Prozessbegleitende Prüfung umfasst sowohl die Bewertung von Ausgangs- und Zwischenprodukten (Pulver, Suspensionen, Grünkörper) als auch die in-situ Überwachung kritischer Fertigungsstufen (Aufbereitung, Formgebung, Entbinderung, Sinterung). Der Arbeitskreis „Prozessbegleitende Prüfverfahren“ im DKG/DGM-Gemeinschaftsausschuss „Hochleistungskeramik“ bietet eine Plattform zum Informationsaustausch über neue Messverfahren und zur Initiierung von Ringversuchen und Referenzmaterialentwicklung. Als aktuelle Beispiele werden zwei applikationsnahe Verfahren zur in-situ Charakterisierung von Geometrieveränderungen (Schwindung, Verformung) an großformatigen keramischen Schichtverbunden vorgestellt. Die Hochtemperatur-3D-Laserprofilometrie ermöglicht die Visualisierung und Quantifizierung der lokalen Verformung keramischer Multilayer während der drucklosen Sinterung. Beobachtet wurden an LTCC-Multilayern starke Verformungen bereits während der Entbinderung und in der Abkühlphase. Das Wissen um zwischenzeitliche Verformungen erweitert das Verständnis über die Ursachen von Defekten in Multilayer-Bauteilen. Die in-situ Messung der Dickenschwindung an realen, großformatigen LTCC-Bauteilen während der druckunterstützten Sinterung wurde erstmals durch die Entwicklung eines LTCC-kompatiblen Drucksinteraggregat mit integriertem Dilatometer ermöglicht. Zusätzlich wurde das Drucksinteraggregat mit einer prozessbegleitende Mess- und Regelungseinrichtung für den Sauerstoffpartialdruck ausgestattet. Durch ein optimiertes Sauerstoffpartialdruckregime konnte an LTCC-Modulen eine qualitätsgefährdende Silberdiffusion aus den Leiterbahnen in das umgebende keramische Dielektrikum drastisch reduziert werden. Das mit einem industriellen Partner entwickelte Drucksinteraggregat eröffnet unikale Möglichkeiten zur Optimierung von Aufheizgeschwindigkeit, Druck und Sinteratmosphäre in allen Phasen des Sinterprozesses.

In terms of laser intensity, the irradiance and even more importantly the fluence are the critical parameters [1]. Since most lasers emit pulses of a constant pulse duration dictated by the design of the resonator and Q-switch, these two parameters are usually used interchangeably in studies. However, with the emergence of fiber laser based light sources [2], which are capable not just to freely tune the pulse duration, but to generate variable and high pulse repetition rates, up to the MHz range, a new and interesting optimization aspect is given to the laser spectroscopy community. In our study a low alloy steel standard sample (BAS 403/1) was investigated using a variable pulse duration and pulse repetition rate MOPA laser with 80W power of  = 1064 nm emission (JPT M7, VONJAN Technology GmbH, Wessling, Germany). In our experiments the laser was set to pulses with low individual energy (0.4 mJ) at 200 kHz pulse repetition rate, while the pulse duration was varied between 50 and 500 ns. The plasma emission was recorded by an LTB Demon spectrometer in several spectral regions, which included iron, chromium and manganese lines. Utilizing the variable pulse duration of this laser source, it was possible to assess the effects of changing the fluence, while the irradiance was kept at the same value. Among the investigated parameters are the emission intensity, peak width and self-absorption characteristics of major and minor components, as well as the plasma temperature. While the effects for the peak intensity are quite well correlated with the fluence, its interplay with other peak parameters appear to be more complicated.

Especially the deformation behavior of concrete pavement slabs in the joint region in consideration of new pavement construction types and improved concrete mixtures meanwhile established but also under the steeply rising traffic loads is not sufficiently explored. To create a data basis for advanced design rules, evaluation methods and product standards - and with it to improve quality, durability and finally sustainability of pavements - an innovative 3-D sensor system SENSO JOINT adapted to german roadworking requirements and suitable for heavy-duty operating conditions was developed. The contribution introduced describes the development of an extensive technical solution based on the analysis of decisive loads, interactions and boundary conditions. Based on calibration data, results of laboratory testing and finally field-testing on different concrete pavement construction types the outcome of a multi-level evaluation process shall introduce the potential of the new sensor system.

