The influence of heat treatment and creep loading on the microstructure of an Al-Cu-Li alloy was investigated. Especially the formation of different precipitates (T1 and Theta') were characterized and the microstructural changes under different ageing conditions (with and without external strain) were investigated to determine the effect od stress on the ageing process.
The development of refractory chemically complex alloys (rCCAs) has been explored for potential use in high temperature applications. An example of this is the AlMo0.5NbTa0.5TiZr alloy. It was named as “high entropy superalloy” as it resembles the well-known γ/γ’ microstructure in Ni-Base superalloys with cuboidal particles embedded in a continuous matrix. However, the continuous phase in Ni Base alloys is an fcc solution and the cuboidal γ’ precipitates present the L12 intermetallic structure. On the opposite, this CCA has a reversed microstructure where the continuous matrix is formed by an ordered B2 phase which contains cuboidal precipitates of a disordered BCC phase. Some of the most importat results of microstructural analysis, creep test and oxidation are presented in the following work. The as-cast sample shows a bcc/B2 structure with hexagonal phase precipitates in amorphous state whereas the annealed sample also shows a combination of these phases but with larger bcc precipitates and a fully crystallized hexagonal intermetallic. It was found that porosity was higher in the annealed samples (Kinkerdall effect) and the hardness was higher in samples with faster cooling rate due smaller nanostructure. Norton plots show both diffusion and dislocation controlled deformation, and it was found different kinetics between dry and humid air oxidation with the presence of spallation.
The strength of age-hardenable aluminum alloys is based on the controlled formation of nm-sized precipitates, which represent obstacles to dislocation movement. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is generally used to identify precipitate types and orientations and to determine their size. This geometric quantification (e.g., length, diameter) is often performed by manual image analysis, which is very time consuming and sometimes poses reproducibility problems. The present work aims at the digital representation of this characterization method by proposing an automatable digital approach. Based on DF-TEM images of different precipitation states of alloy EN AW-2618A, a modularizable digital workflow is described for the quantitative analysis of precipitate dimensions. The integration of this workflow into a data pipeline concept is also presented. The semantic structuring of data allows data to be shared and reused for other applications and purposes, which enables interoperability.
Thermoelectric materials can convert waste heat directly into electrical power by utilizing the Seebeck effect. Calcium cobaltite (Ca3Co4O9, p-type) and calcium manganate (CaMnO3, n-type) are two of the most promising oxide thermoelectric materials. The performance of these materials is evaluated by the power factor PF = S²∙σ and the figure of merit ZT = (PF ∙ T) / κ, demanding high Seebeck coefficient S, high electrical conductivity σ and low thermal conductivity κ. The latter two are increasing with increasing relative sinter density. According to theory, the relative density of ceramics can be improved by increasing the driving force for sintering. This study investigates different approaches to increase the driving force for sintering of Ca3Co4O9 and CaMnO3 to improve densities and thermoelectric properties.
The following approaches were applied: minimizing the energy input during powder synthesis by calcination, fine milling of the powder, using reaction-sintering without a powder synthesis step, and adding a transient liquid phase by sinter additives.
All different approaches led to an increased densification and thus higher electrical conductivity and higher PF. Thermal conductivity increased as well but not to the same extent. E.g. reaction-sintering increased the densification of Ca3Co4O9 (p-type) and CaMnO3 (n-type). Consequently, the electrical conductivities improved by about 100 % for both oxides leading to superior power factors (PF = 230 µW/mK² for CaMnO3). Although the thermal conductivity increased as well by 8 %, the figures of merit (ZT) were significantly higher compared to conventionally sintered bars. The addition of 4 wt% CuO as a sinter additive to CaMnO3 lowers the sinter temperature from above 1250 °C to below 1100 °C and increases the relative density. Due to the increased density, both electrical conductivity and PF increased by more than 200 % even though the sintering temperature was 150 K lower.
