T1 - High temperature mechanical testing of metals T2 - Handbook of Mechanics of Materials N2 - Performing mechanical tests at high temperatures is a nontrivial issue: Compared to room temperature testing, additional phenomena like time-dependent Deformation processes and oxidation effects raise the complexity of the material’s response, while more sophisticated test setups and additional control parameters increase the number of potential sources of error. To a large extent, these complications can be overcome by carefully following all recommendations given in the respective high temperature testing standards, but more comprehensive background information helps to identify points of specific importance in particular test campaigns. In this chapter, an overview is given on general high temperature testing issues like the appropriate choice of experimental equipment and key aspects of temperature measurement. In subsequent sections, the major static and dynamic high temperature test methods are reviewed and their Special features, as compared to testing at room temperature, are highlighted based on example data sets. Influences of specimen size and environmental effects are shortly outlined in a concluding section. In the whole chapter, a focus is set on testing of “classical” metallic high temperature materials, but many considerations are equally valid for testing of intermetallics, composites, and high temperature ceramics.

This comprises particularly the consideration of material aging, which has to be anticipated during operation of such components under relevant service conditions (temperature, time, stress). First of all, a solid experimental database was established for the investigated material. This includes a mechanical as well as a microstructural characterization of the as-received state (T61) and after aging up to 25,000 h at relevant service temperatures (160 °C, 180 °C, 190 °C). The microstructural investigations focused on the development of the radii of the cylindrical hardening phase, which coarsens during aging. The relation between aging temperature, time and mechanical load (if applicable) was established for the first time to this extent. An interrelationship to describe the coarsening was established. The effect of aging on hardness, strength, creep behavior and fatigue lifetime (LCF, TMF) was studied and a correlation to the microstructure was established. The results of the creep tests were used to calibrate a modified hyperbolic sine creep model. A time and temperature dependent deformation model according to Chaboche, which describes the relevant phenomena of high temperature deformation and cyclic plasticity, was extended. It now considers material aging by describing the strength not only as a function of temperature but also as a function of aging, i.e. of the mean radius of the precipitates. A similar procedure was applied to extend the model in order to assess the fatigue lifetime. The calculated lifetimes of LCF and TMF tests completed during this project match well with the experimental results. Only one LCF test with a hold time of 900 s in tension deviates clearly from the mean value and shows the limits of the time independent damage model. Tests with shorter hold times of 60 s are within the scatter band, likewise the different aging conditions. A damage accumulation model additionally describing the progressive aging during lifetime was developed and implemented. Besides considering aging in the deformation and lifetime assessment, it is also possible to judge complex loading cycles in a postprocessing by rain flow classification of typical complex loading cycles. The methodology and the models were implemented into the Finite-Element software Abaqus and Ansys and are available for numerical assessment of components. N2 - In diesem Forschungsvorhaben wurde ein Verfahren entwickelt, um die Genauigkeit der Lebensdauerbewertung für Abgasturbolader (ATL)-Verdichterräder aus der ausscheidungs-härtbaren Aluminiumlegierung EN AW-2618A zu verbessern. Dies umfasst insbesondere die Berücksichtigung der Werkstoffalterung, mit der beim Einsatz dieser Bauteile unter entsprechender Betriebsbeanspruchung (Temperatur, Zeit, Spannung) gerechnet werden muss. Zunächst wurde eine solide experimentelle Datenbasis für den untersuchten Werkstoff geschaffen. Dies umfasste sowohl eine mechanische als auch eine mikrostrukturelle Charakterisierung des Ausgangszustands (T61) sowie von ausgelagerten Zuständen bis zu 25.000 h bei betriebsrelevanten Temperaturen (160 °C, 180 °C, 190 °C). Bei den Untersuchungen zur Mikrostruktur wurde der Fokus auf die Entwicklung der Radien der stäbchen-förmigen aushärtenden Phase gelegt, die während der Alterung vergröbern. Der Zusammenhang zwischen Auslagerungstemperatur, -zeit und ggfs. mechanischer Belastung wurde erstmals in diesem Umfang quantifiziert und entsprechende Gesetzmäßigkeiten zur Beschreibung der Vergröberung ermittelt. Vergleichend dazu wurde der Einfluss der Alterung auf die Härte, die Festigkeit, das Kriechverhalten und die Ermüdungslebensdauer (LCF, TMF) bestimmt, so dass eine Korrelation zur Mikrostruktur vorliegt. Die Ergebnisse der Kriechversuche wurden zur Kalibrierung eines modifizierten Sinus-hyperbolicus-Kriechmodells verwendet. Ein zeit- und temperaturabhängiges Verformungsmodell nach Chaboche, welches die wesentlichen Phänomene der Hochtemperaturverformung und der Wechselplastizität beschreibt, wurde erweitert und berücksichtigt nun die Werkstoffalterung, indem die Festigkeit nicht nur als Funktion der Temperatur, sondern auch des Alterungszustands (d. h. des mittleren Radius der Ausscheidungen) dargestellt wird. Für die Erweiterung des Modells zur Bewertung der Ermüdungslebensdauer wurde analog verfahren. Die berechnete Lebensdauer der im Verlauf des Vorhabens durchgeführten LCF- und TMF-Versuche stimmt gut mit den experimentellen Ergebnissen überein. Lediglich ein LCF-Versuch mit einer Haltezeit von 900 s im Zug weicht deutlich vom Mittelwert ab und zeigt die Grenzen des zeitunabhängigen Schädigungsmodells auf. Versuche mit kürzeren Haltezeiten bis zu 60 s liegen im Streuband, ebenso die verschiedenen Alterungszustände. Eine Schädigungsakkumulation unter Berücksichtigung der fortschreitenden Alterung über der Lebensdauer wurde entwickelt und implementiert. Neben der Berücksichtigung der Alterung in der Verformungs- und Lebensdaueranalyse besteht auch die Möglichkeit, komplexe Belastungszyklen in einem Postprozessing zu bewerten, indem Rainflow-Klassierungen typischer komplexer Belastungszyklen vorgenommen werden. Die Methodik und die Modelle wurden in die Finite-Elemente-Programme Abaqus und Ansys implementiert und stehen für die rechnerische Bewertung von Bauteilen zur Verfügung.

