TY - CONF A1 - Weinel, Kristina T1 - Plasmonic Behavior in Assemblies of Disordered Gold Nanoparticles N2 - Plasmons are collective oscillations of the free electron density in metals which can be described by an electromagnetic field. Surface plasmons are longitudinal waves propagating at the surface of the metallic material coupled to an external field. Localized surface plasmons on a nanoparticle reveal the behavior of standing waves with discrete resonance frequencies whose dominating mode is called dipole mode. Coupling of nanoparticles leads eventually to a hybridization of those dipole modes and therefore to spectral and spatial delocalization which was already investigated in ordered systems. In disordered systems, there are a lot of open questions regarding the propagation behavior which changes from delocalization to localization for instance due to the disorder. This phenomenon is then called Anderson localization. To investigate the propagation behavior of plasmonic waves in an assembly of disordered gold NPs, we combine experimental results of electron energy loss spectroscopy in a scanning transmission microscope with simulation results of the self-consistent dipole modelling. We indeed find experimentally localization of plasmon modes and with the simulation we could exclude other localization mechanism such as life-time damping or retardation. In conclusion, we could found Anderson localization of surface plasmons in assemblies of disordered gold nanoparticles which will enhance the understanding of this kind of vector waves to the Anderson localization as a general wave behavior in disordered systems.

For silicate glasses we found a good correlation between the calculated surface energy of crystal faces and oriented surface nucleation. Surface energies were estimated assuming that crystal surfaces resemble minimum energy crack paths along the given crystal plane. This concept was successfully applied at the Institute of Physics of Rennes in calculating fracture surface energies of glasses. Several oriented nucleation phenomena can be herby explained assuming that high energy crystal surfaces tend to be wetted by the melt. This would minimize the total interfacial energy of the nucleus. Furthermore, we will discuss the evolution of the microstructure and its effect on the preferred crystal orientation.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

For the metallization of commercial Si solar cells, high conductive silver glass pastes are cost effectively applicated by screen printing. Nevertheless, silver pastes are still one of the most crucial and expensive none Si materials in solar cells. Ever shorter time to market as well as increasing demands on reduced Ag consumption and line width require the targeted development of silver-glass-pastes with increased sinter ability and electrical conductivity. As a main difficulty, however, the liquid phase sintering of silver glass pastes is poorly understood so far. In the present study, the influence of different network modifier in alkali-zinc-borate paste glasses on liquid phase sintering of silver-glass-pastes was investigated. Low melting X2O-ZnO-B2O3 glasses with X = Na, Li and Rb (abbr. LZB, NZB, and RZB) were utilized to prepare silver-glass-composites containing 30 %Vol glass. Shrinkage behavior of the silver-glass-composites compared with that of pure silver and pure glass powder compacts was studied with heating microscopy. The powder compacts were uniaxially pressed and heated at 5 K/min to the glass softening temperature. Glass transformation temperature and viscosity of the glasses were respectively measured with dilatometry and rotational viscometry. The thermal behavior of the pure glasses was analyzed with thermal analysis. Additionally, the contact angle of glass on pure silver foil was determined by means of heating microscopy between room temperature and 830 °C. Thermal analysis of the alkali-zinc-borate-glasses under study has shown transformation temperatures between 450 °C (RZB), 460 °C (LZB) and 465 °C (NZB). For all glasses crystallization was found to start approximately at about 550 °C. However, different peak areas hint on a different degree of crystallization. Conformingly, the sintering behavior, measured in terms of area shrinkage, significantly differed for the silver-pastes under study. For silver-pastes with NZB or LZB-glass, sintering starts at 464 °C for NZB Ag pastes and at 451 °C for LZB Ag pastes and ends at 597 °C for NZB Ag paste and at 594 °C for LZB Ag paste. The sintering of the RZB Ag paste proceeds between 426 °C and 703 °C. The final densification was retarded possibly due to crystallization or swelling. The low sinter onset at 426 °C seems to correlate with the good wetting behavior of the RZB glass. Thus, the lowest apparent contact angle between the just densified powder compact sintered at a silver substrate was found for this glass. Moreover, microstructure analyses of the various composites indicate differences in silver dissolution and reprecipitation.

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

Raman und Infrarot Spektroskopie zeigen, dass die Glasstruktur weitgehend vergleichbar ist, aber Unterschiede in der Bildung von Pentaboratgruppen in LZB und NZB oder Diboratgruppen in KZB und RZB auftreten. Die Anzahl an vierfach koordinierten Bor-Ionen (N4) sinkt mit zunehmendem Alkaliionenradius.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This effect was studied for X2O-ZnO-B2O3 (X = Li, Na, Rb) glasses for silver-glass metallization pastes. Viscosity and the glass transition temperature, Tg, were measured with rotational viscometry and dilatometry. Dried model pastes with 30 vol% LZB, NZB or RZB glass were prepared for sintering studies by means of heating microscopy measuring the silhouette area shrinkage of uniaxially pressed powder compacts during heating at 5 K/min. For comparison, the silhouette area shrinkage of pure glass and silver powder compacts were determined. Glass-silver wetting was investigated during heating of bulk glass cylinders placed on silver substrates. Glass RZB turned out to have the lowest viscosity among the glasses under study. Its glass transformation temperature, Tg, was found at 444 °C and it caused the lowest sintering onset for its glass and paste powder compacts. Slightly increased values of Tg were found for NZB and LZB (468 °C and 466 °C, respectively) and a slightly retarded sintering was found for both paste powder compacts. These results indicate that liquid phase sintering of silver-glass pastes under air atmosphere is mainly influenced by glass viscosity.

However, the oxidation behavior remains an emerging field within the CCA community. The fully heat treated AlMo0.5NbTa0.5TiZr rCCA contains a dual-phase microstructure that resembles the γ/ γ’ pattern of the well-known Ni-base superalloys, however with a continuous Al-Zr-Ti-rich B2 ordered matrix embedding Mo-Nb-Ta-rach bcc precipitates. The question thus arises what is the oxidation behavior of this rCCA alloy? In this study, this question is addressed via in situ and ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) in dry and humid air in the 800–1000 °C regime. Electron microscopic investigations complement the findings. In situ synchrotron experiments were carried out at the KMC2 beamline of the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB), with a wavelength of 1.5418 Å at 800 and 950 °C under dry and humid (≈ 40% rH, laboratory air) air for 12 h. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy was performed before and after exposure to spatially resolve the scale development ex situ. In general, 12 h exposure led to an oxide scale which internal oxidation reaches several tens of microns, and which is dominated by Zr-, Ti- and Mo-containing oxides although aluminum oxide was also always present. Main differences are observed between temperatures, while the humidity played a lesser role.

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

As a first step the corrosion processes need to be better understood, especially in the case of the unavoidable and highly corrosive sulfur-based gases. In this work oxidation/sulfidation of an equimolar CrMnFeCoNi high entropy alloy is studied at an early stage after hot gas exposure at 600 °C for 6 h in 0.5% SO2 and 99.5% Ar. The oxidation process is studied by means of x-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and supported by thermodynamic calculations. It is found that the sulfur does not enter the bulk material but interacts mainly with the fast-diffusing manganese at grain boundary triple junctions at the alloy surface. Sub-micrometer scaled Cr-S-O rich phases close to the grain boundaries complete the sulfur-based phase formation. The grains are covered in different Fe, Mn and Cr based spinels and other oxides.