Impact of acid condensation on wetting and corrosion behavior of CO2 transport-pipeline steel
(2018)
Es ist allgemein akzeptiert, das Korrosion in CO2-Transport-Pipelines vernach¬lässigbar ist, solange der Wassergehalt des CO2-Stroms deutlich unter der maximal löslichen Menge liegt. Bisher gibt es keinen allgemeinen Konsens darüber, welcher maximale Wassergehalt in zu transportierendem CO2 zugelassen werden sollte. Bei einem Druck von 100 bar und im Temperaturbereich von 277 K bis 298 K beträgt die Löslichkeit von Wasser in CO2 ca. 1.900 bis 3.200 ppmv, aber die Korrosionsrate von Stählen steigt schon ab einem Wassergehalt von 500 ppmv deutlich an. Bei Anwesenheit von Begleitstoffen wie SO2, NO2 und O2, können sich HNO3, H2SO3 und H2SO4 bilden. Menge und Zusammensetzung von kondensierter Säure sind von der Gaszusammensetzung abhängig, und der Korrosionsmechanismus und die Korrosionsform sind vom Kondensationsverhalten abhängig.
The chemically complex alloys (CCAs) that contain mostly refractory elements (rCCAs), may be highly resistant to heat and load, which makes them attractive candidates for use at extremely high temperatures associated with many technological applications, e.g. aeroengine turbines. However, the field of CCAs, especially their resistance in harsh (oxidative) and hot environment is still young and not much experimental evidence for the understanding mechanisms in this regime is available, which the proposed study addresses. For safe use in structural applications, in addition to their mechanical performance, the environmental resistance of this alloy is also critical. Surface degradation can significantly decrease the mechanical resistance during high temperature exposure, leading to premature failure. The AlMo0.5NbTa0.5TiZr rCCA only contains Al as a protection candidate and it is composed of a coherent B2/bcc nanoscopic cube-on-cube interweave and an hexagonal phase. The evaluation of the oxidation process in the AlMo0.5NbTa0.5TiZr rCCA in the heat-treated state has not been assessed yet. The proposed study focusses on a deeper understanding of the formation mechanism and growth kinetics of oxides at high temperature in the AlMo0.5NbTa0.5TiZr rCCA using synchrotron radiation. Due to the envisaged high temperature structural applications, the alloy is evaluated in an oxidation environment specifically between 800°C and 1000°C.
3D-printed landing pads on the moon: Paving the road for large area sintering of lunar regolith.
A prerequisite for lunar exploration and beyond is the manufacturing of objects directly on the moon, given the extreme costs involved in the shipping of material from Earth. Looking at processes, raw materials, and energy sources, equipment will certainly have to be brought from Earth at the beginning. Available on the moon are lunar regolith as raw material and the sun as an energy source. One of the first steps towards the establishment of a lunar base is the creation of infrastructure elements, such as roads and landing pads.
We’ll introduce you to the ESA-project PAVER that demonstrates the sintering and melting of lunar regolith simulant material to produce large scale 3D printed elements that could be used during human and robotic lunar explorations.
Das hochaktuelle Thema der Integration und Wiederverwendung von Wissen und Daten aus Herstellung, Bearbeitung und Charakterisierung von Materialien wird im Zuge der digitalen Transformation in der Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnologie in verschiedenen Projekten adressiert. Dabei stehen die Interoperabilität von nach FAIR-Prinzipien erstellten und veröffentlichten Daten und Anwendungen im Vordergrund. Zur Umsetzung eines komplexen Datenmanagements sowie der Digitalisierung im Bereich der Materialwissenschaften etablieren sich Ontologien zunehmend als belastbares Werkzeug. Sie ermöglichen sowohl menschenlesbare als auch maschinenverständliche und -interpretierbare Wissensrepräsentationen durch semantische Konzeptualisierungen.
Im Rahmen des Projektes Plattform MaterialDigital (PMD, materialdigital.de) werden Ontologien verschiedener Ebenen entwickelt (verbindende mid-level sowie Domänen-Ontologien). Die PMD-Kernontologie (PMD Core Ontology - PMDco) ist eine Ontologie der mittleren Ebene), die Verbindungen zwischen spezifischeren MSE-Anwendungsontologien und domänenneutralen Konzepten herstellt, die in bereits etablierten Ontologien höherer Ebenen (top-level Ontology) verwendet werden. Sie stellt somit einen umfassenden Satz von durch Konsensbildung in der Gemeinschaft (geteiltes Vokabular) entstanden Bausteinen grundlegender Konzepte aus der Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik (MSE) dar. Das primäre Ziel des PMDco-Designs ist es, die Interoperabilität zwischen verschiedenen MSE-bezogenen und anderen Ontologien zu ermöglichen. Die PMDco dient als umfassend ausgelegte und erweiterbare semantische Zwischenschicht, die gemeinsame MSE-Konzepte durch semantisches Mapping auf andere Darstellungen vereinheitlicht, was sie zu einem effizienten Werkzeug zur Strukturierung von MSE-Wissen macht. In dieser Präsentation wird die Version 2.0 der PMDco vorgestellt.
