High-strength low-alloyed (HSLA) steels with yield strength ≥ 690 MPa have increasing importance in steel construction and civil engineering. However, weld processing of those steels is a major challenge. The susceptibility for degradation of mechanical properties of weld joints significantly increases in presence of hydrogen and can result in hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC). Generally, risk for HAC increases with increasing yield strength of HSLA steels. To minimize the incidence of HAC, it is essential to gain knowledge about both the (1) absorbed hydrogen amount and its distribution in the weld seam and (2) options to lower
the amount of introduced hydrogen. Existing standards recommend heat treatment procedures (interpass temperature or post weld heat treatment) to reduce the diffusible hydrogen concentration in weldments. In this context, different weld seam geometries should be considered. For HSLA steel fabrication weld processing with seam opening angles of 45° to 60° is typical. Modern weld technologies allow welding with seam opening angles of 30° - reduced welding time and costs. In the present study, the hydrogen distribution in multi-layer welds of a 960 MPa HSLA steel was analysed. Influence of different seam opening angles as well as heat input, interpass temperature and post weld heat treatments were investigated. The welded samples were quenched in ice water immediately after welding and subsequently stored in liquid nitrogen. After defined warming up, small specimens were machined from the weld seam by water jet cutting. The diffusible hydrogen concentration was measured by carrier gas hot extraction with coupled mass spectrometer. The results showed, that low heat input and post weld heat treatment procedures can lower hydrogen concentrations in welds. Furthermore, a gradient of the hydrogen concentration was
identified with increasing weld pool depth. By varying the seam opening angles different hydrogen concentrations were
measured.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) of metals has become industrially viable for a large variety of applications, including aerospace, automotive and medicine. Powder bed techniques such as Selective Laser Melting (SLM) based on layer-by-layer deposition and laser melt enable numerous degrees of freedom for the geometrical design. Developing during the manufacturing process, residual stresses may limit the application of SLM parts by reducing the load bearing capacity as well as induce unwanted distortion depending on the boundary conditions specified in manufacturing.
The residual stress distribution in the bulk of IN718 elongated prisms produced by SLM was studied non-destructively by means of neutron diffraction. The samples with different scanning strategies, i.e. hatching length, were measured in as-build condition (on a build plate) and after removal from the build plate.
The absolute values of all stress components decreased after removal from the build plate. Together with surface scan utilizing a coordinate-measuring machine (CMM), it is possible to link the stress release to the sample distortion. Obtained results indicated different residual stress states for each of the transversal, longitudinal and normal component depending on the thermal gradient in the respective direction.
Hybrides Auftragschweißen: Potentiale des laserunterstützten Plasma-Pulver-Auftragschweißens (PTA)
(2018)
In diesem Beitrag wurden Untersuchungen zu einem neuartigen hybriden Laser-Plasma-Beschichtungsverfahren vorgestellt. Mit dem Ziel, die Produktivität und Wirtschaftlichkeit von Korrosions- und Verschleißschutzschichten zu steigern, wurde das kostengünstige PTA-Verfahren durch einen Laser als zweite Energiequelle ergänzt. Die vorlaufende Laserstrahlung stabilisiert den Plasmalichtbogen und ermöglicht erst eine Auftragsschweißung bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten. Die hohen Auftragraten von 4,2-5,7 kg/h bei gleichzeitig Streckenenergien von 630-720 J/cm zeigen das mögliche Potential des vorgestellten hybriden Ansatzes. In weiteren Untersuchungen muss der Prozess z.B. in Bezug auf die Oberflächenwelligkeit der Beschichtungen über eine Parameteroptimierung weiter verbessert werden. Nach den bisherigen gesammelten Erfahrungen mit dem Hybridprozess ist davon auszugehen, dass durch eine Anpassung der Energiedichteverteilung das Lasers, die Prozessgeschwindigkeiten noch einmal gesteigert werden können.
In this contribution the mechanisms of formation and current applications of LIPSS are reviewed, including the colorization of technical surfaces, the control of surface wetting properties, the mimicry of the natural texture of animal integuments, the tailoring of surface colonization by bacterial biofilms, and the improvement of the tribological performance of nanostructured metal surfaces.
Hydrogen absorption and diffusion in T24 steel weld joints and effect on mechanical properties
(2018)
The present contribution summarizes results obtained from experiments with low-alloyed boiler steel grades T24 (CrMoV alloy), T22 (CrMo) and thermally simulated T24 HAZ microstructure and pure weld metal. The hydrogen absorption and diffusion behavior was investigated by permeation experiments and thermal desorption analysis (TDA). The results showed significant weld microstructure influence on diffusion by hydrogen trapping. Trapped hydrogen was determined in the T24 BM at temperatures up to 120 °C compared to 75 °C in the T22. In addition, the T24 HAZ showed decreased diffusion coefficients (at room temperature) of approximately one magnitude compared to the BM. For the mechanical properties, tensile tests were conducted with electrochemically hydrogen charged specimens and compared to results obtained from slow strain rate tests (SSRT) in high-temperature water up to 200 °C. The as-welded HAZ had remarkably increased susceptibility compared to the BM already at low hydrogen concentration of 1-2 ppm. The SSRT were conducted for free corrosion and acidic environment and confirmed this behavior at elevated temperatures for both HAZ microstructures of T24 and T22. Summarized, each weld microstructure has specific diffusion coefficients and shows different susceptibility to degradation of the mechanical properties, i.e. delayed hydrogen assisted cracking or stress corrosion cracking.