When compared with conventional alloys, HEAs may possess desirable properties such as improved strength/hardness, remarkable wear resistance, high structural stability, and notable oxidation resistance. However, due to the numerous possibilities of alloy composition, only a small fraction of HEAs has been characterized in terms of their mechanical and chemical properties. A refractory high-entropy superalloy AlMo0.5NbTa0.5TiZr, with its superalloy-like microstructure, belongs to the first group of a subclass of such Al-containing refractory HEAs that has recently drawn attention. The alloy has a nanoscale microstructure consisting of B2 and bcc phases, enabling high-temperature compressive strengths beyond conventional Ni-based alloys. This feature could improve turbine efficiency in the aerospace and power production industries. However, the microstructure has been reported to be sensitive to heat treatment after which it loses mechanical performance when the intragranular hexagonal Al-Zr-based intermetallic forms. This might be connected with the phase stability in the material. Then again, the addition of Al has been reported to improve the oxidation resistance of the material, but also that HEA materials tend to show pronounced zones of internal aging caused by diffusion during oxidation. These previous results imply that further research on the thermodynamic stability of the alloy is required. Furthermore, the oxidation behavior (both external and internal) and the role of humidity in the process are not fully understood. With such a multi-component material, the grain boundaries are expected to play a key role in the oxidation process, serving as short-circuit pathways for diffusion. To shed more light on the oxidation behavior of the AlMo0.5NbTa0.5TiZr alloy, experiments were carried out for 24 hours at 800 °C under both dry (21% O2 + 79% N2) and humid (8% O2 + 74% N2 + 18% H2O) atmospheres. After the experiments, the samples were characterized with XRD, SEM-EDS, and EPMA. The alloy oxidized rapidly under both studied atmospheres, resulting in a visibly oxidized region with a thickness of around 1.5 microns (dry) and 3.8 microns (humid). The porosity of the oxidized regions differs from one another: a thin layer of pores was detected in the outermost part of the oxidized zone under dry conditions, whereas the pores were distributed throughout the oxidized zone under humid conditions. Furthermore, the presence of humidity affected the phase formation. The grain boundaries, while still recognizable, differed visually from the grains in the as-received material, indicating the active role of grain boundaries during the oxidation. In addition, in the exposed samples, cracks along the grain boundaries were detected. Interestingly, cracks were also located within the grains. This could originate from the diffusion of species from the grains to the grain boundaries, which has changed the composition of grains. As a consequence, cracks formed most likely during cooling due to the Pilling-Bedworth effect. The formation of cracks suggested that the macro-scale homogeneity of the material may change during operation at high temperatures due to the active grain boundaries.

The formation mechanism of especially anhydrite has been a matter of scientific debate for more than a century (van’t Hoff et al. 1903). To date, there exists no model that can reliably predict anhydrite formation at earth’s surface conditions. While thermodynamics favor its formation, it is hardly achieved on laboratory time scales at conditions fitting either the Atacama Desert on Earth, or the surface of Mars (Wehmann et al. 2023). In light of most recent developments (e.g. Stawski et al. 2016), that advocate for a complex, non-classical nucleation mechanism for all calcium sulphates, we present an analysis of natural samples from the Atacama Desert to identify key features that promote the nucleation and growth of anhydrite under planetary surface conditions. Our analyses reveal at least three distinct anhydrite facies, with differing mineralogy and micro- to nano-structures. The facies are (1) aeolian deposits with sub-μm grain sizes, (2) (sub-)surface nodules that formed from aeolian deposits and (3) selenites with secondary anhydrite rims. Possible mechanisms of their formation will be discussed.

An example of this is the AlMo0.5NbTa0.5TiZr alloy. It was named as “high entropy superalloy” as it resembles the well-known γ/γ’ microstructure in Ni-Base superalloys with cuboidal particles embedded in a continuous matrix. However, the continuous phase in Ni Base alloys is an fcc solution and the cuboidal γ’ precipitates present the L12 intermetallic structure. On the opposite, this CCA has a reversed microstructure where the continuous matrix is formed by an ordered B2 phase which contains cuboidal precipitates of a disordered BCC phase. Some of the most importat results of microstructural analysis, creep test and oxidation are presented in the following work. The as-cast sample shows a bcc/B2 structure with hexagonal phase precipitates in amorphous state whereas the annealed sample also shows a combination of these phases but with larger bcc precipitates and a fully crystallized hexagonal intermetallic. It was found that porosity was higher in the annealed samples (Kinkerdall effect) and the hardness was higher in samples with faster cooling rate due smaller nanostructure. Norton plots show both diffusion and dislocation controlled deformation, and it was found different kinetics between dry and humid air oxidation with the presence of spallation.

Here, we address the HT creep behavior and its associated microstructural degradation of this RSA. The material was produced by arc-melting, heat treatment in argon (24 h @ 1400 °C + 4 h hot isostatic pressure @ 1370 °C & 170 MPa). Interrupted vacuum creep tests were performed at 900-1100 °C and 30-120 MPa. Scanning (S) and transmission (T) electron microscopy (EM) were used to reveal degradation mechanisms. At 1100 °C (Fig.1, middle), the dual A2/B2 microstructure coarsens and partially transforms into a Zr-Al-rich phase (red arrow). An additional external load pronounces directional coarsening. Results are further discussed on the base dislocation and additional damage mechanisms.

Selbst wenn ein duktiler Werkstoff vorliegt, der unter schwingender Beanspruchung prinzipiell Schwingstreifen ausbilden kann, ist nicht sicher, ob diese vollzählig erkannt werden können und ob jeder Schwingstreifen auf einem Lastspiel beruht.

T1 - Strengthening mechanisms of single crystalline CrCoNi and CrMnFeCoNi at creep temperatures above 700 °C N2 - The main deference between high entropy alloys and conventional alloys is the solid solution strengthening effect, which moves from a single element to a multi-element matrix. Little is known about the effectiveness of this effect at high temperatures. Investigation of temperature dependent solid solution strengthening in single phase multicomponent alloys with medium and high entropy using creep testing was performed. Creep tests carried out on single phase SX CrCoNi , CrMnFeCoNi and pure Ni from 700 to 1200 °C excluding oxidation, grain boundaries and multiphase effects. It was found that the influence of solid solution strengthening of CrCoNi and CrMnFeCoNi increases by decreasing temperature (1200 to 700 °C), and dislocation forests occur in CrCoNi and CrMnFeCoNi in comparison to pure Ni.

Specimens were cut from a large grain niobium disk used for the manufacturing of SRF cavities. Different crystallographic tensile directions exhibited significantly different softening and hardening behaviors and elongation at fracture. Such anisotropy is reduced at high strain rates. Also, different dislocation substructures were observed with TEM at low and high strain rates. At low strain rates, dislocation cells with a high density of long dislocations were observed. At high strain rates, homogeneously distributed dislocations with a higher dislocation dipole density were observed. The relationship between the differences in dislocation substructures and mechanical properties at low and high strain rates and the potential effects on the superconducting properties are discussed.

However, since they sometimes have significant contents of expensive alloying elements such as Co or Ni, their use is only conceivable in highly stressed areas of components. For this purpose, the weldability with conventional alloys such as high-alloy austenitic steels must be investigated. In addition to the resulting microstructure, the mechanical properties are also fundamental for the usability of HEAs in DMWs. For this purpose, TIG welds of CoCrFeMnNi HEA (cold rolled and recrystallized state) with AISI 304 austenitic steel are investigated. These mechanical properties are analyzed in this work by means of tensile tests and local hardness measurement. The local strain behavior of the welded joints is also characterized by means of Digital Image Correlation (DIC). The results of the local hardness measurement show a clear influence of the initial condition of the HEA on the HAZ. Thus, the HEA in the cold-rolled condition shows a clear softening because of recrystallization processes in the HAZ. On the other hand, there is no influence on the hardness of the weld metal, which is approx. 200 HV0.1 in both cases. The tensile tests show a consistent failure of the weld in the weld metal. However, regardless of the HEA condition, strengths in the range of the recrystallized HEA (RM ~ 550–600 MPa) are achieved, although with significantly reduced fracture elongations.

The the alloy concept is fundamentally different from the most conventional materials and alloys that are used today. Recently, the focus of HEA designs is more application-based. For that purpose, the elements of interest are carefully selected and multiple phases as well as micro-structures are deliberately adjusted. Currently, only limited attention has been paid to weldability of HEA. This encompasses possible effects on metallurgy and its influence on the desired properties. It remains open if welding causes e.g. considerable number of intermetallic phases or segregations and their effect on weld joint properties. For that reason, the scope of this study is to summarize already available studies on welding of HEAs with respect to the HEA-type, the applied welding process and its influence on the weld joint properties.

