The evaluation of technical components and materials in terms of condition and quality with the aid of non-destructive testing methods plays an outstanding role both in industrial serial production and in the individual assessment of components. The ultrasonic echo method is used for a wide variety of testing tasks, such as measuring the thickness of a component. At the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) in Berlin, test methods are developed and their performance is demonstrated. For this purpose, references such as materials, test procedures or data sets are generated, which are used to evaluate these developed test methods. An important component of these references are data sets that are created according to the BAM Data Policy and made available to the scientific community and users of test methods in practice on the basis of the FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse).
In order to detect small and hidden material defects or micro-cracks, weak and localized magnetic stray fields need to be detected and characterized on the magnetic surface. Current flux leakage sensor elements are rigid and rely on air gaps to detect stray fields several hundred micrometers above the surface. Furthermore, the increasing complexity of critical components, enabled by novel fabrication technologies, primarily additive manufacturing, poses a significant challenge to the available flux leakage testing technologies.
The emergence of flexible magneto-electronics paves the way to a compliant form of magnetic sensors that, on one hand, are able to adapt to highly curved surfaces, allowing these measurements to be conducted on irregularly formed components, which are inaccessible for nowadays electromagnetic NDT equipment and, on the other hand, could enhance the detection limit for small magnetic stray fields, by allowing the magneto-sensitive elements to approximate the object’s surface until only a few µm, mediated by thin and flexible packaging.
A recent upgrade of key equipment of the BAMline widens its imaging capabilities: shorter scan acquisition times are now possible, in situ and operando studies can now be routinely performed, and different energy spectra can easily be set up. In fact, the upgraded double-multilayer monochromator brings full flexibility by yielding different energy spectra to optimize flux and energy resolution as desired.
Als bildgebendes und zerstörungsfreies Verfahren eignet sich die Röntgen-Computertomographie (CT) insbesondere bei der Untersuchung von Kunst- und Kulturgütern. Die für Werkstoffprüfung und Materialanalyse konzipierten CT-Anlagen bieten dank hoher Röntgenleistung die Möglichkeit zusätzlich zu Holz, Keramiken und Kunststoffen auch stark schwächende Materialien, wie bspw. Metalle, zu durchdringen. Für eine hohe räumliche Auflösung im unteren Mikrometerbereich (2-200µm) sorgen entsprechend ausgelegte CT-Anlagen. In der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) stehen mehrere solcher CT-Anlagen für unterschiedliche Fragestellungen sowie Probengrößen und - materialien zur Verfügung. Einige Beispiele aus den vergangenen Arbeiten der BAM veranschaulichen das große Potential dieser Untersuchungsmethode.
Da bei einer CT-Messung in der Regel das gesamte Untersuchungsobjekt erfasst und in ein digitales Volumenmodell überführt wird, eröffnet sich für Archäologen und Restoratoren die Möglichkeit Untersuchungen hinsichtlich Materialzusammensetzung, Erhaltungszustand und Herstellungstechnik am virtuellen Objekt vorzunehmen, ohne die Originalsubstanz zu beeinträchtigen. Gegenüber der klassischen Radiografie, bei der nur eine zweidimensionale Abbildung erreicht wird, bietet die CT-Untersuchung die Möglichkeit innenliegende Strukturen dreidimensional zu erfassen. Die notwendige Bestimmung der Objektoberfläche erlaubt zudem die Erstellung eines Oberflächenmodells des untersuchten Gegenstandes. Damit lassen sich unter anderem mechanische Simulationen (Belastung, Durchbiegung, Durchströmung) durchführen. Der erzeugte Datensatz kann somit auch zur Herstellung eines Replikats im 3D-Druckverfahren genutzt werden. Anhand der Untersuchung der Mandoline von Smorsone wird gezeigt, wie eine CT-Messung durchgeführt wird und wie in dem anschließend rekonstruierten 3D-Datensatz mittels Koordinatenmesstechnik Maße (Abstände, Wandstärken, Winkel) exakt ermittelt werden können.
The availability of high-performance Al alloys in AM is limited due to difficulties in printability, requiring both the development of synergetic material and AM process to mitigate problems such as solidification cracking during laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The goal of this work was to investigate the failure mechanism in a LPBF 7017 Aluminium alloy + 3 wt% Zr + 0.5 wt% TiC. The processing leads to different categories of Zr-rich inclusions, precipitates and defects.
The majority of ultrasonic devices used for non-destructive testing in civil engineering require contact with the surface of the concrete (specimen), which significantly increases the time required for the measurement. This makes it impractical for extensive investigation of large-scale structures such as bridge decks, foundations, or tunnels.
In a pioneering approach, fluidic oscillators are used as contact
free ultrasonic sources to overcome the aforementioned limitations. These robust and cost-effective actuators require only pressurised air and are ideally suited for harsh environments. At a constant supply pressure, they generate a continuous monofrequent actuation signal. Further, varying the supply pressure via a fast pressure regulator was found to generate a frequency modulated signal which enabled time-of-flight measurement with an added advantage of increased signal to noise ratio. To demonstrate the feasibility of this novel idea of non-contact ultrasound, the results of the initial tests are presented.
