T1 - Synthesis and phase purity of the negative thermal expansion material ZrV2O7 N2 - Synthesis of pure, homogeneous, and reproducible materials is key for the comprehensive understanding, design, and tailoring of material properties. In this study, we focus on the synthesis of ZrV2O7, a material known for its negative thermal expansion properties. We investigate the influence of solid-state and wet chemistry synthesis methods on the purity and homogeneity of ZrV2O7 samples. Our findings indicate that different synthesis methods significantly impact the material's characteristics. The solid-state reaction provided high-purity material through extended milling time and repeated calcination cycles, while the sol-gel reaction enabled a “near-atomic” level of mixing and, therefore, homogenous phase-pure ZrV2O7. We confirmed purity via X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, highlighting differences between phase-pure and multiphase ceramics. These analytical techniques allowed us to distinguish subtle differences in the structure of the material. Based on ab initio simulated phonon data, we were able to interpret the Raman spectra and visualise Raman active atom vibrations. We show that phase purity enables the unbiased characterisation of material properties such as negative thermal expansion.

Traditional methods often struggle to balance these two parameters, especially in situ applications where rapid data acquisition is essential to capture specific dynamic processes. For quantitative image data analysis, using monochromatic X-rays is essential. A double multilayer monochromator (DMM) is successfully used for this aim at the BAMline, BESSY II (Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin, Germany). However, such DMMs are prone to producing an unstable horizontal stripe pattern. Such an unstable pattern renders proper signal normalization difficult and thereby causes a reduction of the SNR. We introduce a novel approach to enhance SNR while preserving resolution: dynamic tilting of the DMM. By adjusting the orientation of the DMM during the acquisition of radiographic projections, we optimize the X-ray imaging quality, thereby enhancing the SNR. The corresponding shift of the projection during this movement is corrected in post-processing. The latter correction allows a good resolution to be preserved. This dynamic tilting technique enables the homogenization of the beam profile and thereby effectively reduces noise while maintaining high resolution. We demonstrate that data captured using this proposed technique can be seamlessly integrated into the existing radiographic data workflow, as it does not need hardware modifications to classical X-ray imaging beamline setups. This facilitates further image analysis and processing using established methods.

Many research initiatives and levels of significance are associated with this term. The Initiative Platform MaterialDigital (PMD), for example, aims to create a material data space filled with semantically linked data. The concept envisages that semantic relationships between the data are described as ontologies and that processing of data takes place via automated data pipelines. Various research projects from all areas of materials science are working on the implementation of this concept based on specific use cases. In the project presented here, the use case is the development of multilayer ferrite inductors as passive microelectronic components. The inductors are fabricated by ceramic multilayer technology and co-firing of metallized tapes of NiCuZn ferrite and a dielectric base material. Investigations focus on the effects of fabrication technology on the permeability of the ferrite. A data pipeline is introduced that automatically processes the unstructured experimental data into structured, machine-readable and semantically linked data. The concrete implementation of the data pipeline and a domain ontology is presented using examples. Challenges and advantages are discussed.

Achieving the desired mechanical properties requires precise control over the nanometer-sized precipitates. However, the microstructure of these alloys changes over time due to aging, leading to a deterioration in strength. Typically, the size, number, and distribution of precipitates for a quantitative assessment of microstructural changes are determined by manual analysis, which is subjective and time-consuming. In our work, we introduce a progressive and automatable approach that enables a more efficient, objective, and reproducible analysis of precipitates. The method involves several sequential steps using an image repository containing dark-field transmission electron microscopy (DF-TEM) images depicting various aging states of an aluminum alloy. During the process, precipitation contours are generated and quantitatively evaluated, and the results are comprehensibly transferred into semantic data structures. The use and deployment of Jupyter Notebooks, along with the beneficial implementation of Semantic Web technologies, significantly enhances the reproducibility and comparability of the findings. This work serves as an exemplar of FAIR image and research data management.

However, inherent process-related defects in additively manufactured material, along with the interface created between the additively manufactured and the cast base material, impact the fatigue crack growth behavior in bi-material components. This study investigates the fatigue crack growth behavior in bi-material specimens of nickel-based alloys, specifically, additively manufactured STAL15 and cast alloy 247DS. The tests were conducted at 950 °C with stress ratios of 0.1 and −1. Metallographic and fractographic investigations were carried out to understand crack growth mechanisms. The results revealed significant retardation in crack growth at the interface. This study highlights the potential contributions of residual stresses and microstructural differences to the observed crack growth retardation phenomenon, along with the conclusion from an earlier study on the effect of yield strength mismatch on crack growth behavior at a perpendicular interface in bi-material specimens.