In this work we present our approach by combining robotic automation with laser thermography, as a versatile and efficient solution for inspecting intricate geometries under demanding industrial conditions. Central to this approach is the integration of a fiber-coupled laser as a flexible heat source, a high-performance thermal imaging system, an industrial robot, additional visible camera systems, different IR emitters and intelligent signal processing algorithms. This allows, after an initial fully-automated mapping of the part geometry and position that the object under test is thermographically tested for surface or bulk defects. Interferences caused by unideal surface conditions can be corrected for using simultaneously obtained optical images. Finally, all test results can be mapped onto a digital representation of the object leading to a fully digital and machine-readable documentation that can be used for quality assurance. This combination therefore enables accurate defect detection and characterization, overcoming traditional limitations associated with material variability and surface inhomogeneities. The system's adaptability allows for tailored solutions that address real-world challenges, ensuring reliable and repeatable results across diverse applications. The proposed methodology emphasizes the synergy between robotics, active thermography, and advanced data analysis to achieve high levels of precision and automation. This work highlights the potential of these technologies to optimize quality assurance processes and contribute to innovation in various industrial sectors.

Especially industries with high relevance for the future like transport and energy benefit from optimized designs and novel materials. However, a reliable in-situ quality assurance for metal AM is still missing while process optimization is slow. This directly hinders the huge potential of metal AM technologies. A promising method to counteract this issue is the investigation of the emitted thermal radiation. It is optimal for monitoring and understanding the thermal history of the high-temperature AM process. The thermal history holds virtually all information about the properties and the quality of the manufactured components. The thermal information is also highly valuable for tuning and validating numerical simulations to gather further insights into the process. Despite this importance, the usage of thermal radiation in commercial AM machines is only marginal (like simple pyrometry or long-time exposure for optical tomography (OT) at a single wavelength). Based on this deficit and potential, this work gives an overview of the research in division “8.3 Thermographic Methods” at the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) in Berlin, Germany. Different wavelengths of the thermal radiation are investigated: the visible range (VIS), the short-wave infrared (SWIR), and the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) with their respective optimal field of application. Focus lies on laser powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M), but directed energy deposition with laser beam (DED-LB/M) is investigated as well. The presented research is performed not only on commercial AM machines, but also on an in-house developed PBF-LB/M research system specifically designed for sensor testing. This ensures an exciting mélange of applied research for industrial applications, and fundamental research for process understanding and validation. Therefore, a crucial contribution to industrial and scientific insights of metal AM is given.

Die dabei lokal im Prozess auftretenden Temperaturverteilungen beeinflussen maßgeblich die Bauteileigenschaften sowie die Entstehung von Defekten wie bspw. Risse und Poren. Eine quantitative Bestimmung der Realtemperaturen ist daher essenziell für Prozessvalidierung und -vergleich sowie die Qualitätssicherung und das Verständnis der zugrunde liegenden physikalischen Vorgänge. Bisherige thermografische Monitoring-Ansätze liefern jedoch meist nur qualitative Informationen. Hintergrund sind die Herausforderungen gegeben durch den Prozess: kleine Schmelzbäder (< 300 µm), hohe Temperaturen (> 2500 K) und hohe Scangeschwindigkeiten (ca. 1 m/s). Zusammen mit den dynamischen Änderungen des Emissionsgrads u.a. durch Phasenübergänge ergeben sich äußerst schwierige Bedingungen für thermografische Messungen. Um dieser Herausforderung zu begegnen, verfolgen wir einen neuartigen Ansatz zur hyperspektralen Thermografie, der eine simultane Messung der emittierten Strahlung im kurzwelligen Infrarotbereich (1 bis 1,6 µm) entlang einer Linie bei ca. 20 kHz ermöglicht. Durch die Bewegung des Schmelzbades senkrecht durch die Messlinie kann ein typisches Schmelzbad rekonstruiert werden. Die Temperatur-Emissionsgrad-Separation (TES) erlaubt dabei die Bestimmung von Realtemperaturen und Emissionsgraden basierend auf parametrisierten spektralen Emissionsgradfunktionen sowie radiometrischen Kalibrationen. Die Umsetzung erfolgt an der Forschungsmaschine der BAM „SAMMIE“, die speziell für thermografische Messungen am PBF LB/M-Prozess konzipiert wurde. Die Ergebnisse zeigen das Potenzial der hyperspektralen Thermografie zur Erfassung von Realtemperaturen im Prozess. Dies stellt einen wichtigen Schritt zur verbesserten Vergleichbarkeit und Wiederholbarkeit der Fertigung sowie zur Validierung komplexer Simulationen dar. Damit trägt der neuartige Ansatz langfristig zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit und des Verständnisses additiver Fertigungsprozesse bei.

