TY - THES A1 - Schempp, Philipp T1 - Grain refinement in aluminium GTA welds N2 - Grain refinement is an important opportunity to improve mechanical properties of fusion welds and the weldability (cracking sensitivity) of the base metal. In this thesis, grain refinement was achieved for aluminium welds by additions of a grain refiner. For this purpose, inserts consisting of aluminium base metal and small additions of commercial Al Ti5B1 grain refiner were cast, deposited in base metal plates, and fused in a gas tungsten arc (GTA) welding process. As a result, higher grain refiner additions increased the weld’s titanium and boron content resulting in a significant decrease in the weld metal mean grain size up to 86%. This grain size reduction led to a transition from predominantly columnar to equiaxed grain shape (columnar to equiaxed transition CET). The grain refinement was thereby found to be strongly dependent upon the base metal chemical composition. Accordingly, the grain refining efficiency was the highest in commercial pure Al (Alloy 1050A, Al 99.5), followed by Alloy 6082 (Al Si1MgMn) and Alloy 5083 (Al Mg4.5Mn0.7). In this regard, the parameters P and Q were applied to investigate the influence of alloying elements on the supply of constitutional undercooling during solidification and on final grain size. Also, WDS (wavelength dispersive x-ray spectroscopy) and TEM (transmission electron microscopy) analysis found an increasing number of particles rich in Ti and B. These substrates are probably TiB2 particles coated by Al3Ti likely nucleating Al grains during solidification. The variation in torch speed showed that increasing torch speeds support the CET effect leading to many small and equiaxed grains at high torch speed. To give explanations for this observation, the thermal conditions, that are controlled by welding parameters such as torch speed, were determined with temperature measurements via thermocouples. These measurements revealed that solidification parameters like solidification growth rate, cooling rate, (local) thermal gradient and solidification time vary significantly along the solidification front (from weld centreline to weld fusion line). In a further step, the solidification parameters were related to the corresponding grain size and shape. On the basis of this comparison, an analytical approach was used to model the CET. This allowed the prediction of critical values for both solidification growth rate and thermal gradient, at which the CET occurs in aluminium weld metal. The influence of grain refinement on the weld mechanical properties was investigated in tensile tests. Accordingly, the ductility of Alloy 5083 welds was increased through grain refinement whereas no improvement in weld metal strength was observed. Furthermore, tear tests with notched specimens revealed for Alloy 1050A that the resistance against initiation and propagation of cracks in the weld metal can be enhanced through grain refinement. In addition, when welding Alloy 6082, weld metal grain refinement prevented the formation of centreline solidification cracking that was present only in welds with unrefined grain structure. On the basis of the above experiments, the Ti/B contents needed in commercial filler wires or rods to allow optimum weld metal grain refinement were estimated. Accordingly, this work gives specific recommendations to filler material producers through a simple calculation that considers the influence of base alloy and welding process. The results show that the Ti/B contents defined by the corresponding standards for filler alloys are too low to allow weld metal grain refinement.

Analytical solutions are exact solutions of differential equations; the investigated physical phenomena, for instance the temperature, are solved locally for one single point independently of the rest of the investigated structure resulting in extremely short computational times. These analytical solutions are however only valid for some simple geometries and boundary conditions making their applications for complex industrial geometries directly not possible. Numerical techniques, such as the Finite Element Method, enable overcoming this problem. However, the numerical simulation of the structural heat effect of welding for complex and large assemblies requires high computational effort and time. Therefore, the wide application of welding simulation in industry is not established, yet. The aim of this study is to combine the advantages of analytical and numerical simulation methods to accelerate the calibration of the thermal model of structure welding simulation. This is done firstly by calibrating automatically the simulation model with a fast analytical temperature field solution and secondly by solving the welding simulation problem numerically with the analytically calibrated input parameters. In order to achieve this goal, the analytical solution of the heat conduction problem for a point source moving in an infinite solid was extended and validated against reference models until a solution for a volumetric heat source moving on a thin small sheet with several arbitrary curved welding paths was found. The potential of this analytical solution by means of computational time was subsequently demonstrated on a semi-industrial geometry with large dimensions and several curved welds. The combined method was then transferred to an industrial assembly welded with four parallel welds. For this joint geometry, it was possible to apply the extended analytical solution. The calibration of the simulation model was done automatically against experimental data by combining the extended fast analytical solution with a global optimisation algorithm. For this calibration, more than 3000 direct simulations were required which run in less computational time than one corresponding single numerical simulation. The results of the numerical simulation executed with the analytically calibrated input parameters matched the experimental data within a scatter band of ± 10 %. The limit of the combined method is shown for an industrial assembly welded with eight overlap welds. For this joint geometry, a conventional numerical approach was applied, since no analytical solution was actually available. The final simulation results matched the experimental data within a scatter band of ± 10 %. The results of this work provide a comprehensive method to accelerate the calibration of the thermal model of the structure welding simulation of complex and large welded assemblies, even though within limitation. In the future, the implementation of this method in a welding simulation tool accessible to a typical industrial user still has to be done.