The AlMo0.5NbTa0.5TiZr rCCA was studied by SEM, EDX, EBSD and TEM, showing the presence of a nanoscopic basket-wave structure inside the grains, with two BCC phases. Additionally, thermodynamic calculations on the AlMo0.5NbTa0.5TiZr alloy were done with two different proprietary databases that anticipate two BCC-disordered phases with distinct constitutions as well as an HCP phase.

In this study, a single-phase equiatomic CrFeNi alloy was exposed to synthetic air at 1000 - 1100 °C for 24 - 1000 h and compared to 316L steel. The oxidation rate of CrFeNi was parabolic at the lower temperatures 1000 °C and 1050 °C, but at 1100 °C a first breakaway occurred after 4 h of exposure. In all cases, the oxide scales were found to partially spall off. As expected, Cr diffuses outwards to form a Cr2O3 layer at the gas/oxide interface. A thin layer of (Cr, Fe, Ni)3O4 is identified at the oxide/alloy interface. The CrFeNi alloy does not show any catastrophic oxidation behaviour at the investigated conditions unlike the 316L alloy, which contains more Mn and Fe.

After some years of research, it was found that this strengthening could be enhanced further by the introduction of a carefully chosen second phase that has a connection to the matrix phase. A most suitable combination is the combination of a ductile matrix phase with a disordered structure and an intermetallic precipitation phase that is coherent to the matrix. The most well-known example is the gamma-gammaprime morphology that is known from Ni-base superalloys, but it is not the only one. Combination of fcc-B2 or bcc-B2 have been discovered and optimized in several alloys and they lead the materials to beautiful microstructures with admirable properties. This talk presents the different types of cuboid formations in HEAs that have been presented in the last two decades.

Oxidation studies to HEAs have not been extensively investigated and most of them are concentrated on environments like synthetic air, laboratory air, CO/CO2, O2 and H2O atmospheres. Main corrosion products which were identified after aging times of up to 100 h are Mn2O3 (≤800°C) and Mn3O4 (≥800°C). Another corrosive medium in high temperature applications is SO2, which preferentially forms sulfides on commercial steels for example. These can be occurred both in the oxide layer and at the oxide/metal interface. For instance, on Fe-Cr based alloys sulfides (Cr5S6) were detected along grain boundaries and their number increases with exposure time and Cr-content in the alloy. These sulfides show an increased hardness, compared to the bulk alloy, and cause an embrittlement of the grain boundaries. This is a serious material degradation phenomenon, now addressed for the case of HEAs. In the present study metal sulfides were identified after corrosion of the HEA CrMnFeCoNi alloy in an Ar-0.5vol.%SO2 atmosphere at 800°C for 24 h, 48 h, 96 h and 192 h exposure time. After all three duration times, a thin non-protective Cr2O3 layer has formed at the oxide/alloy interface. At the gas side a thick Mn3O4 layer with local voids containing sulfur could be detected by SEM-EDS analysis. Furthermore, S precipitates could be detected in the bulk material near the surface. These sulfides were characterized in detail by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Based on these results, a model for grain boundary sulfidation of high-entropy alloy CrMnFeCoNi is discussed.

The aim of this work is to evaluate the alloy’s mechanical behavior under tension in the temperature range 800-1000°C, by applying creep tests under vacuum (excluding oxidation effects). Some little temperature influence on minimum creep rate @ 1000 and 1100 °C was found and at a first glance, and Norton plots shows that deformation is probably both diffusion and dislocation controlled. However, further work is needed to stablish deformation and degradation micro mechanisms in the studied creep regime.

The microstructures of AM metallic alloys are complex and hierarchical from the macroscopic to the nanometer scale. When using laser-based powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process, two main microstructural features emerge at the nanoscale: the melt pool boundaries (MPB) and the solidification cellular substructure. Here, details of the MPB are revealed to clearly show the three-dimensional nature of MPBs with changes of cell growth of direction and their relation to their surrounding cellular substructure, as investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for L-PBF 316L austenitic stainless steel (cf. Figure 1). A hitherto unknown modulated substructure with a period of 21 nm is further discovered within cells as the result of a partial Ga+-focused ion beam-induced ferritic transformation of the austenite. Cell cores and cell boundaries differ notably regarding the modulated substructure. T2 - 3.

Here, we show how this method has to be modified in order to synthesize plasmonic gold nanoparticles (NPs) on insulating silicon oxide substrate by employing a scanning electron microscope with a comparatively low acceleration voltage of 30 kV. The synthesized NPs exhibit a random distribution around the initial microparticle target: Their average size reduces from 150 nm to 3 nm with growing distance to the initial Au microparticle target. Similarly, their average distance increases. The synthesized NP assemblies therefore show distinctly different plasmonic behaviour with growing distance to the target, which allows to study consequences of random hybridization of surface plasmon in disordered system, such as Anderson localization. To reveal the surface plasmons and their localization behaviour we apply electron energy loss spectroscopy in the TEM.

This work is focused on the investigation of silver diffusion in alkali zinc borate glasses (X2O-ZnO-B2O3, X = Li, Na, K, Rb). In addition, the redox state of silver (Ag) and thus the type of diffusing silver species were studied. For this purpose, a metallic silver coating was applied on glass cubes by means of sputtering. Heat treatment of the samples was performed close to the glass transition temperatures at 470 °C for 2 h under air and nitrogen atmosphere. Coating thickness was 1.8 µm after heat treatment, measured by a white light interferometer. Silver diffusion profiles were measured by means of secondary neutral mass spectrometry. The silver diffusion coefficients are in the range of ~10-14 cm2/s and indicate no significant differences depending on the type of alkali ions in the glass. Dissolved Ag+-ions and [Agm]n+-clusters in the glasses were differentiated using fluorescence spectroscopy. Precipitated metallic silver particles in the sodium containing glass were observed by means of transmission electron microcopy. Their mean particle diameter was ~6 nm.

Medium-entropy alloy FeCrNi alloy was exposed to synthetic air at 1000°C, 1050°C, and 1100 °C for up to 1000 h using a thermobalance. The oxidation rate was parabolic at 1000 and 1050°C, but breakaway occurred at 1100°C after 5 h of aging time. The whole oxide scales formed under the isothermal oxidation tests spalled off and additional oxidation tests were carried out at 1000 °C and 1050°C for 24 h and up to 100 h at 1000°C in a tubular furnace. The corrosion behaviour of the MEA was analysed by scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction and compared to the behaviour of 316 L. The experimental results showed that under all conditions chromium is the main diffusion element resulting in the formation of a Cr2O3 layer at the MEA surface. Spallation of the layer induces the formation of additional oxidation products under the surface of the (spalled off) chromia layer. T2 - Euromat 2023 CY - Frankfurt a.

Early work from the 1990s already showed the possibility of further enhancing this spinodal decomposition by adding the element Al, which in addition to spinodal decomposition also provides an ordering process in the otherwise disordered bcc phases of the alloy. Nevertheless, the knowledge of refractory high entropy (super)alloy systems, is still in its infancy and requires further research to fully exploit its potential for high temperature applications in the future. Two refractory alloys of the Al-Nb-Ta-Ti-Zr family are investigated via (high temperature in-situ) XRD, in the long run for understanding spinodal decomposition properties. Ex-situ XRD and TEM observations show the formation of at least one bcc phase and an ordered B2 phase. In addition, one or more Al-Zr rich phases are observed, which are not part of the spinodal phases and are unwanted. The high-temperature observations at 1000°C for 60 h show a remarkable increase in peak width up to 2° FWHM that does not disappear after cooling in the furnace. Ex-situ observations after 1000°C for hundreds of hours and subsequent quenching show narrow peaks (max 0,2° FWHM) at the same position. This and several other observations will be presented in this talk and possible explanations are presented.

