TY - CONF A1 - Darvishi Kamachali, Reza T1 - Interfacial Spinodals N2 - Despite their finite spatial extent, interfaces can have profound impacts on microstructure properties. This is because of their distinct phase-like properties distinguishing them from the adjacent homogeneous bulk structure. When noticed by solute atoms, interfaces can experience their own chemical phase changes. In this talk, we investigate the constrained states of chemically decomposed phases at interfaces. A density-based theory of interfaces is proposed to describe the confined chemical decomposition at general grain boundaries. Here the grain boundary is viewed as a lesser dense, defected structure with reference to the corresponding bulk structure. Using this picture, the thermodynamic origins of interfacial spinodal phenomena are revealed. We also show that transient interfacial spinodals can be activated over a large alloy composition range, enabling kinetic engineering of interfacial chemistry.

We present a novel end-to-end manufacturing system designed to produce dense, functional, and geometrically complex ceramic parts using Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) with minimal human intervention. Our system enables the automated production of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) components by integrating printing, debinding, and sintering into one streamlined process and thus eliminating the need for multiple specialized machines. Our system combines a dual extrusion filament printer with a porous and heat-resistant ceramic print bed. The porous print bed allows for mechanical interlocking of the first printed layers, ensuring adhesion and structural integrity during FFF. YSZ components are printed onto sacrificial polylactide (PLA) rafts, which serve as a temporary foundation. Once printing is finished, a furnace unit is seamlessly lowered, enclosing the green parts for debinding, and sintering. During firing the PLA raft is disintegrated, enabling unconstrained sintering and easy final part removal. In conclusion, our integrated solution enables localized, on demand fabrication of geometrically complex ceramic components in remote environments with increased efficiency and minimal human handling.

All experiments were performed in the laboratory using autoclaves at 150 ◦C and 1 MPa in deaerated condition for 1 and 7 days. Results showed that the pH of geothermal waters is the most detrimental factor in the transformation of ɣ-Al2O3 and its protective abilities. Delaminations were found in the Coating exposed to geothermal brines with pH 4. FTIR spectra indicated a transformation of ɣ-Al2O3 to boehmite AlOOH after exposure to pH 4 and 6, and bayerite Al(OH)3 was formed after exposure to pH 8. Different Crystal structures of the hydrated Al2O3 also contribute to the stability of the coatings, observed by the SEM- EDX of the surface and cross-section of coatings. This study indicated that ɣ-Al2O3 sol-gel coating presents a promising aspect of corrosion protection in geothermal environment with a neutral pH.

Binder jetting, a powder-based AM technology, can in principle generate thick-walled parts with a low amount of organics and with high productivity. However, this technology is often not capable of handling the fine powders required as raw materials for most technical ceramics. In this context, the "layerwise slurry deposition" (LSD-print) has been developed as a layer deposition method using water-based ceramic slurry feedstocks, enabling binder jetting also for advanced ceramic materials. LSD-print thus combines the high-speed printing of binder jetting with the possibility of producing a variety of high-quality technical ceramics. Perspectives and limitations of the LSD-print will be presented, with focus on achieving short debinding cycles and high productivity.

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) enables the rapid manufacturing of ceramic components with complex geometries. 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. This poster presents an innovative approach: 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 parts are printed onto thin sacrificial rafts, which are built using an interface material with the same binder as the ceramic 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 of the ceramic parts and easy removal of the finished parts. In conclusion, our integrated approach enables significant advancements in the fabrication of complex ceramic components in remote environments with increased efficiency and minimal human handling.

The application of these techniques to most ceramics has been difficult so far, because of the challenges related to the deposition of homogeneous powder layers when using fine powders. In this context, the "layerwise slurry deposition" (LSD) has been developed as a layer deposition method enabling the use of powder bed AM technologies also for advanced ceramic materials. The layerwise slurry deposition consists of the layer-by-layer deposition of a ceramic slurry by means of a doctor blade, in which the slurry is deposited and dried to achieve a highly packed powder. Not only very fine, submicron powders can be processed with low organics, but also the dense powder bed provides excellent support to the parts built. The latest development of this technology shows that it is possible to print ceramic parts in a continuous process by depositing a layer onto a rotating platform, growing a powder bed following a spiral motion. The unique mechanical stability of the layers in LSD-print allows to grow a powder bed several centimeters thick without any lateral support. The continuous layer deposition allows to achieve a productivity more than 10X higher compared to the linear deposition, approaching a build volume of 1 liter/hour.

