Zur Entwicklung optimaler Aufbauverfahren ist ein detailliertes Verständnis des Gefüges notwendig. Das additiv aufgebaute Gefüge zeigt eine Mikrostruktur, die geprägt ist von sehr hohen Abkühlraten und gerichtetem Kornwachstum. Mittels klassischer Metallographie können die Charakteristika des Gefüges wie Körner, Subkörner und Schmelzlinien sichtbar gemacht werden. Mittels EBSD werden Kristallorientierungen ermittelt und bildhaft aufbereitet. Die Feinstruktur der Körner wird im REM in der Übersicht aufgelöst. Erst im TEM kann bei hoher Vergrößerung die Natur der Zellstruktur quantitativ ermittelt werden.

The research questions are to clarify the limits and possibilities of the method regarding materials that can be produced, systems to which it is applicable and working beam parameters. Synthesis of nano-objects from microparticles using DIEF in TEM could be shown for different materials. Additionally, DIEF using the e-beam in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) can also be used to synthesis nano-objects. A deeper material analysis of this nano-objects was done using TEM and shows that the material of the nanoparticles (NPs) can be gold or/and silicon. Furthermore, the size of the NPs depends on the distance to the center of DIEF whereby the larger NPs are closer to the center. The areas of gold NPs are promising candidates for plasmonic or photonic devices for energy storage or transport.

T1 - Influence of the pH Value to the Degradation of Ester-Based Thermoplastic Polyurethanes N2 - Microplastics are solid polymeric particles with a size of 1-1000 μm (ISO/TR21960:2020), which can be emitted from mismanaged waste into the environment, where microplastic is now ubiquitous. What happens to the microplastics after ending up in the environment, which risks entail and what effects it has are not sufficiently clarified up to now. The most certain issue is that the plastic particles in the environment are exposed to natural ageing, are fragmenting and degrading, such that the potential risk to ecosystems and humans is increasing due to the formation of smaller and smaller particles, potentially even including nanoplastics, if these are ingested before their further degradation. Therefore, and in view of a possible registration of polymers under REACH in the future, it is necessary to investigate the degradation of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) regarding hydrolysis stability to evaluate possible risks and effects to the environment. In the present studies, one thermoplastic polyurethane – with and without hydrolysis stabilizer – is exposed to different pH buffers at 50°C for 14 days to investigate hydrolysis depending to different pH values (acid, alkali and neutral) based on OECD guideline TG111. The hydrolysis behavior of the TPUs is characterized by surface sensitive techniques and on bulk properties. First degradation effects can be detected by SEC. Hydrolysis, especially under acidic and basic conditions, leads to chain scissions to lower molecular masses. Furthermore, the degradation products which indicate the structure of the bulk material were detected by thermo-analytical methods like TGA-FTIR for the small degradation products and the thermo extraction/desorption-gaschromatography/mass spectrometry (TED-GC/MS) for bigger degradation products. Acidic and basic hydrolysis shows the same degradation behavior which is caused by a preferred scission of the ester and urethane functionalities. Surface-sensitive techniques such as XPS demonstrate less carboxylic acid formation at acidic than at alkaline pH value in the TPU without stabilator, where as the TPU with stabilator ages to the same extent in both pH ranges. Altogether, the hydrolysis of TPUs – independently of added stabilizer or not – in acid and alkali environment is accelerated compared to the neutral hydrolysis.

N2 - Nowadays, in every terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem, even in the remotest areas, small residues of plastics, the so called microplastic (MP) can be found. MPs are particles with a size of 1-1000 µm (ISO/TR 21960:2020), mainly containing synthetic polymers like polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Even styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) as an indication for tire wear is included due to similar particle formation. To understand the MPs consequences to the environment, it is of high priority to capture its extent of contamination. It is surprising that in the analysis of polymer masses in environmental samples, PE, PS and SBR are often detected, but only small amounts of PP, although this is the second most commonly produced standard plastic and many MP particles originate from carelessly disposed packaging materials. This presentation provides hypotheses about the reasons of rare PP identification and mass quantification in environmental samples. Different investigations of pristine PP and representative environmental samples, including the pre-treatment by Accelerated Solvent Extraction (ASE) or with density separation followed by the thermal extraction / desorption gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TED-GC/MS) are presented. The results are discussed according to the material properties and a possible degradation mechanism under different weathering conditions which indicate less stability under relevant storage conditions.

Currently, FTIR or Raman spectroscopy are mainly applied for the analysis of microplastic particles (MP) in environmental samples. However, these methods have great difficulties in determining metrologically traceable MP values, especially with regard to the limiting values, as preferred in regulation. Therefore, we developed a systematic and fast thermoanalytical method called TED-GC-MS (thermal extraction desorption gas chromatography mass spectrometry), which determines mass contents. Now the current goal is the determination of its process parameters. This poster illustrates the theoretical requirements for MP analysis (left side) and contrast them with the current state of research (right side).Unexpected practical problems are presented and the relatively new method is discussed concerning the quality requirements of well-established methods such as LC-or GC-MS.

That becomes clear, while looking at the advantages like a high degree of freedom concerning the geometry of the parts, low waste rates and a reduction of postprocessing, to name just three. Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) is one of those AM- methods. It can be used for different kinds of applications, e.g. repair weldings of used parts, coatings to increase the corrosion resistance or to build up new components. But for all applications, the production of defect free parts is crucial. Therefore, different kinds of non-destructive monitoring techniques were tested for the LMD-process to identify their potential to detect imperfections in-situ.

A notable number of approaches for in-process monitoring of the PBF-LB/M process focus on the monitoring of thermal process signatures. However, due to the elaborate calibration effort and the lack of knowledge about the occurring spectral directional emissivity, only a few approaches attempt to measure real temperatures. In this study, to gain initial insights into occurring in the PBF-LB/M process, measurements on PBF-LB/M specimens and metal powder specimens were performed for higher temperatures up to T = 1290 °C by means of the emissivity measurement apparatus (EMMA) of the Center for Applied Energy Research (CAE, Wuerzburg, Germany). Also, measurements at ambient temperatures were performed with a suitable measurement setup. Two different materials—stainless steel 316L and aluminum AlSi10Mg—were examined. The investigated wavelength λ ranges from the visible range (λ-VIS = 0.40–0.75 µm) up to the infrared, λ = 20 µm. The influence of the following factors were investigated: azimuth angle φ, specimen temperature TS, surface texture as for PBF-LB/M surfaces with different scan angles α, and powder surfaces with different layer thicknesses t.

A1 - Richter, Silke A1 - Abad, Carlos T1 - Fluorine Depth Profiling in Lithium-Ion Battery Materials by GD-OES N2 - Lithium-ion batteries are a key technology for tackling challenges in energy and climate crisis, but up to 30 % are discarded right after production. Quality is closely related to the homogeneity of the used materials and coatings. Fluorine compounds, both in the polymer and from degradation of the electrolyte, are of special interest for the formation and aging of LIBs. Glow-discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GD-OES) emerged as a fast and convenient method for depth-profiling of battery materials. However, fluorine remains a spectroscopic challenge due to a high excitation energy and only few strong emission lines in the UV/Vis spectral range. We investigated the partial substitution of argon with neon in the plasma gas. The main emission line at 685.603 nm was monitored by both photo multiplier tube (PMT) with Czerny-Turner monochromator at 20 µm slit-size, and charge-coupled device (CCD) with 1200 lines/mm grating. For calibration, we used a set of hot-pressed copper cylinders with varying calcium fluoride amount fraction, ranging from 1.6 % to 4.4 %. Plasma gas mixtures with a mole fraction of 5 %, 10 % and 20 % neon in argon were used. Sensitivity in comparison to pure argon was increased by factor 4, 7 and 14, respectively. In general, PMT detection was more sensitive than CCD. As expected, sputter rates decreased with higher neon content in the plasma gas. Depth-profiling of the cathodes was performed in pulsed mode at constant voltage and pressure, which resulted in stable plasma conditions. We achieve matrix-independent quantitative information on fluorine distribution by correction based on sputter rates. This advancement in GD-OES provides a more accurate analytical approach for evaluating the homogeneity of lithium-ion battery materials, potentially leading to more sustainable and cost-effective manufacturing processes.

Sols of MgF2 and CaF2 were synthesized and their efficacy was tested against fungi and termites (Rehmer 2016, Krahl et al. 2016). The sols were characterized by XRD and SEM. The wood specimens were vacuum impregnated with nanoparticles and then exposed to fungi and termites according to EU certified test conditions. Our results show that wood impregnated with metal fluoride nanoparticles significantly reduce cellulose hydrolysis by fungi and termites. The wood samples were exposed to brown-rot fungi; Coniophora puteana and Poria placenta. Between the two fungi, the overall mass lost due to fungal degradation was lower for treated (MgF2 and CaF2) wood samples exposed to Coniophora puteana. Thus, the metal fluoride nanoparticles impregnated in the wood samples were more efficient in reducing cellulose degradation from Coniophora puteana than from Poria placenta. However the mass loss in samples treated with MgF2 was similar to those treated with CaF2, irrespective of type of fungi. Therefore, it is likely that fungal degradation in treated samples was dependent on the biocidal action of fluorides rather than on the differences in chemical and physical properties of MgF2 and CaF2, respectively. Conversely, for termite exposure, wood samples treated with MgF2 had lower cellulose degradation compared to those treated with CaF2. A possible explanation for this difference in results could be fungi and termites use separate mechanisms for cellulose hydrolysis which will be further investigated. Future experiments include testing the leaching potential of MgF2 and CaF2 nanoparticles from wood. The results from the leaching experiment will test if metal fluoride nanoparticles can provide long-term and environmentally safe protection to wood.

