For how trivial or provocative it can sound, the best neutron spectrometer in the world does not produce science by itself. By definition of Materials Science, neutron scattering data on engineering materials must be used as a tool to understand, and even tailor, materials performance. In order for this to happen, it is clear that neutron data need to be acquired under the most relevant condition possible, coupled to other experimental techniques, and capitalized by means of proper simulations and data analysis.
In fact, access to neutron sources is not routine. Consequently, it is imperative to search ways to make neutron data rentable for the material science and industrial research community.
In this presentation, and based on the example of Ceramic Diesel Particulate Filters and Aluminum Matrix Composites, we will show a couple of strategies to combine neutron data with other experiments, and with theoretical models. Their combination allows raising the value of experiments from data production to problem-solving. Obviously, these are only a few among the many combinations possible to help improving materials properties, performance, and safety.
The influence of the support structure on residual stress and distortion in SLM Inconel 718 parts
(2017)
The effect of support structure and of removal from the base plate on the residual stress state in Selective Laser Melted IN718 parts was studied by means of synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The residual stresses in subsurface region of two elongated prisms in as-built condition and after the cutting from the base plate were determined. One sample was directly built on a base plate and another one on a support structure. Also, the distortion on the top surface due to stress release was measured by contact profilometry. High tensile residual stress values were found, with pronounced stress gradient along the hatching direction. In the sample on support stress redistribution took place after removal of the base plate, as opposed to simple stress relaxation for the sample without support. The sample on support structure showed larger distortion compared to sample without support. We conclude that the use of a support decreases stress values but stress relieving heat treatments are still needed.
Ein kurzes Blick in die Computertomographie (CT) im Rahmen des RT3 Kurs der DGZfP ist gegeben.
Die Radontransformation ist bildlich erklärt, und die Grundlagen der Technik mit Vergleich zu der Radiographie sind auch erwähnt. Die typische Rekonstruktionsfehler und deren Beseitigung sind behandelt. Am Ende Beispiele der Anwendungen der CT sind gegeben, aus der zerstörungsfreie Prüfung, der Materialwissenschaft und der Metrologie.
In the present study, Ti-6Al-4V bridge-like specimens were manufactured additively by selective laser melting (SLM) under different laser scanning speed conditions in order to compare the effect of process energy density on the residual stress state. Subsurface residual stress analysis was conducted by means of synchrotron diffraction in energy dispersive mode for three conditions: as-built on base plate, released from base plate, and after heat treatment on the base plate. The quantitative residual stress characterization shows a correlation with the qualitative bridge curvature method. Computed tomography (CT) was carried out to ensure that no stress relief took place owing to the presence of porosity. CT allows obtaining spatial and size pores distribution which helps in optimization of the SLM process.
High tensile residual stresses were found at the lateral surface for samples in the as-built conditions. We observed that higher laser energy density during fabrication leads to lower residual stresses. Samples in released condition showed redistribution of the stresses due to distortion. A method for the calculation of the stress associated to distortion of the parts after cutting from base plate is proposed. The distortion measurements were used as input for FEM simulations.
Im vergangenen Jahrzehnt sind gitterinterferometrische Röntgenabbildungen zunehmend in den Fokus des Interesses gerückt. Sie sind insbesondere dann Vorteil, wenn der in der Standardradiographie erreichbare Kontrast nicht genügt, schwach absorbierende Mikro- und Nanostrukturen abzubilden.
Auf Kosten mehrerer Aufnahmen gestattet die Talbot-Lau Gitterinterferometrie, die Beiträge aus Absorption, Refraktion und (refraktiver) Streuung zu trennen. Dazu werden die Störungen der Interferenzmuster von Phasengittern ausgewertet. Im Gegensatz zu einer Vielzahl anderer refraktionsbasierter Abbildungsmethoden kann diese Technik mit konventionellen Röntgenröhren (mit divergenter, polychromatischer Strahlung) angewendet werden. Damit ist die Technik geeignet, typische ZfP-Fragestellungen zu lösen.
