Die klassische Metallographie basiert auf Abbildungen einzelner Schliffebenen und kann auf räumliche Formen und Anordnungen des Gefüges nur bedingt schließen. Die Idee, aus metallographischen Serienschliffen dreidimensionale Gefügestrukturen zu rekonstruieren, ist daher naheliegend und nicht neu. Allerdings ist der Aufwand, in Handarbeit viele Einzel-Schliffe zu präparieren und zu Bildstapeln zusammenzusetzen, sehr hoch und steht einer häufigen Anwendung entgegen.
Deshalb wird an der BAM ein Roboter-gestütztes 3D-Metallographie-System entwickelt, das an einer Schliffprobe die Schritte Präparation und Bildeinzug vollautomatisch mit vielen Wiederholungen ausführt. Die Präparation umfasst Schleifen, Polieren und optional Ätzen der Schlifffläche, der Bildeinzug autofokussierte lichtmikroskopische Aufnahmen bei mehreren Vergrößerungsstufen. Der erhaltene Bildstapel wird anschließend vorverarbeitet, segmentiert und in ein 3D-Modell umgesetzt, das einer mikrotomographischen Aufnahme ähnelt, allerdings mit besserer lateraler Auflösung bei großem Volumen. Im Gegensatz zu tomographischen Verfahren besteht die Möglichkeit der Kontrastierung durch klassische chemische Ätzung. Die Integration eines REMs ist geplant. Bislang durchgeführte Arbeiten verdeutlichen die Möglichkeiten der Darstellung von Heißgas-Korrosionsschichten, Grauguss-Werkstoffen und Keramik-basierten mikroelektronischen Strukturen (Vias).
Die AG Fraktographie im DVM/DGM-Gemeinschaftsgremium „Elektronenmikroskopie in der Materialforschung“ betreibt seit 2013 eine fraktographische online-Datenbank („FractoDB“), die für das interessierte Fachpublikum kostenfrei zur Verfügung steht. Die Analyse und Bewertung von Bruchflächen und der darauf befindlichen Bruchmerkmale ist ein wichtiger Teilaspekt der Schadensanalyse bei der Suche nach Schadensmechanismen und Schadensursachen. Risse und Brüche an realen Bauteilen können nur dann bewertet werden, wenn gut dokumentierte Vergleichsbrüche aus Laborversuchen zur Verfügung stehen, sei es an Proben oder an Vergleichs-Bauteilen. Daher trägt die AG Fraktographie Bildmaterial zusammen, führt systematisch Laborversuche und Ringversuche durch und analysiert Brüche aus Schadensfällen. Die gewonnenen Daten werden zu Datensätzen zusammengestellt und über die Datenbank zugänglich gemacht. Derzeit ist ein Bestand von über 400 Datensätzen mit insgesamt über 4.500 Bildern verfügbar, welcher durchsucht werden kann und in Anlehnung an die VDI 3822 organisiert ist. Weitere Aktivitäten der AG Fraktographie, die in der FractoDB abgebildet werden, sind u.a. die Entwicklung einer fraktographischen Symbolik und die Analyse von Bruchmerkmalen mittels Machine Learning. Über die aktuellen Ergebnisse und Planungen wird berichtet.
In failure analysis, micro-fractographic analysis of fracture surfaces is usually performed based on practical knowledge which is gained from available studies, own comparative tests, from the literature, as well as online databases. Based on comparisons with already existing images, fracture mechanisms are determined qualitatively. These images are mostly two-dimensional and obtained by light optical and scanning electron imaging techniques. So far, quantitative assessments have been limited to macrocopically determined percentages of fracture types or to the manual measurement of fatigue striations, for example. Recently, more and more approaches relying on computer algorithms have been taken, with algorithms capable of finding and classifying differently structured fracture characteristics. For the Industrial Collective Research (Industrielle Gemeinschaftsforschung, IGF) project “iFrakto” presented in this paper, electron-optical images are obtained, from which topographic information is calculated. This topographic information is analyzed together with the conventional 2D images. Analytical algorithms and deep learning are used to analyze and evaluate fracture characteristics and are linked to information from a fractography database. The most important aim is to provide software aiding in the application of fractography for failure analysis. This paper will present some first results of the project.
