An extensive comparison between the conventional Vickers hardness at 500 mN and indentation hardness measured with Vickers indenters at 500 mN is presented for up to 20 different materials and for three different instruments. Additionally, the indentation modulus is compared to Young’s modulus, which was measured with alternative methods or taken from the literature. It is shown that the agreement between the results from depth-sensing indentation and the reference values can be improved by additional corrections, for the calculation of the indentation area. With corrections the mean hardness difference to the Vickers hardness reference as average of all investigated materials can be reduced to about 10 % although disturbing pile-up or sink-in effects can still not be considered. For the modulus, the mean difference was only about 6 %.
Alloy 59 (NiCr23Mo16Al) with a lot of chromium, molybdenum and nickel possesses excellent resistance not only to reducing but also oxidizing chemicals. Both the Nickel alloy 59 and the superaustenitic steel alloy 31 have already been used as shell materials for tank vehicles or tank containers. Use of these alloys allows the transport of a signifi-cantly more wider variety of chemicals and, especially, waste mixtures than the use of common aus-tenitic steels. Another advantage is the extension of test intervals of for transport tanks. In Germany the 'BAM-List – Requirements for Tanks for the Transport of Dangerous Goods' is the basis for substance-related prototype approvals for tank containers designed for the carriage of dangerous goods issued by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM). Com-patibility evaluations of selected metallic material groups as well as polymeric gasket and lining materials under the influence of approximately 7000 dangerous goods and water-polluting sub-stances are published in the BAM-List. Alloy 59 belongs to the group of metallic materials in the BAM-List. Due to the large number of dangerous goods in the BAM-List BAM, IKS Dresden and ThyssenKrupp VDM performed a comprehensive corrosion test programme with welded specimens of the nickel alloy 59 and the superaustenitic steels alloy 926 and alloy 31 in the period 2002 - 2010. Especially In particular alloy 59 and alloy 31 were exposed to a large number of corrosive sub-stances such as various mixtures of both nitric acid/sulphuric acid and nitric acid/phosphoric acid at 55 °C. Other corrosive test substances were different organic and inorganic halogenides, peroxyace-tic acid and molten substances. In the case of molten chemicals such as monochloroacetic acid the test temperature was increased to more than 100 °C. The test results presented in this paper are al-ready included in the 10th edition of the BAM-List and, therefore, available to the customer.
Efficient formation of difluoramino (NF2) groups within the polymer matrix upon exposure of polyamides (PA6 and PA12) to elemental fluorine is reported. The reaction was assessed on bulk and thin-film samples by means of RA-FTIR (reflection–absorption FTIR), XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), and NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) techniques. Direct fluorination causes cleavage of the amide C–N bond and concomitant formation of the NF2 chain-end functionalities as evident from an exceptionally large shift (+5 eV) of the N 1s binding energy and an increase of the v(CO) frequency by about 80 cm-1. The structural model is supported by the 19F NMR spectra of volatile reaction products that clearly reveal the presence of the NF2 group.
It has been successfully demonstrated that ceramic materials can be joined in the green
state without a second phase by using low pressure injection molded parts. The investigation of the
joining interface revealed that a high quality interface can be achieved by carefully adjusting the
different manufacturing steps. The use of monomodal particle size distribution in the used powder
CT3000SG is inferior to a broader particle size distribution obtained by replacing 33% of the finer
alumina powder by coarser CT1200SG. In this way the dewaxing process is significantly improved
when the wall thickness of the part exceeds 3 mm. The investigation of the mechanical properties of
the joined and sintered parts revealed, that the bending strength of the joined specimens achieved
about 80 % of the unjoined, monolithic specimens.
A material family to replace the current superalloys in aeronautical gas turbine engines is
considered to be that of gamma Titanium Aluminide (γ-TiAl) alloys. Structural components in
aeronautical gas turbine engines typically experience large variations in temperatures and multiaxial
states of stress under non-isothermal conditions. The uniaxial, torsional and bi-axial thermomechanical
fatigue (TMF) behaviour of this γ-TiAl alloy have been examined at 400 800°C with
strain amplitudes from 0.15% to 0.7%. The tests were conducted at both in-phase (IP) and out-ofphase
(OP). The effects of TMF on the microstructure were also investigated. For the same
equivalent mechanical strain amplitude uniaxial IP tests showed significantly longer lifetimes than
pure torsional TMF tests. The non-proportional multiaxial OP test showed the lowest lifetimes at
the same equivalent mechanical strain amplitude compared to the other types of tests.