In the standards the ignition source is stated, but they vary in stating other characteristics like burning duration, energy or burning volume. Since heat is not visible under normal circumstances a Schlieren-Technique was used to make the full heating volume and not just the flames visible. While an earlier paper of the authors focused on the ignition energy and burning duration of four standardized ignition sources, this paper focuses on the initial igniting volume, the ratio between initial igniting volume and the test-vessel size and other phenomena that were observed with the Schlieren-Technique.

However, inherent process-related defects in additively manufactured material, along with the interface created between the additively manufactured and the cast base material, impact the fatigue crack growth behavior in bi-material components. This study investigates the fatigue crack growth behavior in bi-material specimens of nickel-based alloys, specifically, additively manufactured STAL15 and cast alloy 247DS. The tests were conducted at 950 °C with stress ratios of 0.1 and -1. Metallographic and fractographic investigations were carried out to understand crack growth mechanisms. The results revealed significant retardation in crack growth at the interface. This study highlights the potential contributions of residual stresses and microstructural differences to the observed crack growth retardation phenomenon, along with the conclusion from an earlier study on the effect of yield strength mismatch on crack growth behavior at a perpendicular interface in bi-material specimens.

This involves retarded drying in an environment of high relative humidity as well as spin coating or freeze drying of the sample on the substrate. Depending on the type of the NPs, different techniques are successful in obtaining homogenous sample deposition. Simple drying at ambient conditions often results in heavily agglomerated NPs densely packed in coffee ring traces. Retardation of the drying speed in an environment of high relative humidity, however, yields homogeneous NP deposition in the case of bimodal SiO2 and bimodal gold NP’s. In contrast, a sample of bipyramidal TiO2, heavily agglomerated when commonly dried, is successfully dispersed by spin coating the suspension on the substrate. The analysis of the particle size distribution of the bimodal silica and gold samples yielded number ratios resembling the nominal number ratios. The reliable measurement of the NP concentration of polydisperse samples by electron microscopy, even if relative, is new and of special relevance because up to now only the size of the particles, i.e. the abscissa of the PSD, can be measured reliably.

Their high versatility and recovery potential under several load conditions make them well suitable for the application in containers designed for transport, storage and/or disposal of radioactive materials. In containers for low and intermediate level radioactive waste, elastomer seals are used as barrier seals, and as auxiliary seals in storage and transportation casks (dual purpose casks) for heat generating radioactive waste, such as spent fuel and high-level waste. While a seal exchange at defined intervals is typical in many conventional applications, it is impossible or at least hard to perform when principles of minimization of radiation exposure have to be considered and prohibit an unnecessary cask handling. An extensive knowledge of the change of the elastomer’s properties during aging and the availability of reliable end-of-lifetime criteria to guarantee the permanent safe enclosure of the radioactive material is mandatory. As BAM is involved in most of the national cask licensing procedures and in the evaluation of cask-related long-term safety issues, great efforts have been already made and are still planned to scientifically support this task. Compression stress relaxation and compression set were identified as key indicators of elastomer long-term performance and quantitatively investigated in comprehensive test programs. Among other representative types of elastomers, specimens made from ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) were tested before, during and after aging to capture the most important of their complex mechanical properties. In the presented study, exemplary results were used to simulate the compression stress relaxation and the compression set of elastomer O-rings during aging. Regarding the influence of temperature, the time temperature superposition principle is applied in the relaxation analysis of elastomer O-rings. The proposed model is implemented in the commercial finite element software ABAQUS/Standard® [1] with a sequential temperature displacement coupling. Numerical results match the experimental compression stress relaxation measurements well. The prediction of compression set values after long-term aging shows a relatively good agreement with the experimental results. Nevertheless, all input parameters derived from the specimen tests, additional assumptions concerning boundary conditions and modeling strategy are discussed with regard to the identified slight discrepancies.

