Purpose – This purpose of this paper is to report about the temperature distribution in metal and ceramic powder beds during 3D printing. The differing powders are thoroughly characterized in terms of thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, emissivity spectra and density.
Design/methodology/approach – The temperature distribution was measured in a 3D printing appliance (Prometal R1) with the help of thin thermocouples (0.25 mm diameter) and thermographic imaging. Temperatures at the powder bed surface as well as at differing powder bed depths were determined. The thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and emissivity spectra of the powders were measured as well. Numerical simulation was used to verify the measured temperatures.
Findings – The ceramic powder heated up and cooled down more quickly. This finding corresponds well with numerical simulations based on measured values for thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity as well as emissivity spectra. An observed color change at the metal powder has only little effect on emissivity in the relevant wavelength region.
Research limitations/implications – It was found that thermocouple-based temperature measurements at the powder bed surface are difficult and these results should be considered with caution.
Practical implications – The results give practitioners valuable information about the transient temperature evolution for two widely used but differing powder systems (metal, ceramic). The paramount importance of powder bed porosity for thermal conductivity was verified. Already small differences in thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and hence volumetric heat capacity lead to marked differences in the transient temperature evolution.
Originality/value – The paper combines several techniques such as temperature measurements, spectral emissivity measurements, measurements of thermal conductivity and diffusivity and density measurements. The obtained results are put into a numerical model to check the obtained temperature data and the other measured values for consistency. This approach illustrates that determinations of surface temperatures of the powder beds are difficult.
Die Menge an genutztem, verarbeitetem und gelagertem Holz steigt von Jahr zu Jahr. In der Folge konnte in den letzten fünf Jahren eine deutlich gestiegene Zahl von Bränden in Holzlagern und -halden festgestellt werden. Viele dieser Brände sind durch Selbstentzündung des Materials verursacht worden. Sind die Ursachen der Selbstentzündung bekannt, kann die Brandentstehung durch geeignete Maßnahmen vermieden werden. Die Fachgruppe II.2 „Reaktionsfähige Stoffe und Stoffsysteme“ der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung hat in diesem Leitfaden das Thema aufgegriffen und die derzeit vorliegenden Erkenntnisse zusammenfassend dargestellt. Ziel des Leitfadens ist es, die Grundlagen der Selbstentzündung von Biomasse am Beispiel von Holz in übersichtlicher Form darzustellen und daraus praktische Hinweise zur Vermeidung der Selbstentzündung von Holzhalden abzuleiten, um so einen Weg für einen sicheren und nachhaltigen Umgang mit diesem Rohstoff zu ebnen. Dem Leitfaden liegen Ergebnisse des Forschungsvorhabens „Brandvermeidung bei der Lagerung von biogenen Brennstoffen“ zugrunde. Das Projekt wurde innerhalb der Fördermaßnahme „klimazwei – Forschung für den Klimaschutz und Schutz vor Klimawirkungen“ des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung finanziell gefördert (Förderkennzeichen 01LS05079). Für diese Förderung möchten die Autoren sich bedanken.
The current paper presents experimental investigations as well as numerical simulations on the influence of water and humidity on the self-ignition of combustible bulk materials.
It is well known, that bulk materials may undergo self-ignition if stored under specific conditions. In some cases, large amounts of these materials are exposed to a humid surrounding, e.g. dried coal in a moist atmosphere. Due to the effects of condensation and adsorption of water, additional heat is generated and transported into the bulk material. If the pile is stored slightly below its self-ignition temperature, the bulk material can become supercritical and an ignition occurs.
Experiments were carried out for German lignite coal sampled in two different particle size fractions. They showed, that subcritical deposits turned to supercritical behaviour if the relative humidity in the surrounding was suddenly increased or water was poured on the surface of the sample. Besides the experiments, a numerical model was established to describe the effects of self-heating until ignition of the deposit, including the transportation of moisture. Simulations with this model led to satisfying results when compared to the experiments.
A numerical model is presented which consists of a set of partial differential equations for the transport of heat and mass fractions of eight chemical species to describe the onset of self-ignition and the propagation of smouldering fires in deposits of bulk materials or dust accumulations. The chemical reaction sub-model includes solid fuel decomposition and the combustion of char, carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
The model has been validated against lab-scale self-ignition and smouldering propagation experiments and then applied to predictions of fire scenarios in a lignite coal silo. Predicted reaction temperatures of 550 K and propagation velocities of the smouldering front of about 6 mm/h are in good agreement with experimental values derived from lab-scale experiments.
Experiments were performed to investigate the self-ignition behaviour of accumulations of four different technical dusts at oxygen volume fractions ranging from 1.3 to 21%. For this purpose a laboratory oven used for hot storage testing was modified to allow flushing with the pre-mixed oxygen/nitrogen mixture of the desired composition. It was found that for all sample volumes investigated the self-ignition temperatures were higher the lower was the oxygen volume fraction. In addition, the type of reaction changed obviously, since the apparent activation energy significantly decreased at oxygen volume fractions below 6%. However, it was still possible to observe exothermic effects at oxygen volume fractions as low as 1.3%. A numerical model was established to simulate the process of self-ignition including the coupled heat and mass transfer within the dust accumulation using a finite element solver. The model consists of six balance equations for the heat transfer and the transport of five chemical species. It shows that the model reflects self-ignition in dust accumulations with satisfying accuracy, as long as the input data generated by preceding experiments are reliable.