This enables metal AM, also known as metal 3D printing, to be utilized for improving efficiency and functionality, for the production of parts with very complex geometries, and rapid prototyping. However, despite many technological advancements made in recent years, several challenges hinder the mass adoption of metal AM. One of these challenges is mechanical anisotropy which describes the dependency of material properties on the material orientation. Therefore, in this work, stainless steel 316L parts produced by laser-based powder bed fusion are used to isolate and understand the root cause of anisotropy in AM parts. Furthermore, an efficient and accurate multiscale numerical framework is presented for predicting the deformation behavior of actual AM parts on the macroscale undergoing large plastic deformations. Finally, a novel constitutive model for the plastic spin is formulated to capture the influence of the microstructure evolution on the material behavior on the macroscale.

Among these, laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) is one of the most commonly used to produce metal components. In essence, a laser locally melts powder particles in a powder bed layer-by-layer to incrementally build a part. As a result, this process offers immense manufacturing flexibility and superior geometric design capabilities compared to conventional processes. However, these advantages come at a cost: the localized processing inevitably induces large thermal gradients, resulting in the formation of large thermal stress during manufacturing. In the best case, residual stress remains in the final parts produced as a footprint of this thermal stress. Since residual stress is well known to exacerbate the structural integrity of components, their assessment is important in two respects. First, to optimize process parameter to minimize residual stress magnitudes. Second, to study their effect on the structural integrity of components (e.g., validation of numerical models). Therefore, a reliable experimental assessment of residual stress is an important factor for the successful application of PBF-LB. In this context, diffraction-based techniques allow the non-destructive characterization of the residual stress. In essence, lattice strain is calculated from interplanar distances by application of Braggs law. From the known lattice strain, macroscopic stress can be determined using Hooke’s law. To allow the accurate assessment of the residual stress distribution by such methods, a couple of challenges in regard of the characteristic PBF-LB microstructures need to be overcome. This presentation highlights some of the challenges regarding the accurate assessment of residual stress in PBF-LB on the example of the Nickel-based alloy Inconel 718. The most significant influencing factors are the use of the correct diffraction elastic constants, the choice of the stress-free reference, and the consideration of the crystallographic texture. Further, it is shown that laboratory X-ray diffraction methods characterizing residual stress at the surface are biased by the inherent surface roughness. Overall, the impact of the characteristic microstructure is most significant for the selection of the correct diffraction elastic constants. In view of the localized melting and solidification, no significant gradients of the stress-free reference are observed, even though the cell-like solidification sub-structure is known to be heterogeneous on the micro-scale.

The focus is on the AlCoCrFeNiTi alloy [3-5], synthesized by directional solidification, known for its exceptional strength and unique properties. Experimental investigations, including compression, and bending creep tests, were conducted at 750°C. Capitalizing on the inhomogeneous stress and strain distribution within a cantilever subjected to bending, we leverage this characteristic to extract multiple creep curves from a single test. Stresses at key points were determined using existing analytical solutions [5,6]. Uniaxial tests spanning 300 to 500 MPa initial stress were complemented by bending tests designed to induce similar stress levels. A detailed comparison between bending and uniaxial creep is presented, including the results of verification studies on additional alloys. This methodology not only expedites testing but also minimizes material usage, energy consumption, and manual labour. This research showcases a reliable and time-efficient approach to exploring the creep behavior of high-temperature materials. The technique is particularly advantageous for characterizing precious alloys with limited dimensions. Microstructural heterogeneity may exist in specimens tested under bending load, however, it can still be correlated to the mechanical properties with modern high-resolution characterization methods. Stress and resulting strain can be directly compared in a single specimen, ensuring uniform manufacturing, and heating history. This method eliminates the possible errors due to testing with different rigs, which could impair the accuracy of studies based on individual tests.