Thermography is a nondestructive testing method that allows the in-situ determination of the thermal history of the produced part which is connected to the mechanical properties and the formation of defects [1]. A wide range of commercial thermographic camera systems working in different spectral ranges is available on the market. The understanding of the applicability of these cameras for qualitative and quantitative in-situ measurements in L-PBF is of vital importance [2]. In this study, the building process of a cylindrical specimen (Inconel 718) is monitored by three camera systems simultaniously. These camera systems are sensitive in various spectral bandwidths providing information in different temperature ranges. The performance of each camera system is explored in the context of the extraction of image features for the detection of defects. It is shown that the high temporal and thermal process dynamics are limiting factors on this matter. The combination of different spectral camera systems promises the potential of an improved defect detection by data fusion.

Although such admixtures have meanwhile become common practice in many applications of concrete technology, the understanding of these highly complex systems is still limited and the relevant parameters, which predominantly control the interaction between the superplasticizer and the cement components, have not been identified yet. Optical methods have been successfully used for the analysis and monitoring of the interactions between a broad variety of nanoscale and molecular systems like nanoparticles of various chemical composition and different types of organic ligands or biomolecules. This encouraged us to assess the potential of these methods, and particularly reflectance and fluorescence measurements, for the study of the interactions that occur at the interface between particle or hydrate surfaces and the fluid phase at a very early stage of concrete formation. Special emphasis is dedicated to search for and identify differences between commonly used superplasticizers. Here, we focus on hydration effects using commercial comb shape polycarboxylate ethers (PCEs) with different charge densities, which are known to allow a very low water/cement ratio (w/c of 0.20 or less) while maintaining good workability. Based upon changes of the intensity of the reflectance and fluorescence signal and spectral effects of a dye, acting as optical reporter, a model for the interactions of dye, PCE molecules and cement nanoparticles in the very first phase of cement hydration is derived T2 - Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker-Analytische Chemie-Anakon 2017 CY - Tübingen, Germany DA - 03.04.2017 KW - Cement hydration KW - Optical spectroscopy KW - Superplasticizers PY - 2017 AN - OPUS4-39882 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Miclea, P.-T.

Furthermore, the effects of these MNPs should be evaluated by risk and hazard assessment with test particles close to reality. To better understand MNP behavior and aid in clarification of their interactions with organisms, we produced several MNP materials by top-down procedure and characterized their properties. Since surface properties mostly determine particles’ toxicity, the aim of the present study was to determine which functional groups are present on MNPs and how the surface can be affected by the production process and particle’s environment.

T1 - Extending Bio-SAXS measurements of Single-Stranded DNA-Binding Proteins: Radiation Protection of G5P by Cosolutes N2 - Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) can be used for structural de- termination of biological macromolecules and polymers in their na- tive states. To improve the reliability of such experiments, the re- duction of radiation damage occurring from exposure to X-rays is needed.One method, is the use of scavenger molecules that protect macromolecules against radicals produced by radiation exposure.In this study we investigate the feasibility to apply the compatible solute, osmolyte and radiation protector Ectoine (THP(B)) as a scavenger throughout SAXS measurements of single-stranded DNA-binding protein Gene-V Protein (G5P/GVP). Therefore we monitor the radiation induced changes of G5P during bio-SAXS. The resulting microscopic energy-damage relation was determined by particle scattering simu- lations with TOPAS/Geant4. The results are interpreted in terms of radical scavenging as well as post-irradiation effects, related to preferential-exclusion from the protein surface. Thus, Ectoine provides an non-disturbing way to improve structure-determination of proteins via bio-SAXS in future studies.

The incorporation of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) is known to improve many key characteristics and provide new functionalities in polymer materials. Presented work aims to prepare and characterize an organic-inorganic coating material designed to bring together advantageous properties of hybrid materials and reinforcement effect delivered from the inorganic NPs embedment. Siloxane-based hybrid resins hold great advantages as coating materials as their properties can be tuned between those of polymers and those of glasses, thus, the compositions with superior thermal and mechanical properties can be achieved. We used Cycloaliphatic Epoxy Oligosiloxane (CEOS) resin as a polymeric matrix where the network formation was achieved by UV induced cationic polymerisation. Boehmite Alumina (BA) nanoparticles were added to CEOS resin as a reinforcing agent and resultant material was processed into films either by bar-coating or by spin-coating depending on further characterization procedure. Two different types of BA NPs, hydrophilic and organophilic, were used in order to assess the impact of particles surface on the resin characteristics. CEOS synthesis by condensation reaction was confirmed using 13C and 29Si NMR. Changes in CEOS photocuring process, resulting from particles incorporation, were monitored by real-time IR spectroscopy. At the same time, the thermal behaviour was evaluated by DSC and TGA methods. Morphology of the coatings was investigated by means of SEM operated in transmission mode. It was observed that BA presence increased the epoxy conversion degree and glass transition temperature. Material formulations providing best film characteristics were determined with regard to the particle type and loading. Compared to the hydrophilic nanoparticles, organophilic BA NPs yield superior overall performance of the foils.

The integrity of MPL microstructures, or their ability to respond to external stimuli, is of critical importance. However, achieving the desired properties of fabricated microcomponents for a specific application remains a challenge. In this work, we present new MPL materials based on epoxy-acrylate interpenetrating networks (IPNs). We aim at 3D microstructures, whose properties can be easily tuned by varying the ratio of the IPN components and fabrication parameters (Figure 1). The resulting library of 3D microstructures was investigated for their thermal and mechanical properties using highly-sensitive space-resolved methods. Flash scanning calorimetry revealed the influence of both, IPN composition and fabrication parameters, on glass transition temperature and material fragility. AFM force-distance curve and intermodulation methods were used to characterize the mechanical properties with a lateral resolution of 1 micron and 4 nm, respectively. The deformation, stiffness and elastic behavior are discussed in detail in relation to the morphology. Moreover, we found that some 3D IPN microstructures exhibit fully elastic behavior. Our funding encourages the further development of IPN systems as versatile and easily tunable MPL materials.

One of the main challenges is the reduction of green house gases, such as CO2. One opportunity besides the capturing is the conversion to synthesis gas via the reverse water-gas shift reaction. A facile and efficient method is described for the solvothermal synthesis of size-tunable, stable, and uniform NiCu core-shell NPs. The diameter of the NPs can be tuned in a range from 6 nm to 30 nm and the Ni:Cu ratio from 30:1 to 1:1. The NPs are structurally characterized with combination of transmission electron microscopy, anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray absorption fine structure. Using these analytical methods, a core-shell-shell structure their chemical composition is elucidated. A depletion from the core to the shell is observed, with the core consisting of NiCu alloy, surrounded by an inner Ni-rich shell and an outer NiO shell. The SiO2-supported NiCu core-shell NPs show pronounced selectivity of >99% for CO in the catalytic reduction of CO2 to CO using hydrogen as reactant (reverse water–gas shift reaction).

These electrons are created in copious amount as result of inelastic scattering of high energy radiation at water. Until now, all experiments the quantification of the effects of LEEs on the biomolecular damage was either performed in vacuum with LEE sources or with DNA on surfaces in humid atmosphere. We present a new experimental setup to irradiate biomolecules with electrons under physiological conditions. In combination with monte carlo simulations this setup makes it possible to determine microdosimetric quantities for biomolecules in liquid environment under electron irradiation. This opens up new possibilities in radiation research to access the LEE damage under well defined physiological condition, for more complex systems, such as DNA-Protein complexes and even living cells.

T1 - Gas solubility in ionic liquids: Solubility of a binary gas mixture in a pure ionic liquid as well as of a single gas in a binary liquid mixture N2 - Ionic Liquids (ILs) are employed in various fields, for example, reaction engineering (reactions with gases, such as hydroformylation (CO, H2), hydrogenation (H2), oxidation (O2)) or separation technology (separations of gases, reactants, and high-volatility reaction products). For the basic engineering of such processes, knowledge of phase equilibria, particularly of mixtures, over a broad (p,T) range is mandatory. This contribution reports on recent experimental results from our laboratory: – for the simultaneous solubility of a binary gas mixture in a pure ionic liquid – for the solubility of a single gas in a binary liquid solvent mixture.

T1 - Reliable information on solids from liquid-Phase adsorption N2 - For the characterization of disperse and porous solids, usually single gas adsorption(GA) is employed. In the case of liquid adsorption (LA), the extraction of information on solids immediately becomes a more sophisticated matter since information on geometric as well energetic parameters of the solids is both superposed by liquid-mixture effects and displayed in excess terms. We have to ask if reliable solid parameters can be also obtained from LA isotherms. The enlarged data bank of gas and liquid adsorption measurements enables us to change systematically solid parameters (e.g., the pore width of MCM-41, the pore entrances of SBA-16, chemical heterogeneity) and to study in this way the influence of solid parameters on LA.

The electrical treeing starts at unavoidable imperfections inside the material or at interfaces. The damage is usually irreversible and leads around the starting points to a partial destruction of the material. To prolong the lifetime and thereby to increase the assurance of the structural component commonly, for mechanical improvement constituted filler is modified to obtain a self-healing silicone rubber. Damage mechanism is analysed to address the filler to the damage mode.