In the article considered the problem of hot cracks occurrence during laser welding process. The main reason of their appearance is strain. The optical method for measuring full field strain locally near the solidification front during laser welding process is proposed. The proposed method of optical measurement allows to determine the real values of the critical strain for various materials characterizing the occurrence of hot cracks in laser welding process.
During the energy transformation from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, the use of hydrogen as fuel and energy storage can play a key role. This presents new challenges to industry and the scientific community alike. The storage and transport of hydrogen, which is nowadays mainly realized by austenitic stainless steels, remains problematic, which is due to the degradation of mechanical properties and the possibility of phase transformation by hydrogen diffusion and accumulation. The development of materials and technologies requires a fundamental understanding of these degradation processes. Therefore, studying the behavior of hydrogen in austenitic steel contributes to an understanding of the damage processes, which is crucial for both life assessment and safe use of components in industry and transportation. As one of the few tools that is capable of depicting the distribution of hydrogen in steels, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry was conducted after electrochemical charging. To obtain further information about the structural composition and cracking behavior, electron-backscattered diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were performed. Gathered data of chemical composition and topography were treated employing data fusion, thus creating a comprehensive portrait of hydrogen-induced effects in the austenite grade AISI 304L. Specimens were electrochemically charged with deuterium instead of hydrogen. This arises from the difficulties to distinguish between artificially charged hydrogen and traces existing in the material or the rest gas in the analysis chamber. Similar diffusion and permeation behavior, as well as solubility, allow nonetheless to draw conclusions from the experiments.
Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) as a technology for additive manufacturing allows the production of large components outside of closed working chambers. Industrial applications require a stable process as well as a constant deposition of the filler material in order to ensure uniform volume growth and reproducible mechanical properties. This paper deals with the influence of travel path strategies on temperature profile and material deposition. Meandering and spiral hatching strategies are used in the center as well as in the edge of a specimen. The temperature is measured with thermocouples attatched to the backside of the specimen. The tests are carried out on the materials S235JR and 316L. The results show a strong dependence of the maximum temperatures on the travel path strategy and the welding position on the component.
The monitoring of oil and gas pipelines by means of distributed fibre optic sensors is becoming common. The most recent development in the field of fibre optic sensing is the distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), which allows to detect and to localize third party threats to pipelines. For this purpose, fibre optic telecommunication cables located close to the pipelines are usually used. However, DAS carries a far greater potential for continuous condition monitoring of pipelines.
The interdisciplinary research project AGIFAMOR (Ageing Infrastructures – Fibre Optic Monitoring of Pipes) at BAM investigates a new technical approach to extend the application field of DAS towards the detection and localization of acoustic signals that indicate critical alterations and certain damage scenarios originated from within the pipeline or the pipe wall. Therefore, the optical fibre sensors are applied onto the pipe itself and the application procedure towards an optimal acoustic signal transduction is optimized.
A number of laboratory scale experiments were performed focusing on the signal transmission of acoustic signals as well as the detection of damages in the pipe wall by means of DAS. Furthermore, real-scale tests on a pipeline DN100 of 38m length have been carried out at the BAM test site for technical safety (BAM-TTS) to study the detection and localization of leaks and of changing flow profiles due to corrosion or sedimentation processes.
Das bislang zur Vermeidung unzulässiger Wurzelüberhöhungen beim Laserstrahlschweißen von Aluminiumlegierungen bzw. austenitischem Stahl eingesetzte Verfahren der elektromagnetischen Schmelzbadstütze konnte innerhalb der vorliegenden Untersuchung erfolgreich zur Kompensation des hydrostatischen Druckes von ferromagnetischen Stählen übertragen werden. Es wurden dabei Laserstrahlschweißversuche in PA-Position an bis zu 20 mm dickem Duplexstahl 1.4462 sowie Baustahl S235JR durchgeführt. Unter konstanten Schweißparametern wurden Durchschweißungen generiert. Dem hydrostatischen Druck wurde unter Verwendung der Technologie zur elektromagnetischen Schmelzbadunterstützung durch Variation der Oszillationsfrequenz und der AC-Leistung des Magnetsystems entgegengewirkt.