Based on the specifications of the ISO 12106:2017-03 standard [1] and the acquired test reports of the mechanical testing facility, a highly comprehensive process graph of the fatigue testing procedure was created. Consequently, the PROV Ontology (PROVO) and PMDco [2] were used as upper-level ontologies to model the fatigue testing ontology (FTO). A part of the FTO classes hierarchy is shown in Fig. 1, where all the concepts of test procedure, test apparatus, test piece, and test properties were respectively located in the appropriate hierarchies of pmd:Process (prov:Activity), pmd:ProcessingNode (prov:Agent), pmd:Object (prov:Entity), and pmd:ValueObject (prov:Entity) classes. FTO is publicly available via the GitLab repository [3]. Reusing these upper-level ontologies and materials testing standards not only improves FTO's compatibility with other ontologies but also ensures its acceptance and deployment in industry [4]. The fatigue testing process graph has also been designed in such a manner that it allows for the entire mapping of testing metadata. In this respect, low-cycle fatigue (LCF) experiments were carried out on several cast copper alloys at various strain ratios, and the resulting CSV test report files were stored in a public repository [5]. Eventually, the processes of mapping the experimental test data into the fatigue process graph, converting the RDF data, storage of the triples in a triple store, and SPARQL query from the obtained triples are evaluated by different PMD-based tools like PMD OntoDocker [6].

N2 - Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB/M) of AISI 316L stainless steel has gained popularity due to its exceptional capacity to produce complex geometries and hierarchical microstructures, which can increase the yield strength while maintaining good ductility. Nevertheless, owing to high thermal gradients encountered during the process, the as printed 316L stainless steel often exhibit microstructural heterogeneities and residual stresses, which can limit its performance in demanding environments. Hence, employing heat treatments which balance the reduction of residual stresses while retaining improved static strength may be beneficial in various scenarios and applications. This study investigates the impact of post-processing heat treatments on the microstructure of 316L stainless steel manufactured via PBF-LB/M, along with its correlation with micro-hardness properties. To this end, 6 different heat treatments, i.e., 450 °C for 4h, 700 °C for 1h, 700 °C for 3h, 800 °C for 1h, 800 °C for 3h, and 900 °C for 1h, were applied to different specimens and Vickers hardness measurements (HV1) were performed in all states. At 800 °C, although the cellular structure appears to be retained, there is an observable increase in cellular size. However, while treatments exceeding 900 °C indicate no significant grain growth compared to other conditions, the cellular structure is entirely dissolved, which leads to a reduced Vickers hardness. The effect of the heat treatments on other microstructural features such as grain size and morphology, melt pool boundaries (MPB), crystallographic texture, chemical segregation, dispersoids and phase stability are also discussed in the present work T2 - 4th Symposium on Materials and Additive Manufacturing CY - Berlin, Germany DA - 12.06.2024 KW - Additive manufacturing KW - Heat treatment KW - Microstructure PY - 2024 AN - OPUS4-60304 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Beygi Nasrabadi, Hossein T1 - Digital representation of materials testing data for semantic web analytics: Tensile stress relaxation testing use case N2 - This study aims to represent an approach for transferring the materials testing datasets to the digital schema that meets the prerequisites of the semantic web.

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 as they allow for machine-actionable and human-readable knowledge representations needed for data management, retrieval, and (re)use. The collaborative project ‘platform MaterialDigital’ (PMD) aims to solve digitalization tasks and implement digital solutions in the field of MSE in a prototypical manner. Therefore, the establishment of a virtual material data space and the systematization of the handling of hierarchical, process-dependent material data are focused. In this respect, selected MSE methods are semantically represented 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 presentation shows the efforts taken within PMD to store data in accordance with a testing standard compliant semantic representation of a tensile test of metals at room temperature (ISO 6892-1:2019-11). A semantic link of the corresponding tensile test ontology (TTO) and data leads to enhanced data useability and interoperability. The PMD core ontology (PMDco), developed in PMD and used as mid-level ontology in TTO, is also presented briefly. Moreover, as a best practice example, the acquisition of tensile test data with subsequent generation of knowledge graph data by semantic interconnection using TTO was realized by applying an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN). Corresponding tensile tests were performed by undergraduate MSE students at the Technical University of Darmstadt. The resulting data pipeline, also illustrated in the presentation, enabled a fully-fledged digitally integrated experimental procedure, the approach of which may be transferred to other test series and experiments. In addition to facilitating the acquisition, analysis, processing, and (re)usability of data, this also raises the awareness of students with respect to data structuring and semantic technologies in terms of education and training.

