In contrast to conventional alloys, HEA are single-phase alloys with at least five alloying elements. HEAs have enormous application potential due to (postulated) excellent structural property combinations from low to high temperatures. For HEA-application as structural materials in real components, a key issue is the suitability for joining processing. Requirements for the reliable and safe joining of these materials are crucial regarding economical component manufacture for future applications. In this context, friction stir welding (FSW) is a promising joining process due to the welding process temperature below the material melting point avoiding major issues, e. g. formation of (hard and brittle) intermetallic phases, which may have detrimental influences on the weld joint properties. This study presents elementary research about the FSW process influences on a CoCrFeMnNi-HEA with focus on the microstructure and mechanical properties. For that purpose, the FSW joint of the HEA is compared to that of an austenitic stainless steel AISI 304. The microstructures of the welds were investigated and characterized by means of light microscopy, SEM, EBSD and XRD. Hardness and tensile testing were applied to determine influences on the mechanical properties. Generally, a comparable weldability of HEA and AISI 304 in terms of metallurgical characteristics and resulting mechanical properties exhibited. For the weld joints of both materials typical characteristics regarding FSW were observed within the weld metal and thermo-mechanically influenced zone: fine-grained stirred zone with increased hardness and reduced fracture elongation compared with the respective base material.

T1 - Modifikation von CoCr Legierungen für die additive lichtbogenbasierte Fertigung N2 - Für Komponenten im Turbinen- oder Anlagenbau werden aufgrund ihrer Eigenschaften häufig Kobalt-Chrom-Legierungen verwendet. Diese weisen eine hohe Korrosionsbeständigkeit und hohen Verschleißwiederstand auf. Aufgrund der komplexen Strukturen und dem Bestreben nach Ressourceneffizienz wird zur Herstellung der Komponenten die additive Fertigung verwendet. Hierbei sind hinsichtlich der Inhomogenität und Anisotropie der Gefüge und deren Eigenschaften weitere Kenntnisse notwendig. Bei den vorliegenden Belastungen liegt ein erhöhter Anspruch an die Oberflächenintegrität vor, welcher durch komplementären Einsatz von additiven und abtragenden Fertigungsschritten sichergestellt wird. Dabei sind gerade Co-Cr-Legierungen wegen der niedrigen Wärmeleitfähigkeit verbunden mit hoher Festigkeit und Zähigkeit äußerst herausfordernd mit Blick auf eine wirtschaftliche Zerspanung mit geometrisch bestimmter Schneide. Ausgehend von dieser Problemstellung erfolgt im Zuge eines Gemeinschaftsvorhabens des ISAF in Kooperation mit der BAM eine gezielte Beeinflussung des Gefüges. Ziel des Projektes ist die Zusammenhänge zwischen verschiedenen Legierungsmodifikationen, der entstehenden Gefügemorphologie und den Zerspanungseigenschaften von Co- Cr-Legierungen für die additive Fertigung mittels PTA darzustellen. Der Fokus liegt auf dem Beheben der bestehenden Nachteile bei gleichzeitigem Aufrechthalten der besonderen Eigenschaften der Legierung. Durch das Hinzulegieren von variierenden Gehalten von Zirkonium und Hafnium wird die Gefügeveränderung eingestellt. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass Hafnium als zusätzliches Legierungselement einen deutlichen Einfluss auf die Gefügemorphologie hat. Darüber hinaus wird die Auswirkung der Legierungsmodifikation auf die Härte und die Zerspanbarkeit dargestellt. T2 - 42. Assistentenseminar der Wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft Fügetechnik e.V.

Significantly improved properties or combinations of properties are shown by some HEA/MEA-systems. Thus, primarily the production and resulting microstructures of HEA as well as properties have been investigated so far. Furthermore, processing is a main issue to transfer HEA systems from the laboratory to real components. Since welding is the most important joining process for metals, it is crucial to investigate the influence of welding to guarantee component integrity. Welding leads to residual stresses, which significantly affect the component integrity. Hence, the focus of this study is the residual stress formation and distribution in a CoCrFeMnNi HEA and ternary CoCrNi MEA using two different welding processes: Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding and soldi-state Friction Stir Welding (FSW). As a pathway for application of HEA in this investigation for the first-time residual stress analyses in realistic near-component specimens were performed. The residual stresses were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) on the surfaces of top and root weld side. The results were correlated with the local welding microstructures. The results show that both FSW and TIG generate significant tensile residual stresses on the weld surfaces in and transverse to the welding direction. In the case of FSW of the CoCrFeMnNi HEA, the longitudinal residual stresses are in the range of the yield strength of approx. 300 MPa in the weld zone.

MPEA/HEA represent a new class of materials consisting of at least three alloying elements, each containing 5 to 35 at.-%. This alloying concept thus differs fundamentally from conventional materials such as steel or nickel alloys. For this purpose, the alloying elements are specifically selected, and the microstructures are adjusted in a single-phase and, in some cases, multi-phase manner. In particular, conflicting goals, such as the trade-off between strength and ductility in conventional steels, are overcome. In the last 20 years, however, the focus has been on material synthesis. With the increase in available material quantities, the focus is now on pro-cessing issues such as joining and welding processes. The weldability of MPEA has received very little atten-tion so far. Experience with dissimilar metal welds (DMWs) is completely lacking but is essential for the appli-cation of these materials in combination with conventional materials. The present study presents, comprehen-sive experimental results on the weldability of MPEA-DMWs. For that purpose, a Co20Cr20Fe20Mn20Ni20 HEA in cold-rolled and heat-treated condition was joined by means of tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) with the austenitic Cr-Ni steel AISI 304. The DMWs resulted in interesting mechanical properties. They were obtained by instrumented tensile tests as well as the local deformation in the weld area by using digital image correlation (DIC) technique. A significant softening in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of the MPEAs as well as a slightly reduced tensile strength with a significant decrease of the elongation at fracture were found. The experiments provided proof in principle of the weldability of the MPEAs for DMWs with conventional materials that ensure a corresponding capability for mechanical loading. This allows further considerations on the application of these innovative materials.