The overageing process of the alloy was investigated under load at a temperature of 190 °C with stresses between 79 and 181 MPa and compared to stress free isothermal ageing. The precipitates responsible for strength were characterized using dark-field transmission electron microscopy (DFTEM). This allows the experimental Determination of radii distributions of the rod-shaped Al2CuMg precipitates and the evaluation regarding their mean precipitate radius. It was found that the mean precipitate radius enables the comparison of the different microstructural conditions of crept and uncrept samples. The mean precipitate radii of the samples experiencing creep are significantly higher than those of undeformed samples. It was shown that the acquired radii distributions are viable to determine averaged particle radii for comparison of the aged samples. A ripening process including pipe diffusion along dislocations describes the data on coarsening very well for the creep samples.

T1 - Lebensdauerberechnung von Aluminium-Radialverdichterrädern unter Berücksichtigung der Werkstoffalterung N2 - Die Mikrostruktur von ausscheidungsgehärteten Aluminiumlegierungen ist von herausragender Bedeutung für ihre Festigkeit, da nur Werkstoffe mit gezielt eingestellter Mikrostruktur für Radialverdichterräder ausreichende Festigkeiten erreichen. Diese optimierte Mikrostruktur ändert sich jedoch während des Betriebs, denn die Bauteile werden bei Temperaturen eingesetzt, die nahe der Aushärtetemperatur liegen oder sogar darüber hinausgehen und folglich ist mit Alterung der Mikrostruktur und damit einhergehender Degradation der Eigenschaften zu rechnen. Diese Effekte konnten bisher in der Lebensdauervorhersage nicht berücksichtigt werden, da ihre diesbezüglichen Auswirkungen lediglich qualitativ bekannt waren. In diesem Forschungsvorhaben wurde daher für die Legierung EN AW-2618A einerseits eine sorgfältige und umfassende Charakterisierung der Gefügeentwicklung für anwendungsrelevante Temperaturen und Zeiten bis zu 25.000 h vorgenommen und andererseits eine solide Datenbasis bezüglich der mechanischen Eigenschaften (Zugfestigkeit, Kriechwiderstand, LCF-, TMF-Verhalten) und ihren Änderungen geschaffen. Darauf aufbauend wurde ein Verfahren entwickelt, um die Genauigkeit der Lebensdauerbewertung für Abgasturbolader (ATL)-Verdichterräder aus EN AW-2618A zu verbessern.