The LCF tests were performed between room temperature and 600 °C. A hot‑rolled 316L variant was tested as a reference. The mechanical response is characterized by strain-life curves, a Coffin‑Manson‑Basquin fitting, and cyclic deformation curves. The damage and deformation mechanisms are studied with X-ray computed tomography, optical and electron microscopy. The PBF‑LB/M/316L exhibits lower fatigue lives at lower strain amplitudes. The crack propagation is mainly transgranular. The solidification cellular structure seems to be the most relevant underlying microstructural feature determining the cyclic deformation behavior.

Metal coating the copper particles has been investigated in this research as an approach for increasing the laser absorption of the feedstock and processing of highly dense copper alloys with low-power lasers. CuNi3SiCr powders were coated with the thin and uniform metallic shells of Nb (60 ± 10 nm) using a rotating Direct Current Magnetron Sputtering Physical Vapor Deposition (DCMS-PVD) reactor. Using such metal-coated particles, copper parts of 98.14% relative density were printed with the PBF-LB/M parameters of 200 W laser powers, 800 mm/s scanning speed, 55 µm hatch distance, and 25 µm layer thickness. The X-ray computed tomography (XCT), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) investigations show that partial oxidation of Nb-coated particles is responsible for the development of lack-of-fusion holes between the printed layers. An approach based on the nanoindentation and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) measurements was utilized to evaluate the correlation between the crystallographic orientations and mechanical properties of the produced samples. In this approach, arrays of indentations (Fig. 1a) were applied on four planes of the samples trimmed in different directions. The EBSD images of these indentation regions reveal the location of each indent in colored grains of different orientations. Here, a microstructure with columnar grains and a high texture intensity of 9.2 has been observed in the plane perpendicular to the building direction. This plane comprises a mixture of red-, green-, and blue-colored grains, while the measured average hardness (H) and indentation modulus (Er) were increased from red grains to green and blue ones, respectively (Fig. 1b). Eventually, the nanoindentation load-displacement curves of [001], [101], and [111] grains (Fig. 1c) were utilized for modeling the elastoplastic features of the produced samples.

The bulk band gap of CdTe at the L-point amounts to 3.6 eV, with the transition marked by strong Coulomb coupling. Third harmonic generation (λ3 = 343 nm, hν = 3.61 eV) for a fundamental wavelength of λ 1 = 1,030 nm is used to control quantum interference of three-photon resonant paths between the valence and conduction bands. Different thicknesses of the CdTe QDs are used to manipulate the phase relationship between the external fundamental and the internally generated third harmonic, resulting in either suppression or strong enhancement of the resonant third harmonic, while the nonresonant components remain nearly constant. This development could pave the way for new quantum interference–based applications in ultrafast switching of nanophotonic devices.

In this rapidly advancing research field, we introduce a multifunctional nanomaterial based on the synergy between Tm3+-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) and a Cu(I) complex (CuCom). This material is designed for oxygen sensing, optical thermometry, and emission color tuning. In various concentrations, the CuCom complex was electrostatically integrated into a mesoporous silica shell surrounding the core UCNPs (UCNP@mSiO2). The optimized system, UCNP@mSiO2@CuCom-10, was evaluated for different applications. Due to the spectral overlap between the CuCom absorption and the nanoparticles emission, excitation at 980 nm allows most of the UV-blue emission output from the UCNPs to be transferred to the CuCom via luminescent resonance energy transfer (LRET), producing red emission from the molecule. The remaining Tm3+ emission enables optical thermometry, while CuCom’s sensitivity to molecular oxygen supports its application in gas sensing. In upconversion mode, the nanoplatform achieved a Stern−Volmer constant for O2 sensing of 1.64 and demonstrated thermometric relative sensitivities of 0.9% and 1% K−1 at room temperature, with a linear response from 193 to 373 K. Additionally, the emission color of UCNP@mSiO2@CuCom-10 can be tuned from blue to white and yellow, by varying the excitation and temperature, adding further functionality to the system. This multifunctional platform suggests promising applications in biology, medicine, and environmental monitoring.