These equations are strictly valid only at absolute zero temperature. To include temperature effects a stochastic version of the LL or LLG equation for a spin density of one per unit cell can be used instead. To apply the stochastic LL to micromagnetic simulations, where the spin density per unit cell is generally higher, a conversion regarding simulation cell size and temperature has to be established. Based on energetic considerations, a conversion for ferromagnetic bulk and thin film systems is proposed. The conversion is tested in micromagnetic simulations which are performed with the Object Oriented Micromagnetic Framework (OOMMF). The Curie temperatures of bulk Nickel, Cobalt and Iron systems as well as Nickel thin-film systems with thicknesses between 6.3 mono layer (ML) and 31ML are determined from micromagnetic simulations. The results show a good agreement with experimentally determined Curie temperatures of bulk and thin film systems when temperature scaling is performed according to the presented model.

T1 - Radioactive gold nanoparticles for cancer treatment: Size and cluster dependent damage studied by Geant4 Monte-Carlo simulations N2 - Dose enhancement by gold nanoparticles (AuNP) was shown to increase the biological effectiveness of radiation damage in biomolecules and tissue. Most of the current studies focus on external beam therapy on combination with AuNP. Here we present a Monte-Carlo study (Geant4) to characterise radioactive AuNP. Radioactive ¹⁹⁸Au emits beta and gamma rays and is considered for applications with solid tumours. To effectively apply ¹⁹⁸AuNP their energy deposit characteristics have to be determined in terms of intrinsic and extrinsic properties e.g. AuNP diameter, AuNP density, and their clustering behaviour. After each decay process, the energy deposit, inelastic scattering events, kinetic energy spectrum of secondary particles within the AuNP themselves and in a spherical target volume of water up to 1 μm radius were determined. Simulations were performed for AuNP radii ranging from 2.5 nm to 20 nm radius, different cluster sizes and densities. The results show an increase of the energy deposit in the vicinity of the AuNP up to 150 nm. This effect nearly vanishes for distances up to one micron. For the case of AuNP clusters and the same activity, the enhancement of the energy deposit increases with the relative gold mass percentage and therefore can be adjusted by changing AuNP radius or clustering behaviour.

Beside macroscopic toughening nanoparticle reinforced polymers show a soft interface around boehmite (AlOOH) filler nanoparticles. A related strong interaction between boehmite and the anhydride cured resin system is widely suspected in literature but not determined by structural Analysis. Determination of the molecular structure is important to allow simulations approaching the real system and predict future reinforcing effects. DRIFT (diffuse refletance infrared fourier transformed) spectra of the boehmite reinforced anhydride cured epoxy show significant changes in the molecular structure compared to the neat polymer. Further investigations of the interactions between the single components of the resin system and the boehmite filler pointed out reactions between released water released from the boehmite filler and the anhydride hardener or amine accelerator. This leads to the discussion of competing polymerisation mechanisms that highly influence the polymer properties. Ongoing experiments and literature research approve that this impact of water is able to locally change the stoichiometrie, alter the curing mechanism or support an inhomogeneous crosslink density.

A1 - Radnik, Jörg A1 - Sturm, Heinz T1 - Polydopamine micropatterning for selective substrate bio-functionalization N2 - Inspired by the chemistry of mussel adhesive proteins, polydopamine (PDA) exhibits strong adhesion to nearly any kind of organic or inorganic surface and shows high ability for surface post-modification and secondary reactions. As a result, PDA has been widely used as a base adlayer to enable versatile surface chemistry and functionalization. It has shown great potential in wide range of applications including biomedical field (e.g., drug delivery, adhesives, photothermal therapy, bone and tissue engineering, cell adhesion, biosensing). However, implementation of PDA in microdevices is still hindered by insufficient spatial and temporal control of excited deposition methods. In this work we present a novel approach to fabricate tunable micropatterned substrates where mussel-inspired chemistry provides base for various surface modification [2]. Current approach applies Multiphoton Lithography (MPL) to initiate local PDA formation, and, therefore, does not require use of microstamp or photomask. As a result, the microstructures of complex designs can be produced with the spatial resolution down to 0.8 μm (Figure 1). The desired design can be easily altered by adjusting the stl model or the fabrication code. Unlike the conventional deposition of PDA based on dopamine auto-oxidation, our method does not require presence of strong oxidants, metal ions or alkaline pH. Herein-demonstrated deposition approach will significantly facilitate applications of polydopamine and other mussel-inspired materials in microdevices and high-resolution active microcomponents (e.g., in MEMS and microfluidics). Adjustment of MPL parameters revealed that the morphology and thickness of resulted PDA microstructures can be controlled by altering the laser power and its scanning velocity. As a result, it also enables the production of micropatterns with structural gradient. Apart from the glass substrate, we performed PDA patterning at surfaces of different nature such as polychlorotrifluoroethylene, polydimethylsiloxane, polyethylene terephthalate, silicon wafers, and fluorinated glass coverslips. We tested different composition of dopamine solution for its ability of PDA buildup. Solutions containing Tris buffer, phosphate buffer or DI water only as well as different pH (6.0, 7.0 and 8.5) could be successfully applied for high-precision PDA micropatterning. Moreover, the effect of antioxidants and purging of the solution with oxygen and nitrogen was investigated. In all cases, no decrease of deposition efficiency was observed. The chemical nature of PDA was confirmed by locally recorded vibrational and x-ray photoelectron spectra. To ensure post-modification potential of MPL deposited PDA we demonstrated one-step deposition of micropatterns with trypsin. Obtained bio-functionalised surface can be further applied as a protein sensing active microelement.

T1 - Morpho-Chemical Characterisation of Me-TiO2 Nanoparticles for Enhanced Photocatalytical Activity N2 - The conversion of solar energy into electricity and solar fuels is of crucial importance for a green and sustainable future. Water splitting using semiconductor photo-catalysts is considered a sustainable method to produce clean hydrogen (H2) fuel. Nevertheless, H2 photo-production efficiency remains still low, although extensive research works to understand better the mechanisms of the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) and the Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) are being carried out. In this respect, TiO2 is a key photoactive material, usually employed with a co-catalyst deposited onto the surface to enhance charge carriers’ separation and catalyze surface charge transfer reactions. The deposition of a co-catalyst on the TiO2 nanoparticle surface represents one successful way to enhance the activity of the photocatalyst through a modification of its surface and redox properties. In this context, high-resolution scanning electron microscopy coupled with elemental analysis by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) is fundamental for studying and understanding the effect of the nanoparticle morphology on the functional properties of shape-controlled TiO2 crystals (bipyramides, platelets, and elongated particles). Different types of metal-semiconductor combinations, TiO2 shapes and dopant metals (Ag, Pt, etc) and metal concentrations will be discussed.

The storage of excess electrical energy into chemical energy by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen is a feasible solution in this economic sector. A major drawback of electrical energy lies in the storage. Therefore, hydrogen is discussed as promising alternative. Fortunately, this issue can be effectively addressed through the implementation of chemical storage mechanisms. Due to their abundance on Earth and inherent stability in alkaline solutions, transition-metal oxides have become one of several viable alternatives to conventional noble-metal catalysts. Since FeNi oxide is one of the most active oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts for alkaline water electrolysis, it has been the subject of extensive research. A series of different types of FeNi oxide nanoparticles (NPs) with atomic ratios covering a broad range, and various sizes with specific stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric iron and nickel ratios was synthesized and characterized by the combination of surface analysis techniques, such as time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The morphology was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which revealed the coexistence of mixed and unmixed iron and nickel NPs with comparable sizes in the range of 30–40 nm across all ratios. The synthesis technique displayed control over the iron-nickel ratio, as evidenced by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) data. The presence of magnetite (Fe3O4) was detected in all samples investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, the existence of nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) was shown in the Fe2Ni by XRD analysis. For the cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements, the NPs were deposited onto glassy carbon electrodes using Nafion® as an ionomer, and 1 M KOH was employed as the electrolyte. Subsequently, the NPs/Nafion® electrode was transferred into the ToF-SIMS chamber to allow surface analysis and depth profiling. The ToF-SIMS analysis revealed distinct peaks corresponding to Fe, Ni, and other peaks associated with Nafion®, whereas a straightforward correlation between the Ni.Fe ratio and the SIMS peak pattern is not possible. The catalytic activity towards OER was evaluated through CV measurements, where the Fe2Ni3 ratio exhibited the most favorable performance, displaying a lower overpotential.

The presence of magnetite (Fe3O4) was detected in all samples investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, the existence of nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) was shown in the Fe2Ni by XRD analysis. For the cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements, the NPs were deposited onto glassy carbon electrodes using Nafion® as an ionomer, and 1 M KOH was employed as the electrolyte. Subsequently, the NPs/Nafion® electrode was transferred into the ToF-SIMS chamber to allow surface analysis and depth profiling. The ToF-SIMS analysis revealed distinct peaks corresponding to Fe, Ni, and other peaks associated with Nafion®, whereas a straightforward correlation between the Ni.Fe ratio and the SIMS peak pattern is not possible. The catalytic activity towards OER was evaluated through CV measurements, where the Fe2Ni3 ratio exhibited the most favorable performance, displaying a lower overpotential.