Weiterhin wird eine auf die PMDco bezogene normenkonforme ontologische Repräsentation zur Speicherung und Weiterverarbeitung von Zugversuchsdaten präsentiert, die in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Standardisierungsgremien erstellt wurde. Dies umfasst den Weg von der Entwicklung einer Ontologie nach Norm, der Konvertierung von Daten aus Standardtests in das interoperable RDF-Format bis hin zur Verbindung von Ontologie und Daten. Letztendlich können die entsprechenden Daten in einem Triple Store abgelegt und abgefragt werden. Auf Basis dieser Zugversuchsontologie wurde im Folgenden unter Verwendung eines elektronischen Laborbuches (electonic lab notebook – ELN) zur Datenaufnahme eine Praktikumsreihe von Universitätsstudierenden digitalisiert. Dadurch wurde eine vollständig digital integrierte Versuchsführung ermöglicht, die auf andere Versuchsreihen und Experimente übertragbar ist und ebenfalls vorgestellt werden soll. Neben einer erleichterten Aufnahme, Analyse und (Wieder-)Verwendbarkeit von Daten wird damit eine Sensibilisierung von Studierenden für Datenstrukturierung sowie semantische Technologien im Sinne der Aus- und Weiterbildung erreicht.
Ferritic-martensitic alloys with 12-16 % Cr in weight are subject to devices for various energy systems, such as coal power plants and waste incineration plants. These materials are exposed to a highly corrosive environment which lead to a degradation of the material. Especially the simultaneous oxidation and sulfidation is thereby of special interest. Proper spatially resolved measurements that determine not only chemical compositions but phases are rare. However, precise phase identification and quantification of corrosion products within the multi-phase corrosion scales is a key aspect to understand diffusion paths of metal ions and gas ions/molecules. This study investigated Fe-Cr model alloys with Cr contents from 0 to 13 % in weight in 0.5 % SO2 and 99.5 % Ar atmosphere to aim in a fundamental and systematic analysis. Samples were aged at 650 °C for time scales from 12 h to 250 h. The results presented here correspond to depth dependent phase identification of oxide and sulphide phases in the corrosion scales by using X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES). Per sample a series of ca. 20 spots (1-5 µm spot size) from scale-gas to scale-metal interface were measured. XANES spectroscopy was performed at the Fe-K edge (7.11 keV) on polished cross sections. The collected spectra were fitted to a combination of reference materials to quantify the present phases at different positions within the scale.The phase distribution differs with Cr content and the Cr diffusion through pure Fe-oxide and mixed Fe-Cr-oxide phases is discussed.
The surface corrosion behaviour is a key issue which determines whether the material is applicable at a given atmosphere. Medium-entropy alloy FeCrNi alloy was exposed to synthetic air at 1000°C, 1050°C, and 1100 °C for up to 1000 h using a thermobalance. The oxidation rate was parabolic at 1000 and 1050°C, but breakaway occurred at 1100°C after 5 h of aging time. The whole oxide scales formed under the isothermal oxidation tests spalled off and additional oxidation tests were carried out at 1000 °C and 1050°C for 24 h and up to 100 h at 1000°C in a tubular furnace. The corrosion behaviour of the MEA was analysed by scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction and compared to the behaviour of 316 L. The experimental results showed that under all conditions chromium is the main diffusion element resulting in the formation of a Cr2O3 layer at the MEA surface. Spallation of the layer induces the formation of additional oxidation products under the surface of the (spalled off) chromia layer.
The study presented here focusses on a systematic analysis of oxidation mechanisms of the well-known Cr20Mn20Fe20Co20Ni20 alloy and one of its ternary sub-system Cr33.3Co33.3Ni33.3 which were reported in the literature to exhibit attractive mechanical properties. Both alloys are single phase fcc prior to oxidation and were simultaneously exposed to different oxygen containing atmospheres at 700° C and 800° C for durations up to 288 h. Cr20Mn20Fe20Co20Ni20 showed poor oxidation resistance at high temperatures due to its high amount of manganese leading to the formation of non-protective Mn-oxide scales. In contrast, a relatively homogeneous and protective chromia layer was found to form on CrCoNi at 700° C and 800° C after each exposure time. Mass change-, SEM- and XRD analysis of the oxide layers were performed in the present study and provide a better understanding of the oxidation mechanisms as well as the impact of the alloy composition on oxidation behavior.
