Advanced ceramics are promising key components for microsystems
engineering, communication Technology and medical engineering.
Driven by steadiiy increasing demands on dimensional accuracy of
components and Integration density, sintering has to be controlled at
an unprecedented degree of precision.
Being most crucial for components of complex shape, graded or heterogeneous-composed parts like LTCC multilayers for microsystems, precise control of sintering has a decisive influence on the dimensional accuracy, mechanical integrity and reliability of sintered components.
Thus, permanent or temporary shape distortions or warping during sintering may result from spatially heterogeneous microstructure and
temperature distribution, e.g. during the co-firing process of green
multilayer Stacks printed with metallization and other functional pastes.
Whereas permanent warping can be easily measured after sintering, temporary warping during firing is more difficult to measure. Nonetheless, this effect may cause latent failures later, which often limit the applicability of ceramic components.
Advanced methods for 3D green density characterization like computed tomography and 3D FE sinter modeling can be utilized for increasing the reliability of sintered components. The experimental in situ observation of sin-tering, however, is currently restricted to silhouette methods, i.e. heating microscopy. For complex shaped sam-ples, in situ shape screening during shrinkage would allow better validation of 3D sinter simulation models. Further, by revealing temporary sinter warpage, 3D high-temperature shape screening would allow to locate potential defects of complex sintered components. Against this background, BAM developed a testing device for in situ 3D high-temperature shape screening for ceramic and glass-ceramic tapes up to 1000°C [1-3]. Current work is focused on dropping this restriction in sample shape and temperature. The poster illustrates the current state of this work and possible applications of the method e.g. in detecting sinter warpage of metallized glass-ceramic LTCC tapes.

Hydrogen gas diffusivity of fourteen glasses of the Na2O-Al2O3-SiO2 system are studied along the joins quartzalbite-jadeite-nepheline (Qz-Ab-Jd-Np, fully polymerized) and albite-sodium disilicate (Ab-Ds, depolymerized).
Density measurements show that ionic porosity decreases from 54.4% (Qz) to 51.5% (Np) and from 52.4% (Ab) to 50.2% (Ds). Hydrogen diffusivity D follows similar trends but at another scale. D at 523 K decreases from 4×10−12 to 3×10−14m2 s−1 (Qz-Np) and from 4×10−13 to 3×10−15m2 s−1 (Ab-Ds). Charge compensating Na+ acting as a filling agent in fully polymerized network structures leads to up to one order of Magnitude higher diffusivities as depolymerized glass structures of the same SiO2 content where Na+ takes the role of a
modifier ion. Temperature dependence of the diffusivity indicates that both the activation energy involved with the moving H2 molecule as well as the accessible volume in the structure contribute to this compositional trend.
Physical storage of gaseous hydrogen under high-pressure in glassy micro-containers such as spheres and capillaries is a promising concept for enhancing safety and the volumetric capacity of mobile hydrogen storage systems. As very low permeation through the container wall is required for storage of compressed hydrogen, development of glasses of minimal hydrogen permeability is needed. For this purpose, one has to understand better the dependence of hydrogen permeability on glass structure. The paper points out that minimizing the accessible free volume is as one strategy to minimize hydrogen permeability. Based on previously measured and comprehensive literature data, it is shown that permeation is independently controlled by ionic porosity and network modifier content. Thus, ionic porosity in modified and fully polymerized networks can be decreased equally to the lowest hydrogen permeability among the glasses under study. Applying this concept, a drop of up to 30,000 with respect to the permeation of hydrogen molecules through silica glass is attainable.
The development of glassy hydrogen barriers requires the determination of low H2 permeabilities. Previous studies and numerical simulations have shown that the VHE powder method (vacuum hot extraction with mass spectrometric gas detection) is suitable for this purpose. The measured isothermal gas emission is fitted to a classical diffusion model for spherical particles from which the diffusion coefficient of the glass is calculated. The H2 permeability is determined by means of the solubility determined from the same measurement data. This presentation is referring to the optimization of the method regarding sample preparation and measurement data evaluation using suitable experimentally determined particle size distributions is reported. For quartz glass, it is shown that the accuracy of classical measuring methods is achieved with the VHE powder method. Furthermore, other examples of substantially gas-tighter glasses are given.
Most crucial for components of complex shape or heterogeneous micro structure, precise control of sintering has decisive influence on dimensional accuracy, mechanical integrity and reliability of sintered components. In these cases, only in situ 3D high-temperature shape screening during shrinkage would allow revealing temporary sinter warpage and hereby caused potential defects. Against this background, nokra Optische Prüftechnik und Automation GmbH, HTM Reetz GmbH and BAM developed a testing device for in situ 3D shape screening for ceramic and glass-ceramic tapes up to 1000°C by means of high-temperature laser profilometry. The local repeatability of the sample-sensor distance (sample height profile) is 10 µm at 1000°C. Current work is focused on dropping these restrictions in sample shape and temperature. In a second testing device, currently being in development, samples up to 5 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm can be measured at temperatures up to 1500°C.The presentation illustrates the current state of this work and possible applications of the method.