Die Mikrorissschädigung wird mittels Röntgenrefraktionsanalyse für verschiedene mechanische Betriebsbelastungen untersucht. Dabei werden Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Röntgenrefraktionsanalyse für kurzglasfaserverstärkte Polyamide herausgearbeitet. Insbesondere werden der Einfluss der Faserorientierungsverteilung und der Einfluss der Schädigungsmechanismen auf die Röntgenrefraktionsanalyse und deren Ergebnisinterpretation betrachtet. Die Methode ermöglicht eine quantitative und phänomenologisch basierte Mikrorissschädigungscharakterisierung. Für den untersuchten Werkstoff tritt Mikrorissschädigung in Form von Faser-Matrix-Ablösung und Matrixrissbildung auf. Die Schädigungshöhe korreliert linear mit dem nichtlinear elastischen Dehnungsanteil und ist abhängig von der Art der Betriebsbelastung. Eine Feuchtigkeitsaufnahme des Werkstoffs kann das Mikrorissschädigungsverhalten deutlich beeinflussen. Die Schädigung durch Mikrorissbildung tritt vorrangig unter Zugbelastungen auf. Die Makroschädigung durch Einzelrissfortschritt wird in Abhängigkeit der Faserorientierung und des Feuchtegehalts in einem automatisierten Versuch charakterisiert. Aufgrund der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse wird ein empirisches Berechnungsmodell erstellt. Die Untersuchungen des Mikro- und Makroschädigungsverhaltens werden fraktografisch begleitet, um die in den Modellvorstellungen vorausgesetzten Schädigungs- und Versagensmechanismen abzusichern. N2 - This thesis presents an analysis of the damage behaviour in a short glass fibre reinforced polyamide. The micro cracking is investigated by X-ray refraction technique under various, mechanical in-service loadings. In this context, potentials and limits of X-ray refraction analysis for short glass fibre reinforced polyamides are compiled. In particular the influence of fibre orientation and the influence of damage mechanisms are examined according to the X-ray refraction analysis and its interpretation. The method offers a quantitative and phenomenological based characterisation of micro crack damage. For the investigated material micro crack damage emerges as fibre matrix debonding and matrix micro cracking. The state of damage correlates with a nonlinear strain portion in a linear manner and depends on the kind of loading. Absorption of moisture in the material may influence significantly the micro crack damage behaviour. Damage of micro cracking appears preferentially under tension. The macro damage due to propagation of a single crack is characterised in an automated test setup, considering the fibre orientation and content of moisture. Based on the findings an empirical assessment approach is developed. The investigations of the micro and macro damage behaviour are accompanied by fractography, in order to support the model assumptions according to damage and fracture mechanisms.

These high demands require the implementation of new technical approaches, for example of light-weight strategies in automotive powertrains, and directly raise questions about the suitability of the most promising technical solution. Two basic parameters, the surface hardness of the tooth flanks and the core fatigue strength of the tooth root, illustrate exemplarily increasing demands on material grades used for gear wheels in automotive powertrains. In addition to light-weight strategies, a reduction in friction and an increase of the fatigue lifetime are two other major development directions to strive the mentioned targets. It is clear that any kind of solution must show an equal application profile, preferably an improvement, compared to the state-of- the-art solutions. For tribological systems, the following paths may offer lower friction and higher load carrying capabilities: 1. Alternative base oils and additives (such as esters, polyglycols), 2. Thin film coatings (e.g. DLC) and/or 3. Novel steel metallurgies. In previous investigations on the slip-rolling resistance of thin film coatings (a-C, ta-C, Zr(C,N)) the substrates were mainly made of the bearing steels 100Cr6H and Cronidur 30. Applying contact pressures of up to P0max = 2.9 GPa (FN = 2,000 N), the samples were tested up to 10 million load cycles in endurance tests. The aim of the present work is to broaden the research by varying the input parameters. Newly developed engine oil mixtures, high performance thin film coatings and alternative steel solutions are intensively investigated in highly stressed slip-rolling contacts at lubricant temperatures of 120°C. Specifically, in using new steel metallurgies, i.e. the high toughness and high strength steels V300 and NC310YW (Aubert & Duval) as well as CSS-42L (Latrobe Specialty Steel Company), in combination with thin film coatings, even if they compete in the uncoated state, the Hertzian contact pressures could be increased up to P0max = 4.2 GPa (FN = 5,000 N) without any surface failures of coating or substrate. It was shown that selected thin film coatings can minimize the wear rates down to nearly ‘zero-wear’ in highly stressed contacts [Woy08] [Woy11]. In addition, the studies revealed not only the high potential in slip-rolling resistance, but also a possible friction reduction down to 0.047 by use of uncoated steels with increased toughness. Compared to steels like 100Cr6H and Cronidur 30 this means a reduction in friction of approximately 40% under identical testing conditions. Different test series with newly developed base oil-additive formulations were investigated with specific emphasis on the frictional behavior of selected bio-no-tox EP/AW additives and friction modifiers. Additional influencing factors like the structural and surface conditions of the steels/coatings before and after the tests were analyzed by means of REM, EDX, XRD and TEM.

