüdungsrisse agieren. Im Rahmen der experimentellen Untersuchungen wurden zyklische R-Kurven für konventionellen und LPBF AISI-316L-Stahl ermittelt. Insbesondere wurde der Einfluss verschiedener Wärmebehandlungen (WB1: 450°C, WB2: 800°C und WB3: 900°C) auf das Wachstumsverhalten physikalisch kurzer Risse im LPBF-Material untersucht. Aufgrund hoher Eigenspannungen war die Ermittlung des Kurzrisswachstumsverhaltens bei WB1 nicht möglich. Für WB2 und WB3 ergaben sich sehr unterschiedliche zyklische R-Kurven. Untersuchungen der Eigenspannungen, der Bruchfläche (insbesondere der Rauheit) und der Mikrostruktur sollen die Ursachen für das unterschiedliche Verhalten erklären. Die Ergebnisse werden mit den Verhältnissen in konventionellem Material verglichen.