T1 - Etude expérimentale des mécanismes de fermeture des pores par CIC dans un superalliage monocristallin CMSX4 N2 - Data about the creep behaviour of metals and their alloys at temperatures close to the melting point are very limited. The reason is that most engineering alloys are used at temperatures below 0.6-0.8 of their melting point, so, investigation of creep at higher temperatures has no practical relevance. For some special applications however it is important, in our case hot isostatic pressing (HIP) of singlecrystal turbine blades cast from nickel-base superalloys. In order to remove porosity the blades are HIPed at temperatures between -solvus and solidus where superalloy has no strengthening -phase and therefore is very soft. For example, the company Howmet Castings HIPs the superalloy CMSX-4 at the temperature 1288°C, which corresponds to a homologous temperature of about 0.97=1561 K/1612 K (solidus temperature). Knowledge about the creep behaviour of CMSX-4 at this temperature and understanding of the creep mechanisms are necessary to model the kinetics of pore closure during HIPing as well as to plan the parameters of the HIP process. N2 - Les aubes de turbines à gaz utilisées en particulier pour les turboréacteurs de l’aéronautique sont élaborées par fonderie en superalliage monocristallin à base de nickel. Le procédé de fonderie, ainsi que les traitements thermique d’homogénéisation réalisés à très haute température, induisent la présence de pores au sein des pièces qui affectent les propriétés mécaniques et la durée de vie des aubes. Afin de réduire cette porosité les motoristes effectuent un traitement de compression isostatique à chaud (CIC) au cours duquel la porosité diminue par fermeture des pores. Afin de mieux comprendre les mécanismes impliqués au cours du traitement de CIC, nous avons lancé un programme de recherche dans le cadre du projet ERA-Net MICROPORE. La modélisation par champ de phase des mécanismes en jeu est présentée au cours de ce colloque. Nous présentons dans cette affiche un des volets de la caractérisation expérimentale du projet. Des échantillons de superalliage CMSX4 sont observés après traitement de mise en solution et CIC sous 103 MPa à 1288°C pour différentes durées. Les pores présents sont caractérisés par microscopie électronique à balayage (MEB) afin de suivre l’évolution du taux de porosité au cours du traitement. Une caractérisation plus détaillée de pores partiellement refermés est menée par MEB et grâce à la diffraction des électrons rétrodiffusés (EBSD). Une vision tridimensionnelle de ces défauts est obtenue par des coupes métallographiques effectuées par découpe ionique (FIB). Le projet ERA – Net MICROPORE est financé en Allemagne par la DFG (projects EP 136/1-1 and FE933/2-1) et en France par l’ANR (projects ANR15-MERA-000-03 and ANR15-MERA-0003-04).