(0.2 – 20 mm/a) Condensation of acids and therefore droplet formation is always possible, even at low water contents. A low SO2 content within the CO2-stream might be more important than a low water content. Cr13-steels showed a general susceptibility to shallow pitting and pitting. So, they seem to be not suitable for CCUS applications. Low alloyed steels showed better corrosion behavior (predictable uniform corrosion).

EDS element line scan analysis of the 20-week-exposed metal/mortar coupon showed Chloride distribution, which still not reached the metal/mortar interface, explaining no pitting was observed. It was confirmed that FeCO3 cannot protect the steel surface in CO2 saturated NGB. To verify the protective possibility of passivation happened on casing steel/mortar interface, simulated pore solution was synthesized and used to passivate the steel for 42 days. OCP and EIS confirmed the formation of passive layer. The 42 day passivated layer was broken during the first minute of exposure in CO2 saturated NGB. However, due to high concentration of Ca2+, a new carbonate CaCO3 dense layer was formed, increased the corrosion resistance of steel surface.

But to transfer the light through the feedstock it needs sufficient transparency at the used light wavelength. Ceramic particles used for powder processing routes act as scattering sites and therefore hinder the light transmission, unless… The particle size and particle size distribution are chosen small and narrow enough. Particles which are smaller than roughly 1/10th of the light wavelength, mostly nanoparticles around 5nm size, decrease scattering vastly. This turns resins even with homogeneously distributed ceramic weight fraction of up to 80% transparent again. Feedstocks could be prepared for the highly accurate two-photon-polymerization gaining the smallest yttria stabilized zirconia structures with a resolution of 500nm and unique mechanical properties. The same feedstocks could be applied to DLP and LCM as layer-by-layer AM-technologies for bigger parts. Hybridizing both technologies lead to ceramic parts with microscopic accuracy at macroscopic dimensions. The feedstock was even applied to the volumetric Xolography with the highest transparency requirement so far and to versatile and flexible holographic AM. Highly filled nano-particle containing transparent ceramic feedstocks open the way for technical ceramics in high precision manufacturing where the performance and durability and accessibility are increased and created by the unique ceramic properties such as mechanical strength, chemical and thermal resistance and biocompatibility T2 - 2025 International Conference on Additive Manufacturing Technology Frontiers and Applications CY - Xi'an, China DA - 11.04.2025 KW - Tranparent KW - Ceramic KW - Additive manufacturing PY - 2025 AN - OPUS4-65069 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Zocca, Andrea A1 - Wilbig, Janka A1 - Waske, Anja A1 - Günster, Jens A1 - Widjaja, Martinus Putra A1 - Neumann, C.

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

Powder bed fusion and binder jetting especially are leading AM technologies for metals and polymers, thanks to their high productivity and scalability. The application of these techniques to most ceramics has been difficult so far, because of the challenges related to the deposition of homogeneous powder layers when using fine powders. In this context, the "layerwise slurry deposition" (LSD) has been developed as a layer deposition method which enables the use of powder bed AM technologies also for advanced ceramic materials. The layerwise slurry deposition consists of the layer-by-layer deposition of a ceramic slurry by means of a doctor blade, in which the slurry is deposited and dried to achieve a highly packed powder layer. This offers high flexibility in the ceramic feedstock used, especially concerning material and particle size. The LSD technology can be combined with binder jetting to develop the so-called “LSDprint” process for the additive manufacturing of ceramics. The LSDprint technology combines the high-speed printing of binder jetting with the possibility of producing a variety of high-quality ceramics with properties comparable to those achieved by traditional processing. In this presentation, the LSD process will be introduced and several examples of application ranging from silicate to high-performance ceramics will be shown. Recent developments towards the scale-up and industrialization of this process will be discussed, alongside future perspectives for the multi-material additive manufacturing.

