New applications in complex shaped additive manufactured metal parts are emerging for example in large scale electrical devices. Microstructural and dielectric evaluation of coatings is crucial to the employment of such free-form processes. The properties and microstructure of the plasma sprayed alumina coatings are compared with dense reference samples of the same powder produced by spark plasma sintering (SPS). To obtain dense bulk samples from the coarse alumina powder for spray coating, SPS is used. Samples are fabricated by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) of commercially available alumina powder (d50 = 33 µm) on copper substrates and by SPS of the same powder. Microstructure and porosity were analyzed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Phase compositions were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Dielectric properties such as DC resistance, dielectric strength, dielectric loss, and relative permittivity were determined according to the standards. The microstructure and dielectric properties of the coating and bulk material are compared to assess whether the coating is suitable for use in electrical insulation application.

Therefore, risk assessment of these materials is becoming increasingly important. In this context, the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) considered eleven physico-chemical properties as relevant, of which the following six are essential for the registration: chemical composition, crystallinity, particle size, particle shape, surface chemistry and specific surface area. Four of these priority properties can be obtained with electron microscopy and surface analytics like XPS and ToF-SIMS. The reliability of this data must be ensured, especially for their use for grouping and read across approaches. On the other hand, the “reproducibility” crisis has revealed major shortcomings in the reliability of published data. In a case study, we show how the quality of the data can be ensured by using existing standards and protocols of each step in the workflow of sample characterization. As exemplary samples, two Al-coated TiO2 samples as nanopowders were selected from the JRC repository, capped either with a hydrophilic or a hydrophobic organic ultrathin shell. SEM results provided the size and shape of the nanoparticles, a first overview about the composition was obtained with EDS. XPS and ToF-SIMS supplied the surface chemistry, especially information about the shell and the coating of the particles. Standards and protocols of all steps of the analytical workflow including preparation and data reduction are discussed regarding reliable and reproducible data. Additionally, uncertainties for the different steps are specified. Only such a detailed description of all these factors allows a comprehensive physico-chemical characterization of the nanoparticles with understanding of their potential risk assessment.

A1 - Radnik, Jörg T1 - Characterization of sterilized nanoparticles by lab-based XPS and HAXPES N2 - The novel lab-based HAXPES spectrometer (ULVAC-PHI Quantes) gives us the possibility to measure XPS at 1486.6 eV (monochromatic Al Kα source) and HAXPES at 5414.9 eV (monochromatic Cr Kα source) on a sample at the same position. The surface analysis with this spectrometer leads to an information depth of about 10 nm for XPS and in comparison, to an analysis of deeper regions of about 30 nm for HAXPES measurements. This method provides a nondestructive way to distinguish between the near-surface region of the nanoparticles and the whole nanoparticle. Additionally, HAXPES gives access to deeper core levels at higher energy. An application of this technique is presented using nanoparticles. The results shown were obtained with nanoparticles, that were treated differently by means of sterilization for nanosafety (i.e., before studying their toxicity it is important to establish whether nanomaterials are sterile and, if not, to be treated either via microwave or autoclave sterilisation). As a complementary method, the data is compared with SEM and EDX measurements. All methods demonstrate the influence of sterilization. More specifically, these results show that the sterilization step must be considered in the physical-chemical description of the particles for establishing reliable (quantitative structure-activity) relationships.

During the build-up process, high cooling rates occur. Thus, L-PBF AlSi10Mg alloys exhibit a Si-nanostructure in the as-built condition, which leads to superior mechanical properties compared to conventional cast materials. At the same time, such high thermal gradients generally involve a deleterious residual stress (RS) state that needs to be assessed during the design process, before placing a component in service. To this purpose post-process heat treatments are commonly performed to relieve detrimental RS. In this contribution two low-temperature stress-relief heat treatments (SRHT) are studied and compared with the as-built state: a SRHT at 265°C for 1 hour and a SRHT at 300°C for 2 hours. At these temperatures microstructural changes occur. In the as-built state, Si atoms are supersaturated in the α-aluminium matrix, which is enveloped by a eutectic Si-network. At 265°C the Si precipitation from the matrix to the pre-existing network is triggered. Thereafter, above 295°C the fragmentation and spheroidization of the Si branches takes place, presumably by Al–Si interdiffusion. After 2 hours the original eutectic network is completely replaced by uniformly distributed blocky particles. The effect of the heat and the microstructure modification on the RS state and the fatigue properties is investigated. Energy dispersive x-ray and neutron diffraction are combined to investigate the near-surface and bulk RS state of a L-PBF AlSi10Mg material. Differences in the endurance limit are evaluated experimentally by high cycle fatigue (HCF) tests and cyclic R-curve determination.

