3D Crack analysis in hydrogen charged lean duplex stainless steel with synchrotron refraction CT
(2016)
Hydrogen in metals can cause a degradation of the mechanical properties, the so-called hydrogen embrittlement. In combination with internal stresses, hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC) can occur. This phenomenon is not completely understood yet. To better characterise the cracking behaviour, it is important to gain information about the evolution of the 3D crack network. For this purpose samples of lean duplex stainless steel were loaded with hydrogen by means of electrochemical charging and investigated by means of synchrotron refraction CT and SEM fractography after uniaxial tensile loading. Synchrotron refraction CT is an analyser-based imaging (ABI) technique. It uses a Si (111) single crystal as analyser, which is placed into the beam path between sample and detector. According to Bragg’s law only incident x-rays within a narrow range around the Bragg-angle are diffracted from the analyser into the detector. Hence, the analyser acts as an angular filter for the transmitted beam. This filtering allows to turn the refraction and scattering of x-rays into image contrast. Refraction occurs at all interfaces, where the density of the material changes and is more sensitive to density changes than the attenuation. Therefore, it is possible to detect smaller cracks than with classical x-ray imaging techniques, like CT, with comparable spacial resolution. It also visualises the 3D structure of the cracks and gains quantitative information about their morphology and distribution. Since cracks introduced by HAC are usually very small and have a small opening displacement, synchrotron refraction CT is expected to be well suited for imaging this cracking mechanism and can be a valuable tool to characterise the formation and the evolution of a 3D crack network.
Aiming at ceramic materials of low thermal radiation emittance titania yttrium oxide ceramics have been prepared by sintering in air at 1,100 and 1,400 °C, respectively, and characterised. Due to its high infrared refractive index, average pore sizes up to 1 µm for optimal Mie scattering cross sections and over 35% porosity the material is a promising candidate for elevated temperature insulations. The essentially in large pore growth is achieved by graphitic nano and micro particle additives.
The microstructure parameters of porosity, specific surface area, median and average pore sizes are determined by mercury intrusion porosimetry. Beyond this classical technique supplementary measurements by X-ray Absorption and X-ray refractometry reveal considerably larger average pore sizes due to closed pores not accessible for mercury. An additional advantage of the X-ray techniques is their non-destructive application, which allows other treatments afterwards. The combined application of both methods provides additional information and reliability in case of complex ceramic microstructures and may serve for improved developments of porous ceramics with optimised thermal scattering for energy savings in high temperature applications.
Kohlenstofffaser verstärkte Kohlenstoffe werden während ihres Ge-brauches an Luft zwischen 600°C und 1000°C korrodiert. Um zu überprüfen, ob die Röntgerefraktionsmethode als zerstörungsfreies Prüfverfahren die bei der Oxidation auftretenden morphologischen Änderungen im Probekörper signifikant nachweisen können, wurden bei 630°C oxidativ geschädigte gasphaseninfiltrierte C/C Kerami-ken untersucht. Anhand eines Kugelmodells werden die aus dem Experiment ableit-baren Größen der spezifischen Oberfläche und Porosität erläutert. Die experimen-tellen Ergebnisse konntne nachweisen, dass infiltrierten C/C Keramiken während einer oxidativen Belastung aufgrund des lokal unterschiedlichen Oxidationsverhal-tens eine ausgeprägte Kern Schale Struktur ausbilden.
High performance composites and other light weight materials are generally a comple problem to the performance of nondestructive testing methods. X-ray refraction provide unconventional X-ray scattering techniques to meet the actual demand for improve nondestructive characterization of these advanced materials. Scanning the samples across collimated narrow incident X-ray beam permits to image integral micro-structures (a present) with a resolution of 10 µm. Investigations of samples after strain-induced micro cracks and fibre debonding in impact damaged epoxy are shown.
The physics of X-ray refraction are analogous to the well known refraction of light b optical lenses and prisms, governed by Snell's law. The special feature is the deflection a very small angles of few minutes of arc, as the refractive index of X-rays in matter i nearly one. Due to the density differences at inner surfaces most of the incident X-rays ar deflected. As the scattered intensity of refraction is proportional to the specific surface of sample, a reference standard gives a quantitative measure for analytical determinations.
Figure 1 represents a two-dimensional damage distribution of an impact in a 0/90° CFR laminate of 3 mm, thickness. Unlike in ultrasonic testing, there is no shadowing effect o the successive layers. By use of X-ray refraction the exact concentration of debonde fibres is calculated for each position. Additionally the refraction allows the selection of th fibre orientation.