Hier stellen wir Untersuchungen zur Effizienz von Phasengittern vor. Die Visibilität (d.h. die Höhe der Oszillation im Interferenzmuster) wird als Funktion verschiedener geometrischer Parameter verfolgt. Eine Rotation um die Achse parallel zu den Gitterstegen ändert die Form des Gitterprofils (d.h. die Verteilung der Phasenschiebungen). Die kontinuierliche Variation des Winkels und des Detektionsabstandes führt zur Identifikation von ausgezeichneten Kombinationen mit maximaler Visibilität, wobei die Abstände deutlich geringer sind als im Standardaufbau mit senkrechter Gitterbestrahlung.
Unsere Studie umfasst Simulationen für monochromatische Quelle und den Vergleich zu experimentellen Ergebnissen mit der Synchrotronstrahlung.
In der Literatur wurden die Vorteile der Talbot-Lau Interferometrie für die zerstörungsfreie Prüfung von Faserkompositen und Verbundwerkstoffen demonstriert. Hier werden als Beispiele Messungen an Aluminiumtitanat (Al2TiO5) Pulver gezeigt.
Quantitative image analysis, statistical approaches, direct discretization of tomographic reconstructions represent concrete possibilities to extend the power of the tomographic 3D representation to insights into the material and component performance. I will show a few examples of possible use of X-ray tomographic data for quantitative assessment of damage evolution and microstructural properties, as well as for non-destructive testing, with particular focus on additively manufactured materials. I will also show how X-ray refraction computed tomography (CT) and Neutron diffraction can be highly complementary to classic absorption CT, being sensitive to internal interfaces and residual stress analysis, respectively.
Shock tube systems are non-electric explosive fuses employed in blasting and demolition applications to trigger the detonation of explosive charges. Their working principle is based on the explosive reaction of a fine explosive powder on the tubing's inner surface, generating a shock wave traveling at a velocity of 2,100 m/s along the length of the tube, without destroying it. One of
the key aspects of the manufacturing process of these shock tubes is the size and morphology of the explosive powder grains and their distribution on the inner wall of the tube, in order to propagate the shockwave efficiently and reliably. For the first time, synchrotron X-ray computed tomography has been used to characterize non-destructively the explosive powder grains, typically Al/HMX between 10 and 20 μm in size, in terms of morphology and 3D distribution but also to characterise the presence and location of defects
within the shock tube walls.
Applications of X-ray refraction to non-destructive characterization of ceramics and composites
(2017)
X-ray refraction is analogous to visible light deflection by matter, with two main differences: 1- convex objects cause divergence (i.e., the refraction index n is smaller than 1), and 2- deflection angles are very small, from a few seconds to a few minutes of arc (i.e., n is near to 1). Trivially but importantly, deflection of X-rays is also sensitive to the orientation of the object boundaries. These features make X-ray refraction techniques extremely suitable to a) detect defects such as pores and microcracks, and quantify their densities in bulk (light) materials, and b) evaluate porosity and particle properties such as orientation, size, and spatial distribution (by mapping). While X-ray refraction techniques cannot in general image single defects, their detectability is simply limited by the wavelength of the radiation.
We will thereby show the application of X-ray refraction 2D mapping (topography) and tomography to different sorts of problems in ceramic science and technology: 1) Sintering of SiC green bodies; 2) Porosity analysis in diesel particulate filter silicates; 3) fiber de-bonding in metal and polymer matrix composites; 4) micro-cracking of glass-precursor -eucryptite. We will see that the use of X-ray refraction analysis yields quantitative results, also directly usable in available models.
The combination of tomographic, microstructural data with other experimental techniques and with modeling is paramount, if we want to extract the maximum amount of information on material and component properties. In particular, quantitative image analysis, statistical approaches, direct discretization of tomographic reconstructions represent concrete possibilities to extend the power of the tomographic 3D representation to insights into the material and component performance. This logic thread equally holds for industrial and academic research, and valorizes expensive experiments such as those carried out at synchrotron sources, which cannot be daily repeated.
I will show a few examples of possible use of X-ray tomographic data for quantitative assessment of damage evolution and microstructural properties, as well as for non-destructive testing. Examples of micro-structured inhomogeneous materials will be given, such as Composites, Ceramics, Concrete, and Additively manufactured parts. I will also show how X-ray refraction computed tomography (CT) can be highly complementary to classic absorption CT, being sensitive to internal interfaces.
Additionally, I will present a new technique in our portfolio, Neutron Diffraction, which is extremely well suited to the study of internal stresses, both residual and under external load.