The Platform MaterialDigital Core Ontology (PMDco), now in version 3.0, addresses these challenges by providing a robust mid-level semantic framework. PMDco bridges the gap between abstract high-level ontologies, such as the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) standardized in ISO/IEC 21838-2, and highly specific domain terminologies to ensure consistency and interoperability across diverse MSE applications. Developed through MSE community-based curation, PMDco facilitates the integration of real-world data from experiments, simulations, and industrial processes. This presentation will explore PMDco's role in enabling advanced digital workflows and its integration into demonstrators within the Platform MaterialDigital (PMD) initiative. Highlighted use cases include the semantic representation of tensile test data in compliance with ISO 6892-1:2019-11, utilizing the corresponding tensile test ontology (TTO) built on PMDco. Through an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN), data from experiments performed by undergraduate students were transformed into machine-actionable knowledge graphs, demonstrating the potential for education and fully digitalized experimental procedures. Additionally, a possible extension of PMDco as a linking point for semantically representing simulation data will be presented, aligning with the focus of VMAP. This includes linking experimental, simulation, and computational datasets to create comprehensive, FAIR-compliant knowledge ecosystems. By showcasing best practices in data acquisition, semantic integration, and knowledge graph generation, this presentation underscores PMDco’s versatility and its critical role in advancing digital MSE workflows.

The impact of different BF surface states - as-received (BFa), ethanol-washed (BFw), and thermally desized (BFu) on composite performance is examined through a comprehensive approach. For the first time, anionic PA6/BF composites with very low residual monomer content were successfully produced via thermoplastic resin transfer molding (tRTM). The PA6/BFw composites exhibited the highest interlaminar/interfacial shear strength in short beam shear test (52 ±8 MPa) and fiber push out test (34 ± 11 MPa) tests. Fiber microdebonding test, performed only on PA6/BFw, yielded a low interfacial shear strength (12 ± 4 MPa), which was attributed to droplet porosity resulting from concurrent polymerization and crystallization. Thermal desizing significantly deteriorated interfacial strength (19.6 ± 1.2 MPa in short beam shear test). This multi-technique characterization provides insights into optimizing the fiber–matrix adhesion in these advanced thermoplastic composites.

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) enables the rapid manufacturing of plastic, metallic and ceramic components with complex geometries. Ceramic and metallic parts formed by FFF require subsequent debinding and sintering to reach full density. Debinding and sintering are typically executed in separate steps with different equipment, necessitating extensive human handling which hinders process automation and may be challenging for the operator in isolated environments. Here an innovative approach is presented: the integration of all process steps into a single, fully automated system, streamlining the process and minimizing human involvement. Our system combines a dual extrusion filament printer with a porous and heat-resistant ceramic print bed. The porous print bed enables mechanical interlocking of the first printed layers, ensuring adhesion and structural integrity during FFF. Ceramic and metallic parts are printed onto thin sacrificial rafts, which are built using an interface material with the same binder as the loaded filament. After the print is completed, the heat-resistant print bed with all parts is transferred seamlessly with a carrier system into a high-temperature furnace for debinding and sintering. During sintering the sacrificial raft is disintegrated, allowing for unconstrained sintering and easy removal of the finished parts. In conclusion, our integrated approach enables significant advancements in the fabrication of complex ceramic or metallic components in remote environments with increased efficiency and minimal human handling.

Evaluating the Durability of Elium vs. Epoxy Glass Fibre Composites N2 - Fibre-reinforced polymers are widely used, particularly in lightweight construction, due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and versatility. The expansion of wind turbines calls for ever-lighter materials, and polymer matrix composites are well-positioned to meet this need, offering the necessary strength and long-term durability with reduced weight. However, conventional thermoset composites, such as epoxy-based systems, pose significant recycling challenges as they cannot be easily reprocessed or remoulded. A promising alternative is Elium, a novel thermoplastic resin that offers mechanical properties similar to thermoset polymers while providing the added benefit of chemical recyclability through solvolysis in acetone. This raises an important question: can a recyclable Elium composite match or even surpass the durability of a conventional epoxy composite, particularly in demanding structural applications? In our study, we compare the fatigue performance of Elium (191SA, 151-XO) glass fibre composites to conventional epoxy (RIMR 135, RIMH 137) glass fibre composites. Results indicate that Elium composites demonstrate superior fatigue resistance compared to their epoxy counterparts. The combination of enhanced fatigue durability and chemical recyclability highlights the potential of Elium composites as a sustainable alternative to conventional epoxy-based systems for long-term structural applications.

