Effects of weld edge preparation on the weld appearance and quality were considered. The obtained welded joints were subjected to radiographic tests for detection of internal imperfections. Metallurgical characterisation of the samples regarding the resulting phase composition and hardness was conducted. Tensile and potentiodynamic tests were performed to evaluate the mechanical and corrosion properties. The results provide an insight into the advantages and limitations of the laser welding process for joining high-manganese alloyed stainless steels. Conditions for the production of defect-free and corrosion-resistant welds having good mechanical properties could be determined.

T1 - Measurement and modeling of scatter ratios at high energies N2 - Determining scatter ratios at high energies (> ~ 1MeV) presents challenges not immediately obvious from measurements at conventional X-ray energies. This includes reduced attenuation even in heavy elements as well as a stronger forward bias of scattering. In order to check the reliability of different measurement setups with regard to material thicknesses, distances, and collimation, attenuation and scattering were separately simulated using a Monte Carlo model. The simulation results help in understanding the sources of radiation scattered into the detection area, thereby aiding in eliminating undesired contributions.

T1 - Trends in investigating hydrogen cracking and diffusion in steel welds N2 - The present contribution highlights recent trends in investigating hydrogen diffusion and cracking in steel welds. For such studies, supermartensitic stainless steels (SMSS) have exemplarily been selected. These materials have been used for offshore and marine constructions for about two decades now. They present a versatility of improved properties such as high strength to thickness ratio, good weldability and good corrosion resistance. However, as shown by respective failure cases, SMSS welds might become prone to hydrogen assisted cracking and the degradation phenomena are more easily to investigate due to the nearly homogeneous martensitic microstructure than in other materials. Generally, it has to be distinguished between cracking that occurs during or shortly after fabrication welding, or during subsequent operation of SMSS components. In order to achieve crack avoidance during fabrication and service, conclusive test sequences have to be applied, ranging from field tests at real components and full scale tests investigating the materials behavior under real service conditions to basic and small scale tests, such as tensile and corrosion tests, oriented more towards a materials ranking. Considerable testing of SMSS welds has been carried out and the present paper particularly summarizes spotlights on 1:1 scale component testing of welded tubulars, slow strain rate testing and basic tests oriented to elucidate the hydrogen behavior and degradation in SMSS weld microstructures. Also, permeation tests, hydrogen dependent degradation of mechanical properties and thermal desorption spectroscopy are adressed. As a specific item, first results of lately conducted investigations for tracking hydrogen movement in such weld microstructures by using high energy synchrotron radiation are elucidated.

T1 - Spectral and spatial nondestructive examination of dielectric materials with THz time domain spectroscopy N2 - A time domain spectrometer T-ray 2000® operating in the range of 0.2-2 THz was used for Time of Flight measurements. A series of ethanol water mixtures from 10% to 90% were produced subsequently filled in polystyrene cells and analyzed in the T-ray 2000 TDS system in the reflection mode. The reflectivity of the material liquid interface is strongly influenced by the ethanol concentration in water. The reciprocal reflection coefficient of the material liquid interface was found to be a useful discriminating feature for further Probably of Detection calculations which can be used for the performance evaluation of potential THz bottle scanners. THz pulse echo (PE) measurements were performed in comparison to the established ultra sound PE technique for flaw detection of plastics. Synthetic aperture reconstructions were applied for simulated data to reconstruct the flaw shape. The results were compared with B-scan images of a high density polyethylene (HDPE) test cylinder. Existing restrictions on the quality of the back projected images and limits of the existing model are discussed in detail.

For the fabrication of transducers with a stable quality, the reproducibility of their key parameters is of interest. The reproducibility was evaluated by means of (i) impedance spectroscopy and (ii) pulse-echo measurements. (i) Impedance spectroscopy was applied to identify the resonance frequency, the coupling factor and the acoustic impedance of several nominally identical transducers. (ii) Pulse-echo measurements yielded the signal form of these transducers. The variation of the signal amplitude measured with pulseecho technique was about 10 dB. A part of this variation Comes from the deposition of transducer electrodes and another part from local variations of ferroelectret properties. The variation of the signal amplitude was caused by the observed variation of the coupling factor, which was also about 10 dB. The variation of the acoustic impedance was only about 1 dB, thus having no effect on the variation of the signal amplitude. These results indicate that the variability can be reduced by improving the control of electrode deposition and by optimizing the production technology affecting the reproducibility of material properties.

The failure of those plies generally reduces the load carrying capability of the laminate, even though they carry only a small part of the external load. The analysis of failure under off-axis stresses accordingly is essential for the prediction of the strength of laminates. This is taken into account in the "mechanisms based failure criteria" e.g. by Puck. Most of these inter fiber failure criteria are not based on the micromechanics of the failure process but on prescribed stress interaction functions. The failure of plies under transverse loading obviously is governed by the bond strength between fiber and matrix fiber. The interfacial debonding was studied e.g. by Paris et al. and Corea et al.. The bond strength between fiber and matrix usually is measured by using micromechanical tests e.g. pull-out, push-out or fragmentation tests. Stress analyses as well as fracture mechanical analyses show that the interfacial failure over a large range is dominated by shear stresses (Kim and Mai, Pisanova et al, Marotzke and Qiao). The stress distribution arising in those experiments however differs from the stresses acting in a lamina under transverse loading. In transverse failure of a lamina, radial stresses as well as shear stresses are dominating the failure process of the interface. In addition longitudinal shear stresses are present. Experimental work concerning off-axis loading of single fibers was done e.g. by Tandon and Kim and by Ogihara and Koyanagi. They studied the influence of the fiber alignment by using a specimen in form of a cruciform with skew wings.