Improving the performance of the material with desirable properties requires understanding of the interaction between polymer chains and nanoparticles and the properties of the interphase as well. Boehmite, a mineral of aluminum with basic unit of AlO(OH), is a novel and promising nanofiller which leads to enhanced performance of polymer composites. It has been recently reported that boehmite nanoparticles have reinforcing effect on epoxy matrix in carbon-fiber composites. It was primarily assumed that these improvements are due to very high Young’s modulus of boehmite particles. However, in our latest study we presented new values for the Young’s modulus of boehmite much lower than those reported earlier. This brings up the importance of interphase properties, e.g. the crosslink density, which can have the dominant role in the overall material property. Nevertheless, due to resolution limitations of conventional nanoprobing approaches, characterization of the interphase between individual particles and matrix is a challenge. In this study, the main goal is to investigate the interphase of the epoxy/boehmite nanocomposites using AFM-based methods. We simplify the three-dimensional nanocomposite system to a two-dimensional horizontally layered sample with a large and easy to access interphase area. For this purpose, 1µm coatings of hydrothermally synthesized boehmite are prepared as the substrate on which the epoxy is later molded and cured. AFM surface potential and force maps were obtained on the cross-sectional cut of epoxy/ boehmite sample. The results show unexpectedly a large interphase area (approx. 1 µm) with different electrical and mechanical properties comparing to bulk epoxy. The average force-distance curves from this region showed more elastic behavior compared to bulk. The underlying mechanism of this influence is not fully understood yet. Thus, further investigation on the interphase region using the novel Nano-IR approach provides more information about the chemical characteristics. Numerical simulation will give complementary information to understand the effect of nanoparticles on the crosslinking density of the interphase. This can be different to bulk epoxy due to either different local temperature gradients or due to a surface selectivity of boehmite towards the monomer molecules.

Besides the type and properties of nanoparticles, their dispersing in the elastomeric matrix and the stability of this dispersion through all processing steps are the main factors for the resulting performance of the produced material. Therefore, a preparation chain via latex premixing to a highly filled masterbatch, followed by conventional technical processing is to be developed. Three types of carbon-based particles are characterized as such (SEM, Raman Spectroscopy, BET specific surface area) and in combination with natural rubber, as nanocomposites (TEM. Hardness, Abrasion resistance, Compression set, Cone calorimetry). All of the studied particles lead to an improvement in the investigated mechanical properties, the extent of reinforcement depends strongly on the specific surface of the particle interacting with the elastomeric matrix in combination with their shape.

T1 - Prozessüberwachung mittels Thermografie im Laser-Pulverbettschweißen zur Vorhersage von Fehlstellen im Bauteilvolumen N2 - Metallbasierte additive Fertigungsverfahren werden zunehmend industriell zur Anfertigung von komplex geformten Komponenten eingesetzt. In diesem Zusammenhang ist das Laser-Pulverbettschweißen von Metall (PBF-LB/M) ist ein weitläufig genutztes Verfahren. Im PBF-LB/M-Prozess werden lagenweise aufgetragene Metallpulverschichten selektiv mittels eines Lasers aufgeschmolzen. Die Entstehung von internen Fehlstellen (bspw. Porosität, Lunker oder Risse) während des Fertigungsvorgangs stellt ein ernstzunehmendes Risiko für die Bauteilsicherheit und somit für die weitere industrielle Etablierung des Verfahrens dar. Die Entstehung von Fehlstellen hängt eng mit lokalen Änderungen der thermischen Historie des Bauteils zusammen. Mit Hilfe von thermografischen Kameras zur Prozessüberwachung kann die thermische Historie bereits während der Fertigung erfasst werden. Damit eröffnet sich die Möglichkeit, die Entstehung von Fehlstellen anhand der thermografischen Daten vorherzusagen und somit potenziell Kosten für eine nachgelagerte Qualitätssicherung einzusparen. In diesem Beitrag soll die Modellierung der Fehlstellenvorhersage anhand thermografischer Prozessdaten diskutiert werden. Hierbei liegt ein Schwerpunkt auf der Fragestellung, mit welcher Genauigkeit unterschiedliche Formen von Fehlstellen, im speziellen Anbindungsfehler und Keyhole-Porosität, auf lokaler Bauteilebene vorhergesagt werden können. Weiterhin werden verschiedenen Modelltypen aus dem Bereich des Maschinellen Lernens auf ihre Eignung für die Fehlstellenvorhersage verglichen. Ein weiterer zentraler Aspekt in diesem Zusammenhang ist die Untersuchung der Eingangsdaten des Modells auf ihre Relevanz für das Vorhersageergebnis. Als Datengrundlage für die durchgeführten Untersuchungen dienen die Fertigungsprozesse von zwei identischen Haynes-282-Bauteilen (Nickel-Basislegierung), welche mit Hilfe einer im kurzwelligen Infrarotbereich arbeitenden Thermografiekamera überwacht wurden. Das Bauteildesign umfasste lokale Bereiche, in denen mit Hilfe einer Parametervariation die Entstehung von Fehlstellen forciert wurde. Um die Position und Größe der entstandenen Defekte zu quantifizieren, wurden beide Bauteile nach erfolgter Fertigung mittels Computertomografie (CT) geprüft. Im Rahmen der Datenvorbereitung für die Modellierung erfolgte eine Reduzierung der erhobenen Thermogramme zu physikalisch-interpretierbaren Merkmalen (bspw. Schmelzbadfläche oder Zeit-über-Schwellwert). Weiterhin erfolgte eine Registrierung der thermografischen Daten mit den Fehlstellen-Referenzdaten der CT, um eine exakte örtliche Überlagerung von thermischer Information und lokalem Fehlstellenbild zu erzielen. Zur Ermöglichung einer lokalen Fehlstellenvorhersage wurden die thermografischen Daten schichtweise in kleinteiligen Volumina angeordnet, welche als Eingangsgröße für die genutzten ML-Algorithmen dienten. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchungen zeigen, dass sich die Porosität auf Bauteilschichtebene mit einer hohen Genauigkeit vorhersagen lässt. Eine Vorhersage der Porosität auf lokaler Bauteilebene erweist sich noch als herausfordernd. Die erprobten ML-Algorithmen zeigen vergleichbare Ergebnisse, obwohl ihnen unterschiedliche Modellierungsannahmen zugrunde liegen und sie variierende Komplexität aufweisen. Mit Hilfe der erzielten Erkenntnisse eröffnet sich die Möglichkeit, Rückschlüsse auf die gewählte Prozessüberwachungshardware und Datenvorverarbeitung zu ziehen und somit langfristig die Leistungsfähigkeit von Modellen zur Fehlstellenvorhersage zu verbessern.

Such LIPSS enable a large variety of different surface functionalizations for applications in the fields of optics, fluidics, tribology, or medicine. Moreover, so-called “high spatial frequency LIPSS” (HSFL) provide an appealing and straightforward way for surface nanostructuring featuring spatial periods even below 100 nm – far beyond the optical diffraction limit. However, the imposed surface functionalities are usually caused by both, topographic and chemical surface alterations. For exploring these effects in detail, multi-method characterizations were performed here for HSFL on processed Ti- 6Al- 4V alloy upon irradiation with near-infrared ps-laser pulses (1030 nm wavelength, ~1 ps pulse duration, 1 – 400 kHz pulse repetition rate) under different laser and scan processing conditions. The sample characterization involved morphological and topographical investigations by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), stylus profilometry (SP), and white light interference microscopy (WLIM), as well as near-surface chemical analyses by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) and depth-profiling time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). The results allow to qualify the laser ablation depth, the geometrical HSFL characteristics and provide detailed insights into the depth extent and the nature of the ps-laser-induced near-surface oxidation.

Fabricated micro-objects often are expected to undergo shape morphing or bending. Furthermore, ensuring precise property tuning becomes detrimental for the functionality of MPL microstructures. Herein, we present novel MPL materials based on interpenetrating networks (IPNs), which effectively combine the advantages of acrylate and epoxy thermoset systems. A library of 3D MPL IPN microstructures with high 3D structural stability and tailored thermal and micromechanical properties is achieved. MPL laser velocity and fabrication power can be used to tune the morphology and therefore properties of IPN. New IPN microstructures with materials Young's moduli of 4 to 6 MPa demonstrate susceptibility to deformation with high to fully elastic response. Such soft elastic materials hold immense promise within morphable microsystems, soft micro-robotics and cell engineering applications.

It is based on the well-known isotope shift of around 15 pm for the electronic transition at wavelength 670.7845 nm which can be measured by a high-resolution continuum source atomic absorption spectrometer (HR-CS-AAS). For isotope amount ratio analysis, a scalable three boosting machine learning algorithm (XGBoost) was employed and calibrated with a set of samples with a 6Li isotope amount fraction ranging from 99% to 6%. The absolute Li isotope amount fractions of these calibration samples were previously measured by multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS) and used as ab-initio data for the machine learning algorithm. Validation of the machine leaning model was performed with two standard reference materials (LSVEC and IRMM-016). The procedure was employed for the isotope amount ratio determination of a set of stock chemicals (Li2CO3, LiNO3, LiCl, LiOH, and LiF) as well as a BAM candidate LiMNC cathode reference material. Achieved uncertainties are one order of magnitude higher than those obtained by MC-ICP-MS. This precision and accuracy is nonetheless sufficient to resolve natural occurring variations in Lithium isotope ratios. Also, the LiMNC material was analyzed by HR-CS-AAS with and without matrix purification. The results are comparable within statistical error.

The interphase is expecting to have different segmental dynamic, as compared to the pure matrix, which can percolate into the entire system. Here, the segmental dynamics of epoxy/Boehmite nanocomposite was studied by Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy. It was found that an artificial relaxation process is present in the nanocomposite, on the contrary to the pure epoxy system. It was assigned to constrained fluctuations of polymer chains in the interfacial region, due to the nanofiller. However, the overall dynamic Tg of the system decreased with increasing filler concentration, indicating higher segmental mobility. This was in accordance with Temperature Modulated DSC investigations of specific heat capacity of the system, which was found to increase with increasing filler concentration, up to 10 wt%, indicating increasing mobility of the polymer matrix segments. Surprisingly, for the highest filler content, the heat capacity decreases, implying a formation of an immobilized rigid amorphous phase in the interfacial region.