In this respect, semantic and AI technologies are paving the way for advancements in materials development, design, and optimization while leaping towards an Industry 4.0 environment. Addressing the dual challenges of quality assurance and data interoperability, this presentation examines the integration of semantic technologies and knowledge representation methods. By adhering to FAIR principles, this approach enhances data management, storage, and reuse. That way, both machine-actionable and human-understandable data structures crucial for digital research environments are fostered. This presentation focuses on the ‘platform MaterialDigital’ (PMD) initiative, which aims to support efforts from both industrial and academic sectors to solve digitalization challenges and implement sustainable digital solutions. Besides establishing structures to create virtual material data spaces, PMD develops solutions for systematizing and unifying the handling of hierarchical, process-dependent material data. Semantic technologies play a crucial role in digitalization efforts as they enable the storage, processing, and querying of data in a contextualized form. Therefore, the development and prototypical application of the PMD Core Ontology 3.0 (PMDco 3.0) tailored for materials science is highlighted. This includes the design and documentation of graph patterns that may be compiled into rule-based semantic shapes. Its integration into daily lab life is demonstrated through its application to electronic lab notebooks (ELN). This illustrates potentials of standardized protocols and automation-ready solutions for managing diverse experimental data across different sources. Outlining best practices and illustrating the possibilities that semantic technologies bring to modern labs, examples from materials processing and mechanical testing will underscore how knowledge graphs bridge the gap between data and decision-making in materials science, with potential for increased productivity and streamlined workflows across the field.

To match the patients individual anatomy of the heart, there is research for cannulas to be custom-designed and manufactured aided by 3D printing. However, cannulas have to hold very high standards with regard to the smoothness of their surfaces, as rough patches can lead to formation of blood clots. Therefore, this work uses computer vision to detect such patches as part of quality assurance. First, the produced cannula is scanned using a precise CT scanner and transformed into a 3D mesh object. Rough patches in an otherwise smooth but curved surface are detected by using cosine similarity between neighboring faces and a statistical evaluation. In the end, this method is able to raise a warning when curved surfaces are not smooth enough and visualizes the problematic patches. However, there is just limited access to test data currently and the scanner used needs to be upgraded.

T1 - Integrating custom constitutive models into FEniCSx: A versatile approach and case studies N2 - The development and integration of user-defined constitutive relationships into finite element (FE) tools using standardized interfaces play a pivotal role in advancing the capabilities of FE solvers for structural mechanics applications. While commercial FE solvers like Abaqus and Ansys have designed their interfaces to provide custom stresses, tangents, and updated history variables, the open-source solver FEniCSx remains efficient only when the constitutive update has an analytical representation. This restricts the application of FEniCSx for non-linear structural mechanics. Since FEniCSx has become a powerful and popular open-source tool for solving partial differential equations, particularly due to its automatic computation of Hessians, we aim to develop a generalized interface to enhance its capability for constitutive modeling. This approach will address complex constitutive equations that require iterative solutions at the quadrature point level. Specific implementation challenges, such as using return-mapping procedures, can then be managed commonly. The provided interface for custom constitutive models offers a versatile way to implement them in various languages, including C++, Python, Rust, and Fortran. Finally, with UMATs for viscoplastic models as an example, we demonstrate how existing user subroutines can be incorporated into the interface and utilized within the FEniCSx framework.

Given the high costs associated with carbon fibre production, recycling carbon fibres from composite waste is a desirable source of reinforcing fibres for new applications. However, current recycling methods result in recycled carbon fibres that are short with little to no orientation which can only be used in applications requiring intermediate strength at a fraction of the potential of the continuous, aligned virgin fibres. Thus, a method to recycle fibres with their original length and orientation intact is vital to truly realising a circular economy for carbon fibre polymer composites. Our research introduces a novel hierarchical composite aimed at preserving the length and orientation of carbon fibres on recycling. Virgin carbon fibres are encapsulated in an insoluble epoxy matrix to form tapes that serve as the primary units of the hierarchical structure. The primary epoxy matrix protects the fibres from chemical and environmental elements while maintaining their permanent orientation. The primary tape units are subsequently embedded in a secondary recyclable matrix polymer to make larger composite structures. Elium, a thermoplastic that dissolves in acetone and has mechanical properties comparable to epoxy, was chosen as the secondary matrix of choice in this study. This approach aims to achieve a composite that is mechanical equivalent to thermoset composites while facilitating easy recycling with minimal impact on the fibres in the primary unit.

