The new promoted ignition combustion test apparatus at BAM matches the requirements of ASTM test method G 124 [ASTM G 124, Standard Test Method for Determining the Combustion Behavior of Metallic Materials in Oxygen-Enriched Atmospheres, 2003] and of EIGA publication, IGC Doc 13/02/E [EIGA Gas Association Document IGC Doc 13/02/E, Oxygen Pipeline Systems, 2003]. The test apparatus is most likely the only one in Europe. The test chamber allows investigations with pure oxygen or oxygen mixtures at pressures up to 500 bar and at temperatures up to 400°C at static or flowing gas conditions. The ignition device consists of an electrical ignition wire and a promoter. IR-sensors, distributed over the whole length of the rod, measure and record the burning temperature and allow measurement of the burn rate. A video system records the experiment for visual characterization of the burning behavior. BAM test results are compared with published data. Results on investigations with coated rods are presented. Ceramic coatings seem to be a solution for the use of certain less compatible metallic materials at higher oxygen pressures.
Two different test apparatuses are used at BAM to evaluate the safety of oxygen components: First, the promoted ignition combustion test according to ASTM G 124 [1] and to EIGA IGC Doc 13/02/E [2], and second, the new metallic disk ignition test that has not been standardized yet. The standard test method ASTM G 124 allows a ranking of metallic materials for use at high pressure oxygen. However, the transfer of those test results to valves and fittings in real-life situations is rather complex. The metallic disk ignition test, developed at BAM, is more practice oriented and uses metallic disks of different thicknesses of the investigated material. A commonly used nonmetallic sealing ring is placed in front of this disk and serves as an igniter. This test array is then exposed to high pressure gaseous oxygen impacts in a standardized pneumatic impact tester according to DIN EN 1797 [3].
Zinkschichten wurden mit den zerstörungsfreien Methoden Röntgenfluoreszenz (XRF), mechanischer Tastschnitt (MS), Röntgenbeugung (XRD) und instrumentierter Eindringprüfung (IIT) hinsichtlich der makroskopischen und mikroskopischen Schichteigenschaften untersucht. Die Rauheit der Zinkschichten hängt im Wesentlichen von der Substratoberfläche ab. Inhomogenen Schichtdickenverteilung treten bekanntermaßen am Rand von Beschichtungsgestellen auf. Die plasto-elastische Eigenschaften Härte, E-Modul und Kriechen sind bei unterschiedlichen Abscheidungen vergleich- und reproduzierbar. Diese makroskopischen Schichteigenschaften sind geprägt von der Mikrostruktur der Schicht, die eine Vorzugsorientierung der Kristallite in der Netzebene (110), die senkrecht zur Substratoberfläche steht, zeigt.
The synthesis of polymerlike amorphous carbon (a-C:H) thin-films by microwave excited collisional hydrocarbon plasma process is reported. Stable and highly aromatic a-C:H were obtained containing significant inclusions of poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV). PPV confers universal optoelectronic properties to the synthesized material. That is a-C:H with tailor-made refractive index are capable of becoming absorption-free in visible (red)-near infrared wavelength range. Production of large aromatic hydrocarbon including phenyl clusters and/or particles is attributed to enhanced coagulation of elemental plasma species under collisional plasma conditions. Detailed structural and morphological changes that occur in a-C:H during the plasma synthesis are also described.