Staubexplosionen können in nahezu allen Branchen auftreten, in denen brennbare Schüttgüter und Stäube gehandhabt werden oder entstehen können, vor allem dort, wo Stäube in aufgewirbelter Form vorkommen. Abgelagerte Stäube können bei starker Erwärmung zur Entzündung gelangen. Die Beurteilung daraus entstehender Gefahren und das Auslegen von vorbeugenden und konstruktiven Schutzmaßnahmen erfolgt über sog. sicherheitstechnische Kenngrößen (STK). Im Rahmen eines vom Bundesland Sachsen geförderten Projekts sind von der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) STK brennbarer Stäube zu Staubgruppen zusammengefasst und in den Gemeinsamen Stoffdatenpool Bund/Länder (GSBL) integriert worden. Grundlage für die Staubgruppen waren zahlreiche Datensätze, die in der Datenbank GESTIS-STAUB-EX des Instituts für Arbeitsschutz der Deutschen Gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung (IFA) veröffentlich sind. Angegeben werden allerdings nicht mehr die dort enthaltenen Kenngrößen einzelner Stäube, sondern Bandbreiten, innerhalb derer sich die STK der in den Staubgruppen zusammengefassten Stäube bewegen können. Je nach Datenlage wurden die sicherheitsrelevanten Grenzen dieser Bandbreiten mit einem Ranking versehen.
To date, in the textile manufacturing process of warp knitting, trouble-shooting and process optimization mainly rely on empirical knowledge and experiments. This factor limits the achievable increase in productivity and quality. On the other hand, using simulations, different phenomena that affect the quality of the knitted fabric and the knitting process can be clarified in the run-up of the experiments. Consequently, an increase in quality and flexibility can be reached with reduced experimental effort. This paper presents a process simulation of the warp thread dynamics in the thread feeding system of a warp knitting machine. For this purpose, a continuum model of the warp thread that includes the spatial dynamics of the thread and the axial transport movement has been developed.
For the classification and safe handling and use of the chemicals, special standardized testing proce-dures have been developed and are used world-wide. Safety experts must be able to fully rely on the precise execution of the respective laboratory tests and assessments. In this context interlaboratory tests (round robin tests, interlaboratory comparisons / intercomparisons) are a crucial element of a laboratory's quality system. Participation in interlaboratory tests is explicitly recommended by the standard ISO/IEC 17025.
The present document reports on the results of the interlaboratory test 2010/2011 on the test method DIN EN 15188:2007 “Determination of the spontaneous ignition behaviour of dust accumulations” [1] which was organized by the Center for Quality Assurance for Testing of Dangerous Goods and Haz-ardous Substances.
The test method DIN EN 15188:2007 is applied to characterize the self-ignition behaviour of combus-tible dusts. The experimental basis for describing the self-ignition behaviour of a given dust is the de-termination of the self-ignition temperatures (TSI) of differently-sized volumes of the dust sample by isoperibolic hot storage experiments (storage at constant oven temperatures) in commercially availa-ble ovens. The results thus measured reflect the dependence of self-ignition temperatures upon dust volume [1].
Several internal investigations and interlaboratory comparisons in the past have shown significant differences between the lab-specific results of hot storage tests.
Figure 2-1 shows the Pseudo-Arrhenius plot of hot storage tests of eight different laboratories (Round Robin Test 2002, BAM). The dust under this investigation was Lycopodium powder (spores). The par-ticipants of this interlaboratory test used different laboratory ovens (size, ventilation) as well as differ-ent sample baskets (shape, mesh size, single- and double-walled).
Figure 2-1 shows clearly that this test failed to produce reasonable reproducibility of the TSI between the different laboratories. As possible reasons for the deviations have been identified lab-specific dif-ferences, e.g.:
- oven ventilation (enforced, natural convection),
- oven size,
- sample baskets,
- radiation effects,
- measuring precision (temperature difference between tests with ignition and no ignition),
- minimum sample size.
To reduce the differences between the labs it was necessary to ameliorate the testing method and to improve the execution of the method by the lab. From there, the installation of an inner chamber into the laboratory oven was suggested as experimental set-up in EN 15188:2007 to provide more repro-ducible test conditions. The aappropriateness of this set-up has not been verified yet.
The current interlaboratory test 2010-2011 focuses on the use of a special mesh wire screen and spe-cial volumes of the sample baskets (cubes) to normalise/harmonise the test conditions in the different labs. In preparation for the interlaboratory test a joint program between Syngenta and BAM has been initiated in 2009. As a result of these investigations a modified set-up ( chapter 3) has been identi-fied to be probably more appropriate than the suggested set-up in DIN EN-15188:2007.
Due to the time-consuming test procedure and to optimize the workflow for the laboratories this in-terlaboratory test should be performed stepwise as a multi-level test ( chapter 5.4) on one typical test sample.