With the gathered theoretical background and the familiarity with practical requirements of industrial application the simulation software aRTist has been developed. This analytical simulator includes a description of the radiation source, the interaction of radiation with test pieces and flaws, and the detection process with special focus on film and digital industrial radiology. It features high processing speed with nearinteractive frame rates and a high level of realism. Here we focus on the recent developments of the simulator, notably the release of aRTist version 2. Extended functionality regarding automated virtual computed tomography now allows for arbitrary scan paths.

So far, the sole external source for P, that is indispensable for all animate beings, is rock phosphate, a finite resource. The EU depends completely on the import from possible politically instable regions. Furthermore, rock phosphate is often contaminated with heavy metals like Cd and U, leading to health and environmental hazards. P recovered from SSA might diminish these problems. SSA of German mono incineration facilities are analyzed for their elemental composition. More than 95% of the emerging SSA is monitored, enabling the determination of complete mass flows of the ashes and their components. Initial results indicate a P recovery potential of 16,000 t/a (11% of the annual P demands for fertilizer production). The concentrations of Cd and U in SSA are one to two Orders of magnitude lower than in rock phosphate and could help to reduce possible hazards.

T1 - Vom E-Modul bis zum TMF-Versuch - Praktische Herausforderungen der Werkstoffprüfung N2 - Durch Normen werden die für die Kennwertbestimmung erforderlichen Versuchsbedingungen (z. B. Belastungsgeschwindigkeit, Klasse der Prüfmittel) und auch die Datenauswertung eindeutig festgelegt. Sie sind die Grundlage für eine belastbare Kennwertermittlung und dürfen bei normkonformen Versuchen nicht ignoriert werden. Weiterführende Betrachtungen (Plausibilität, cross-check) finden sich dagegen in Normen sehr selten. Hier eröffnet sich nun dem Werkstoffprüfer ein weites Feld. Zum einen können die Versuchsabläufe unter Berücksichtigung des im Labor vorhandenen Inventars optimiert, zum anderen können durch erweiterte Auswertung der Messdaten Hinweise auf eine fehlerhafte Versuchsführung gefunden werden. Werden dagegen von der Norm abweichende oder nicht genormte Versuche durchgeführt, sind der Kreativität des Werkstoffprüfers kaum Grenzen gesetzt. Dieses wird durch die schnell fortschreitende Entwicklung auf dem Gebiet der Mess- und Prüftechnik unterstützt. An Beispielen aus meiner 36-jährigen BAM-Tätigkeit im Bereich der Werkstoffprüfung werden Prüfmittel und Lösungswege zu unterschiedlichen Aufgabenstellungen vorgestellt. Die gewählten Beispiele stehen auch für die Werkstoffprüfung im Wandel der Zeit und belegen die gewachsenen Anforderungen an den Werkstoffprüfer N2 - Standards clearly define the test conditions (e.g. loading rate, class of test equipment) and data analysis for the determination of the test results. They are the basis for a reliable determination of parameters and must not be ignored in standard-compliant tests. However, additional considerations (plausibility, cross-check) are very rarely addressed in standards. This opens a wide field for the material tester. On the one hand the experimental procedures can be optimized taking into account the existing inventory in the laboratory; on the other hand a faulty experimental procedure can be identified by advanced analysis of the measured data. If non-standard-tests are performed there are hardly any creative limits for the material tester. This is supported by the rapid increase of development in the field of measuring and testing technique. Using examples from my 36-year BAM activity in the field of material testing, equipment and solutions are presented for different tasks. The examples also show material testing in the course of time and confirm the growing demands on the material tester.

In den Anlagen wird durch Zersetzung von organischem Material entzündbares Biogas gewonnen, das in seiner Zusammensetzung stark schwankt. Hauptbestandteile von Biogas sind Methan und Kohlendioxid aber auch je nach Prozessstufe Wasserdampf, Stickstoff, Sauerstoff und Verunreinigungen, die teilweise toxisch sein können. Zudem beginnt man in größeren Anlagen Biogas zu Biomethan aufzuarbeiten, um dann direkt ins Erdgasnetz einspeisen zu können. In der Entwicklung befinden sich zurzeit auch gekoppelte Biogas- und Elektrolyseanlagen. Mit Hilfe der Elektrolyse von Wasser können Überschüsse an elektrischer Energie aus Wind- und Solaranlagen zu Wasserstoff verarbeitet werden (Power-to-Gas-Technologie). Um zuverlässige Daten für den Explosionsschutz beim Umgang mit den in den Anlagen vorhandenen Gasgemischen zur Verfügung zu stellen, hat die BAM in den letzten Jahren Explosionsbereiche von Gemischen aus Methan, Wasserstoff, Kohlendioxid, Wasserdampf, Luft und Sauerstoff in Anlehnung an die Norm EN 839 gemessen und als Eckdaten zur Verfügung gestellt. Mit Hilfe dieser Daten lässt sich die Explosionsfähigkeit der Gasgemische in Biogasanlagen zuverlässig abschätzen. Auf dieser Grundlage können entsprechende Explosionsschutzmaßnahmen vorgenommen werden. T2 - 13.