Als Folge weisen Nanopartikel (NP) eine starke Wechselwirkung mit biologischen Systemen auf, wodurch diese in den letzten Jahren zunehmend in der biomedizinischen Forschung Anwendung fanden. Aufgrund der relativ geringen Toxizität sowie der Möglichkeit zur Einführung unterschiedlicher funktioneller Gruppen eignen sich besonders auf Siliziumdioxid (Silica)basierende Nanopartikel für biomedizinische Studien. Der Schwerpunkt dieser Doktorarbeit lag in der Synthese und Charakterisierung von neuartigen Hybrid-NP mit verbesserten Eigenschaften für biologische Studien. Insbesondere soll eine Unterdrückung der Proteinadsorption erlangt werden sowie stark fluoreszierende NP in Gegenwart serumreicher Medien erhalten werden. Zu Beginn wird der Syntheseweg zur Darstellung hoch fluoreszierender Silica-Nanopartikel präsentiert, durch kovalente Anbindung des Alexa Farbstoffs und nachfolgender Ummantelung durch eine zusätzliche Silicahülle. Diese Nanopartikel wurden mittels dynamischen Lichtstreuung (DLS), Transmissionselektronenmikroskopie (TEM) und Fluoreszenzspektroskopie untersucht. Letztgenannte Methode beinhaltet die Bestimmung der absoluten Quantenausbeute solcher streuenden Suspensionen mit einer integrierenden Kugelkonfiguration sowie die Zuordnung von Helligkeitswerten. Bei geringer Ausdehnung der Hülle zeigen Silica NP mit Kern-Schale Architektur eine glatte Oberfläche und hohe Quantenausbeuten, in Größenordnung der freien Farbstoffe. Eine Erhöhung der Menge an Hüllen-Precusor führt zu einer himbeerartigen Morphologie der Oberfläche und einer Verminderung der Quantenausbeute. Es folgt die Darstellung zweier unterschiedlicher Typen neuartiger Silica- Polyethylenglykolhybride NP (H-SiO2-PEG und G-SiO2@PEG) unter Verwendung desselben polymerprecursors oder desselben polymerprecursors: Der Einfluss der Konzentration des polymerpreursors Poly(ethylen glykol) methylether-3-(triethoxysilyl) propylurethan (mPEG- IPTES) auf die Partikeleigenschaften wurde ausführlich untersucht. Bei polymergepfropften NP bestimmt die Konzentration des polymer precursors die Dichte des angekoppelten PEGs und folglich die Hydrophobieder NP Oberfläche. Dagegen beeinflusst bei kondensierten NP der precursor die Partikelgröße, aber nicht die Dichte der Polymerketten auf der Oberfläche. Abschließend wird der Einfluss der Polymerlänge auf die Verminderung der BSA Adsorption beschrieben. SNPs@PEG mit verschiedenen Molekulargewichten des mPEG (Mw = 350, 2000 und 5000 g/mol) wurden an die NP Oberfläche durch nucleophile Substitution von tosyliertem mPEG an aminierte Silica NP kovalent angebunden (hemisches Pfropfen). Die resultierenden Hybrid-NP wurden einheitlich mittels DLS, TEM, Fourier- Transformations-Infrarotspektroskopie (FTIR), thermogravimetrischer Analyse (TGA)und Photoelektronenspektroskopie (PES) charakterisiert. Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) wurde in verschiedenen Konzentrationen als Modellprotein verwendet, um die Ausbildung der protein corona durch Adsorption an ursprünglichen sowie an modifizierten NP oder modifizierten NPs(SNPs@PEG) zu untersuchen. Das Zeta-Potenzial der ursprünglichen Silica NP sowie SNPs@PEG (Mw = 350 g/mol) zeigen eine dynamische Entwicklung der Nanopartikel- protein coronain Abhängigkeit von der Inkubationsdauer (0, 24, 48 h). Im Gegensatz hierzu konnte bei SNPs@PEG mit Mw 2000 g/mol eine signifikante Minderung der Ausbildung der protein corona sowie der zeitlichen Entwicklung beobachtet werden. Insgesamt wird die protein corona stark von den adsorptionshindernden Eigenschaften des PEGs beeinflusst. N2 - The reduced size of nanoparticles (diameter < 100 nm) confers them high specific surface areas and permeability through many biological pathways resulting in high interaction with biological systems. Therefore, in the recent years, nanoparticles (NPs) have increasingly found many applications in biomedical research. Herein, silica-based NPs are among the most promising candidates for biomedical studies due to their relative low toxicity and the possibility of functional variability. The main focus of this thesis work has been the synthesis and