Three innovative approaches will be introduced to overcome this problem: 1. Layer wise slurry deposition: The use of water based ceramic slurries as feedstock for the additive manufacture of ceramics has many advantages which are not fully exploit yet. In the layerwise slurry deposition (LSD) process a slurry with no or low organic content is repetitively spread as thin layers on each other by means of a doctor blade. During the deposition, the ceramic particles settle on the previously deposited and dried material to form thin layers with a high packing density (55-60%). The LSD therefore shares aspects both of tape casting and slip casting. The LSD differentiates from the classical powder-based AM layer deposition, which typically achieves with a flowable coarse grained powder a low packing density (35-50%) only, consequently hindering the ability of sintering ceramic parts to full density. The LSD is coupled with the principles of selective laser sintering (SLS) or binder jetting, to generate novel processes which take advantage of the possibility of achieving a highly dense powder-bed. 2. Laser induced slip casting: Contrary to the LSD process, which requires drying of each individual layer, the direct interaction of ceramic slurries with intense laser radiation, for the laser induced slip casting (LIS), is a promising approach for the additive manufacture of voluminous parts. 3. Gas flow assisted powder deposition: By the application of a vacuum pump a gas flow is realized throughout the powder bed. This gas flow stabilizes the powder bed and results into an enhanced flowability and packing density of the powder during layer deposition. The presentation will provide a detailed discussion of potentialities and issues connected to the mentioned technologies and will describe the most recent developments in their application to technical ceramics.

Crucial points for a sustainable and future-proof CCUS procedure are reliability and cost efficiency of the whole process chain, including separation of CO2 from the source, compression of CO2, its subsequent transportation to the injection site and injection into geological formations, e.g. aquifers. Most components that are in contact with CO2-stream consist of steel. Depending on the operating conditions (e.g. temperature, pressure, and CO2-stream composition) specific suitable steels should be used. The compressed CO2-stream is likely to contain process specific impurities; small amounts of SO2 and NO2 in combination with oxygen and water are most harmful. One approach, as currently preferred by pipeline operators, is to clean the CO2-stream to such levels, acceptable for carbon steel, commonly used as pipeline material. Another consideration would be, to use more corrosion resistant alloys for CO2-streams with higher amounts of impurities. Due to the absence of certified benchmarks for upper limits, systematic experiments with impurities in the CO2-stream were carried out reflecting mainly transport and injection conditions. Within the COORAL project (German acronym for “CO2 purity for capture and storage”) levels of impurities in the CO2-stream, being acceptable when using specific steels, were evaluated. Material exposure to dense or multiphase carbon dioxide (CO2) containing specific amounts of water vapor, oxygen (O2) sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO) can be a challenge to steels. In some situations, condensation of impurities and reaction products from the CO2 stream can occur. CO2 saturated brine is supposed to rise in the well when the injection process is interrupted. The material selection shall ensure that neither CO2 nor brine or a combination of both will leak out of the inner tubing. This COORAL-work was extended by a follow-up project, called CLUSTER. Here the additional influence of impurities was investigated when merging CO2 streams from different sources, combined within a “so-called” cluster. Results are summarized within the following table regarding suitability for different parts of the process chain.

Hence, power plant technologies and turbomachinery components will continue to be developed and employed for efficient re-conversion of stored energy. With the introduction of new working fluids for higher thermal efficiencies, the working conditions of exposed components and materials will require higher corrosion resistance, but with the same mechanical performance, manufacturability and cost. Intermetallic iron aluminide alloys with their outstanding oxidation and corrosion resistance and good high-temperature properties depict a possible candidate for use in high-temperature structural applications. A quinary Fe-26Al-4Mo-0.5Ti-1B solid-solution alloy with eutectic particle hardening particularly demonstrated competitive mechanical properties compared to high-alloy P92 steels in previous studies. To derive standard material specifications with industrially relevant casting strategies, centrifugal investment-cast Fe-25Al-3.7Mo-0.4Ti-1B was characterised with respect to microstructure, thermophysical properties and mechanical properties under quasi-static tensile and creep loading up to 700 °C. Compared to P92 steel, the alloy demonstrated superior tensile strength above 550 °C and lower creep rates at 650 °C if stresses increase above 170 MPa. At lower temperatures though, the mechanical properties were inferior to P92 steel and related Fe-Al-Mo-Ti-B alloys, which was correlated to large grain sizes, a high tendency to surface and bulk cracking and a pronounced effect of tension-compression asymmetry. In further studies on alloy composition with varying Al, Mo and B concentration, a non-linear relationship of solid-solution hardening with solute Mo concentration was found. In this regard, halving Mo was the most effective measure for reducing brittleness without decreasing strength at room and elevated temperatures. Higher solidification rates and grain refinement down to 30 µm by die casting had a positive effect on ambient tensile strength, but were not achievable by investment casting. Dilatometry and hardness measurements indicated a low thermal vacancy hardening effect which was less sensitive to low-temperature annealing than in B2 FeAl alloys. Although mechanical properties up to 550 °C could be considerably improved by alloy development and processing, ductility at room temperature generally remained below 1%, necessitating substantial design margins for components from Fe-Al-Mo-Ti-B alloys. Despite the inherent limitations of alloy and casting process, the gained insights will help to prioritise future areas of research to mature cost-effective higher-order Fe Al alloys for high-temperature structural applications.