Die Gefahr eines Ausbrands ist grundsätzlich vorhanden, jedoch relativ gering, wenn neben der richtigen Konstruktion geeignete metallische und nichtmetallische Materialien für die vorgesehenen Betriebsbedingungen gewählt werden. Aus sicherheitstechnischer Sicht sollten Sauerstoffarmaturen und -anlagenteile, die komplett aus metallischen Materialien gefertigt und abgedichtet werden, ein noch geringeres Risiko eines Ausbrands aufweisen. Bei einer Versuchsreihe auf dem BAM-TTS-Freiversuchsgelände brannte unerwartet ein rein metallisches Anlagenteil komplett ab. Bei dieser Versuchsanordnung platzt eine metallische Berstscheibe bei einem bestimmten Sauerstoffdruck auf. Die anschließenden Untersuchungen konzentrierten sich auf die Frage, wie es bei diesem Versuch zu einem Ausbrand des massiven Anlagenteils kommen konnte. Im Vortrag werden die Ergebnisse der Untersuchungen diskutiert und die Sauerstoffverträglichkeit der verwendeten Metalle auf Grundlage des Abbrandverhaltens nach ASTM G 124-95 verglichen.

Because of the material properties of composites, defects often occur inside the structures and raise the demand for integrated sensors. The advantages of optical fibres predestine them not only for the surface-application on composite structures but also for the Integration into composite structures. Even without quasi-distributed sensors such as FBGs or LPGs, the optical fibre itself can be used to measure the structure and occurring events over the entire fibre length by distributed sensing techniques.

It requires a certification of the geosynthetics by the BAM. The certification-guidelines define the state of the art by giving detailed requirements and specifications i the various geosynthetic products used in landfill constructions. According to the German Landfill Ordinance geosynthetic products have to fulfil their function for more than 100 years. Beyond, supported by an advisory board of landfill experts, BAM has developed installation requirements and demands on quality management for production, installation and third party control. The BAM is responsible to define tests and testing criteria for geosynthetics, to include provisions into the certification document and in addition to stipulate requirements with regard to installation procedure and quality management in Germany. All documents of the BAM such as certification guidelines, recommendations and testing specifications which are approved by the advisory board are published in German language on the website and in the Official Gazette*** of the BAM. For the certification one of the basic requirements is that the geosynthetic product is produced with well defined and well reproducible properties. Thus, a sophisticated quality management System is needed. In addition, not only production control, but also a quality assurance for the installation is necessary.

The fire resistance of these columns is probably more compromised than in circular columns due to the phenomenon of concrete detachment in the corners of the cross-section. In order to examine the influence of several parameters on the behaviour in fire of circular reinforced concrete columns with restrained thermal elongation, several fire resistance tests were carried out. The parameters tested were load, restraint level, slenderness of the column and the longitudinal reinforcement ratio. In the fire resistance tests the specimens were exposed to the ISO 834 Standard fire curve and the critical time and temperature and failure modes were determined. The test results mainly indicated that the spalling phenomenon may also occur in circular columns and so reducing its fire resistance. The restrained level might not so much relevant concerning the fire resistance of circular reinforced concrete columns.

Furthermore in these project were researched some failure mechanism of pressure relief devices (PRD). Based on the knowledge gained, possible solutions were worked out under safety-relevant aspects that would benefit tank transport by providing a lower hazard potential. Besides looking at the mode of operation and the construction of PRV, their blow-off characteristics and total flow rate are considered from a safety engineering point of view. Based on in-depth studies, a concept for and the further approach to examinations of the failure limits of PRD, especially of spring loaded relief valves, was developed and comprehensively described in the report “The use of safety devices, particularly safety valves, on transport containers” (Pötzsch, Reich, & Jochems, 2011). The purpose of this study was to investigate failure causes of safety valves by normal modes and accidental fire heat loads. A series of investigations for different influences using safety valves for tanks were obtained. Testing vibration modes and corrosion presents some design limits. Experimental study of a pressure vessel engulfing in fire identify significant design limits. The complete set of results provides direct information of fail-safe modes and discusses the usage.

To support an evacuation planning, this study simulates the fire smoke toxicity and the smoke layer of a vehicle fire in a full-size test tunnel. The three dimensional prediction of the fire smoke toxicity in the test tunnel is realized by implementing the Fractional Effective Dose and the Fractional Summation concept in a CFD environment. The developed model facilitates to calculate fire scenarios for various types of tunnels and to quantify the hazard e.g. during an evacuation scenario.