Its dual-phase microstructure, with a high volume fraction (≈ 62%) of cuboidal and plate-like particles coherently embedded in a continuous matrix, resembles the well-known pattern of the γ/γ" in Ni-base superalloys. Its developers have thus implied that it could stand as structural alloy for high temperature (HT) applications. Here, we report the HT creep properties and the underlying microstructural changes of the rCCA AlMo0.5NbTa0.5TiZr to propose deformation and degradation micromecanisms for this regime. The material was produced by arc-melting and subsequently heat treated in argon: at 1400 °C for 24 h plus a hot isostatic pressure treatment at 1370 °C and 170 MPa for 4 h, with a cooling rate of 10 K/min. Miniaturized tensile specimens (≈ 28 x 7 x 2 mm) were cut and polished to a quality of 1 μm. Creep tests were conducted in vacuum in the respective temperature and stress range 800-1200 °C and 30-120 MPa. For observation, thin slices were extracted from the gauge length, away from the fracture surface, grinded to a thickness of 100 μm, and electropolished to electron transparency. The microstructure was observed on the electropolished specimens using scanning (S) as well as transmission (T) electron microscopy (EM). The Norton plot gives Norton exponents of about 3.1 and 3.2 for temperatures of 1000 and 1100 °C, respectively. Curiously, creep rate minima are very close for a stress level of 30. The starting microstructure reflects a macroscopically lean coarse grain structure and a microscopically fine-meshed basketweave structure with coherency dislocations only around coarsened particles usually close to subgrain boundaries. Results are discussed on the base of variations of this starting microstructure after interrupted and ruptured creep tests.

These are mainly focused on manufacturing of different alloy systems having excellent structural properties from low to high temperatures. Therefore, HEAs are of high potential for many applications in very demanding conditions. However, this is so far limited by poor knowledge and experience regarding economic and reliable component manufacturing. The processability of HEAs has hardly been investigated so far, indicated by the small number of publications worldwide: welding <30 and machining <5. Hence, this contribution provides an overview about the current state of the art on processing of HEAs. Fundamental principles are shown for safe weld joints while ensuring high component integrity. For safe welding, the combined consideration of complex interactions of material, construction and process is necessary. Recent studies on different HEAs showed the influence of heat input by means of different welding processes on the microstructure and respective properties. Based on intensive literature survey and on our initial study, the main research objectives of processing HEAs are presented.

In the early years of research, one of the main goals was the discovery of a single-phase high entropy alloy. As research evolved, it was found that properties could be enhanced by opening the HE-concept towards multiphase alloys, and from the wide area of possibilities our group chose a tuning of the properties towards high temperature application. Compositionally complex Al10Co25Cr8Fe15Ni36Ti6 alloy, which is single-phase at high temperature, around 1200°C, shows a three phase morphology at intermediate temperatures, around 800°C. A high temperature homogenization procedure has to be applied in order to decrease the segregation induced by the dendritic growth. Subsequent annealing promotes the formation of the strengthening γ' precipitates. The alloy shows a positive lattice misfit between the γ and the γ' phase, which can be an indicator for good creep properties. The microstructure can be optimized by adding trace elements such as Mo and Hf, known as γ and γ' strengtheners in Ni-based superalloys, respectively. Atom probe measurements show that Mo segregates into the γ matrix, and Hf prefers the γ' precipitates, where it increases the lattice parameter and thus also the lattice misfit, by about 50%. The alloy family shows interesting mechanical properties, especially the Al9.5Co25Cr8Fe15Ni36Ti6Hf0,5 alloy – its tensile properties are better than those of commercial Alloy 800H and IN617 at temperatures up to 700°C.

The addition of both can thus merge both element’s beneficial influences when combined with the appropriate heat treatment: Hf enhances the cubicity of the γ’ particles in the γ matrix while the W reduces the negative influence of the Heusler phase: this phase can be completely dissolved when W is present in the alloy.

In this context, aeronautics is deeply concerned as one of the most emissive industrial sectors (cf. EU Green Deal). The answer to this pressing challenge is complex and involves new fuels and engine concepts, new aerostructures with higher weight-savings, as well as new, energy-efficient, and sustainable manufacturing technologies and materials. Two technologies may contribute particularly to achieving the goals: (i) new and more energy-efficient processes such as additive manufacturing (AM) can be used for part production; (ii) the engine efficiency of airplanes can be significantly improved to save fuel and reduce gas emissions. The latter can be achieved by increasing the engine thermal efficiency, i.e., increasing the turbine inlet temperature. Currently, only single-crystalline cast materials are available to be used for the thermally highest-loaded parts in the gas turbine engine, i.e., the turbine blades in the high-pressure turbine just behind the combustion chamber. These materials rely on a special casting technology, although they lose these original material performances when additive manufactured. In addition, current materials suitable for metal additive manufacturing have a limited range of temperature application. Therefore, the focus is on the development of new materials targeting higher in-service operation temperatures and durability. Recently, a new Ni-based superalloy (VDM 780) has been developed to ensure microstructural stability up to 800 °C. The goal of this work is to provide a deeper understanding of the high temperature fatigue properties of this alloy. This will enable the identification of the maximum operating temperature of this alloy and assess its performance in order to establish its potential in view of a new generation of more efficient aero-engines.

In this process, a laser locally melts feedstock powder to build up a part layer-by-layer. It is this localized processing manner imposing large temperature gradients, resulting in the formation of internal stress and characteristic microstructures. Produced parts inherently contain high levels of residual stress accompanied by columnar grain growth and crystallographic texture. On a smaller scale, the microstructure is characterized by competitive cell-like solidification with micro segregation and dislocation entanglement. In this context, it is crucial to understand the interplay between microstructure, texture, and residual stress to take full advantage of the freedom in design. In fact, X-ray and neutron diffraction are considered as the benchmark for the non-destructive characterization of surface and bulk residual stress. The latter, characterized by a high penetration power in most engineering alloys, allows the use of diffraction angle close to 90°, enabling the employment of a nearly cubic gauge volume. However, the complex hierarchical microstructures produced by additive manufacturing present significant challenges towards the reliable characterization of residual stress by neutron diffraction. Since residual stress is not the direct quantity being measured, the peak shift imposed by the residual stress present in a material must be converted into a macroscopic stress. First, an appropriate lattice plane must be selected that is easily accessible (i.e., high multiplicity) and insensitive to micro strain accumulation. Second, a stress-free reference must be known to calculate a lattice strain, which can be difficult to define for the heterogeneous microstructures produced by additive manufacturing. Third, an appropriate set of diffraction elastic constants that relate the lattice strain to the macroscopic stress must be known. In this presentation, advancements in the field of residual stress analysis using neutron diffraction are presented on the example of the Ni-based superalloy Inconel 718. The effect of the complex microstructure on the determination of residual stress by neutron diffraction is presented. It is shown, how to deal with the determination of the stress-free reference. It is also shown that the selection of an appropriate set of diffraction elastic constants depends on the microstructure. Finally, the role of the crystallographic texture in the determination of the residual stress is shown.

The void distribution of two specimens tested at 600 °C and 650 °C is analyzed before a creep test, after an interruption, and after fracture.

However, to benefit from these design freedoms, knowledge of the high produced induced residual stress and mechanical property anisotropy associated with the unique microstructures is critical. X-ray and neutron diffraction are considered the benchmark for non-destructive characterization of surface and bulk internal residual stress. The latter, characterized by the high penetration power in most engineering alloys, allows for the use of a diffraction angle close to 90° enabling a near cubic sampling volume to be specified. However, the complex microstructures of columnar growth with inherent crystallographic texture typically produced during PBF-LB/M of metallics present significant challenges to the assumptions typically required for time efficient determination of residual stress. These challenges include the selection of an appropriate set of diffraction elastic constants and a representative lattice plane suitable for residual stress analysis. In this contribution, the selection of a suitable lattice plane family for residual stress analysis is explored. Furthermore, the determination of an appropriate set of diffraction and single-crystal elastic constants depending on the underlying microstructure is addressed. In-situ loading experiments have been performed at the Swiss Spallation Neutron Source with the main scope to study the deformation behaviour of laser powder bed fused Inconel 718. Cylindrical tensile bars have been subjected to an increasing mechanical load. At pre-defined steps, neutron diffraction data has been collected. After reaching the yield limit, unloads have been performed to study the accumulation of intergranular strain among various lattice plane families.