T1 - Development of a method for measuring the flexural rigidity of nanofibres N2 - Toxicological studies have shown that some types of carbon nanotubes may provoke asbestos-like effects including chronic inflammation and lung cancer. Inhaled carbon nanotubes may reach the deep lung tissue. Alveolar macrophages are responsible to remove such foreign objects from the alveoli in a process called phagocytosis. If a macrophage fails to uptake a nanotube completely, cell lesions may give rise to inflammation. It is currently assumed that short, flexible and long as well as granularly agglomerated (tangled) nanofibres are clearable by macrophages, whereas biodurable long and rigid nanotubes may persist in lung tissue. The flexural rigidity of nanofibres is therefore believed to be an important material property that governs fibre toxicity and needs to be investigated. The present work aims at determining the rigidity of nanofibres by detecting their resonance frequencies using a Dynamic Scanning Electron Microscope (DySEM) setup. By depositing and fixing a nanofibre to an oscillating support, it can be excited to vibrations and treated as a cantilevered beam. This way, its elastic modulus can be determined via Euler-Bernoulli’s beam theory. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were deposited on high frequency piezoelectric quartz crystals mounted on a scanning electron microscope (SEM) holder. When introduced into the SEM chamber and connected to a frequency-sweeping waveform generator, the quartz crystal actuates the deposited fibre. A lock-in amplified processes the secondary electron detector signal resulting from the electron beam modulated by the vibrating nanofibre. Whenever a fibre resonance is detected, the SEM image of the fibre is stored to identify the fibre oscillation mode. The found resonance frequencies and modes allow determining the elastic modulus accordingly. Since the frequency spacing of resonances is predicted by Euler-Bernoulli, the mode number can be identified and elastic modulus values be averaged. A significant number of individual MWCNTs were classified according to their level of rigidity. The applicability and reliability of the method will be discussed.

Concentration and surface modification of boehmite nanoparticles are key factors for abovementioned enhancements. To understand the underlying mechanisms, more detailed research of micro- and nanoscopic mechanical properties is required. The presented study aims to investigate the influence of concentration and surface modification of boehmite on the stiffness of the bulk epoxy by means of AFM-based approaches: Force-Distance curves (FDC) on the sub- microscale and Intermodulation AFM and amplitude-dependent force spectroscopy (ADFS) on the nanoscale. For this purpose, stiffness-maps of epoxy filled with boehmite, with and without surface modification (HAc-boehmite) were obtained by FDC. These measurements showed a slight increase in overall stiffness of composite with increasing the nanoparticle content. The stiffening effect was observed to be intensified with HAc-boehmite. Since the lateral resolution of FDC is not high enough to distinguish nanoparticles, this effect was assumed to be due to the inevitable inclusion of nanoparticles in the measurement. By using Intermodulation-AFM, yielding ADFS stiffness maps with the resolution of <10 nm, we were able to calculate the average stiffness of bulk epoxy without the interference of nanoparticles. It was expected that the stiffness of regions faraway from particles would be equal to neat epoxy. In contrast, the results showed a drastic increase in stiffness of epoxy with increasing boehmite concentration (0, 1, 2.5, and 15%) especially in case of introducing 15wt% HAc-boehmite. Another important observation was formation of a spatial structure with non-homogenous stiffness distribution in bulk epoxy with HAc-boehmite. The underlying mechanisms of described observations are not fully understood yet. One hypothesis is the local increase in crosslinking density which we aim to investigate in our further studies by combining Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA) and Intermodulation-AFM.

However, graphene implementation into the industrial market is still limited and many challenges are yet to be addressed before this material can become suitable for the large-scale production. One of the most crucial challenge to overcome is to develop reliable and reproducible ways to characterize the material properties which can heavily affect the product performance. In our study the chemical composition of nine different samples of industrial graphene, graphene oxide and functionalized graphene were investigated. The samples were analysed both in form of powder and pellets. A comparative characterisation of the chemical composition was performed through X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX). XPS depth resolution is in the order of 10 nm, while for EDX the analysis was performed at two different energy levels, i.e. 5 keV and 15 keV, and thus varying the analysis depth from 200 nm to 2000 nm. The XPS measurement area is 300x700 µm² while the EDX measurement was performed by analysing a grid of 25 locations (5x5) of 150 x 150 ?m2 area, covering the whole pellet surface of 5 mm diameter and then calculating the mean of the elemental concentration.

However, graphene implementation into the industrial market is still limited and many challenges are yet to be addressed before this material can become suitable for the large-scale production. One of the most crucial challenge to overcome is to develop reliable and reproducible ways to characterize the material properties which can heavily affect the product performance. In our study the chemical composition of nine different samples of industrial graphene, graphene oxide and functionalized graphene were investigated. The samples were analysed both in form of powder and pellets. A comparative characterisation of the chemical composition was performed through X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX). XPS depth resolution is in the order of 10 nm, while for EDX the analysis was performed at two different energy levels, i.e. 5 keV and 15 keV, and thus varying the analysis depth from 200 nm to 2000 nm. The XPS measurement area is 300x700 µm² while the EDX measurement was performed by analysing a grid of 25 locations (5x5) of 150 x 150 ?m2 area, covering the whole pellet surface of 5 mm diameter and then calculating the mean of the elemental concentration.

To apply them effectively during cancer therapy their influence on the locally delivered dose has to be determined.[1] Hereby, the AuNP locations strongly influence the energy deposit in the nucleus, mitochondria, membrane and the cytosol of the targeted cells. To estimate these effects, particle scattering simulations are applied. In general, different approaches for modeling the AuNP and their distribution within the cell are possible. In this work, two newly developed continuous and discrete-geometric models for simulations of AuNP in cells are presented. [2] These models are applicable to simulations of internal emitters and external radiation sources. Most of the current studies on AuNP focus on external beam therapy. In contrast, we apply the presented models in Monte-Carlo particle scattering simulations to characterize the energy deposit in cell organelles by radioactive 198AuNP. They emit beta and gamma rays and are therefore considered for applications with solid tumors. Differences in local dose enhancement between randomly distributed and nucleus targeted nanoparticles are compared.

These equations are strictly valid only at absolute zero temperature. To include temperature effects a stochastic version of the LL or LLG equation for a spin density of one per unit cell can be used instead. To apply the stochastic LL to micromagnetic simulations, where the spin density per unit cell is generally higher, a conversion regarding simulation cell size and temperature has to be established. Based on energetic considerations, a conversion for ferromagnetic bulk and thin film systems is proposed. The conversion is tested in micromagnetic simulations which are performed with the Object Oriented Micromagnetic Framework (OOMMF). The Curie temperatures of bulk Nickel, Cobalt and Iron systems as well as Nickel thin-film systems with thicknesses between 6.3 mono layer (ML) and 31ML are determined from micromagnetic simulations. The results show a good agreement with experimentally determined Curie temperatures of bulk and thin film systems when temperature scaling is performed according to the presented model.

Hierbei werden die Eigenschaften der Bauteile zu einem großen Teil durch die im Verlauf des Prozesses vorliegenden Temperaturen bestimmt. Dies beinhaltet unter anderem Materialeigenschaften wie Mikrostruktur, Härte, thermische und elektrische Leitfähigkeiten sowie die Ausbildung von Defekten wie z.B. Anbindungsfehler, Keyhole-Porosität (Gaseinschlüsse) oder auch die Ausbildung von Rissen. Zur Überwachung bzw. Vorhersage dieser Eigenschaften sowie zum Abgleich von Simulationen ist eine orts- und zeitaufgelöste Messung der Temperaturverteilung im Prozess daher von herausragender Bedeutung. In der Industrie kommen optische Verfahren, die auf der Messung der thermischen Strahlung basieren, regelmäßig zum Einsatz. Allerdings dienen diese bislang nur der statistischen Auswertung und der Identifikation von Abweichungen vom Normalprozess. Der quantitativen Auswertung zur Temperaturbestimmung stehen aktuell noch eine Vielzahl von Herausforderungen entgegen. Einerseits stellt der Prozess an sich hohe Anforderungen an die Datenerfassung und -auswertung: der Emissionsgrad verändert sich dynamisch im Prozess und lokale Schmauchbildung sorgt für potenzielle Absorption oder Streuung der thermischen Strahlung oder auch des Fertigungslasers. Weiterhin stellt der hochdynamische Prozess hohe Anforderungen an Orts- und Zeitauflösung der eingesetzten Sensorik (z.B. Kameratechnik). Andererseits erschweren an üblichen kommerziell erhältlichen Fertigungsanlagen praktische Hindernisse wie eine eingeschränkte optische Zugänglichkeit und der fehlende Zugriff auf die Anlagensteuerung sowie fehlende Möglichkeiten der Synchronisation der Messtechnik mit dem Prozess eine eingehende Untersuchung dieser Effekte. Um letztere Hindernisse zu umgehen, wurde an der BAM die Forschungsanlage SAMMIE (sensor-based additive manufacturing machine) entwickelt. Einerseits bietet das System alle Möglichkeiten, die auch übliche kommerzielle Systeme bieten. Dies beinhaltet die Fertigung ganzer Bauteile (maximale Größe ca. 65mm x 45 mm x 30 mm) und den Einsatz einer Inertgasatmosphäre inkl. gefiltertem Schutzgasstrom. Andererseits bietet es aber auch einen besonders kompakten Bauraum, um die Sensorik möglichst nah an den Prozess führen zu können, sechs optische Fenster zur Prozessbeobachtung aus unterschiedlichen Winkeln und die Möglichkeit der Prozessbeobachtung koaxial zum Fertigungslaser. Des Weiteren besteht eine einfache Austauschbarkeit aller Fenster, Spiegel und Strahlteiler, um den gesamten optischen Pfad der aktuellen Messaufgabe flexibel anzupassen. Die komplette Anlagensteuerung ist eine Eigenentwicklung und bietet daher auch völlige Anpassbarkeit. Eine synchrone und frei konfigurierbare Triggerung diverser Sensoriken und synchrone Datenerfassung bieten maximale Kontrolle über die Sensorsteuerung. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die Fertigungsanlage SAMMIE. Wissenschaftliche Ergebnisse sowie laufende Arbeiten an der Anlage werden in weiteren Beiträgen vorgestellt.