characterisation of novel hybrid NPs with enhanced properties for biomedical studies. More specifically, suppression of protein adsorption and achievement of highly fluorescent NPs in serum-rich media are well focused. First, a chemical strategy for the preparation of highly fluorescent silica nanoparticles by covalent attachment of Alexa dyes and subsequent shielding by an additional pure silica shell is well presented. These nanoparticles were investigated by Dynamic light scattering (DLS), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and fluorescence spectroscopy, the latter includes determination of absolute fluorescence quantum yields of such scattering suspensions with an integrating sphere setup and the assignment of fluorescence intensity values. At low shelling extension core-shell fluorescent silica nanoparticles show smooth surfaces and high quantum yields, even comparable to those for free dyes. However, by increasing the amount of shell precursor, nanoparticle surfaces show raspberry morphologies and decay of the quantum yields. Secondly, two different types of novel silica-poly(ethylene glycol) hybrid nanoparticles (H- SiO2-PEG and G- SiO2@PEG) have been synthesized by use of the same polymer precursor: Here the influence of concentration of the polymer precursor poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether-3-(triethoxysilyl) propyl urethane (mPEG-IPTES) on the particle properties was scrutinised. For polymer grafted NPs, the concentration of polymer precursor increases the PEG density and the hydrophobicity of the NPs surface. On the other hand, for condensated NPs, the polymer precursor influences the size, but not the density of polymer chains on the NPs surface, which indicates that PEG on the surface of the NPs effectively reduces the adsorption of Bovine serum albumin (BSA). Finally, the influence of polymer length on the ability to repel BSA adsorption onto nanoparticles is reported. SNPs@PEG with different molecular weights (mPEG: 350, 2000 and 5000 g/mol) were synthesized by nucleophilic substitution of tosylated mPEG to aminated silica nanoparticles (chemical grafting). The resulted hybrid nanoparticles were consistently characterized by DLS, TEM, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). BSA at different concentrations were used as a model protein to study the protein-corona formation after adsorption onto the pristine and modified nanoparticles (SNPs@PEG). For pristine SNPs and SNPs@PEG (MW = 350 g/mol), zeta potential at different incubation times (0, 24 and 48 h) show a dynamic evolution of the nanoparticle-protein corona. Conversely, for SNPs@PEG with MW ≥ 2000 g/mol, a significant suppression of corona formation and time evolution was observed. In resume, protein corona is strongly influenced by the adsorption inhibition of PEG surfaces.

A1 - Schartel, Bernhard T1 - Flame retardancy of starch-based biocomposites - aluminium hydroxide-coconut fiber synergy N2 - The use of coconut fiber (CF) agricultural waste was considered as an environmentally friendly and inexpensive alternative in flame retarded biocomposites. To decrease the high content of aluminum trihydrate (ATH) required, the thermal decomposition (thermogravimetry), flammability [oxygen index (LOI) and UL 94 test] and fire behavior (cone calorimeter) of a combination of CF and ATH were investigated in a commercial blend of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and cellulose derivatives. CF induced some charring activity, slightly decreasing the fire load and burning propensity in cone calorimeter test. ATH decomposes endothermically into water and inorganic residue. Significant fuel dilution as well as a pronounced residual protection layer reduces the fire hazards. Replacing a part of ATH with coconut fibers resulted in improved flame retardancy in terms of ignition, reaction to small flame, and flame-spread characteristics [heat release rate (HRR), fire growth rate (FIGRA), etc.]. The observed ATH and CF synergy opens the door to significant reduction of the ATH contents and thus to interesting flame retarded biocomposites.