On the one hand, this manufacturing technique offers immense geometric freedom in part design due to its layer-by-layer manufacturing strategy. On the other hand, the localized melting and solidification impose the presence of large temperature gradients in the process. From a microstructural perspective, this inevitably results in micro-segregation and a columnar grain structure, often paired with a significant crystallographic texture. Even worse, these large temperature gradients can lead to internal stress-induced deformation or cracking during processing. At the very least, residual stress is retained in the final structures as a footprint of this internal stress. In this context, diffraction-based methods allow the non-destructive characterization of the residual stress field in a non-destructive fashion. However, the accuracy of these methods is directly related to the microstructural characteristics of the material of interest. First, diffraction-based methods access microscopic lattice strains. To relate these lattice strains to a macroscopic stress, so-called diffraction elastic constants must be known. The deformation behavior is directly linked to the microstructure. Therefore, the diffraction elastic constants also depend on the microstructure. Second, the presence of crystallographic texture should be considered in the residual stress determination, as variations in crystal orientations contribute differently to the diffraction signal. Here we present the influence of the microstructure on the determination of residual stress by diffraction-based methods in as-built PBF-LB Inconel 718 parts. We obtained different microstructures by employing two different scanning strategies. In particular, different crystallographic textures were obtained by changing the relative angle of the scan vectors to the geometric axes of the part. The texture-based characterization of the residual stress field was carried out by surface, sub-surface, and bulk residual stress measurements. It was found that the residual stress determination significantly depends on the microstructure for strong crystallographic textures.

Insbesondere Faser-Kunststoff-Verbunde (FKV) erfüllen diese Anforderungen und werden zunehmend für Strukturbauteile eingesetzt. Die Oberflächen moderner Rotorblätter von Windkraftanlagen werden aus FKV gefertigt. Das Versagen dieser Materialien hat massiven Einfluss auf die Einsatzfähigkeit der gesamten Windkraftanlage. Daher ist die Kenntnis des Versagensverhaltens dieser Komponenten unter statischer und zyklischer Belastung von großem Interesse, um die Betriebsbeanspruchung abzuschätzen. Im Idealfall wird die Schadensentwicklung unter Betriebslast mit zerstörungsfreien in-situ-Prüfverfahren ermittelt. Hier berichten wir über die Beobachtung der Rissentwicklung in Carbon-Faserverstärkten Kunststoffen (CFK) unter kontinuierlicher Zugbelastung durch in-situ Synchrotron-Röntgenrefraktionsradiographie. Eine selbst entwickelte elektromechanische Zugprüfmaschine mit einem Kraftbereich bis zu 15 kN wurde in den Strahlengang an der BAMline (BESSY II) integriert. Da in herkömmlichen (Absorptions-) Radiographien Defekte wie Zwischenfaserbrüche oder Faser-Matrix-Enthaftung keinen ausreichenden Kontrast verursachen, wird zur Kontrastanhebung die Röntgenrefraktion benutzt. Hier wird das sogenannte Diffraction Enhanced Imaging (DEI) angewandt, um Primär- und gebrochene Strahlung mit Hilfe eines Analysatorkristalls zu trennen. Diese Technik ermöglicht schnelle Messungen mit einem Gesichtsfeld von einigen Quadratmillimetern (hier: 14 mm × 7.2 mm) und ist ideal für in-situ Untersuchungen.

Bei 0°/90° Fasergelegen treten die ersten Zwischenfaserrisse bei 380 MPa (Dehnung 0.8 %) auf. Vor dem Versagen bei ca. 760 MPa (Dehnung 2.0 %) beobachten wir die Ausbildung eines nahezu äquidistanten Rissmusters (Risse in ca. 1 mm Abstand), das sich im geschädigten Zustand über die gesamte Probe erstreckt.

The exact breakdown mechanism in ceramics and the formulation of useful models are still subject of investigation. Recent studies highlighted that several experimental aspects of dielectric breakdown strength testing affect the test results, and thus impede the recognition of fundamental principles. Excess field strength near the electrode can lead to premature breakdown in the insulating liquid. This would cause superficial damage to the test specimen and thus falsify the measurement results. The field strength distribution is influenced by the ratio of permittivity of the sample and the surrounding insulating liquid. Premature breakdown depends on the breakdown strength of the liquid and the actual test voltage. The test voltage again depends on the specimen thickness. To systematically investigate these relations, a numerical simulation study (FEM) of the electric field distribution in a typical testing rig with cylindrical electrodes was performed. The permittivity of the sample and the insulating liquid was parameterized, as well as the sample thickness. The electric field distribution was calculated for increasing test voltage. Field strength maxima are compared to experimental breakdown strength of typical insulating liquids and experimental breakdown locations on alumina. Strategies are discussed to adjust the insulation liquid and the sample thickness to reduce the influence of the testing setup on the dielectric breakdown strength results.

However, gathering a specific library from such extensive and diverse material data is always challenging for the materials scientists and engineers, since the time-related limitations are not allowed to fully access the large publicly available databases; search across these disparate databases, manage the large volumes of heterogeneous datasets, and integrate data from multiple sources. To address these challenges and make data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR), an efficient data management system is necessary to build comprehensive, documented, and connected data spaces in the future. A formal standardized knowledge representation through an ontology can address such problems and make data more available and interoperable between related domains. Ontology can also rich machine processable semantic descriptions that increases the performance of scientific searches. In this regard, the Platform MaterialDigital (PMD) is currently working on developing a high-level ontology for the materials and material related processes. For example, in one of the PMD projects of “KupferDigital”, we will try to develop a data ecosystem for digital materials research based on ontology-based digital representations of copper and copper alloys. As a case study, this paper describes the methodology for ontology development of Brinell hardness, based on PMD core ontology. The methodology we describe includes the following steps; gathering the required domain terminology from different resources like standards (DIN EN ISO 6506-1) and test reports, representing the performance of a standard-conformant hardness test and the treatment of the recorded values up to a “reportable” hardness value for a material, designing the process chain according to the semantic technologies, and developing a domain-level ontology of Brinell hardness based on PMD ontology semantic formalization. Apart the mentioned methodology, some interesting tools and methods were introduced and ontology design challenges and possible solutions for modelling materials and processes were discussed. Furthermore, a dataset from the Brinell hardness measurement of cast copper samples is prepared for testing the query process.

Tensile tests provide mechanical properties, while microstructure evaluation relies on transmission electron microscopy (TEM), specifically the use of dark-field TEM images for precise dimensional analysis of the precipitates. However, this manual process is time consuming, skill dependent, and prone to errors and reproducibility issues. Our primary goal is to digitally represent these processes while adhering to FAIR principles. Ontologies play a critical role in facilitating semantic annotation of (meta)data and form the basis for advanced data management. Publishing raw data, digital workflows, and ontologies ensures reproducibility. This work introduces innovative solutions to traditional bottlenecks and offers new perspectives on digitalization challenges in materials science.

The crack growth behavior was also characterized under TMF loading (Tmin = 400 °C, Tmax = 700 °C) by applying IP and OP conditions and different load ratios.

These components need periodic replacement to avoid efficiency loss and failure. Repair of these parts is more cost-effective than replacement. State-of-the-art repair technologies, including different additive manufacturing (AM) and brazing processes, are considered for efficient restoration. Materials properties mismatches and/or internal defects in repaired parts may expedite crack initiation and propagation, reducing fatigue life. To understand the crack growth behavior in joining zones and predict the remaining life of repaired components, fatigue crack growth (FCG) tests were conducted on specimens of nickel-based alloys joined via brazing, pre-sintered preforms and AM. The FCG experimental technique was successfully adapted for joined specimens and results indicate that the investigated braze material provides a lower resistance to crack growth. In AM-sandwich specimens, the crack growth rates are significantly reduced at the interface of AM and cast material.