Additively manufactured parts require the consideration of the specific process-related microstructure, which prevents this material to be macroscopically treated as isotropic, because of crystallographic as well as topological textures. EBSD/CT-Scans from in-house additively manufactured specimen extract the unique microstructural topology which is converted to a representative volume element (RVE) with grain structure and crystal orientations. Crystal plasticity model parameters on this RVE are calibrated and validated by means of mechanical testing under different texture angles. From virtual experiments on this RVE, yield loci under various loading conditions are simulated. The scale bridging from meso- to macro-scale is realised by the identification of the simulated yield loci as a modified anisotropic Barlat-type yield model representation.

In order to maintain the required leak tightness, spring core metal seals with aluminum or silver cladding are used. As sealing force decreases over time, BAM has been conducting tests for over 15 years to prove their long-term reliability. This work - a joint project of BASE and BAM - aims to obtain additional material data using a new device for continuous measurement of compression force over time and temperature for lifetime prediction models and is supported by FEM simulations.

Moreover, the focus has shifted from fundamental research towards expanding the applicability of graphene-related 2D materials (GR2M) and to improve their competitiveness with established materials [2]. Significant advances have been made especially in applications regarding optoelectronics, energy storage materials, chemical additives, sensor applications etc. [3]. Composite products containing graphene and functionalized graphene such as inks and dyes have shown enhanced performance regarding longevity, wettability, and can be tailored for specific purposes through dedicated functionalization. For accurate physico-chemical characterization, GR2M products in their raw form or as part of composites present challenges in terms of sample preparation, choice of analytical method and evaluation of data. For instance, in the context of imaging, these challenges encompass: (a) the selection of images magnifications being representative for all the flakes ranging in size from hundreds of nanometers to micrometers; (b) the selection of representative flakes for adequate statistics, which may involve the separation of overlapping/agglomerating flakes by segmentation; and (c) the classification of diverse morphologies such as irregularly shaped/crumpled flakes, porous flakes and particulate features present in the sample. The complexity of the analytical task has needed the introduction of specific ontology for 2D materials to identify the proper descriptors characterizing confidently the morphological features of interest. Regarding light scattering techniques such as Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Multi-Angle Light Scattering (MALS) commonly used for process control in industry as a first measure, an alternative approach would be necessary. This is in part due to the use of the standard sphere-model for 2D materials as appearing to be inappropriate, whilst a disc-shape model potentially yields more suitable results. Standardization efforts are underway to establish a baseline for accurate characterization of aimed measurands with sufficient statistics. To date, the measurement methods recommended by standardization bodies for the morphological-structural characterization of GR2M’s are AFM, Raman Spectroscopy and SEM and/or TEM. The acquisition of statistically relevant numbers of flakes for a thorough characterization using TEM and AFM is particularly time-consuming. The size distribution of graphene oxide- and graphene-containing inks was investigated by using a correlative approach coupling Centrifugal Field-Flow Fractionation (CF3) [4] with MALS. Up to now, promising results for Field-Flow Fractionation have been achieved only with respect to the separation into size classes of GO samples as well as of graphene oxide mixed with graphene by Asymmetrical Field-Flow Fractionation (AF4) [5], [6]. Besides the online characterization by MALS, the eluting size fractions obtained by CF3 were also collected and subsequently measured by SEM. Successful separation into size fractions allows us to apply ensemble techniques such as MALS to samples that were previously not measurable according to best-practices. In this study, the following material sub-classes have been observed with SEM: (i) nano-graphite mixed with graphene flakes, (ii) graphene oxide few- and multi-layer flakes with diverse and highly complex morphology, and (iii) graphene oxide of well-defined size and shape with >95% single- and bilayer content were investigated. Data on the class size ranges was obtained by MALS after separation with CF3 and consideration of a disc-shape model. Significant effort was invested into the sample preparation for CF3 measurements to achieve a recovery rate of >80%, well above the recommended 70% by ISO/TS 21362:2018 for validation purposes. The material fractions collected after the CF3 measurement were separately deposited on a silicon wafer and the size results of the SEM analysis were correlated with the corresponding mean sizes obtained with MALS.