Nickel-based alloys have been widely used for gas turbine blades owing to their excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance at high temperatures. The operating temperatures of modern gas turbines have been increased in pursuit of increased thermal efficiency. Turbine blades are exposed to these high temperatures combined with mechanical stresses, resulting in material damage through creep, fatigue, and other mechanisms. These turbine blades must be regularly inspected and replaced as needed, to prevent the loss of efficiency, breakdown, and catastrophic failure. Repair of the damaged turbine blades is often a more practical and cost-effective option than replacement, as replacement is associated with high costs and loss of material resources. To this end, state-of-the-art repair technologies including different additive manufacturing and brazing processes are considered to ensure efficient repair and optimum properties of repaired components.
In any repaired part, materials property-mismatches and/or inner defects may facilitate the crack initiation and propagation and thus reduce the number of load cycles to failure. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of the fatigue crack growth and fracture mechanisms in joining zones is required to enable the prediction of the remaining life of repaired components and to further improve and adapt the repair technologies.
Fatigue crack growth experiments have been conducted on SEN (Single Edge Notch) specimens joined via brazing, and pre-sintered Preform (PSP) and multi-materials (casted/printed) specimens layered via additive manufacturing (AM). The experiments were performed at 950 °C and various stress ratios. The crack growth was measured using DCPD (Direct Current Potential Drop) method. The stress intensity factors for joined SEN specimens were calculated using the finite element method and then used to derive the fatigue crack growth curves. Metallographic and fractographic analyses were conducted to get insight into the fracture mechanism.
Results show that the experimental technique for fatigue crack growth was successfully adapted and applied for testing joined specimens. Furthermore, the initial tests indicate that the investigated braze filler material provides a lower resistance to crack growth, and bonding defects cause a crack to deviate to the interface of the base material and joining zone. In AM-sandwich specimens, the crack growth rates are significantly reduced when the crack reaches the interface of printed material and casted material. The obtained crack growth data can be used to calibrate a crack growth model, which will further be utilized to predict the remaining life of repaired components.
Gas turbine components, made of nickel-based alloys, undergo material damage due to high temperatures and mechanical stresses. These components need periodic replacement to avoid efficiency loss and failure. Repair of these parts is more cost-effective than replacement. State-of-the-art repair technologies, including different additive manufacturing (AM) and brazing processes, are considered for efficient restoration. Materials properties mismatches and/or internal defects in repaired parts may expedite crack initiation and propagation, reducing fatigue life. To understand the crack growth behavior in joining zones and predict the remaining life of repaired components, fatigue crack growth (FCG) tests were conducted on specimens of nickel-based alloys joined via brazing, pre-sintered preforms and AM. The FCG experimental technique was successfully adapted for joined specimens and results indicate that the investigated braze material provides a lower resistance to crack growth. In AM-sandwich specimens, the crack growth rates are significantly reduced at the interface of AM and cast material.
High- and medium-entropy alloys (HEAs and MEAs) constitute a new class of materials. Those with a face-centered cubic (fcc) structure from the Cr-Mn-Fe-Co-Ni system have excellent mechanical properties and are considered for high-temperature applications since diffusion in these alloys was reported to be sluggish. However, their corrosion resistance at high temperatures must still be evaluated to further qualify them for such kinds of applications.
Various groups studied the oxidation behavior of HEAs and MEAs under (dry) laboratory and artificial air as well as CO2/CO mixtures in different temperature ranges. CrCoNi exhibits the best corrosion resistance at 800 °C due to the formation of a protective Cr2O3 layer. The matrix below the oxide scale was reported to be correspondingly depleted in Cr. It was further shown that the addition of Mn and Fe to CrCoNi changes the phase composition of the oxide scale at 800 °C. A Mn2O3 layer was grown during oxidation on CrMnCoNi and CrMnFeCoNi and a Cr2O3 scale was formed at the matrix/oxide scale interface. Beneath these oxide layers, Mn- and Cr-depleted zones were detected. These phase morphologies demonstrate the inward diffusion of oxygen and outward diffusion of Cr and Mn resulting in the formation of Cr2O3 and Mn2O3.