The operating temperatures of modern gas turbines have been increased in pursuit of increased thermal efficiency. Turbine blades are exposed to these high temperatures combined with mechanical stresses, resulting in material damage through creep, fatigue, and other mechanisms. These turbine blades must be regularly inspected and replaced as needed, to prevent the loss of efficiency, breakdown, and catastrophic failure. Repair of the damaged turbine blades is often a more practical and cost-effective option than replacement, as replacement is associated with high costs and loss of material resources. To this end, state-of-the-art repair technologies including different additive manufacturing and brazing processes are considered to ensure efficient repair and optimum properties of repaired components. In any repaired part, materials property-mismatches and/or inner defects may facilitate the crack initiation and propagation and thus reduce the number of load cycles to failure. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of the fatigue crack growth and fracture mechanisms in joining zones is required to enable the prediction of the remaining life of repaired components and to further improve and adapt the repair technologies. Fatigue crack growth experiments have been conducted on SEN (Single Edge Notch) specimens joined via brazing, and pre-sintered Preform (PSP) and multi-materials (casted/printed) specimens layered via additive manufacturing (AM). The experiments were performed at 950 °C and various stress ratios. The crack growth was measured using DCPD (Direct Current Potential Drop) method. The stress intensity factors for joined SEN specimens were calculated using the finite element method and then used to derive the fatigue crack growth curves. Metallographic and fractographic analyses were conducted to get insight into the fracture mechanism. Results show that the experimental technique for fatigue crack growth was successfully adapted and applied for testing joined specimens. Furthermore, the initial tests indicate that the investigated braze filler material provides a lower resistance to crack growth, and bonding defects cause a crack to deviate to the interface of the base material and joining zone. In AM-sandwich specimens, the crack growth rates are significantly reduced when the crack reaches the interface of printed material and casted material. The obtained crack growth data can be used to calibrate a crack growth model, which will further be utilized to predict the remaining life of repaired components.

Despite the intensive research of recent years, a fundamental understanding of the process‑structure‑property relationships remains challenging due to, i.a., the inherently complex and highly hierarchical microstructures arising from the wide range of build process parameter variability. This contribution presents the resu lts of an experimental study on the creep behavior of an austenitic 316L stainless steel produced by laser powder bed fusion (PBF LB/M/316L) with an emphasis on understanding the effects of microstructure on creep mechanisms. Hot tensile tests and constant force creep tests at 600 °C and 650 °C, X ray computed tomography, as well as optical and electron microscopy were performed. The produced PBF LB/M/316L exhibits a low void population 0.01 %) resulting from the manufacturing parameters used and which a llowed us to understand the effects of other microstructural aspects on creep behavior, e.g., grain morphology and dislocation substructure. A hot‑rolled variant of 316L hwas also tested as a reference. The produced PBF LB/M/316L possesses shorter primary and secondary creep stages and times to rupture and smaller creep stress exponents than the hot‑rolled variant. Overall, the creep damage is more extensive in the PBF LB/M/316L and is characterized as predominantly intergranular. It is considered that the damage behavior is mainly impacted by the formation of precipitates at the grain boundaries combined with their unfavorable orientation. The dislocation substructure and local elemental segregation appear to have a decisive impact on the overall creep behavior.

To address these aspects, semantic technologies are employed for storage, processing, and contextualization of data, offering machine-actionable and human-readable knowledge representations crucial for data management. This presentation showcases the prototypical application of generic approaches of knowledge representation in materials science. It includes the design and documentation of graph patterns that may be compiled into rule-based semantic shapes. The development and application of the PMD Core Ontology 3.0 (PMDco 3.0) tailored for materials science is highlighted. Its integration into daily lab life is demonstrated through its functional incorporation into electronic lab notebooks (ELN). Examples of material processing and standardized mechanical testing illustrate how knowledge graph operations enhance ELN capabilities, providing a generalizable unified approach for managing diverse experimental data from different sources with automation potentials.

T1 - Grenzflächenanalyse diffusionsgeschweißter Werkstoffpaarungen Nickel/ Nickelbasis-Superlegierung CMSX-4 N2 - Der Kirkendall-Effekt tritt bei aneinandergrenzenden Metallpaarungen auf, die höheren Temperaturen ausgesetzt sind. Es findet als Funktion von der Temperatur, der Zeit und der Konzentration die Diffusion von Atomen und Leerstellen über die Phasengrenze hinweg statt. Für die Untersuchung des Kirkendall-Effekts wurde mittels Diffusionsschweißens eine Werkstoffpaarung bestehend aus reinem Nickel (Ni) und der Nickelbasis-Superlegierung CMSX-4 hergestellt. Das Gefüge des reinen Nickels ist polykristallin und von CMSX-4 einkristallin. Da der Kirkendall-Effekt neben den oben genannten Parametern zudem von der Kristallorientierung abhängig ist, wurden zwei verschiedene Kristallorientierungen, die [111]- und [001]-Richtungen, gewählt. Aus 3D µ-tomografischen Untersuchungen ist bekannt, dass heiß-isostatisches Pressen (HIP) eine Verringerung der Porosität in CMSX-4 bewirkt, die durch die Erstarrung des Einkristalls bei der Herstellung entsteht [1]. Daher wurden bei den Diffusionsschweißungen Werkstoffpaarungen von reinem Nickel mit drei CMSX-4-Varianten -mit einer γ/γ‘-Mikrostrukturkombiniert: Ni/ CMSX-4 [111], Ni/ CMSX-4 [001] und Ni/ CMSX-4 [001]-HIPed. Die bei der Diffusionsschweißung entstehenden Grenzschichten wurden mittels Stereo-, Licht- und Rasterelektronenmikroskopie sowie EDX-Analysen untersucht. Bei allen Diffusionsschweißungen entstand eine feste Verbindung zwischen den Werkstoffpaarungen. Wie bereits aus [2] bekannt, bildet sich bei allen Proben auf der Rein-Nickelseite der Grenzfläche ein Porensaum aus, während sich auf der CMSX-4-Seite ein γ‘-freie Zone bildet (Abbildung 1). Sowohl die jeweilige Porosität als auch Porengröße des Porensaums der drei Werkstoffpaarungen ist verschieden. Dieses gilt ebenso für die durchschnittliche Schichtdicke der γ‘-freie Zone. Die geringste durchschnittliche Schichtdicke mit 1,45 µm weist die Paarung Ni/ CMSX-4 [001]-HIPed (Abbildung 1b) auf, wobei die Dicke über den Probenquerschnitt konstant ist. Dagegen schwanken die Schichtdicken der γ‘-freie Zonen bei Ni/ CMSX� 4 [111] (Abbildung 1c) zwischen 1,82 – 4,1 µm und Ni/ CMSX-4 [001] (Abbildung 1a) zwischen 1,36 - 4,55 µm. EDX-Messungen (Linescans) von der CMSX-4-Seite über die γ‘-freie Zone bis in den Nickelwerkstoff zeigen den qualitativen Verlauf der Elementkonzentrationen von Nickel und Aluminium (Abbildung 2). Bei allen Werkstoffpaarungen nimmt die Konzentration des Elements Nickel kontinuierlich zu. Während in der Werkstoffpaarung Ni/CMSX-4 [111] der Konzentrationszunahme symmetrisch über die Grenzfläche verläuft, weist Nickel bei den Werkstoffpaarungen Ni/CMSX-4 mit [001]-Orientierung keinen symmetrischer Konzentrationsverlauf auf. Daraus lässt sich schließen, dass hier die Diffusion von Nickel über die Grenzfläche in die γ‘-freie Zone in Abhängigkeit von der Kristallorientierung unterschiedlich stattfindet. Entgegengesetzt diffundiert das Element Aluminium von der CMSX-4-Seite zur Nickelseite, wie sich aus dem ebenfalls unsymmetrischen Elementverlauf schließen lässt. Bemerkenswert ist hier ein Knick, der sich nach einem Steilabfall einem Plateau anschließt, wie im vergrößerten Ausschnitt in Abbildung 2 mit einem roten Pfeil markiert ist. Dieser Verlauf ist von der Kristallorientierung unabhängig und ist auf die bessere Diffusivität von Al im Vergleich zu Ni zurückzuführen.