Therefore, the concepts related to FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) data handling, increasingly reported in literature, are particularly important in the materials science and engineering domain. However, they have not yet been integrated into a single, overarching methodological framework, particularly for reference data. Here, we introduce such a framework, which covers data generation, documentation, handling, storage, sharing, data search and discovery, retrieval, and usage. Furthermore, we prototypically implement it using a real dataset with creep data of a single-crystal CMSX-6 Ni-based superalloy. The implementation is traceable and permanently accessible through open repositories. The individual elements considered in the framework ensure the functionality and usability of the data and, thus, the adherence to the FAIR principles. In conjunction with this, we present a definition for reference data of materials.

In this respect, the quality assurance of processes and output data as well as the interoperability between applications following FAIR (findability, accessibility, interoperability, reusability) principles are to be ensured. For storage, processing, and querying of data in contextualized form, Semantic Web Technologies (SWT) are used since they allow for machine-actionable and human-readable knowledge representations needed for data management, retrieval, and (re)use. In this respect, the motivation for digital transformation in materials sciences stemming from the need to handle the ever-increasing volume and complexity of data will be elaborated on. By embracing digital tools and methodologies, researchers can enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and reproducibility of their work. The benefits of digital transformation in materials sciences are manifold, including improved data management, enhanced collaboration, and accelerated innovation. Being a core component of this transformation, ensuring data reliability and reproducibility is critical for the advancement of the field, enabling researchers to build on each other's work with confidence. Implementing FAIR data principles facilitates this by making data more accessible and usable across different platforms and studies. Furthermore, Semantic Web technologies (SWT) and ontologies play a crucial role in achieving these goals. Ontologies, typically consisting of the T-Box (terminological component) and A-Box (assertional component), provide a structured framework for representing knowledge. This presentation will outline the path of ontology creation and the formal transformation procedure, highlighting the various ontology levels that organize data into meaningful hierarchies. Real-world use cases presented, such as the Tensile Test Ontology (TTO) and the Orowan Demonstrator, illustrate the practical applications of these technologies. These examples will demonstrate how ontologies can be leveraged to standardize data and facilitate interoperability between different systems and research groups. Finally, in this presentation, Ontopanel is introduced, a tool designed to aid in the creation and management of ontologies. Ontopanel simplifies the process of developing and maintaining ontologies, making it accessible to researchers and practitioners in the field. By integrating these technologies and principles, the materials science community can move towards a more digital, interconnected, and efficient future making the knowledge and education on these topics very valuable.

Recently, we have developed an experimental method to trace the spatiotemporal dynamics of correlated dislocation activity (dislocation avalanches) in microcrystals (Phys. Rev. Mat. 2 (2018) 120601; Phys. Rev. Mat. 3 (2019) 080601). Here we exploit the temperature sensitive deformation of bcc metals. A marked change of the slip-size distribution is observed in the studied microcrystals, with increasingly small event-sizes dominating with decreasing temperature. This shows how a reduction in thermal energy increasingly suppresses the length-scale of dislocation avalanches, indicating how long-range correlations become gradually limited to the scale of the lattice. Our results further show that the stress-strain response is composed of strain-increments that are either thermally activated or essentially athermal. Temperature-dependent small-scale testing in combination with state-of-the-art discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) simulations of Nb microcrystals are used to reveal these insights.