Zunächst konzentrierten sich die Versuche auf den Duplexstahl 1.4462, welcher jeweils aus 50 % Ferrit und Austenit besteht. Hierbei konnte festgestellt werden, dass zur idealen Kompensation von 15 mm bei einer Frequenz von 1,7 kHz eine AC-Leistung von 1,6 kW erforderlich ist, die Schweißnähte aber bereits bei einer AC-Leistung von ca. 0,8 kW in die Bewertungsgruppe B der DIN EN ISO 13919-1:1996-09 eingeordent werden können. Zur idealen Kompensation des hydrostatischen Druckes bei 20 mm dickem Duplexstahl war eine um 20 % höhere AC-Leistung notwendig. Im Anschluss an die Versuche mit dem Duplexstahl wurden die Untersuchungen auf bis zu 20 mm dicke Proben aus Baustahl S235JR erweitert. Für 15 mm konnten die Schweißnähte bei einer Frequenz von 1,7 kHz ab einer AC-Leistung von 1,3 kW in die Bewertungsgruppe B eingeordnet werden. Zur idealen Kompensation von 20 mm dickem Baustahl war eine AC-Leistung von 1,6 kW bei einer Frequenz von 636 Hz nötig. Mit steigender AC-Leistung konnte in allen Versuchsreihen eine sukzessive Verringerung
der Wurzelüberhöhung demonstriert werden.
Automatisierungs- und Regelkonzepte für das MSG-Engspaltschweißen - Pendel- und Füllgradregelung
(2018)
Das MSG-Engspaltschweißen eignet sich auf Grund der I-Nahtvorbereitung besonders für das wirtschaftliche Fügen bei hohen Blechdicken über 100 mm und bietet darüber hinaus zusätzliche technologische Vorteile. Für die automatisierte Anwendung des Verfahrens unter Produktionsbedingungen muss dabei die Prozesssicherheit auch für mitunter große Variationen der Spaltbreite entlang der Schweißnaht gesichert bleiben. In erster Linie betrifft dies bei mechanischer Auslenkung der Drahtelektrode die Adaption der Pendelbewegung auf die jeweilige Spaltbreite um eine ausreichende Flankenanbindung zu garantieren. Für die Online-Regelung der Pendelbewegung mittels Lichtbogensensorik wurde eine Methode implementiert die die notwendigen Pendelwinkel an jeder Nahtflanke unabhängig ermittelt und darüber hinaus Fehlstellungen des Brenners sowie Veränderungen des Kontaktrohrabstandes und der Prozessparameter eigenständig kompensiert. Eine Füllgradregelung auf Grundlage optischer Erfassung und Auswertung der Schweißnahtgeometrie wurde zusätzlich eingesetzt um bei veränderlichen Nahtquerschnittsflächen einen vorgegebenen, gleichbleibenden Lagenaufbau zu erzielen.
The aim of the study presented in this paper is to highlight the potential of niobium carbide cutting tool inserts for machining and to compare their performance to commercially available tungsten carbide inserts. In this work, a comparison between a conventional Wc-Co insert and NbC-Co inserts was carried out under hard machining conditions on specimens made of 100Cr6 bearing steel grade (SAE 52100).
Full densification of Fe, Co and Ni bonded NbC based cermet’s was achieved by pressure less liquid phase sintering in vacuum for one hour at 1420°C. The hardness and toughness of the NbC matrix cermet’s can be mainly tailored by the binder composition and secondary carbide additions. Ni binder based NbC cermet’s allow the combination of high hardness and improved toughness. The addition of lesser amounts of VC/Cr3C2 in a NbC partially substituted WC-Co cemented carbide increased significantly the hardness in combination with a moderate fracture toughness.
The tribological characteristics of pure and graphite filled polymers were investigated in gaseous hydrogen at ambient temperatures and in LH2 at -253°C. It could be shown that the tribological properties of PI and PEEK materials is related to the formation of a transfer film. The influence of both hydrogen and cryogenic temperatures will be discussed in the presentation.
In a first test series, the friction and wear properties of 6 polymeric candidate materials for application in LNG tribosystems were tested. The most favorable properties showed PTFE composite, filled with carbon fibers and PEEK, which showed low and stable friction and a wear coefficient in the order of 10-7 mm3N-1m-1. PTFE containing PEEK composites seem to be also appropriate for LNG applications. Admixtures of graphite as solid lubricant result in lower wear. Contrary, a lubricating mechanism of MoS2 was not observed. The PI-materials showed comparatively high friction and medium wear.
The wear rates of self-mated alumina couples show that friction as well as wear is largely determined by the above-mentioned hydro-thermal conditions. The presence of water and its amount available in the surrounding system either in liquid or in gaseous form plays a key role for friction and wear behavior and can be beneficial for the tribological profile of steam degradation resistant materials. Hot steam enhances the tribo-chemical formations of oxides and hydroxides on MgO-ZrO2 alumina and antimony impregnated carbon.