The focus is on the AlCoCrFeNiTi alloy [3-5], synthesized by directional solidification, known for its exceptional strength and unique properties. Experimental investigations, including compression, and bending creep tests, were conducted at 750°C. Capitalizing on the inhomogeneous stress and strain distribution within a cantilever subjected to bending, we leverage this characteristic to extract multiple creep curves from a single test. Stresses at key points were determined using existing analytical solutions [5,6]. Uniaxial tests spanning 300 to 500 MPa initial stress were complemented by bending tests designed to induce similar stress levels. A detailed comparison between bending and uniaxial creep is presented, including the results of verification studies on additional alloys. This methodology not only expedites testing but also minimizes material usage, energy consumption, and manual labour. This research showcases a reliable and time-efficient approach to exploring the creep behavior of high-temperature materials. The technique is particularly advantageous for characterizing precious alloys with limited dimensions. Microstructural heterogeneity may exist in specimens tested under bending load, however, it can still be correlated to the mechanical properties with modern high-resolution characterization methods. Stress and resulting strain can be directly compared in a single specimen, ensuring uniform manufacturing, and heating history. This method eliminates the possible errors due to testing with different rigs, which could impair the accuracy of studies based on individual tests.

Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde eine Charakterisierung des Ermüdungsverhaltens von additiv gefertigten TiAl6V4 im Low-Cycle-Fatigue Bereich (niederzyklische Ermüdung) nach Norm ISO 12206 mit Dehnungsamplituden von 0.3 bis zu 1.0 % und bei Raumtemperatur, 250°C und 400°C durchgeführt. Die TiAl6V4 Proben wurden aus zylindrischen Halbzeugen gefertigt, welche durch Laser-Pulver-Auftragsschweißen mit einer optimierten Aufbaustrategie hergestellt wurden. Die optimierte Aufbaustrategie beinhaltet variierende Spurüberlappungsgraden, die die Fertigung der dünnen zylindrischen Körper ohne weitere Ausgleichslagen ermöglicht. Das Werkstoffverhalten wird anhand von Wechselverformungskurven sowie einer Darstellung der Lebensdauer in einem Wöhler-Diagramm beschrieben. Ein Fitting der Lebensdauer-Daten erfolgt anhand der Manson-Coffin-Basquin Beziehung. Eine Eingangscharakterisierung der mikrostrukturellen Merkmale inklusive Bindefehler aus dem Herstellungsprozess wird durch Lichtmikroskopie und hochauflösende Computertomographie (CT) durchgeführt. Der Versagensmechanismus während der Belastung wird anhand von Zwischenuntersuchungen mit CT und einem unterbrochenen Versuch mit ausgewählten Versuchsparametern beschrieben. Nach dem Versagen wurden die Proben am REM, mit Lichtmikroskopie und mit CT fraktographisch in Längs- und Querrichtung untersucht. Die erfassten Lebensdauern sind ähnlich zu denen aus herkömmlichen Studien und liegen unter derjenigen von dem konventionell hergestellten (geschmiedeten) Werkstoff. In dieser Arbeit wurden für den untersuchten Werkstoff bei anwendungs- und sicherheitsrelevanten Belastungszuständen (hohe Temperaturen, zyklische Plastizität) neue experimentelle Daten und Kennwerte ermittelt und Verständnis über das mechanische Verhalten und die Entwicklung der Mikrostruktur aufgebaut. Darüber hinaus wurde Verständnis über die Rolle von Bindefehlern und anderen typisch für AM auftretenden Gefügemerkmalen auf das Versagensverhalten von DED-L TiAl6V4 gewonnen.