Bei der simulationsunterstützten Planung kritischer Ultraschallprüfaufgaben ist die detaillierte Kenntnis der Parameter der eingesetzten Prüfköpfe von entscheidender Bedeutung. Durch die, in den Regelwerken (DIN EN ISO 22232-2) zugelassenen Toleranzen bei der Herstellung der Prüfköpfe sind einige Prüfkopfparameter nur ungefähr bekannt. Durch die Alterung von Prüfköpfen und Verschleiß können auch Parameter variieren, die nicht vollständig durch die erforderliche Justierung ausgeglichen werden können. Daher sind zusätzlichen Vorversuche oft unvermeidlich. In dieser Arbeit wurden nach einer statistischen Versuchsplanung (DoE) Untersuchungen zur relativen Echo-Empfindlichkeit von konventionellen Prüfköpfen durchgeführt. Die Auswertung wurde für prüfkopfbezogene und personenbezogene Stichproben durchgeführt. Es wird gezeigt, wie weit die Daten um den Zentralwert herum verteilt sind bzw. wie sehr sich das Testobjekt im untersuchten Merkmal unterscheidet. Gerade in Hinblick auf die Beurteilung der intrinsischen Fähigkeit von Prüfverfahren und der Human Factors wird das POD-Analysekonzept zur quantitativen Bewertung der Zuverlässigkeit weiterentwickelt. Die HF-Quantifizierung bezieht sich auf verschiedene Faktoren und Methoden, die in der Veröffentlichung von M. Bertovic et al. [1] ausführlich beschrieben wurden. Die Schritte, die für das Bewertungsverfahren zur POD-Analyse erforderlich sind, werden in der Veröffentlichung von D. Kanzler et al. [2] detailliert dargestellt. Die grundlegenden Anforderungen an die Testkörpersätze für die POD-Analyse wurden in der Publikation von A. Jüngert et al. [3] zusammengefasst. Diesbezüglich wurden mit Hilfe von Simulationsrechnungen die möglichen Abweichungen an Beispielen der im Projekt norm- POD ausgewählten Prüfanordnungen dargestellt. Die Ergebnisse wurden Messungen an Testkörpern gegenübergestellt.
The European Metrology Network (EMN) for Advanced Manufacturing has been established in June 2021. Currently nine EMNs focussing on different important topics of strategic importance for Europe exist and form an integral part of EURAMET, the European Association of National Metrology Institutes (NMI). EMNs are tasked to ▪ develop a high-level coordination of the metrology community in Europe in a close dialogue with the respective stakeholders (SH)
▪ develop a strategic research agenda (SRA) within their thematic areas
▪ provide contributions to the European Partnership on Metrology research programme Based on the analysis of existing metrology infrastructures and capabilities of NMIs, the metrology research needs for advanced manufacturing are identified in close cooperation with academic, governmental and industrial stakeholders.
Here, we report on the progress of the EMN for Advanced Manufacturing.
The BAMline at the synchrotron X-ray source BESSY II (Berlin, Germany) is supporting researchers in a wide range of research areas since more than 20 years. These fields include biology, cultural heritage, medicine, and also materials science. As a non-destructive characterization method, synchrotron X-ray imaging, especially tomography with hard X-Rays, plays an important role in structural 3D characterization. A recent upgrade of key equipment at the BAMline expands the imaging capabilities towards shorter acquisition times. Therefore, in-situ and operando experiments can now be routinely conducted. Also, different energy resolutions can be set up to optimize flux and energy resolution as desired. This requires an adaptation of the used reconstruction methods in order to perform necessary analyses also during the experiment. In this presentation the equipment, data handling pipeline as well as various examples from material science are presented.
The BAMline at the 3rd generation synchrotron X-ray source BESSY II has been supporting researchers in a wide range of research areas for over 20 years. In addition to materials science, these fields also include biology, cultural heritage, and medicine. Being a non-destructive characterization method, synchrotron X-ray imaging, in particular tomography (SXCT), plays a particularly important role in structural characterization. A recent upgrade of key BAMline equipment expands the imaging capabilities: The upgraded dual multilayer monochromator offers flexibility by providing different energy spectra to optimize flux and energy resolution as desired. Different spectra (8 – 60 keV with ΔE/E 0.01%, 1.5%, 4% and pink beam) can be selected. The upgraded detector (in white beam configuration, equipped with an sCMOS camera) allows the higher flux to be exploited with reduced readout times. Shorter tomographic acquisition times in the range of seconds are now possible. Hence, in-situ and operando examinations are routinely available. An integrated slip ring allows continuous rotation of the sample stage for ease of wiring. The pink beam option allows tomographic observation of processes occurring in the time domain of a few seconds with a resolution down to ~ 1 µm. Different scan methods, optimized for quality and speed are available and discussed. Examples of energy related materials from fuel cell and battery research are shown.
An optional end station allows refraction enhanced imaging (synchrotron X-Ray refraction radiography (SXRR) and tomography (SXRCT)). That includes an analyzer Si-crystal in Bragg alignment between sample and detector. This technique obtains sensitivity to smaller structures (cracks, pores) down to a few wavelengths, while obtaining field of view sizes in the range of several mm. Besides medicine (e.g., teeth explants), several applications are found in material science, like studies on diesel particulate filters, ceramics, additively manufactured (AM) alloys and metal matrix composites (MMC). The in-situ capabilities include mechanical load (tension and compression) and heating up to 1100°C. A case study, the microstructural evolution during heat treatment of an AM AlSi10Mg, will be shown.