Bei einer derartigen digitalen Beschreibung spielen Datenanalysemethoden, eine Qualitätssicherung von Prozessen inklusive Input- und Output-Daten sowie die Interoperabilität zwischen Anwendungen nach den FAIR-Prinzipien eine wichtige Rolle. Dies umfasst das Speichern, Verarbeiten und Abfragen von Daten in einer vorzugsweise standardisierten Form (Beteiligung von Normungsgremien). Zur Bewältigung dieser Herausforderung ist eine mit allen Stakeholdern konsistente Kontextualisierung der Materialdaten anzustreben, d.h. alle erforderlichen Informationen über den Zustand des Materials einschließlich produktions- und anwendungsbezogener Änderungen müssen über eine einheitliche, maschinenlesbare Beschreibung verfügbar gemacht werden. Dazu werden Wissensrepräsentationen und Konzeptualisierungen ermöglichende Ontologien verwendet. Eine zentrale Betrachtungsweise in diesem Zusammenhang ist die Realisierung von (automatisierten) Datenpipelines, die eine Beschreibung und Verfolgung von Daten ausgehend von ihrer Erzeugung, bspw. in einem Messgerät, bis zu ihrer globalen Verwendung in möglicherweise verschiedenen Kontexten beinhalten. Erste Bemühungen und Ansätze zu diesen Problemstellungen führten im Projekt Innovations-Plattform Material Digital (PMD, materialdigital.de) zur Erstellung von Anwendungsontologien, die Prozesse und Testmethoden explizit beschreiben. Dabei wurde u.a. der Zugversuch an Metallen bei Raumtemperatur nach ISO 6892-1 ontologisch beschrieben. Diese als Beispiel dienende Ontologieentwicklung wird in dieser Präsentation vorgestellt. Weiterhin wurde, ausgehend von der domänenspezifischen Entwicklung von Anwendungsontologien, eine Kernontologie erstellt, die eine übergeordnete Verbindung von ontologischen Konzepten aufgrund der Verwendung gleichen Vokabulars und semantischer Verknüpfungen erlaubt. Diese sowie die das PMD-Projekt selbst werden ebenfalls in dieser Präsentation vorgestellt.

The topical goal of digitalizing materials and processes can only be adequately addressed by consolidating the efforts of all stakeholders in this field. There are many scattered activities, but there is a demand for an elimination of redundancies as well as an advance in acceptance and a common basis in the digitalization of materials. Furthermore, data analysis methods play an important role in both, the experimental and simulation-based digital description of materials, but they have been poorly structured so far. Therefore, the two joint projects Platform Material Digital (PMD, materialdigital.de) and Materials open Laboratory (Mat-o-Lab, matolab.de) aim to contribute to a standardized description of data processing methods in materials research. Besides stimulating the formation of a collaborative community in this respect, their main technical goals are the quality assurance of the processes and the output data, the acquisition and definition of their accuracy as well as the interoperability between applications. In this regard, data management in accordance with the FAIR (findability, accessibility, interoperability, reuseability) principles is addressed. There is a common agreement in the scientific community following current discussions that data is supposed to be conform to these principles. This includes storage, processing and querying of data in a preferably standardized form. To meet the challenge to contextualize material data in a way that is consistent with all stakeholders, all necessary information on the condition of the material including production and application-related changes have to be made available via a uniform, machine-readable description. For this purpose, ontologies are to be used since they allow for machine-understandable knowledge representations and conceptualizations that are needed for data management and the digitalization in the field of materials science. As first efforts in PMD and Mat-o-Lab, application ontologies are created to explicitly describe processes and test methods. Thereby, the well-known tensile test of metals at room temperature was described ontologically in accordance with the respective ISO standard 6892-1:2019-11. The efforts in creating this tensile test application ontology are shown in this presentation. Especially, the path of ontology development based on standards to be pursued is focused, which is in accordance with the generic recommendations for ontology development and which is supposed to be exemplary for the creation of other application ontologies.

However, building a domain ontology is not a simple task. It requires not only a collaborative effort between ontologists and domain experts, but also the modeling approaches and tools play a key role in the process. Among all approaches, graphical representation of domain ontologies based on standard conceptual modeling languages is widely used because of its intuitiveness and simplicity. Various tools have been developed to realize this approach in an intuitive way, such as Protégé plugins and web visualization tools. The Materials-open-Lab (MatOLab) project, which aims to develop ontologies and workflows in accordance with testing standards for the materials science and engineering domains, adopted a UML (Unified Modeling Language) approach based on the diagrams.net. It is a powerful, popular, open-source graphical editor. In practical case studies, however, many users’ needs could not be met, such as reusing ontology, conversion, and data mapping. Users must switch between different tools to achieve a certain step, and thereby invariably increase learning cost. The lack of validation also leads to incorrect diagrams and results for users who are not familiar with the ontology rules. To address these issues, we designed Ontopanel, a diagrams.net-based plugin that includes a set of pipeline tools for semantic modeling: importing and displaying protégé-like ontologies, converting diagrams to OWL, validating diagrams by OWL rules, and mapping data. It uses diagrams.net as the front-end for method modeling and Django as the back-end for data processing. As a web-based tool, it is very easy to expand its functionality to meet changing practical needs.

T1 - Development of an ontology for the lifecycle of copper and copper alloys N2 - Efforts towards digitalization in the material science and technology community have enhanced in the last years. In 2019 the German digitalization initiative platform „MaterialDigital“1 (MD) has been started. Numerous projects concerning digitalization, including the copper related project „KupferDigital“ (copper digital) have been initiated under the umbrella of MD. The initiative strives to address numerous issues concerning data access, exchange, security, provenance and sovereignty. Heterogeneous data origin, storage and evaluation often result in problems concerning comparability and reproducibility of scientific and technological results. In many cases material data are recorded, but the methods of testing are insufficiently described, or such information is not communicated along with the raw data. The material data can also have numerous different formats such as paper printouts, pdfs, excel sheets or csv-files. Hence, gathering and integrating material data from different sources is challenging for potential users like materials scientists and engineers, especially if there are contradictory data where the reasons for contradictions is not clear due their vague description. In order to address these problems, data should comply to the so called „FAIR“ principle which calls for data to be findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR)2 and hence be accessible via so-called decentralized but interconnected data spaces. By using knowledge representation withontologies, data can be enriched with meaning and the methods of the testing procedures can be accurately provided. In this presentation we want to introduce our approach to such knowledge representation based on a high-throughput alloy development process for Cu-based alloys³ along with characterization techniques such as hardness testing and microstructural characterization (e.g. EBSD – Electron Backscattered Diffraction).

Insbesondere sind bei den Digitalisierungsbestrebungen die Qualitätssicherung von Prozessen und Ausgabedaten sowie die Interoperabilität zwischen Anwendungen nach FAIR-Prinzipien (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, Reusability) sicherzustellen. Dies umfasst die Speicherung, Verarbeitung und Abfrage von Daten in möglichst standardisierter Form, wobei entsprechend auch Normungs- und Standardisierungsgremien beteiligt werden müssen. Um der Herausforderung gerecht zu werden, Materialdaten für alle Beteiligten konsistent zu kontextualisieren, müssen alle notwendigen Informationen zum Zustand des Materials inklusive produktions- und anwendungsbedingter Veränderungen über eine einheitliche, maschinenlesbare Beschreibung verfügbar gemacht werden. Hierfür sollen Ontologien genutzt werden, da sie maschinenverständliche und -interpretierbare Wissensrepräsentationen durch semantische Konzeptualisierungen ermöglichen, die für das Datenmanagement und die Digitalisierung im Bereich der Materialwissenschaften benötigt werden. Dieses hochaktuelle Thema der Integration und Wiederverwendung von Wissen und Daten aus Herstellung, Bearbeitung und Charakterisierung von Materialien wird in den Projekten Innovationsplattform MaterialDigital (PMD, materialdigital.de) und Materials-open-Lab (Mat-o-Lab, matolab.org) adressiert. Diese beiden unter der Beteiligung der Bundeanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) durchgeführten Projekte wurden auf der 39. Vortrags- und Diskussionstagung „Werkstoffprüfung“ (2021) grundlegend vorgestellt. In dieser Präsentation sollen die Weiterentwicklungen hinsichtlich der Speicherung von Zugversuchsdaten gemäß einer normenkonformen ontologischen Repräsentation vorgestellt werden. Das umfasst den Weg von der Entwicklung einer Ontologie nach Norm, der Konvertierung von Daten aus Standardtests in das interoperable RDF-Format bis hin zur Verknüpfung von Ontologie und Daten. Letztendlich können die entsprechenden Daten in einem Triple Store abgelegt und abgefragt werden. Die übliche Standardisierung von mechanischen Prüfverfahren im Bereich der Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik dient als solide Grundlage für die Ontologieentwicklung. Daher wurde der Zugversuch von Metallen bei Raumtemperatur nach DIN EN ISO Norm 6892-1:2019-11 als einer der ersten Anwendungsfälle in den genannten Projekten ausgewählt. Die Betrachtung und Beschreibung des Zugversuchs beinhaltet sowohl dessen ontologische Darstellung als auch eine exemplarische Datengenerierung. Die semantische Verbindung von Ontologie und Daten führt zu Interoperabilität und einer verbesserten Abfragefähigkeit.