T1 - Temperature-induced transformations and martensitic reorientation processes in ultra-fine-grained Ni rich pseudoelastic NiTi wires studied by electrical resistance JF - Journal of Alloys and Compounds N2 - Temperature-induced, stress-induced martensitic phase transitions and martensite reorientation process in Ni rich (50.9 at.%) NiTi pseudoelastic NiTi wires with ultra-fine grained (UFG) microstructure were studied by electrical resistance measurements. Measurements of the electrical resistance as a function of temperature at different constant mechanical loads accompanied by complementary experiments with variable loads at constant temperature were performed. Results show that the transformation mechanisms in UFG microstructures exhibit a higher level of complexity when compared with those characterizing the behavior of other microstructures (e.g., recrystallized or larger grains size). It was found that a threshold stress level below 150 MPa delimits the transition from a homogeneous (low stress) to localized but reversible Lüders type transformation (high stress) when the transformations are induced under constant applied stress and that reorientation processes require stresses of 100 MPa in the present UFG wires. Even though the strain evolutions do not always show two distinct yielding events during cooling or heating, electrical resistance measurements proved that a two-step transformation involving R-phase and B19' martensite was always present in the extended range of temperatures and stresses investigated here.

T1 - Creep of single crystals of nickel-based superalloys at ultra-high homologous temperature JF - Metallurgical and materials transactions A N2 - The creep behavior of single crystals of the nickel-based superalloy CMSX-4 was investigated at 1288 °C, which is the temperature of the hot isostatic pressing treatment applied to this superalloy in the industry. It was found that at this super-solvus temperature, where no gammaPrime-strengthening occurs, the superalloy is very soft and rapidly deforms under stresses between 4 and 16 MPa. The creep resistance was found to be very anisotropic, e.g., the creep rate of [001] crystals was about 11 times higher than that of a [111] crystal. The specimens of different orientations also showed a very different necking behavior. The reduction of the cross-sectional area psi of [001] crystals reached nearly 100 pct, while for a [111] crystal psi = 62 pct. The EBSD analysis of deformed specimens showed that despite such a large local strain the [001] crystals did not recrystallize, while a less deformed [111] crystal totally recrystallized within the necking zone. The recrystallization degree was found to be correlated with deformation behavior as well as with dwell time at high temperature. From the analysis of the obtained results (creep anisotropy, stress dependence of the creep rate, traces of shear deformation, and TEM observations), it was concluded that the main strain contribution resulted from <01-1>{111} octahedral slip.

The specimens were subjected to different amounts of tensile deformation and the deformation-induced SMLFs were measured using a GMR sensor after unloading the specimens. 3D-nonlinear finite element modeling was performed to predict stress–strain state in a steel specimen under tensile load. The experimentally obtained SMLF images were correlated with the finite element model predicted stress–strain states. Studies reveal that the MMM technique can detect the plastic deformation with signal-to-noise ratio better than 20 dB. The technique enables the mapping of plastic deformation in carbon steels for the evaluation of the severity of deformation. The study also reveals that deformation-induced SMLF is influenced by the presence of initial surface residual stress, introduced by shot peening. The intensity of SMLF signal is found to increase with increase in tensile load and decrease with shot peening.