T1 - PBF-LB/M: Prozess Monitoring mittels Multispektraler OT N2 - Die metallische additive Fertigung hat in den letzten Jahren in der industriellen Fertigung zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Hierbei dominiert das Laser-Pulverbettschweißen von Metallen (PBF/LB-M) die Fertigung von kleinformatigen Bauteilen mit hoher Oberflächengüte. Die anspruchsvolle und kostspielige Qualitätssicherung stellt aber weiterhin ein Hindernis für eine breitere und kostengünstigere Anwendung der additiven Fertigung dar. Dies resultiert teilweise aus fehlenden zuverlässigen In-situ-Monitoringsystemen. Belastbarere Prozessüberwachungsdaten würden eine oft erforderliche teure nachgelagerte Prüfung mittels Computertomografie entbehrlich machen. Die Aufzeichnung der thermischen Signaturen des Aufbauprozess mittels Thermografie-Kameras zeigen hier vielversprechende Ergebnisse. Eine Korrelation zu auftretender Porosität, Delaminationen und Deformationen scheinen möglich. Die geringe räumliche Auflösung und die hohen Anschaffungskosten für thermografische Kamerasysteme stehen jedoch einer größeren industriellen Nutzung im Wege. Ein bereits industriell angewendeter Ansatz zur in-Situ Überwachung des PBF-LB/M Prozesses ist die Optische Tomografie (OT). Hierbei wird die emittierte Prozessstrahlung jeder Bauteilschicht mittels einer hochauflösenden günstigen Kamera für den sichtbaren Wellenlängenbereich in einer Langzeitbelichtung dokumentiert. Die zeitliche Information der emittierten Strahlung geht hierbei verloren. Der gesamte Bauprozess kann jedoch in einem vergleichsweise kleinen Datensatz dokumentiert werden (ein Bild pro Schicht). Eine direkte Korrelation zu auftretenden Defekten gestaltet sich aufgrund der reduzierten thermischen Informationsdichte jedoch schwierig. In diesem Beitrag soll deshalb das Prinzip der Multispektralen Optischen Tomografie (MOT) vorgestellt und erste Messergebnisse an der Forschungsanlage SAMMIE diskutiert werden. Bei der MOT handelt es sich um eine Übertragung des Prinzips der Quotientenpyrometrie auf das etablierte Verfahren der Optischen Tomografie. Die auftretende Prozessstrahlung wird in mehreren Wellenlängenbereichen ortsaufgelöst über die gesamte Bauplattform erfasst und zeitlich in einer Langzeitbelichtung integriert. Hierbei kommen günstige Kamerasysteme für den sichtbaren Wellenlängenbereich zum Einsatz. Das erfasste Signal I jedes Bildpixels für jeden separat erfassten Wellenlängenbereich kann als Maß für das zeitliche Integral der spezifischen Ausstrahlung M des Schmelzbades in diesem Wellenlängenbereich gesehen werden. Nach dem Stefan-Boltzmann-Gesetz hängt die abgestrahlte thermische Leistung P eines idealen Schwarzen Körpers in der vierten Potenz von dessen absoluten Temperatur T ab. Wird nur, wie z.B. bei der klassischen OT angewendet, der nahinfrarote Wellenlängenbereich betrachtet, lässt sich mit dem Planck’schen Strahlungsgesetz sogar eine Proportionalität zur siebten Potenz der Temperatur zeigen. Deshalb liegt ein starker Einfluss der maximal auftretenden Oberflächentemperatur Tmax auf das erfasste Messsignal vor. Das erfasste Signal I wird aber auch durch die spektrale Transmission τ der verwendeten optischen Komponenten des Kamera-Setups, z.B. Filter und Objektive, durch die spektrale Sensitivität S der verwendeten Kamera-Sensoren und den nur sehr schwer zu bestimmenden Emissionsgrad ε der emittierenden (flüssigen) Oberfläche beeinflusst. In einer ersten Näherung wird das Schmelzbad hier als Graukörper, also ein Körper mit wellenlängenunabhängigem Emissionsgrad ε, betrachtet. Basierend auf dieser Annahme und vermessenen optischen Eigenschaften des verwendeten Systems ist es möglich, eine erste Schätzung der maximalen Oberflächentemperatur Tmax vorzunehmen, selbst ohne genaue Kenntnis des tatsächlichen Emissionsgrades ε. Dies wird durch die Anwendung des Planck‘schen Strahlungsgesetzes und die Quotienten Bildung aus den einzelnen erfassten Signalen I ermöglicht. Auch bei diesem Verfahren geht die zeitliche Information einer Schicht, also das Aufwärm- und Abkühlverhalten des Schmelzbades, verloren. Zudem sind die Messergebnisse in Hinblick auf tatsächlich gemessene „maximal auftretende Oberflächentemperatur“ mit gebotener Zurückhaltung zu interpretieren. Trotzdem konnten erste Ergebnisse bereits zeigen, dass die MOT-Daten auch in Bereichen mit Doppelbelichtungen (das teilweise notwendige mehrfache Scannen eines Bereiches mittels des Fertigungslasers) im Gegensatz zur klassischen OT erwartbare Maximaltemperaturen liefern. Abbildung 1 zeigt das erfasste Messergebnis für drei aufeinanderfolgende Schichten eines Bauteils einmal mit MOT (links) und einmal mit einfacher OT (rechts). Deutlich zu erkennen ist das durch die doppelte Belichtung hohe Signal bei der OT. Die Daten der MOT zeigen hier keine erhöhten Werte. Um die ermittelten Temperaturwerte mittels MOT besser einordnen zu können, sind u.a. vergleichende Messungen an Referenzmaterialien geplant. Um die Auswertung der gemessenen Daten zu verbessern, wird zudem der Zeitverlauf des Abkühlens und Aufheizens des Schmelzbades sowie die Einflüsse von Prozessbeiprodukten wie Schmauch und Spritzer näher untersucht. Auch werden Messungen zum Emissionsgrad ε an additiv gefertigten Proben und Metallschmelzen vorgenommen.

For this purpose, temperature, humidity and air velocity were measured. Particles were sampled with different methods and analysed by scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy to determine their chemical composition.

T1 - Corundum as a novel affinity platform for the isolation of human IgG from plasma N2 - Nonporous corundum powder was functionalized covalently with protein binders to isolate and enrich specific proteins from complex matrices.The common crosslinker glutaraldehyde was compared with a hyperbranched polyglycerol (PG) of around 10 kDa. The latter was oxidized with periodate to generate aldehyde groups that can covalently react with the amines of the surface and the amino groups from the protein via a reductive amination process. The amount of bound protein was quantified via aromatic amino acid analysis (AAAA). As a proof of concept, IgG was extracted with protein A from crude human plasma. The advantages of corundum include the very low price, extremely high physical and chemical stability, pressure resistance, favorable binding kinetics, convenient handling, and flexible application.

This strong potential in a wide range of applications sparked the interest for a better understanding of the QD formation mechanisms. Recent studies have shown that atomically defined, zero-dimensional magic-size clusters (MSCs) play a crucial role during the nucleation and growth of QDs. Thereby MSCs consist of discrete numbers of ions leading to narrow size distributions and thus narrow absorption peaks, which evolve in discrete steps from one stable size to the next. The formation of MSCs was found in the synthesis of II-VI and III-V QDs but only limited synthesis approaches are available for the synthesis of MSCs in single-ensemble form without coexistence of other-size QDs. These MSCs can further self-assemble into two- and three-dimensional hybrid structures using organic ligands like diamines, leading to enhanced photoluminescence properties and catalytic activities. In this contribution, we present a synthesis strategy for the preparation of single-sized ZnSe MSCs. With a band gap of 2.7 eV and being an earth-abundant material, ZnSe QDs are interesting for light-emitting devices, blue-green lasers, photocatalysis, and fluorescence probes. In contrast to other studies, our approach is based on a one-pot heat-up synthesis and uses less toxic and dangerous zinc precursors (e.g. zinc stearate). Knowing that thiol-based ligands can alter the formation process of ZnSe QDs, we investigated the influence of 1-dodecanethiol on the ZnSe MSC formation using absorption spectroscopy, TEM, XPS, and XRD. By variation of the thiol ligand concentration and reaction temperature, we were able to synthesize two new ZnSe MSC sizes, the largest so far, by using easy-to-handle precursors.

T1 - High-pressure gas solubility in mixtures with one compound being an „alternative“ solvent N2 - The term „Alternative Solvents“ often refers to ionic liquids (ILs), mainly to distinguish these substances from traditional (i.e., molecular) solvents. In applications, any „alternative“ is required to perform better than something that is proven and tested. To bring ILs into practical use, availability and costs are the fundamental points to be addressed. There are two ways to proceed: ▬ tailoring a molecule, implanting the expected characteristics advantage: optimization of the targeted performance possible risks: outcome not always foreseeable, costly and time-intensive (“trial and error“) ▬ to target on mixtures of well-characterized ILs with molecular solvents advantage: substance characteristics are known, less costly, less time-consuming, mixture composition another tunable parameter risks: the same but with less impact For the basic engineering of technical processes, knowledge of phase equilibria, particularly of mixtures, over a broad (p,T) range is mandatory.

