ür die Berücksichtigung mechanischer Belastungen unterhalb der Streckgrenze ist im Rahmen einer zuverlässigen Bauteilauslegung die Kenntnis der elastischen Konstanten von besonderer Bedeutung. Für die experimentelle Bestimmung des Elastizitätsmoduls wurde eine Vielzahl von Verfahren entwickelt, die zum Teil werkstoffspezifisch Eingang in die Normung gefunden haben.
Prinzipiell können diese Verfahren in zwei Gruppen unterteilt werden: die statischen und die dynamischen Prüfverfahren. Die statischen Verfahren beruhen auf der direkten Messung des Spannungs-Dehnungs-Zusammenhangs während einer mechanischen Belastung im elastischen Verformungsbereich (Zug, Biegung, Druck). Die dynamischen Verfahren basieren auf der Schwingungsanregung eines Prüfkörpers und der Analyse der resultierenden Schwingungen (Resonanzmethode oder Impulsanregungsmethode) oder auf der Messung der Ultraschallausbreitungsgeschwindigkeit.
Stellvertretend für die dynamischen Verfahren wird im ersten Teil dieses Beitrages die Resonanzmethode vorgestellt. Der zweite Teil dieses Beitrages fasst die werkstoffabhängigen Ergebnisse der E-Modulbestimmung mit statischen Verfahren im Zug- und Biegeversuch zusammen.
The increasing application of supermartensitic steels for welded pipelines is an economical alternative to the hitherto used higher-alloyed materials in the North Sea oil and gas indus-try. Failure in such constructions must at any rate be excluded for economical and ecologi-cal reasons. The application of these steels for the transport of corrosive mixtures may, however, involve hydrogen pickup with subsequent hydrogen-assisted stress corrosion cracking. It is therefore necessary not only to assure the weldability, but particularly to have best possible knowledge of the service behaviour and of the failure risk. In order to ensure the transferability of test results to real joined components, innovative test methods are in-creasingly required to be incorporated into a closed test sequence. It will be demonstrated how it is possible to gain significant advantages from the direct comparison between ex-perimentally determined results from component weld tests on the one hand and material-specific data from small-scale tests on the other hand and numerical simulations. These data that have now been made available are of major importance for industrial applications and are considered to provide a sound basis for realistic lifetime assessments.
During focused ion beam microscopy (FIB) of crystalline materials imaging contrast and milling result are effected by orientation of the crystals with respect to the incident ion beam. This is due to the possibility of ion channeling along preferred crystal directions which effects the depth at which interaction between ions and specimen atoms takes place. As a result of channeling emission of ion induced secondary electrons (iiSE) and secondary ions (SI) as well as the sputter rate decreases.
Theoretical channeling orientations and critical angles can be calculated.
These effects have been studied quantitatively for polycrystalline recrystallized Cu as a typical model case.
The competitive growth of columnar grains in a single-grain selector, which is used for directional solidification of single-crystal blades from nickel-based superalloys, has been investigated by electron backscattered diffraction and local X-ray diffraction analysis. It has been found that the competitive grain growth in a starter block is determined by the crystallographic factor: rapidly growing grains with the axial orientation close to the [001] direction dominate in this part of the casting. For the competitive grain growth in a helicoidal separator, the geometric factor (the position of a grain at the input of the separator) is also important. The results obtained suggest that an appropriate geometry of the single-grain selector was chosen. In addition, the distribution of the orientations of columnar grains obtained by electron backscattered diffraction, can be used for approximate estimation of the yield of suitable (i.e., with the deviation of the axial orientation from the [001] direction within a specified tolerance) single-crystal blades.
Fatigue crack propagation investigations have been performed in austenitic-ferritic duplex stainless steel H22N5M3 in air and during hydrogen charging, using various frequencies of loading. Strong differences of crack propagation velocity depending on the test conditions were noticed. Lower frequency with applied hydrogen charging led to the huge increase of crack propagation velocity compared to the tests performed in air. To understand such a behaviour in each case and characterize crack mode, the samples were observed using electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD). It was shown that in air, the fatigue crack propagation involved plastic deformation and the resulting cracks had ductile character. The presence of hydrogen led to more brittle mode of cracking. This effect was also connected with frequency of loading: lower frequency, which assured longer time for hydrogen-crack tip interaction, resulted in the highest crack propagation velocity and the brittle cracking mode with lower amount of plastic deformation. The performed observations indicated that the path of the crack went mostly transgranularly through both austenite and ferrite phases. Phase and grain boundaries were not the preferred paths for crack propagation.