MEA aus drei oder vier Legierungselementen im äquiatomaren Gleichgewicht. Um diese als reale Bauteile in die Anwendung zu überführen, muss die Verarbeitbarkeit ausführlich erforscht werden. In dieser Präsentation werden dafür erste Ergebnisse der schweißtechnischen Verarbeitung mittels WIG-Schweißen dargestellt. Dazu wurden zunächst die Schweißparameter mit einer Referenzlegierung (Ni-Basislegierung: 2.4858) bestimmt und auf eine CoCrFeMnNi-HEA sowie eine CoCrNi-MEA übertragen.

Further applications are vessels wall materials for cryogenic or high-pressure hydrogen storage. So far, the susceptibility of HEA/MEAs to hydrogen assisted cracking (if any) and the hydrogen diffusion is not investigated in detail yet and can limit or extend possible applications of HEA/MEA as structural materials. In our work, we focused on the hydrogen absorption, diffusion, and distribution in a HEA (Co20Cr20Fe20Mn20Ni20, the original Cantor-alloy) and a MEA (Co33.3Cr33.3Ni33.3). Conventional cathodic hydrogen charging was carried out for the hydrogen ingress in the materials. Thermal desorption analysis (TDA) via carrier gas hot extraction with coupled mass spectrometry revealed complex hydrogen trapping in both alloy types up to 300 °C. The absorbed total hydrogen concentrations were ≥ 70 ppm for the HEA and approximately 40 ppm for the MEA-type. Although both materials have different chemical composition, the TDA spectra were comparable. In addition, it was shown that the consideration of the sample geometry is an important influence on the sample temperature. It decreases the effective applied heating rate, which must be anticipated for each hydrogen peak after deconvolution of the spectra. This increases the activation energy and shifts the peak to lower temperatures. As a result, microstructure effects can be separated from experimental boundary conditions like the concentration gradient due to the charging process and later thermal activation.

T1 - Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) mit hochfesten Feinkornbaustählen N2 - Die additive Verarbeitung hochfester Feinkornbaustähle mittels Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) ist ein komplexes, aber zugleich auch effizientes Verfahren, bei dem Werkstoff, Bauteilgeometrie und Schweißprozess gezielt aufeinander abgestimmt sein müssen. Ziel dieser Studie war es, einen Zusammenhang zwischen den Prozessparametern und der generierten Schichtgeometrie zu ermitteln. Dazu wurden definierte Referenzkörper mit einem robotergestützten Schweißsystem additiv gefertigt und hinsichtlich Schichthöhe, Wandstärke und Mikrostruktur analysiert. Fokus der Untersuchung waren sowohl konventionelle als auch für die WAAM-Fertigung speziell entwickelte hochfeste Schweißzusatzwerkstoffe. Die geometrischen Eigenschaften additiv gefertigter Bauteile lassen sich insbesondere durch die Faktoren Drahtvorschubgeschwindigkeit und Schweißgeschwindigkeit gezielt einstellen. Jedoch können diese Parameter nicht beliebig variiert werden, auch aufgrund der rheologischen Eigenschaften der Zusatzwerkstoffe. Zu hohe Streckenenergien führen zu lokalen Überhitzungen und Fehlstellen in der generierten Schicht. Undefinierte Fließ- und Erstarrungsvorgänge im überhitzten Bereich erschweren die maßhaltige Fertigung. Deshalb wird bei speziellen WAAM-Schweißdrähten das Fließverhalten gezielt modifiziert, sodass es über einen größeren Temperaturbereich hinweg konstant ist. Erst die Kenntnis über die komplexen Zusammenhänge zwischen den Prozessparametern und der Bauteilgeometrie ermöglicht die Erzeugung exakter Schichtmodelle für die additive Fertigung. Dies bildet die Grundlage für die Bearbeitung weiterer Fragestellungen auf dem Gebiet der additiven Fertigung mit hochfesten Zusatzwerkstoffen und insbesondere deren Anwendung in modernen hochfesten Bauteilen.

The MPEAs encompass the so-called high-entropy (HEA) and medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) and are fundamentally different from conventional materials like the Fe-based steel. Within the last 20 years, highly innovative MPEA with individually adjustable properties for industrial applications were identified. However, the focus has been on pure material synthesis. With the increase in available material quantities, the focus is now on processing issues such as joining and welding. In that connection, the weldability of MPEAs has received very little attention so far and experience in dissimilar metal welds (DMWs) is lacking so far but. The present study summarizes comprehensive experimental results on the weldability of MPEA-DMWs and their resulting microstructure. For this purpose, two equiatomic MPEAs, CoCrFeMnNi (HEA) and CoCrNi (MEA) in cold-rolled and annealed conditions were joined by solid-state friction stir welding (FSW) to an austenitic stainless steel 316L. The DMWs showed very interesting microstructure features. In addition, the mechanical-technological properties were obtained by instrumented tensile tests, and the local straining was determined in-situ by digital image correlation (DIC). A significant influence of the FSW processing on the mechanical performance was identified,in terms of the formation of FSW-specific defects like whitebands or tunnel defects. The experiments proofed the general (but currently limited) FS weldability of the MPEAs to conventional austenitic steel grade AISI 304. This enables targeted further considerations of these highly innovative MPEAs.