Since metallic glasses continuously relax with time (age) or inherently are well relaxed after processing, methods to uniformly rejuvenate the material are needed. One approach that has received attention is the so-called cryogenic-cycling method, during which a metallic glass is repeatedly immersed into liquid nitrogen. In some cases, cryogenic cycling is truly efficient in increasing the stored excess enthalpy of metallic glasses, but it does not seem to be universally applicable to all alloys and structural states. The origins for these differences remain unclear due to our limited understanding of the underlying structural evolution. In order to shed more light onto the fundamental structural processes of cryogenic cycling, we pursue in-situ x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) to trace the atomic-scale structural dynamics of a Zr-based metallic glass in two different structural states (ribbon and bulk metallic glass). This method allows calculating the relaxation times as a function of time throughout the thermal cycling. It is found that the investigated glasses exhibit heterogeneous structural dynamics at 300 K, which changes to monotonic aging at 78 K. Cryogenic cycling homogenizes the relaxation time distribution for both structural states. This effect is much more pronounced in the ribbon, which is the only structural state that rejuvenates upon cycling. We furthermore reveal how fast atomic-scale dynamics is correlated with long-time average structural relaxation times irrespective of the state, and that the ribbon exhibits unexpected additional fast atomic-scale relaxation in comparison to the plate material. Overall, a picture emerges that points towards heterogeneities in fictive temperature as a requirement for cryogenic energy storage.

Therefore, the concepts related to FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) data handling, increasingly reported in literature, are particularly important in the materials science and engineering domain. However, they have not yet been integrated into a single, overarching methodological framework, particularly for reference data. Here, we introduce such a framework, which covers data generation, documentation, handling, storage, sharing, data search and discovery, retrieval, and usage. Furthermore, we prototypically implement it using a real dataset with creep data of a single-crystal CMSX-6 Ni-based superalloy. The implementation is traceable and permanently accessible through open repositories. The individual elements considered in the framework ensure the functionality and usability of the data and, thus, the adherence to the FAIR principles. In conjunction with this, we present a definition for reference data of materials. Our definition underlines particularly the importance of a comprehensive documentation, e.g., on material provenance, data processing procedures, and the software and hardware used, including software-specific input parameters, as these details enable data users or independent parties to assess the quality of the datasets and to reuse and reproduce the results. Reference data that is managed according to the proposed framework can be used to advance knowledge in the materials science and engineering domain, e.g., by identifying new process-structure-property relations.