In age-hardenable aluminum alloys, the strengthening mechanism is based on the controlled formation of nanometer sized precipitates, which hinder dislocation movement. Analysis of the microstructure and especially the precipitates by transmission electron microscopy allows identification of precipitate types and orientations. Dark-field imaging is often used to image the precipitates and quantify their relevant dimensions. The present work aims at the digital representation of this material-specific characterization method. Instead of a time-consuming, manual image analysis, a digital approach is demonstrated. The integration of an exemplary digital workflow for quantitative precipitation analysis into a data pipeline concept is presented. Here ontologies enable linking of contextual information to the resulting output data in a triplestore. Publishing digital workflow and ontologies ensures the reproducibility of the data. The semantic structure enables data sharing and reuse for other applications and purposes, demonstrating interoperability.

This is caused by thermal loads that are close to the age hardening temperature and can even exceed it for a short time. The aging mechanisms have been investigated together with low cycle fatigue (LCF), thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) and creep up to max. 190 °C in previous research projects. The behavior of the alloy under high cycle fatigue (HCF) and the influence of load spectra have hardly been investigated. Since the operating temperatures of centrifugal compressors are expected to increase in the future, this research project investigated the HCF behavior at 230 °C, a test temperature significantly higher than the age hardening temperature. The objectives of the project were to establish a suitable experimental database, to understand the relevant microstructural processes, and to further develop and adapt suitable models and evaluation methods. In addition to a basic characterization of the HCF behavior in the initial condition T61, the experimental investigation program included targeted mechanical tests to isolate the influencing factors of mean stress (𝑅 = −1, 𝑅 = 0.1), material overaging (T61, 10 h/230 °C, 1000 h/230 °C), test temperature (20 °C, 230 °C), test frequency (0.2 Hz, 20 Hz) as well as variable amplitudes. On this basis, the models and evaluation methods developed in the previous projects were adapted and further developed to reflect thermal and mechanical loads in the lifetime assessment.

This includes the path from developing an ontology in accordance with the respective standard, converting ordinary data obtained from standard tests into the interoperable RDF format, up to connecting the ontology and data. The semantic connection of the ontology and data leads to interoperability and an enhanced ability of querying. For further reusability of data and knowledge semantically stored, the PMD core ontology (PMDco) was developed, which is a mid-level ontology in the field of MSE. The semantic connection of the tensile test application ontology to the PMDco is also presented. Moreover, Ontopanel, a tool for domain experts facilitating visual ontology development and mapping for FAIR data sharing in MSE, is introduced briefly.

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.

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.

Compared to polymers and metals, ceramic materials are characterized by the fact that they have a wide electronic band gap and therefore a wide optical window of transparency. The optical window generally ranges from less than 0.3 µm to 5 µm wavelength. Therefore, to focus light into the volume of a ceramic powder compact, its light scattering properties need to be tailored. In this study, we present the physical background and material development strategies for the application of two-photon polymerization (2PP), Xolography and selective volumetric sintering for the additive manufacturing of structures in the volume of ceramic slips and green compacts.

The process only needs one type of feedstock such as powder or filament and only as much material as the final part requires, giving it a huge weight benefit over traditional subtractive methods. While 3D printers are already operational on the ISS since 2014, the utilized processes are only capable of manufacturing relatively low strength parts from polymers not suitable for many tools or critical components. To gain access to high quality metal prints, a modified Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) process was developed to stabilize the critical powder bed in microgravity through a gas flow [2]. This setup was able to generate a (miniature) steel wrench during parabolic flights, but a reliable layer deposition has raised challenges due to the combination of gas flow parameters with microgravity conditions. Furthermore, the quality and density of the powder bed, which is critical for the process, cannot be examined afterward on the ground. This is due to hyper gravity phases during the flight that are influencing the properties of the powder bed. In this paper, the challenges of the layer deposition are revised, and the subsequent evolution of the recoating system explained. Later, the challenges of an in-situ quality control, evaluation, and quantification of the properties of the powder bed are examined. As a solution, a high-resolution line-scanner is proposed and its implementation int the compact LPBF system demonstrated. Its ability to measure common defects such as ridges in the deposited layer is shown in experiments at normal gravity. As an illustration, Figure 1 shows an extreme case of the formation of ridges.

The screening of coatings shows that the modification by adding individual pigment was not sufficient to protect carbon steel even during a short-term exposure, indicated by the discoloration after only seven days of exposure. Electrochemical tests indicated that there was no significant change in the Ecorr between the coated and uncoated carbon steel at room temperature. At 150 °C, the coated carbon steel has a lower potential than that of carbon steel, indicating that the coating is protecting carbon steel cathodically or slowing down the corrosion reaction. Finally, a long-term exposure test confirmed that the PANI/SiO2 modified coating successfully protects the carbon steel in the Sibayak artificial geothermal water up to 150 °C for 6 months.

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 LSD technology can be combined with binder jetting to develop the so-called “LSD-print” process. LSD-print combines the high-speed printing of binder jetting with the possibility of producing a variety of high-quality ceramics with properties comparable to traditional processing. 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.

The application of these techniques to most ceramics has been difficult due to the challenges associated with the deposition of homogeneous powder layers when using fine powders. In this context, layerwise slurry deposition (LSD) has been developed as a deposition method that enables the use of powder bed AM technologies for advanced ceramic materials. In layerwise slurry deposition, a ceramic slurry is deposited in layers using a doctor blade and dried to produce a highly compacted powder. Not only can very fine submicron powders with low organic content be processed, but the dense powder bed also provides excellent support for the manufactured parts. The latest development of this technology shows that it is possible to print ceramic parts in a continuous process by depositing a layer on a rotating platform on which a powder bed grows in a spiral motion. The unique mechanical stability of the layers in LSD printing makes it possible to build up a powder bed several centimeters thick without lateral support. Continuous layer deposition achieves more than 10 times the productivity of linear deposition, approaching a build volume of 1 liter per hour.

This study introduces a novel methodology that leverages the intrinsic microstructural features of additively manufactured components for their identification, authentication, and traceability. Unlike traditional tagging methods, such as embedding QR codes on the surface [1] or within the volume of parts, this approach requires no alteration to the printing process, as it utilizes naturally occurring microstructural characteristics. The proposed workflow [2] involves the analysis of 3D micro-computed tomography data to identify specific voids that meet predefined identification criteria. This method is demonstrated on a batch of 20 parts manufactured with identical process parameters, proving capable of achieving unambiguous identification and authentication. By establishing a tamper-proof link between the physical part and its digital counterpart, this methodology effectively bridges the physical and digital realms. This not only enhances the traceability of additively manufactured parts but also provides a robust tool for integrating digital materials, parts databases, and product passports with their physical counterparts.