Those lids are equipped with metal seals (e.g. Helicoflex®) that ensure the safe enclosure of the inventory. The used metal seals consist of three components as can be seen in the cross-sectional view in Figure 1. The innermost part is a helical spring that is surrounded by an inner jacket made of stainless steel. The outer jacket that is made of a softer material which in case of assembly in the aforementioned storage containers is silver or aluminum (i.e. Al 99.5). During application the seal is compressed and due to the restoring force of the helical spring, the outer jacket is plastically deformed and adapts to the sealing surface. Hence, leakage paths are closed and the sealing function is generated. In Germany the above-mentioned containers are licensed for up to 40 years of interim storage, which in case extended storage becomes necessary before a final repository is available will have to be extended to even longer periods. Therefore, the evaluation of the long-term behavior of the seals is necessary, taking into account storage conditions, decay heat and possible mechanical loads as well. At Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung (BAM) long-term investigations are being conducted in which seals are assembled in test flanges and aged at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 150°C for accelerated aging. The aged seals are tested semi-annually (after the first 6 months in which the seals are tested more frequently) regarding the sealing performance, the remaining seal force, and the useable resilience upon decompression. Results of these investigations have been published over the past years (e.g. Grelle, Wolff, Probst, Jaunich, & Völzke, 2017; Völzke, Wolff, Probst, Nagelschmidt, & Schulz, 2014). It was found that the seal force and the useable resilience decrease with time and temperature, which is in agreement with the result of other studies (Sassoulas et al., 2006; Wataru et al., 2016) as well. Geometry change of the outer jacket has been identified as the main reason for this seal behavior. At the prevailing operating temperatures and stresses the aluminum is subjected to creep deformation leading to a thinning of the outer jacket. Since the seal groove depth remains unchanged the helical spring expands, which in turn leads to a decrease of the generated spring and seal force. Although the main reason for the change of seal parameters over time and temperature is known, a detailed characterization of the seal behavior and a reliable prediction of the parameter development for aging times that exceed the experimental time frame have not been possible, yet. For deeper understanding of the aging processes, an Investigation program, which is covered in this contribution, is conducted at Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung (BAM) that focusses on the behavior of the aluminum jacket and its influence on the long-term sealing performance. The program investigates properties of material samples as well as the behavior of the seal as a component. Original sheet material of the same aluminum that is used for manufacturing of the seals is investigated in compression creep tests. For this, a DMA (dynamic mechanical analysis) machine is employed (here used for static tests) that allows for a measurement of the specimens deformation under forces of up to 500 N. The advantage of this method is that the original material can be tested in the same shape as used for the seals which is 0.5 mm thick sheet material. For investigation of tensile creep standard specimens are used, that were machined from surrogate material of the same composition and annealing condition. Furthermore, aluminum seals that are cut into smaller segments are assembled in flanges and placed in heating chambers at temperatures ranging from 23°C to 150°C. After different periods of time from 3 days to 300 days the segments are taken out of the flanges and are investigated, thus giving information on different states of aging. Measurements of the development of the seal contact width and the aluminum jacket thickness are done with an optical microscope. Further investigations on the segments will include metallography and hardness measurements. From the detailed material and component behavior including the results of the long-term seal force and useable resilience investigations a better understanding of the overall seal behavior can be gained. The aim is to contribute to the development of material models and analytical approaches for the prediction of the sealing behavior in dependence of time and temperature.

Spherical indentation was chosen to produce a multiaxial elastic–plastic deformation state. After removing the residual imprint, the Bitter technique was applied, and macroscopic contrast differences were captured in optical microscopy. To verify this novel characterisation technique, characteristic “hemispherical” deformation zones evolving during indentation were identified using an analytical model from the field of contact mechanics. In addition, near-surface residual stresses were determined experimentally using synchrotron radiation diffraction. It is established that the magnetic domain distribution contrast provides deformation-related information: regions of different domain wall densities correspond to different “hemispherical” deformation zones (i.e., to hydrostatic core, plastic zone and elastic zone, respectively). Moreover, the transitions between these three zones correlate with characteristic features of the residual stress profiles (sign changes in the radial and local extrema in the hoop stress). These results indicate the potential of magnetic domain distribution imaging: visualising macroscopic deformation gradients in fine-grained ferromagnetic material with a significantly improved spatial resolution as compared to integral, mean value-based measurement methods.

Tagung des DVM-Arbeitskreises Additiv gefertigte Bauteile und Strukturen N2 - Diese Arbeit beschreibt eine Methode für die Ermittlung einer Fließfunktion für additiv gefertigte Bauteile des Werkstoffs S316L. Ein Kristallplastizitätsmodell wird zunächst mit experimentellen Daten kalibriert. Anschließend werden mit diesem Modell sogenannte virtuelle Experimente durchgeführt, die die prozeßspezifische Mikrostruktur in Form von kristallographischen und morphologischen Texturen miteinbeziehen. Diese Simulationen werden mit einem representativen Volumenelement (RVE) durchgeführt, das aus EBSD/CT-Scans an additiv gefertigten Proben generiert wurde und daher die Kornstruktur und Kristallorientierungen enthält. Die virtuellen Experimente werden durchgeführt, um anhand der damit erhaltenen Fließpunkte eine anisotrope Barlat-Fließfunktion zu bestimmen. Dieser skalenübergreifende Ansatz ermöglicht die Simulation großer Strukturen, für die die Anwendung eines Kristallplastizitätsmodells numerisch zu teuer wäre. N2 - This work presents a method for the yield function determination of additively manufactured parts of S316L steel. A crystal plasticity model is calibrated with test results and used afterwards to perform so-called virtual experiments, that account for the specific process-related microstructure including crystallographic and morphological textures. These simulations are undertaken on a representative volume element (RVE), that is generated from EBSD/CT-Scans on in-house additively manufactured specimen, considering grain structure and crystal orientations. The results of the virtual experiments are used to determine an anisotropic Barlat yield function, that can be used in a macroscopical continuum-sense afterwards. This scale-bridging approach enables the calculation of large-scale parts, that would be numerically too expensive to be simulated by a crystal plasticity model. T2 - 3.