In the present study, the corrosion resistance of CrMnFeCoNi and CrCoNi were confirmed and additionally characterized under further oxidizing atmospheres at 800 °C including Ar-2 Vol.% O2, Ar-2 Vol.% H20, and Ar-2 Vol.% SO2 mixtures.
The high-temperature corrosion behavior of the medium-entropy alloy Cr33Co33Ni33 (MEA) and the high-entropy alloy Fe20Cr20Co20Ni20Mn20 (HEA) in a mixed gas atmosphere of 10% H2O-2% O2 -0.5% SO2 + Ar as carrier gas [Vol.%] at 800 °C with duration times of t = 24h, 48h and 96h was investigated. Both alloys have a single-phase fcc microstructure. The oxidation kinetics of the HEA-CrMnFeCoNi roughly followed a linear rate law and a slow oxide growth was observable for the MEA-CrCoNi. The scale thickness of the corrosion layer in the quinary alloy increased with exposure time, while the scale thickness in the ternary alloy remained constant at around 1 µm. The MEA-CrCoNi developed a protective Cr2O3 layer with minor buckled parts. Co,Ni-chromite (Co,Ni)Cr2O4 was detected by XRD in minor amounts. The scale on HEA-CrMnFeCoNi displayed a triplex structure of a thin, continuous, inner Cr2O3 layer, a dense, intermediate Mn3O4 layer, and a thick, outer, porous layer consisting of Mn3O4 and MnSO4. Sulphides were only identified in the matrix of HEA-CrMnFeCoNi. Thermodynamic equilibrium calculations with FactSage (Log(S2) vs. Log(O2), ΔG of reactions) are in good agreement with these observations. The intense diffusion of Cr in the ternary alloy leads to an immediate formation of a protective Cr2O3 layer. The fast diffusion of Mn through the bulk HEA material and through the formed Cr2O3 layer compared to the other alloying elements is considered as the rate-limiting process.
The refractory chemically complex alloy (rCCA) AlMo0.5NbTa0.5TiZr, with a density of 7.4 g/cm3, shows a compressive ultimate strength of 772 MPa at 1000 °C, comparatively surpassing Ni-base and other rCCAs. Its dual-phase microstructure, with a high volume fraction (≈ 62%) of cuboidal and plate-like particles coherently embedded in a continuous matrix, resembles the well-known pattern of the γ/γ" in Ni-base superalloys. Its developers have thus implied that it could stand as structural alloy for high temperature (HT) applications. Here, we report the HT creep properties and the underlying microstructural changes of the rCCA AlMo0.5NbTa0.5TiZr to propose deformation and degradation micromecanisms for this regime. The material was produced by arc-melting and subsequently heat treated in argon: at 1400 °C for 24 h plus a hot isostatic pressure treatment at 1370 °C and 170 MPa for 4 h, with a cooling rate of 10 K/min. Miniaturized tensile specimens (≈ 28 x 7 x 2 mm) were cut and polished to a quality of 1 μm. Creep tests were conducted in vacuum in the respective temperature and stress range 800-1200 °C and 30-120 MPa. For observation, thin slices were extracted from the gauge length, away from the fracture surface, grinded to a thickness of 100 μm, and electropolished to electron transparency. The microstructure was observed on the electropolished specimens using scanning (S) as well as transmission (T) electron microscopy (EM). The Norton plot gives Norton exponents of about 3.1 and 3.2 for temperatures of 1000 and 1100 °C, respectively. Curiously, creep rate minima are very close for a stress level of 30. The starting microstructure reflects a macroscopically lean coarse grain structure and a microscopically fine-meshed basketweave structure with coherency dislocations only around coarsened particles usually close to subgrain boundaries. Results are discussed on the base of variations of this starting microstructure after interrupted and ruptured creep tests.
The presentation shows the results of high cycle fatigue (HCF) tests from the aluminium alloy EN AW-2618A. This study investigates the mean stress influence in the T61 condition and the effect of overaging. For this purpose, axial HCF tests were carried out at room temperature and different stress ratios (R=-1, R=0.1) as well as with overaged conditions (T61+10h@230°C, T61+1000h@230°C). After completion of the tests, the fracture surfaces were examined to study crack initiation.