The experimental setup comprises a corrosion chamber allowing for the circulation of an aquifer electrolyte heated to 369 K simulating a carbon capture and storage as well as geothermal power plant environment. During engineering of a carbon storage site or geothermal power plant, it may be crucial to determine the failure onset of a component beforehand. Therefore, an algorithm with 93.3% reliability was established based on splitting the measured potential values into ten time series with a capacity of ten values. The failure of corrosion fatigue specimens in a geothermal environment correlates to the drop of the curves of the electrochemical potential which is measured simultaneously within the corrosion chamber. Crack initiation was, therefore, successfully derived from the electrochemical potential.

The study mimics Solar Salt aging by intentionally adding sodium peroxide (Na2O2) and sodium oxide (Na2O) at concentrations of 0.005–0.33 wt% to investigate their role in the corrosion of austenitic stainless steel at 600 °C in typical operating conditions. Salt chemistry (nitrite, nitrate, oxide ions, and metal cations) was analyzed every 24 h, and steel corrosion after 168 h was assessed by weight change, corrosion rate, phase analysis, and cross-sectional morphology. Results reveal that at or above 0.135 wt% added Na2O2/Na2O leads to a quasi-steady-state equilibrium of oxide ions in the salt. Interestingly, at these concentrations, the presence of steel further decreases oxide ion concentration. Furthermore, above 0.135 wt%, the corrosion rate increases significantly, along with increased spallation, porosity and disintegration of the corrosion layer, forming a non-protective layer. This study highlights the critical role of oxide ions in the corrosion process.

The availability of hydrogen (H₂) as a flexible energy source in sufficient quantities is currently a central challenge. At present, hydrogen is mainly produced from fossil fuels such as natural gas, while water electrolysis only contributes 4% of total production. Less than 0.1 % of global production comes from renewable energy sources [IRE20, NN17]. Compared to the production of grey hydrogen, the production of green hydrogen with PEM electrolysers is still associated with high costs. Reducing the procurement and production costs of PEM electrolysers is therefore a key factor in realising the goals of the EU's hydrogen strategy. Around 50 % of the system costs are attributable to the system peripherals, meaning that savings can be achieved through the standardisation of system components and the use of more cost-efficient materials [Tja17, IRE20]. Currently, cost-intensive steel materials are used to guide media systems and cooling circuits in the plant periphery. Substitution by polymer materials offers a high cost-saving potential due to automated production processes and simple joining techniques. In the collaborative project ‘PolyH2Pipe’, which is being carried out by the Institute of Plastics Processing in Industry and Craft (IKV), the Welding and Joining Institute (ISF) and BAM-5.3, continuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastic (TP-FR) pipe systems are being designed, joining techniques developed and the requirements for the media piping validated.

It includes a detailed description of the required sample preparation steps and the boundary conditions of the SFPO setup. Experimental SFPO tests were carried out on PA66 GF, PPA GF35 and PA6 GF50 materials. Furthermore, a finite element model was set up to simulate the behaviour of these materials during this test. The numerical results showed that the inhomogeneous stress distribution in the fibre-matrix interphase during the test causes the measured apparent IFSS to underestimate the true strength of the interphase. The simulations put the experimental results into perspective and provide valuable information for the further development of the test setup. This study therefore not only provides new insights into the interphase strength of injection moulded short fibre reinforced thermoplastics, but also an insight into local load conditions during testing and thus an indication of the true IFSS.

Die Plattform MaterialDigital (PMD) adressiert diese Herausforderungen mit der PMD Core Ontology (PMDco), die inzwischen in Version 3.0 vorliegt. Diese mittlere Ontologieebene schafft eine Brücke zwischen abstrakten Top-Level-Ontologien wie der ISO/IEC 21838-2 standardisierten Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) und spezifischen domänenspezifischen Vokabularen. Ziel ist die Förderung semantischer Interoperabilität sowie die Nachvollziehbarkeit und Wiederverwendbarkeit von Daten entlang der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette in der MSE. Die Präsentation gibt einen Überblick über die Zielsetzung des PMD-Konsortiums, die Community-getriebene Entwicklung der PMDco sowie ihre Rolle in digitalen Workflows und Demonstratoren. Praxisbeispiele beinhalten die semantische Modellierung von Zugversuchen gemäß ISO 6892-1:2019-11 mithilfe der darauf aufbauenden Zugversuch-Ontologie (TTO) sowie die Umwandlung experimenteller Daten von Studierenden in maschinenlesbare Wissensgraphen über eine elektronische Laborbuch-Pipeline. Zudem wird die Ontologieentwicklung durch NLP-gestützte Ansätze (z. B. für Mikroskopie) sowie die Harmonisierung heterogener Datenquellen (z. B. im Orowan-Demonstrator) vorgestellt. Damit leistet PMDco einen entscheidenden Beitrag zur digitalen Zukunft der Materialforschung.