The mechanical and functional properties of these materials can be influenced either negatively or positively by the presence of grain boundaries (GBs). These properties are interconnected with the structure, chemistry, or a combination of both (referred to as chemo-structure) at the GB. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of GBs, and their associated phenomena is key to tuning these materials properties for desired applications. Nevertheless, the intricate and unique characteristics of GBs impose constraints on their general descriptions in existing models designed for studying and understanding them. In this dissertation, a comprehensive tool, the CALPHAD-integrated density-based phase-field (DPF) model \cite{darvishikamachali2020model}, that harnesses atomic-scale GB characteristics, is employed and extended to reveal a deeper understanding of the GB structure, chemistry, chemo-structural coupling and their potential contributions to GB phenomena such as GB structural (and/or chemo-structural) transitions and liquid metal embrittlement. Although GBs possess distinctive crystallographic properties that render them unique and individualistic, it is important to note that they cannot exist independently; rather, they are made of the same constituents as the corresponding bulk material. To this end, the DPF model uses a continuous atomic density field ($\rho$), derived from atomistic simulations, to characterize the GB with reference to its corresponding homogeneous bulk (grain interior). This perspective allows the DPF model to approximate the GB free energy functional based on available bulk thermodynamic data. The DPF model has been utilized to investigate a variety of systems, form unary to multi-component systems \cite{kamachali2024giant,darvishikamachali2020model,darvishikamachali2020segregation,wang2021density,li2020grain,wang2021incorporating,zhou2021spinodal}. Among several novelties in the elucidation of the thermodynamics and kinetics of GBs, the DPF model has shown that GBs can have their own miscibility gap. It further reveals a temporal co-evolution of low and high segregation levels at the GB, which can act as precursor states for the formation of new phases \cite{kwiatkowskidasilva2018phase, kwiatkowskidasilva2019thermodynamics}. In the recent publication on Fe-Mn \cite{darvishikamachali2020segregation} and in various other works \cite{kamachali2024giant,darvishikamachali2020model,darvishikamachali2020segregation,wang2021density,li2020grain,wang2021incorporating,zhou2021spinodal, ikeda2023segregation, ahmadian2023interstitial} of the DPF model, the variation of atomic density field was allowed normal to the GB plane. At the GB plane, the in-plane GB density $\rho^{GB}$ was treated as a constant average value, representing its intrinsic dependence on the GB nature and misorientation. Although this assumption provides a useful simplification in studying GB phenomena, it does have the drawback of overlooking the significance of the in-plane structure variation. This seems to be particularly central in the view of experimental observations that confirm relatively stable grain boundary composition fluctuation \cite{darvishikamachali2020segregation}. In this thesis, the significance and impact of the atomic structure of GBs on their thermodynamics is investigated. This is achieved in two ways: On one hand, by extending the CALPHAD-integrated density-based free energy functional to account for structural degrees of freedom of GBs, and on the other hand, by deducing and linking density-related GB properties to the GB structure through the results of atomistic simulation of the GBs. Naturally, the structure (atomic density) within the GB plane fluctuates. This variation may also be linked to changes in composition due to solute segregation at the GB. While the fact that the GB structure can undergo transitions (referred to as complexions) \cite{frolov2015segregation, cantwell2020grain, cantwell2014grain} is not entirely new, the quantitative measurements of co-existing GB phases are scarce. Recently, instances were reported where the coexistence of two in-plane GB phases was revealed through the application of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and atomistic simulation \cite{frommeyer2022dual, meiners2020observations}. To this end, the potential of GB structural variation within the DPF model is introduced in this thesis, where the GB in-plane density $\rho^{GB}$ is described as a field, that can vary both in time and space. This extension enables the in-plane GB density $\rho^{GB}$ to evolve and exhibit two distinct low-energy states, denoted as $\rho^{GB} = \rho_1$ and $\rho^{GB} = \rho_2$, where $\rho_2 > \rho_1$. Separating these two structural states is an in-plane line defect. This way, the model allows the studies of the co-evolution between the chemical and structural states of the GB. As a proof of concept and benchmark study, the extended-DPF model is implemented for studying Fe-Mn system. The results show that the GB structure's capacity to respond to chemical variations, as incorporated in the DPF model, enhances the Mn segregation transition at the GB, even in the absence of any alterations to the GB structure. When the GB structure undergo changes (or is non-uniform), the model reveals a coupling between the GB structure and chemical evolution. The ability of the GB structure to change allows the coexistence of spinodally formed low- and high-Mn phases within the GB during segregation transition. The acquired equilibrium segregation isotherms provides insight into the range of alloy compositions where these GB phases remain stabilised. Moreover, the observations indicate that the tendency of the GB to undergo a structural transition (change) is associated with the energy of the in-plane line defect, between low- and high-density domains within the GB plane. The extended-DPF model is further applied to Zn-coated advanced high strength steels (Fe-Zn systems), where Zn segregation to the GB is known to cause severe performance degradation due to liquid metal embrittlement \cite{razmpoosh2021pathway, ikeda2022early, bhattacharya2018liquid}. The effect of GB type and its chemo-structural coupling on Zn segregation is investigated. The results showed a sharp Zn segregation that is strongly influenced by the nature of the GB itself, as well as the coupling between its chemistry and structure. Additionally, GB phase diagrams were constructed across a wide range of alloy compositions and temperatures. The impact of the GB type and chemo-structural coupling on the miscibility gap of GBs is discussed. The DPF model's ability to incorporate atomic-scale characteristics into the construction of Gibbs free energies at the mesoscale ensures it retains key physical insights when predicting microstructure properties. To this end, a robust investigation of the model’s parameters and outputs in comparison to atomistic simulations of GBs is presented. This not only serves as a gauge for the models reliability, but also provide a new framework in establishing an atomistically-informed density-based description of GBs. First, by examining a large dataset of GBs in BCC-Fe and -Mo from atomistic simulations, a connection between their discrete atomic structure and the continuous atomic density function $\rho$ is established. This is achieved by a systematic coarse-graining approach wherein an atomsitically-obtained density function (delta function) is substituted with a normalised Gaussian function, so that, a smooth and continuous atomic density profile in real space can be obtained, where the minimum is the average atomic density at the GB plane $\rho^{GB}$. The investigation revealed a linear proportional relationship between the GB excess free volume and $\rho^{GB}$. This correlation simplifies the computation of the excess free volume as the integration over the portion of the density profile where the atomic density is less than one. Furthermore, the GB energies calculated by atomistic simulations revealed a correlation with $\rho^{GB}$ for certain classification of GB types, therefore enhancing the model's predictive accuracy. Concurrently, the atomic-scale characteristics of GBs can be further harnessed in the DPF models by replacing the simple functional form of the potential energy as given in the original DPF model formulation with a material specific interatomic potential (expressed as a function of the atomic density $\rho$) from molecular dynamic simulations. This way, a reliable prediction of the atomic density gradient energy coefficient for mesoscale simulations can be obtained.