Cycloalyphatic-epoxy oligosiloxane (CEO) resin was shown to be a good candidate as a barrier material for the encapsulation purposes. Incorporation of inorganic nanoparticles such as Boehmite (BA) into polymers was observed to modify their specific characteristics, in particular, thermal, thermo-oxidative and barrier ones. In this work, novel BA-embedded organic inorganic hybrid nanocomposite material was engineered by combining the advantageous properties of hybrid polymers and nanoparticle enhancement effect. Impacts of particles on the photocuring kinetics, degree of crosslinking and the resultant changes in the thermal properties of the cured films were investigated. CEO synthesis via condensation reaction was confirmed by 1H and 29Si NMR. The particle distribution within the films was verified by SEM including transmission mode coupled with EDX elemental analysis. Photocuring kinetics and thermal properties of the films were studied by in situ FTIR spectroscopy and DSC with TGA, respectively.

Moreover, PDA exhibits high potential for surface modification and diversified secondary reactions that makes it extremely interesting for a wide range of application including biomedical field, e.g., drug delivery, adhesives, cell adhesion, biosensing. PDA has undergone significant expansion in its applications and is one of the most attractive areas within the materials field. Nevertheless, PDA integration in microdevices is still constrained by poor spatial and temporal control of excited deposition methods. Herein, we demonstrate a novel maskless approach for PDA micropatterning based on Direct Laser Writing (DLW) that overcomes present limitations. The pattern is formed upon exposure of the dopamine solution by light produced by tightly-focused fs NIR laser that scans substrate surface accordingly to the selected pattern design. Neither strong oxidants, metal ions nor adjusting pH to alkaline is required by this technique. Our method achieves the PDA micropatterns with the spatial resolution of 0.8 µm, at least an order of magnitude smaller than what is possible with other PDA microplanning techniques. The here introduced PDA deposition technique will uniquely unravel applications of polydopamine and other catecholamine-based mussel-inspired materials in various multifunctional systems and microdevices (e.g., MEMS elements, microfluidics). Adjustment of MPL parameters revealed that the morphology and thickness of resulted PDA microstructures can be controlled by altering the laser power and its scanning velocity. As a result, it also enables the production of micropatterns with structural gradient. Apart from the glass substrate, we achieved PDA patterning at surfaces of different nature such as polychlorotrifluoroethylene, polydimethylsiloxane, polyethylene terephthalate, silicon wafers, and fluorinated glass coverslips. The chemical nature of PDA was confirmed by locally recorded vibrational and x-ray photoelectron spectra. To ensure post-modification potential of MPL deposited PDA we demonstrated one-step deposition of micropatterns with trypsin. Obtained bio-functionalised surface can be further applied as a protein sensing active microelement. Presented in this work DLW-based microfabrication technique and the possibilities for further PDA surface post-functionalization empowers advanced applications of this material in single-molecule bioassays, sensors and other complex microdevices.

The chemical nature of PDA was confirmed by locally recorded vibrational and x-ray photoelectron spectra. Moreover, the morphology and thickness of PDA microstructure can be controlled by the laser power and scanning velocity revealing the possibility of fabricating the structures with gradient. In most of the applied conditions the increase of the laser intensity and decrease of the scanning velocity would lead to the thicker PDA pattern. Different morphologies from smooth and bulky-like to grain like has been obtained. PDA was produced in the presence of tris buffer, phosphate buffer and DI water only. We also tested the effect of the solution pH applying pH 6.0, 7.0 and 8.5. Furthermore, the effect of antioxidants and purging of the solution with oxygen and nitrogen was investigated. Summarizing, we could see that the structures could be produced in all the given conditions, however their thickness and quality, morphology and roughness would differ. We did not observe negative impact of the antioxidants and nitrogen purging on the performance of PDA build up indicating that the PDA formation mechanism is different to common autooxidation. The current mechanism is based on the interaction of dopamine molecules with the photoinitiator added to solution as active to DLW laser light component. Apart from the glass substrate, we achieved PDA patterning at surfaces of different nature such as polychlorotrifluoroethylene, polydimethylsiloxane, polyethylene terephthalate, silicon wafers, and fluorinated glass coverslips. We also performed facile posts-modification of the PDA surface with protein enzymes like trypsin that was confirmed by XPS. Obtained bioactive pattern could be further integrated in the protein sensing devices. Presented in this work DLW-based microfabrication technique and the possibilities for further PDA surface post-functionalization empowers advanced applications of this material in single-molecule bioassays, sensors and other complex microdevices.

The effectiveness of nanofillers on property enhancement of thermosetting polymers depends on many factors including the interaction between the functional groups of nanofillers and the polymer reactants. In the current work, we study the effect of boehmite nanoparticles (BNPs) on properties of anhydride-cured bisphenol-A-diglycidyl ether (DGEBA). Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and a high-resolution force measurement approach called intermodulation atomic force microscopy (ImAFM) were carried out to investigate the thermomechanical and nanomechanical properties of this material, respectively. It was found that BNPs lead to decrease of glass transition temperature (Tg) and crosslink density of the polymer network meanwhile significantly enhancing the Young’s modulus. Besides formation of a soft interphase near the particles, significant changes in local stiffness of polymer matrix far from the interphase was observed with ImAFM. Thus, boehmite induces long-range chemical alteration on the matrix. This effect has a higher impact on overall composite properties compared to the formation of interphase which is only a short-range effect. The local chemical evaluations on the soft interphase using an infrared-AFM method (NanoIR) revealed the accumulation of anhydride hardener near the boehmite interface. Based on these observations the effect of boehmite on the curing of epoxy is hypothesized to be governed by the strong interaction between boehmite and the anhydride. This interaction causes changes the ratio of reactants in the epoxy mixture and hence alteration of curing pathway and the network architecture. In future studies we examine this hypothesis by measuring the thermomechanical properties of cured epoxies in which the epoxy-hardener ratio is systematically altered and further comparing to those properties of nanocomposites shown in the current study.

The laser processing was carried out by a Ti:sapphire laser (pulse duration 30 fs, central wavelength 790 nm, pulse repetition rate 1 kHz) in a regime of generating laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS). The experimental conditions (laser fluence, spatial spot overlap) were optimized in a sample-scanning geometry for the processing of several square-millimetres large surface areas covered homogeneously by these nanostructures. The thermal processing in the oven was done at two different temperatures, while the electrochemical anodization was performed at room temperature, aiming to generate different polymorphs of titanium oxide at similar oxide layer thickness. The irradiated surface regions were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy, and micro Raman spectroscopy. The tribological performance of the differently treated titanium surfaces was characterized in the regime of mixed friction by reciprocating sliding tests against a sphere of hardened steel in un-additivated paraffin oil and fully formulated engine oil as lubricants. The specific tribological performance of the differently treated surfaces is discussed on the basis of possible physical and chemical mechanisms.

T1 - Combined cell and nanoparticle models for TOPAS to study radiation dose enhancement by Monte-Carlo based particle scattering Simulations N2 - Dose enhancement by gold nanoparticles (AuNP) increases the biological effectiveness of radiation damage in biomolecules and tissue. To apply them effectively during cancer therapy their influence on the locally delivered dose has to be determined.[1] Hereby, the AuNP locations strongly influence the energy deposit in the nucleus, mitochondria, membrane and the cytosol of the targeted cells. To estimate these effects, particle scattering simulations are applied. In general, different approaches for modeling the AuNP and their distribution within the cell are possible. In this work, two newly developed continuous and discrete-geometric models for simulations of AuNP in cells are presented. [2] These models are applicable to simulations of internal emitters and external radiation sources. Most of the current studies on AuNP focus on external beam therapy. In contrast, we apply the presented models in Monte-Carlo particle scattering simulations to characterize the energy deposit in cell organelles by radioactive 198AuNP. They emit beta and gamma rays and are therefore considered for applications with solid tumors. Differences in local dose enhancement between randomly distributed and nucleus targeted nanoparticles are compared. Hereby nucleus targeted nanoparticels showed a strong local dose enhancement in the radio sensitive nucleus. These results are the foundation for ongoing experimental work which aims to obtain a mechanistic understanding of cell death induced by radioactive 198Au.

NP function, performance, interaction with biological species, and environmental fate are largely determined by their surface functionalities. Standardized repeatable surface characterization methods are therefore vital for quality control of NPs, and to meet increasing concerns regarding their safety. Therefore, industry, regulatory agencies, and policymakers need validated traceable measurement methods and reference materials. This calls for fit-for-purpose, validated, and standardized methods, and reference data and materials on the surface chemistry of engineered NPs. Here, we present a concept for the development of such standardized measurement protocols utilizing method cross-validation and interlaboratory comparisons (ILCs) with emphasis on both advanced measurement methods such as quantitative Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (qNMR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and cost-efficient, non-surface specific methods like optical assays and electrochemical titration methods.

T1 - A new robot-assisted compositional screening method N2 - The system Na2O.B2O3-SiO2 (NBS) is the basis of many industrial glass applications and therefore one of the most studied systems at all. Glass formation is possible over a wide compositional range, but the system also contains ranges of pronounced phase separation and crystallization tendency. Despite its importance, experimental data are limited to few compositional areas. The general understanding and modelling of glass formation, phase separation, and crystallization in this system would therefore be easier if small step melt series could be studied. The efficient melting of such glass series is now possible with the new robotic glass melting system at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM, Division Glasses). Using three exemplary joins within this NBS system, the small step changes of glass transition temperature (Tg), crystallization behavior as well as glass density (Roh) was studied. Additionally, experimental Tg and Roh data were compared with their modeled counterparts using SciGlass and a newly developed DFT model, respectively.