The pyrolysis, flammability, fire properties, flame spread and gas diffusion were investigated. The kind and amount of ATH, but in particular the fine silicon dioxide chosen as an additive, influenced the thermal decomposition and fire behaviour of styrene butadiene rubber composites. Gravimetric gas sorption measurements showed that the gas diffusion was systematically lower with silicon dioxide. The initial pyrolysis gas release was hindered, increasing the temperature at which decomposition begins as well as the ignition time in fire tests. During combustion, ATH and silicon dioxide accumulate on the surface of the specimen, forming a residual protective layer. A reduced peak heat release rate and fire spread were observed. The addition of a special kind of silicon dioxide is proposed to play a key role in optimising fire retardancy.

A1 - Herbst, Tristan T1 - Stoffkreislauf im Mauerwerksbau - Nachhaltigkeitsanalyse für das Mauerwerksrecycling / Schlussbericht zum IGF-Vorhaben 17022 N N2 - In Deutschland fallen mittelfristig erhebliche Mengen von Mauerwerkbruch an. Aus dem jährlichen Bauschuttanfall und den Produktionszahlen von Wandbausteinen lassen sich die Mengen an Mauerwerksrestmassen ableiten, die als Rückbaumaterial bei Abriss-, Umbau und Sanierungsarbeiten in Deutschland anfallen werden. Hiernach ist pro Jahr mit bis zu 10 Millionen Tonnen heute vornehmlich heterogen anfallendem Mauerwerkbruch zu rechnen [1a]. Im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Kreislaufwirtschaft sind diese Restmassen zukünftig einem möglichst hochwertigen Recycling zuzuführen. In diesem Spannungsfeld führt die deutsche Mauersteinindustrie das breit aufgestellte gemeinschaftliche Forschungsprojekt "SIM Stoffkreislauf im Mauerwerksbau" durch. In insgesamt acht mauersteinübergreifenden IGFForschungsvorhaben wurden und werden technisch orientierte Lösungsmöglichkeiten für das Recycling von Mauerwerk erarbeitet und Anwendungsbereiche für Mauerwerksrestmassen aufgezeigt. Eine grundsätzliche Entscheidung über die Eignung von Mauerwerksrestmassen für bestimmte Recyclingwege kann es letztlich nicht geben. Es wird immer eine Einzelfallentscheidung bleiben, die wesentlich durch komplexe technische sowie ökologische und ökonomische Randbedingungen geprägt wird. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurde im Rahmen des IGF-Forschungsvorhabens 17022 N der Forschungsvereinigung Porenbetonindustrie e.V., Berlin die Nachhaltigkeit verschiedener Recyclingoptionen für Mauerwerkbruch ganzheitlich untersucht und bewertet. Unter Einbeziehung der Hauptwandbausteinarten Ziegel, Kalksandstein, Porenbeton und Leichtbeton wurden dabei material- und verfahrenstechnische sowie ökologische, ökonomische und soziale Aspekte berücksichtigt. Auf Grundlage der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse wurde ein EDV-gestütztes Analysetool (Web-Tool) zur Nachhaltigkeitsbewertung für das Mauerwerksrecycling entwickelt. Mit dem Web-Tool sollen Anwender (Planer, Architekten, Recycler) die Möglichkeit erhalten, für verschiedene Untersuchungsfälle unter Einbeziehung regional und sachlich bedingter Parameter, wie Materialqualität, Stoffmengen, Logistik, Aufbereitungstechnik, Anwendungsbereiche, Kosten und Erlöse, objektspezifische Aussagen zur Nachhaltigkeit treffen zu können. Auf diesem Wege können im Sinne der aktuellen gesetzlichen Vorgaben nachhaltige Stoffkreisläufe im Mauerwerksbau geschlossen und somit letztlich die Deponierung von Mauerwerksrestmassen vermieden werden. Alle vier Wandbaustoffarten haben sich im Rahmen des Forschungsvorhabens als recyclingfähig und hinsichtlich der Nachhaltigkeit als gleichwertig erwiesen. Das Ziel des Vorhabens wurde damit erreicht.