Public, hidden, and forensic features either encoded or directly legible are used for authentication. Fabry-Perot layer stacks as information carriers in combination with imaging ellipsometry as optical read-out system provide all-in-one anti-counterfeiting capability that may establish the new security level 'encoded forensic'. Different layer designs are described with regard to all three security levels: public features (e.g. color and tilt effect) perceptible by the human eye, hidden features (e.g. spectroscopic response in the UV or IR), and forensic features (ellipsometric quantities Ψ and Δ as a function of wavelength λ and angle of incidence AOI). Physically uncloneable functions (PUF) could be realized as a result of a multi-material and a multi-parameter deposition approach as well as by means of specific design features of the Fabry-Perot layer stack. Hence, they are not subject to any reverse engineering strategies. Examples of stratified, micro-structured, and laser-modified Fabry-Perot layer systems are considered that may be used at all perception levels (e.g. human eye, bar code reader, and imaging ellipsometry) for authentication against product counterfeiting and related areas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zur Authentifizierung werden offene, versteckte und forensische Merkmale entweder codiert oder direkt auslesbar verwendet. Mit Fabry-Perot Schichtsystemen als Informationsträger in Kombination mit der abbildenden Ellipsometrie als optischem Auslesesystem steht ein 'all-in-one' Fälschungsschutz-System zur Verfügung, das ein neues Sicherheitsniveau 'kodiert-forensisch' darstellt. Es werden unterschiedliche Schichtdesigns beschrieben, mit denen alle drei Sicherheitsniveaus realisiert werden können: offene Merkmale (z.B. Farbe und Kippeffekt), die mit dem menschlichen Auge wahrnehmbar sind, versteckte Merkmale (z.B. die spektrale Antwort im Sichtbaren oder im IR) sowie forensische Merkmale (ellipsometrische Größen Ψ und Δ als Funktion der Wellenlänge λ und des Einfallswinkels AOI).
Physikalisch nicht klonbare Funktionen (PUF) können im Ergebnis einer Multi-Material- und Multi-Parameter Beschichtungsstrategie sowie durch spezifische Design-Merkmale des Fabry-Perot Schichtsystems realisiert werden. Folglich sind solche Schichtsysteme dem 'reverse engineering' nicht zugänglich. Es werden Beispiele für lateral ausgedehnte, mikrostrukturierte und Laser modifizierte Schichtsysteme auf verschiedenen Ausleseniveaus (menschliches Auge, Barcode-Lesegerät, abbildendes Ellipsometer) vorgestellt, die zur Authentifizierung von Produkten und verwandte Gebiete geeignet sind.
Fiber optic sensors have gained increasing importance in recent years and are well established in many areas of industrial applications. In this paper, we introduce a concept of a self-diagnostic fiber optic sensor. The presented sensor is to resolve the problems of embedded fiber optic sensors in complex structures and to enable the validation under operational conditions. For this purpose, different magnetostrictive coated fiber optic sensors were developed and various experiments were performed to verify their mode of Operation and to determine the respective reproducibility. The measuring principle is illustrated by obtained experimental results, which showed a change in wavelength from 1 pm at a magnetic field strength change of 0.25 mT.
In addition, the temperature characteristics of the implemented magnetostrictive sensor were analyzed and an experimental factor of 1.5 compared to a reference fiber optic sensor was determined.
Durch faseroptische Sensoren können Bauteile im Einsatz kontinuierlich überwacht und frühzeitig Informationen über Materialveränderungen gewonnen werden. Mittels einer magnetostriktiven Aktorschicht, welche den Sensor umhüllt, kann nun auch die korrekte Sensorfunktion jederzeit kontrolliert werden. Als Aktorschicht eignet sich galvanisch abgeschiedenes reines Nickel oder Nickel-Eisen in der Zusammensetzung 50:50. Um diese haftfest mit dem Sensor zu verbinden wurde ein ECD/PVD-Kombinationsschichtsystem entwickelt. Die mechanischen Eigenschaften der ECD-Schicht können sowohl mit einer auf die Fasergeometrie angepassten instrumentierten Eindringprüfung als auch einem 2-Punkt-Biegeversuch bestimmt werden.
Core-shell (CS) particles with a polymeric core and a silica shell play an important role in the materials and (bio)analytical sciences. Besides the establishment of reliable synthesis procedures, comprehensive particle characterization is essential for batch-to-batch reproducibility and objective performance assessment across architectures, protocols, and laboratories. Particle characterization with respect to size, size distribution, shell thickness and texture, surface area and roughness or materials composition is commonly conducted with different analytical methods, often on different samples. Our approach uses a dual-mode TSEM/SEM set-up with an EDX detector to obtain a complementary data set with sufficient statistical confidence of one and the same sample on a single instrument. Our protocol reveals information about size, size distribution and shell thickness of the various particles employed from overview images, while an increased field of view (FOV) and high-resolution EDX analysis yields detailed information on shell texture and elemental composition. An image analysis tool was developed to derive and quantify the profile roughness of CS particles from individual beads. Comparison with surface roughness data from AFM showed a similar trend in roughness across the series of particles. Reliable classification into smooth and rough is proposed and roughness changes within different particle batches were tracked systematically.