They enable machine-actionable and human-readable knowledge representations essential for advanced data management, retrieval, and reuse. As one of the key factors within the frame of the collaborative project platform MaterialDigital (PMD), the establishment of a virtual material data space and the semantic modeling of hierarchical, process-dependent material data is aimed at to serve as best-practice examples of knowledge representation through ontologies and knowledge graphs. In this presentation, the application of ST to a specific use case from the field of materials sciences and engineering (MSE) is demonstrated: the integration and analysis of data related to a 2000 series age-hardenable aluminum alloy. By semantically representing mechanical and microstructural data obtained from tensile tests and dark-field transmission electron microscopy across various aging times, an expandable knowledge graph was constructed that is aligned with the PMD Core Ontology (PMDco) and enriched through the Tensile Test (TTO) and Precipitate Geometry Ontologies. This semantically integrated dataset enables advanced analytical capabilities via SPARQL queries and reveals microstructure–property relationships consistent with the well-known Orowan mechanism. The approach highlights the potential of semantic data integration to support FAIR data principles and to foster a more data-centric and interoperable research infrastructure in MSE.

However, this task remains generally difficult due to the material’s inherent brittleness. In search for tougher glasses, fracture toughness (KIC) prediction models are helpful tools to screen for promising candidates. In this work, a novel model to predict KIC via the fracture surface energy, γ, is presented. Our approach uses readily available crystallographic structure data of the glass’s isochemical crystal and tabled diatomic chemical bond energies, D0. The method assumes that γ of a glass equals the fracture surface energy of the most likely cleavage plane of the crystal. Calculated values were not only in excellent agreement with those calculated with a former well-working model, but also demonstrates a remarkable equivalence between crystal cleavage planes and glass fracture surfaces. Finally, the effectiveness of fracture toughness enhancement by chemical substitution is discussed based on our results and alternative toughening strategies will be suggested.

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

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

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

This journey was certainly not planned and highlights how opportunities and compromises together allow you to make much more out of your engineering degree than you ever have dreamed of.

As a function of time, relaxation may indeed constitute significant threads to safe applications, such as a complete loss of toughness. In the search for a physical understanding of aging, we exploit here the ability to track atomic-scale dynamics with coherent x-ray scattering. Conducted across temperatures and under the application of stress, the results reveal unexpected transport. In concert with microsecond molecular dynamic simulations, we identify possible mechanisms of atomic-scale dynamics that underly physical aging of metallic glasses. We find that classical Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts behavior is only suited for the short relaxation-time regime, whereas anomalous diffusion emerges at practically relevant times. We discuss these results in terms of the structural relaxation modes and propose a picture of a true microstructure in metallic glasses.

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

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

The documentation of the test data is often incomplete. This concerns, e.g., material’s manufacturing process or chemical composition, or test equipment’s description and its calibration status. Our concept addresses this issue by proposing the implementation of a requirements profile. A crucial aspect of our concept is to reach a community-agreement on the definition of reference data and on the underlying data schema and vocabulary.

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

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

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

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

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