For a long time, 9-12% Cr ferritic-martensitic stainless steels have been widely used in power plants due to their favorable characteristics such as high creep strength at high temperatures and oxidation and corrosion resistance. The components of power plants are subjected to long term cyclic loadings including fatigue and creep-fatigue at high temperatures. As ferritic-martensitic steels are known to exhibit cyclic softening when subjected to such loading scenarios, it is crucial to study the material response in such conditions. Since it is impossible to test the material behavior exactly as the operation conditions of power plants, due to technical difficulties and cost issues, it is necessary to develop physically-based material models that can predict the material behavior in more realistic situations. In recent years, many material models have been proposed to describe the behavior of 9-12% Cr ferritic-martensitic stainless steels, which follow phenomenological or physically-based approaches. Phenomenological models provide a stress-strain relation based on empirical observations although they usually lack physical background. To alleviate this drawback and to allow for more flexibility and wider ranges of strain-rate and temperature, physically-based models are suggested. In this approach, microstructural evolution, dislocation movement and/or kinetics of plastic deformation processes are included. The physically-based models allow for a better extrapolation from the experiment results to other operation conditions and their material constants can be interpreted physically. Compared to the former approach, the material behavior can be described more accurately and flexibly and the number of material constants is less in general. In the presented work, the existing micromechanical models developed for P92 steel are compared and extended to allow for new dislocation-based strengthening/cyclic mechanisms. Their performance is assessed in the light of mechanical test data from creep-fatigue and thermo-mechanical fatigue experiments and detailed characterizations of the microstructure evolution in the fatigued material.

T1 - A numerical approach to model high-temperature creep behaviour of Ni-base superalloys from microstructural morphology to grain size scales N2 - A constitutive model for the mechanical behaviour of single crystal Ni-base superalloys under high temperature conditions has been developed in the framework of a Cooretec project in cooperation with Siemens AG, MTU Aero Engines AG and University Bayreuth. In addition to the conventional material properties e.g. elastic constants, the model requires the parameters of the initial microstructure as an input. Thus, the γ’-precipitate size and the channel width of the γ-matrix were obtained from SEM micrographs. The model uses the slip system theory and describes the movement, multiplication and annihilation of dislocations in the channels. Furthermore, the cutting of precipitates is another mechanism contributing to the plastic flow. The evolution of the morphology due to rafting and its effects on the deformation have been implemented according to. The kinematic hardening is introduced as a stress tensor to realistically represent the strain hardening of arbitrary oriented single crystals. The mechanical behaviour of single crystal specimens has been experimentally investigated in tension tests at different strain rates and in creep tests under various loads. The constitutive model has been calibrated based on the experimental data for temperatures of 950°C and 850°C and the [001] and [111] crystallographic orientations. Finally, a micromechanical model was created to simulate the creep response of additive manufactured polycrystalline structures. An EBSD image is taken to obtain the grain geometry and their respective orientation. The grain boundaries are discretised using cohesive elements, whereas the single crystal model was applied to each grain in the representative volume. The polycrystal model is generated using Dream3D, NetGen and other software previously developed at the BAM.