Invariant and variant knowledge are difficult to align cross-domain. Generic top-level semantic terminology often is too abstract, while MSE domain terminology often is too specific. This poster presents an approach to create and maintain a comprehensive and intuitive MSE-centric terminology by developing a mid-level ontology–the PMD core ontology (PMDco)–via MSE community-based curation procedures. The PMDco is designed in direct support of the FAIR principles to address immediate needs of the global experts community and their requirements. The illustrated findings show how the PMDco bridges semantic gaps between high-level, MSE-specific, and other science domain semantics, how the PMDco lowers development and integration thresholds, and how to fuel it from real-world data sources ranging from manually conducted experiments and simulations as well as continuously automated industrial applications.

One key finding is particularly noteworthy: in significant contrast to cold-rolled 316L, FFF316L develops a pronounced martensite phase after fabrication. The comprehensive comparative analysis shows that FFF316L not only retains the ferrite volume content, but that this is also significantly influenced by the build-up direction. Despite the sintering process, which typically involves densification of the material, a pore volume fraction of 8.45 % remains, which influences the mechanical properties. Although FFF316L has lower elastic modulus and tensile strength values compared to cold-rolled 316L, its ductility is still competitive. The study further reveals that deformation-induced martensite forms at the intersections of the deformation twins and ferrite islands form at the grain boundaries during the compression and sintering phases. These findings highlight the challenges associated with FFF316L in specific application fields and signal the need to continue to carefully evaluate and improve the development of manufacturing technologies.

However, the complexity of the manufacturing process poses a challenge to produce defect-free parts with a high reliability. Since process dynamics and resulting microstructures of AM parts are strongly influenced by the involved temperature fields and cooling rates, thermography is a valuable tool for process monitoring. Another approach to monitor the energy input into the part during process is the use of optical tomography. Common visual camera systems reach much higher spatial resolution than infrared thermography cameras, whereas infrared thermography provides a much higher temperature dynamic. Therefore, the combined application increases the depth of information. Here, we present first measurement results using a laser beam melting setup that allows simultaneous acquisition of thermography and optical tomography from the same point of view using a beam splitter. A high-resolution CMOS camera operating in the visible spectral range is equipped with a near infrared bandpass filter and images of the build plate are recorded with long-term exposure during the whole layer exposing time. Thus, areas that reach higher maximum temperature or are at elevated temperature for an extended period of time appear brighter in the images. The used thermography camera is sensitive to the mid wavelength infrared range and records thermal videos of each layer exposure at an acquisition rate close to 1 kHz. As a next step, we will use computer tomographic data of the built part as a reference for defect detection. This research was funded by BAM within the focus area Materials.

Especially the hot stamping process that is used as a resource efficient process for manufacturing geometrical complex and high-strength structures, exhibits severe wear and high friction during the forming operation. The laser implantation process addresses this problem by combining two different approaches (surface modification and surface structuring) in surface technology by creating elevated, highly wear-resistant micro-features to influence the tribological performance. Pure TiB2 implants have shown to reduce tool-sided wear significally and improve the part formability by reducing local necking in deep drawing tests. Within the scope of this work, TiB2-TiC and TiB2-TaC hard material mixtures are implanted on X38CrMoV5-3 hot work tool steel. The aim is to investigate how the implant material properties can be influenced by the application of different mixing ratios of hard material mixtures under the specific variation of the process parameters. Distinct implant formations are tested on a novel test apparatus to examine the influence on the tribological properties. From the analyses of the implant properties by hardness measurements, light microscopic images, EDX and XRD analyses process parameter ranges are identified to produce defect-free dome- and ring-shaped implants. The specific process parameters (pulse power, pulse duration, mixing ratio and coating thickness) can be used for the determination of the implant geometry (height, width and depth). The tribological tests exhibit improved friction and wear properties. Based on these results, a tribosystem manufactured by this additive surface treatment technology shows great potential to enhance the effectiveness of the hot stamping process.

T1 - Tribological performance of localized dispersed X38CrMoV5-3 surfaces for hot stamping of Al-Si coated 22MnB5 sheets N2 - Over the last years, the weight of modern car bodies has risen significantly due to the increasing customers’ demand for comfort and safety equipment. However, this ongoing trend leads to an increasing fuel consumption and thus to higher carbon dioxide emissions. In order to counteract these problems, hot stamping has been established in the automotive industry as a key technology for lightweight construction, regarding the manufacturing of safety-relevant car body components. Hot stamped parts are commonly made out of boron-manganese steel 22MnB5, which is initially austenized and subsequently formed and quenched in one process step. As a result, geometrical complex structures with an ultimate tensile strength of 1500 MPa are generated. The surfaces of the workpieces are coated with an Al-Si layer to avoid oxide scale formation and to ensure corro-sion protection. However, the coating system leads to an increased adhesive wear on the tool sur-face due to the high thermo-mechanical tool stresses. Therefore, a time and cost consuming rework of the hot stamping tools is required. The aim of this study is to increase the tribological perfor-mance of hot stamping tools by using a laser implantation process. This technique allows the ma-nufacturing of separated, elevated and dome-shaped microstructures on the tool surface in conse-quence of a localized dispersing of hard ceramic particles by pulsed laser radiation. The generated surface features offer great potential for reducing the tribological load, due to their high hardness and wear resistance. For this purpose, the friction coefficient of unmodified and laser implanted tool surfaces were examined and compared by using a modified pin-on-disk test. In addition, the surfaces were analyzed by optical measurements in order to quantify the amount of wear.

Powder bed fusion of metals by laser beam (PBF-LB/M) combines the freedom in design with high achievable accuracy, making it ideal as a repair approach. However, there are still challenges in adapting process for repair applications. When mounting parts inside PBF-LB/M machines, their real position within the build volume is unknown. One goal of a repair process is to minimize the offset between the base component and the additively manufactured structure to reduce additional rework. For a minimum offset between component and additively manufactured structure, the actual position of the component has to be identified with high precision within the machine coordinate system (MCS). In this work a process setup is presented that allows the actual position of a gas turbine blade to be detected inside a PBF-LB/M machine. A high resolution camera with 65 megapixel is used for this purpose. The presented setup is implemented on a SLM 280 HL PBF-LB/M machine. In addition to the setup, a novel repair workflow using PBF-LB/M is presented. The developed setup and workflow consider inaccuracies in the component and camera mounting, as well as process inaccuracies. This includes keystone distortion correction by homography. The machine setup and workflow are used to repair a real gas turbine blade. Subsequently the offset between the turbine blade and the additivley manufactured structure is validated by 3D scanning the repaired part. The maximum offset is 160 µm. The presented approach can be extended to other geometries and PBF-LB/M machine manufacturers. The high-resolution camera approach is platform independent, which facilates the market penetration of PBF-LB/M repair processes.

T1 - A Round Robin Test To Investigate The Printing Quality Of PBF LB/M Processed AlSi10Mg N2 - When it comes to higher accuracies, new technologies and real applications in additive manufacturing, there is one topic which cannot be avoided: The material response on the chosen processing parameters and its agreement and correspondence with literature data of the wrought material grade counterpart. In industrial Additive Manufacturing (AM) standards in terms of printing parameters, protection gas atmospheres or powder handling instructions are not obligatory. Therefore, the question must be answered whether the AM process is reproducible and reliable over different printing companies. This was the motivation to realize a round robin test between 8 European printing companies and academic partners. The consortium had printed and tested fatigue and tensile testing bars under plant-specific conditions. A commonly used cast aluminum alloy, AlSi10Mg, was chosen as test material for the PBF-LB/M process. Differences of the results between the partners and the scatter itself were discussed in detail.

A1 - Klassen, T. T1 - Structural integrity of cold spray repaired aerospace components N2 - Components in aircrafts are usually replaced when critical defects are present. An alternative approach is repairing using gas dynamic cold spraying: metal particles are shot at a surface at supersonic speeds to selectively rebuild damaged material. Compared to other material-deposition techniques, its advantage is the small thermal impact on the component, preserving its mechanical properties. Component-repair can save considerable amounts of energy and resources. However, its industrial application at large scale needs reproducible, good repair-material properties to guarantee a safe component life. The aim of this project is the development of safe, automatized repair-procedures considering the mechanical fatigue properties of the repair.

This study examined the influence of heat accumulation on the distribution of residual stress in two prisms produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) of austenitic stainless steel 316L. The layers of the prisms were exposed using two different border fill scan strategies: one scanned from the centre to the perimeter and the other from the perimeter to the centre. The goal was to reveal the effect of different heat inputs on samples featuring the same solidification shrinkage. Residual stress was characterised in one plane perpendicular to the building direction at the mid height using Neutron and Lab X-ray diffraction. Thermography data obtained during the build process were analysed in order to correlate the cooling rates and apparent surface temperatures with the residual stress results. Optical microscopy and micro computed tomography were used to correlate defect populations with the residual stress distribution. The two scanning strategies led to residual stress distributions that were typical for additively manufactured components: compressive stresses in the bulk and tensile stresses at the surface. However, due to the different heat accumulation, the maximum residual stress levels differed. We concluded that solidification shrinkage plays a major role in determining the shape of the residual stress distribution, while the temperature gradient mechanism appears to determine the magnitude of peak residual stresses.

Our first experiments show that online monitoring using thermography and optical tomography cameras are able to detect defects in the built part. But further research is needed to understand root cause of the correlation.

The aim of this work was to determine the influence of the temperature gradient. Diffraction results show a similar pattern for both specimens, indicating the shrinkage to be more dominant for the distribution of residual stresses than the temperature gradient. Thermography results imply that a higher energy input result in higher compressive residual stresses in the bulk.