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.

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.

A Zr-based bulk metallic glass composition Zr₅₉ˏ₃Cu₂₈ˏ₈Al₁₀ˏ₄Nb₁ˏ₅ has been processed on ground and in microgravity in a compact sounding rocket payload MARS-M. Microstructure characterization was performed using electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction computed tomography, which cope with small amounts of sample materials, especially for those fabricated under microgravity conditions. Very similar microstructures and crystalline fractions are observed in sample manufactured on ground and in microgravity, which shows that process parameters of conventional laser powder bed fusion for manufacturing metallic glasses can be transferred to the processes in microgravity. Two different origins of crystallization have been identified in the Zr₅₉ˏ₃Cu₂₈ˏ₈Al₁₀ˏ₄Nb₁ˏ₅ sample. The preferred occurrence of CuZr₂ at the interlayer boundaries is likely a result of recrystallization from the undercooled melt and hence associated with laser scanning strategy. In contrast, the more uniformly distributed Al₃Zr₄ phase is considered to be triggered by the formation of Cu₂Zr₄O. Thus, for the fabrication of fully amorphous builds both on ground and in space, our findings point to higher scanning speeds and lower oxygen contents, while the latter can also be used to tune the crystalline fractions in the sample.

T1 - Temperature-Induced Phase Transitions of Vivianite: In Situ Analysis of a Redox-Driven Crystallization N2 - We document a solid-state, temperature-dependent (25−700 °C), multistage redox transformation of crystalline ferrous iron phosphate, vivianite (Fe3(PO4)2·8H2O). Under anoxic conditions, vivianite breaks down at T > 250 °C into an anhydrous, amorphous intermediate Fe3(PO4)2 phase, yet the bulk shape and morphology of the starting vivianite crystals were retained. This amorphous intermediate phase remained stable until T > 500 °C, after which a redox-dependent crystallization into two different minerals was observed. Under anoxic conditions, the amorphous ferrous intermediate (Fe3(PO4)2) transformed into the crystalline ferrous phosphate (graftonite, (Fe2+)3(PO4)2), while under oxic conditions it crystallized into a ferric phosphate (rodolicoite, Fe3+PO4). Graftonite formation occurs via an exothermic molar enthalpy (ΔHcryst) of −16.7 ± 0.2 kJ mol−1. Rietveld refinements of the two crystalline endmembers (vivianite and graftonite) revealed a unit cell volume decrease of ∼3.1% during the transformation, which was observed by in situ electron microscopic observations as an overall shrinking of the initial vivianite crystals. Despite volume loss and bubble-like features, the original vivianite shape was preserved, indicating a solid-state pseudomorphic transformation. Ex situ XRD and TEM-EELS analyses confirmed the ferrous-to-ferric oxidation, forming rodolicoite, through changes in the Fe geometry and oxidation state.

Through technological adaptations and a commitment to the FAIR principles, materials and processes are holistically addressed across entire value chains. The Platform MaterialDigital (PMD) and related initiatives are developing innovative solutions to the challenges of digitalization. The focus is on the interoperable integration of heterogeneous materials and processes data in semantically accessible data spaces. An ontological framework, based on the PMD Core Ontology and application-specific ontologies, promotes semantic interoperability of cross-domain and multi-scale (meta)data. This framework can be extended through natural language processing in a script-supported manner, as demonstrated with the Microscopy Ontology. The presentation further highlights how freely available mechanical and microstructural datasets of various aging stages of an aluminum alloy can be semantically integrated and flexibly searched. Graph-based operations enable links between processing and microstructural properties to be established, facilitating enhanced correlation analysis and pattern recognition.