T1 - Röntgen-Computertomographie-Verfahren zur quantitativen Charakterisierung periodischer Minimalflächenstrukturen (TMPS) N2 - Additiv gefertigte (AM) dreifach periodische metallische minimale Oberflächenstrukturen (TPMSS, aus dem Englischen Triply Periodic Minimum Surface Structures) erfüllen mehrere Anforderungen sowohl im biomedizinischen als auch im technischen Bereich: Abstimmbare mechanische Eigenschaften, geringe Empfindlichkeit gegenüber Herstellungsfehlern, mechanische Stabilität und hohe Energieabsorption. Allerdings stellen sie auch einige Herausforderungen in Bezug auf die Qualitätskontrolle dar, die ihre erfolgreiche Anwendung verhindern können. Tatsächlich ist die Optimierung des AM-Prozesses ohne die Berücksichtigung struktureller Merkmale wie Fertigungsgenauigkeit, interne Defekte sowie Oberflächentopographie und -rauheit unmöglich. In dieser Studie wurde die quantitative zerstörungsfreie Analyse von Ti-6Al-4V-Legierung TPMSS mit Hilfe der Röntgen-Computertomographie (XCT) durchgeführt. Es werden mehrere neue Bildanalyse-Workflows vorgestellt, um die Auswirkungen der Aufbaurichtung auf die Wanddickenverteilung, die Wanddegradation und die Verringerung der Oberflächenrauheit aufgrund des chemischen Ätzens von TPMSS zu bewerten. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Herstellungsgenauigkeit für die Strukturelemente, die parallel und orthogonal zu den hergestellten Schichten gedruckt werden, unterschiedlich ist. Verschiedene Strategien für das chemische Ätzen zeigten unterschiedliche Pulverabtragsfähigkeiten und damit ein Gradient der Wanddicke. Dies wirkte sich auf die mechanische Leistung unter Druck durch die Verringerung der Streckspannung aus. Eine positive Auswirkung des chemischen Ätzens ist die Verringerung der Oberflächenrauhigkeit, die möglicherweise die Ermüdungseigenschaften der Bauteile verbessern kann. Schließlich wurde XCT eingesetzt, um die Menge des zurückgehaltenen Pulvers mit der Porengröße des TPMSS zu korrelieren, wodurch der Herstellungsprozess weiter verbessert werden kann.

Für den schadensfreien Einsatz nichtrostender Stähle ergeben sich daraus zwei grundsätzliche Anforderungen. Erstens muss sich die Passivschicht vollständig ausbilden können. Dabei sind die Oberflächenausführung, die mechanische Bearbeitung, die Elementverteilung, Ausscheidungen, die Wärmeeinbringung z.B. bei der schweißtechnischen Verarbeitung, Anlauffarben, sowie die chemische Nachbehandlung bzw. Konditionierung der Oberflächen von großer Bedeutung. Zweitens muss die Repassivierung von Defektstellen unter den Einsatzbedingungen möglich sein. Für das Repassivierungsvermögen sind die Legierungszusammensetzung, mögliche kritische Betriebszustände, prozessbedingte Besonderheiten, wie etwa Stagnationsbedingungen und Reinigungsprozesse von Bedeutung.

The morphology of these structures, and so their chemistry, is influenced by the different laser processing parameters such as the laser fluence, wavelength, pulse repetition rate, the effective number of laser pulses per beam spot area, etc. A simple way to characterize laser-generated surface structures is by means of optical microscopy (OM) or white light interference microscopy (WLIM). The latter can address the surface topography, while having a lateral resolution limit of ~(lambda)/2 (lambda = illumination wavelength). To resolve morphologies with spatial periods significantly smaller than (lambda)/2, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is often used, taking benefit of the reduced de Broglie wavelength associated to the electrons of several keV energy. However, all the above-mentioned techniques lack the necessary depth-resolution to reveal and quantify sub-surface material modifications of these laser-generated structures. Time-of-Flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) represents a promising surface analytical technique for studying laser-induced chemical surface alterations since the method combines a high surface sensitivity with the capability to perform a depth-profiling of the laser-affected surface zone. In this study we combine WLIM and high-resolution SEM with ToF-SIMS to fully characterize the evolution of various types of laser-generated micro- and nanostructures formed on Ti-6Al-4V alloys upon irradiation by near infrared ultrashort laser pulses (1030 nm, 925 fs) at different laser fluence levels, effective number of pulses, and at different pulse repetition rates (1 – 400 kHz). We show how this combined surface analytical approach allows to evaluate alterations in the surface chemistry and topography of the laser-generated surface structures depending on the laser processing parameters T2 - ECASIA 2022 CY - Limerick, Ireland DA - 29.05.2022 KW - Laser-induced periodic surface structures KW - Time of Flight - Secondary ion mass spectrometry KW - White light interferometric microscopy KW - Titanium alloy PY - 2022 AN - OPUS4-54992 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Mishurova, Tatiana A1 - Serrano Munoz, Itziar T1 - Multiscale residual stress analysis and synchrotron X-ray refraction of additively manufactured parts N2 - The overview of the activity of group 8.5 Micro-NDT (BAM, Belin, Germany) in the field of additively manufacturing material characterization will be presented.

The current state of the work developed in this research framework allows showing the first batch of experimental results of crack propagation rate (FCGR) and high cycle fatigue (HCF) tests. The geometry of the vessels studied presents three clearly differentiated regions, either in terms of thickness (11-15 mm) or concerning the inclination of the walls to the direction of manufacturing (0º - 45º). The experimental campaign carried out so far allows identifying the differences in behaviour when comparing different extraction locations around the vessel. This is due to the variations in thermal cycles that the deposited material undergoes during the manufacturing process. Therefore, this causes variations in the microstructure which lead to changes in the response of the material. In this work, these differences are analysed qualitatively and quantitatively from the results of FCGR and HCF, thus allowing to locate the regions with the highest risk in terms of structural integrity against fatigue. This preliminary phase together with the numerical simulation of the additive manufacturing process are key to achieving a reliable description and modelling of the material. The latter will make it possible to address the priority aim of this project, involving the manufacture of independent samples whose properties are representative of the original material extracted from the reference vessels. It is, therefore, a comprehensive methodology for the design of additively manufactured components based on the localised fatigue mechanical properties of representative specimens.