The sintering of Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics prepared from alumoborosilicate
glass- and Al2O3 powders of similar small particle size was studied by dilatometry, heating microscopy,
microstructure analysis, glass- and effective viscosity measurements. The steric effect of
Al3O3 inclusions was studied using a gnon-reactiveh model composite. With increasing Al3O3 volume
fraction (Φ ≤ 0.45), sintering decelerates and its final stage shifts to higher temperature. The
attainable shrinkage is reduced as Al2O3 particle clusters bearing residual pores become more frequent.
The kinetics of sintering could be described formally superposing the weighed contributions
of differentially sized and randomly composed glass-crystal particle clusters and assuming a sintering
rate controlled by the effective matrix viscosity, which increases with Φ and with progressive
wetting of Al2O3 particles during densification. The "reactive" model composite shows significant
dissolution of Al2O3 into the glass, which has two opposed effects on sintering: reducing Φ and increasing
glass viscosity. For the present case (Φ = 0.25), the latter effect dominates and sintering is
retarded by Al2O3 dissolution. Crystallization of wollastonite starts after full densification. Dissolution
of Al2O3 was found to promote the subsequent growth of anorthite.
Green compacts of ceramics, glass ceramic composites and sinter glass ceramics contain
different amounts of organic materials added as pressing aids or binders. Before sintering, these
organics have to burn out completely. In oxidising atmospheres, the debindering process is mostly
exothermic and therefore difficult to control. This uncontrolled heat production due to locally enhanced
debindering and respective gas release may cause damages in the green compact microstructure.
Therefore, debindering is usually operated with very low heating rates (< 3 K/min) which requires
long processing times of many hours. In this paper, we will show that it is possible to reduce
the processing time for debindering dramatically by using the decomposition rate of the organic
binder, detected by the weight loss of the sample, as a control factor of the furnace.
High-power optical multimode fibers are essential components for materials processing
and surgery and can limit the reliability of expensive systems due to breakdown at the end faces.
The breakdown threshold of fibers is determined by intrinsic materials properties and parameters of
the technology applied. The aim of this paper is the identification of technological parameters that
are crucial for the fiber quality.
Fibers were drawn from preforms of Heraeus SWU with core material F300 and a low amount of
OH-. Both, the cladding (fluorine doped SiO2) to core diameter ratio (CCDR) and the drawing speed
were varied. CCDR values between 1.05 and 1.4 were used. Afterwards, the laser-induced damage
thresholds (LIDT) of the fibers were determined. For comparison, also samples from preforms,
which underwent different thermal treatments above the transition temperature, were tested with
respect to their damage resistivity. Single and multi pulse LIDT measurements were done in
accordance with the relevant ISO standards. Nd:YAG laser pulses with durations of 15 ns (1064 nm
wavelength) and 8.5 ns (532 nm) at a repetition rate of 10 Hz were utilized. For the fibers, LIDT
values (1-on-1, 1064 nm and 532 nm) increased with growing CCDR and with decreasing drawing
velocities.
Metallosupramolecular coordination polyelectrolytes (MEPEs) based on rigid and flexible ditopic bis-terpyridine ligands and Fe(II) ions are investigated by Mössbauer spectroscopy. We demonstrate the influence of mechanical stress induced by grinding on the structure of MEPE as well as the ability of MEPE to self-repair through recrystallisation.
Trace elements of ancient gold such as Pt, give fundamental information on the circulation of the metal in the past. In the case of objects from the cultural heritage, the determination of trace elements requires non-destructive point analysis in general. These conditions and the need of good detection limits restrain the number of applicable analytical techniques.
After the development of a PIXE set-up with a selective Cu or Zn filter of 75 µm and of a PIXE-XRF set-up using a primary target of As, we tested the possibilities of spatially resolved Sy-XRF to determine Pt in gold alloys. With a Zn filter, PIXE showed a detection limit of 1000 ppm in gold while PIXE-XRF lowers this detection limit down to 80 ppm. This last value being constrained by the resonant Raman effect produced on gold. In order to improve the detection limit of Pt keeping the non-destructiveness and access to point analysis, we developed an analytical protocol for XRF with synchrotron radiation at BESSY II, using the BAMline set-up. The L-lines of Pt were excited by a beam of energy above and below 11.564 keV and measured using a Si(Li) detector with a 50 µm Cu filter. A µ-beam of 100250 µm2 was used according to the size of the sample. The determination of the Pt content in the samples was carried out by Monte-Carlo simulation and subtraction of Au and Pt spectra obtained on pure standards. The limit of detection for Pt of 20 ppm was determined by using certified standards. The detection limits of a small set of other characteristic elements of gold were also measured using an incident energy of 33 keV.