Further chemical functionalization can enhance but also alter or reduce specific properties of the graphene. To reveal the nature of these materials a proper physico‑chemical characterization with different analytical techniques is crucial. Single-layer GO flakes provided by Graphenea (Spain) were prepared for systematic image analysis. These flakes were disposed on an alignment-marked SiO2 substrate and correlatively imaged by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and Raman spectroscopy. The high lateral resolution and/ or extreme surface sensitivity of the mentioned techniques is necessary to explore monolayers. The ToF-SIMS images match well with the SEM and AFM images and provide information about the chemistry. With 2D Raman spectroscopy it is possible to differentiate between the number of stacked single-layer flakes. This is visualized in a 3D image. Well-defined GO flakes could be used as a reference material for imaging of graphene-like structures but also of other types of 2D materials. In addition to these monolayer GO flakes, commercial graphene-containing inks (Haydale) with a more complex morphology were also correlatively imaged. ToF-SIMS and SEM images were merged to identify the origin of different chemical fragments. The findings correlate closely with the expectation that the specific functionalizations (with fluorine and nitrogen as marker elements) are present only on the graphene flakes as presumed from the SEM images. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) supports these results, yet with a much lower sensitivity compared to ToF-SIMS.

The reliable quantification of the composition of graphene-related 2D materials as liquid suspensions is still a challenging task, which can hinder the commercialisation of the products. Specific parameters to be measured are defined, e.g. the oxygen-to-carbon (O/C) concentration ratio, the trace metal impurities, or the functional groups present [1], but reference protocols are still missing. One of the central methods for the quantification is X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) as a rather expensive method. Therefore, the development of cheaper alternatives is highly desired. One attractive alternative of XPS is energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) which is usually coupled with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This combination is one of the most widely used methods in analytical laboratories. In this contribution the results of a systematic study on the capability of SEM/EDS to reliably quantify the O/C ratio in a well-defined and well-characterized graphene oxide material [2] are presented. The robustness of the SEM/EDS results obtained at various measurement conditions (various excitation energies) is tested by comparing the results to the established XPS analysis [3], which has been carried out on the same samples. It is demonstrated that for samples prepared by drop-casting on a substrate, both surface-sensitive XPS analysis and bulk-characterising EDS result in very similar elemental composition of oxygen and carbon for thick spots. Further, the effect of untight deposited material enabling co-analysis of the (silicon) substrate, is evaluated for both methods, XPS and EDS. The last results clearly show the influence of the substrate on the analysis of the results and stressed out the importance of the sample preparation.

It was agreed to organize at a later stage a second inter-lab comparison with the nanoparticles distributed to the participants as a liquid suspension. Protocols for uniform nanoparticle deposition on suited supports developed and optimized within the EMPIR nPSize project are also prepared to be distributed. For this, we have chosen the VAMAS platform (www.vamas.org) which offers an excellent international infrastructure of laboratories with high competence in nanoparticle measurement. The VAMAS technical working area dedicated to nanoparticle measurement is TWA 34 ‘Nanoparticle populations’. For this type of nanoparticles, the size and shape distributions are the primary parameters to be reported. Due to the good deposition protocols developed, an automated image analysis is enabled (in contrast to the manual analysis of irregular TiO2 nanoparticles. In parallel with the TiO2 nanoparticle exercise, two spherical SiO2 nanoparticle samples with bi-modal size distributions (nominal relative number concentrations of 1:1 and 10:1) are prepared for a second VAMAS inter-lab comparison. Here, the nanoparticle concentration is the primary parameter to be measured. For the imaging methods it is targeted to measure the relative nanoparticle concentrations of the two modes. For the absolute nanoparticle concentration to be measured by imaging methods it is necessary to control the volume of the liquid suspension deposited on the substrate and to obtain such a homogeneous nanoparticle deposition on the substrate which allows to count (or extrapolate) all the deposited particles.