Interphase boundary characterization in duplex steel and iron meteorites using EBSD technique
(2006)
The properties of materials are mainly described by the orientation distribution of the crystalline phases in a material. Beside the so considered anisotropy also the grain as well as phase boundaries are of extreme importance for a whole string of properties, e.g. the strength of a material. On the example of the interface between fcc and bcc iron the discovered and derived models are discussed. Although the common models are based on the crystal lattice description, the atomic configuration on the interface is analysed. Since experimentally a wide spread of orientations data appears the consideration of the frequency distribution is proposed to find at least the main orientation relationship between fcc and bcc. High-indexed pole figures as well as the Euler subspace are introduced in order to increase the accuracy and to compare different measurements. For the sake of simplicity EBSD measurements on iron meteorites are used since they commonly consist of large fcc single crystals which transformed to a low and very specific number of bcc grains. In special cases the described procedure could also be used for steels.
The hydrogen influence on the microstructure of the austenitic-ferritic Cr22-Ni5-Mo3 stainless steel was investigated. Cathodic hydrogen charging was performed electrochemically from aqueous solution of 0.1M H2SO4 with hydrogen entry promoter addition. The aim of this study was to reveal microstructural changes appearing during the hydrogen charging and particularly to clarify the occurrence of phase transformations induced by hydrogen. The specific changes in both phases of steel were observed. In the ferritic phase, strong increase of dislocation density was noticed. Longer time of hydrogen charging leaded also to the strips and twin plates formation in ferrite phase. In the austenitic phase, the generation of stacking faults, followed by the formation of α' martensite was remarked.
Im Rahmen eines DFG-Forschungsvorhabens (FOR 537) wird ein Teilprojekt an der BAM bearbeitet. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die quantitative Beschreibung und Bewertung des Korrosionsfortschrittes an Stahlproben mit kleinen Kathodenflächen (Eigenkorrosion) mittels elektrochemischer Messungen. Für die Untersuchungen wurden Betonproben mit eingebetteten Stahlelektroden hergestellt. Dabei wurden gezielt betontechnologische Parameter variiert. Dabei ist der Beton als Elektrolyt zu betrachten. Nach bestimmten Zeitintervallen werden die Betonproben aufgebrochen und die eingebetteten Stahlelektroden durch visuelle Inspektion und anschließende Bestimmung des Masseverlustes bewertet. Zur Charakterisierung des Betons (Elektrolyt) dient das Verfahren der Quecksilberporosimetrie. Mit dem Verfahren lassen sich die Zusammenhänge zwischen den betontechnologischen Parametern und der Porenstruktur aufzeigen und mittels der umfangreichen Variation der Betonparameter die Auswirkung auf den Korrosionsfortschritt nachweisen.
Ultrahochfeste Betone (UHPC) sind durch Druckfestigkeiten > 150 MPa und eine besonders hohe Dauerhaftigkeit gekennzeichnet. Ihre Herstellung gelingt durch die Optimierung der Mischungszusammensetzung, des Mischprozesses und der Nachbehandlung. Maßnahmen dazu bestehen in der Verwendung feinstgemahlener Zemente, puzzolanischer und inerter Feinststoffe, dem Einsatz gezielt ausgewählter grober und feiner Gesteinskörnungen, der Reduktion des Wasser/Bindemittel-Wertes bei Zugabe von Fließmitteln auf Polycarboxylat-Basis sowie einer Wärmebehandlung der Betone.
Das Ziel dabei ist es, eine möglichst hohe Packungsdichte in der Bindemittelmatrix bei Ausbildung einer sehr gleichmäßigen und extrem dichten Gefügestruktur mit einem hohen Anteil an Calciumsilicathydrat-Phasen zu erreichen. Deshalb sind Untersuchungen zur Porosität und Porenstruktur ein wichtiger Bestandteil zur Materialcharakterisierung im Rahmen der Mischungsoptimierung. Die Ergebnisse der Mikrostrukturuntersuchungen werden im Vergleich zu denen an einem hochfesten Beton und einem Normalbeton betrachtet.