The round robin test investigated the reliability users can expect for AlSi10Mg additive manufactured specimens by laser powder bed fusion through examining powder quality, process parameter, microstructure defects, strength and fatigue. Besides for one outlier, expected static material properties could be found. Optical microstructure inspection was beneficial to determine true porosity and porosity types to explain the occurring scatter in properties. Fractographic analyses reveal that the fatigue crack propagation starts at the rough as-built surface for all specimens. Statistical analysis of the scatter in fatigue using statistical derived safety factors concludes that at a stress of 36.87 MPa the fatigue limit of 107 cycles could be reached for all specimen with a survival probability of 99.999 %.
A big problem with the chemistry literature is that it is not standardized with respect to precise operational parameters, and real time corrections are hard to make without expert knowledge. This lack of context means difficult reproducibility because many steps are ambiguous, and hence depend on tacit knowledge. Here we present the integration of online NMR into an automated chemical synthesis machine (CSM aka. “Chemputer” which is capable of small-molecule synthesis using a universal programming language) to allow automated analysis and adjustment of reactions on the fly. The system was validated and benchmarked by using Grignard reactions which were chosen due to their importance in synthesis. The system was monitored in real time using online-NMR, and spectra were measured continuously during the reactions. This shows that the synthesis being done in the Chemputer can be dynamically controlled in response to feedback optimizing the reaction conditions according to the user requirements.
Fatigue failure of a component can occur at service loads considerably lower than the yield strength of the material. Under fatigue loading condition, the material in the vicinity of the tip of a propagating crack repeatedly deforms plastically, leaving microscopic marks on the crack surface, commonly known as fatigue striations. Counting and measuring fatigue striations is a method in estimating the number of loading cycles a component went through until fracture. Some studies suggest a one-to-one relation between the number of fatigue striations and the number of load cycles, but this relation is still debatable, given that there are many factors influencing the formation of those striations. The main purpose of this work is to analyze the influence of microstructure and mechanical strength on the formation of fatigue striations in structural steels, in order to understand how these material properties are related to the fatigue crack behavior. For such, standard Charpy-V samples were subjected to hardness, fatigue and impact testing. Metallography was performed to characterize the microstructure, and a fractographic analysis by using optical and scanning electron microscopy was carried out to investigate the fracture surface. This study shows that steels with higher ductility have a closer one-to-one relation than those with a higher tensile strength. Above a certain level of tensile strength, fatigue striations do form rarely or completely disappear.
Preparation of new bimetallic compounds, including double complex salts (DCSs), containing both a platinumgroup metal and a transition metal of the fourth period is of great interest since these compounds can act as precursors of bimetallic materials. One example of using such compounds is the preparation of ultrafine particles of solid solutions of metals or intermetallic compounds on various supports to fabricate highly efficient catalysts with a low content of noble
metals.
Compounds containing coordinated oxalate anions are important objects of synthetic chemistry and interesting precursors. For example, a lot of attention is given to salts with [M(C2O4)2]2– anions, where M = Co, Ni, Cu, Pt, Pd. On the one hand, the uniqueness of oxalate coordinated anions is due to the fact that they are easily obtained and are stable both in aqueous solutions and in the solid phase; on the other hand, they are thermally decomposed at relatively low temperatures, which makes them promising precursors for the fabrication of metallic and oxide materials.
Volume fraction determination of discretely oriented disc-shaped precipitates in transmission mode
(2017)
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde eine Formel zur Berechnung des Volumenantei ls dis kret orientierter scheibenförmiger Phasen für die Untersuchung im Transmissionsmodus hergeleitet, validiert und mit bereits veröffent lichen Formeln verglichen. Bei diesem Ver gleich konnte gezeigt werden,dass die in zahl reichen Veröffentlichungen benutzte Formel von E. E. Underwood für die Volumenanteils bestimmungbeidiskret orientierten Ausschei dungsphasen nicht benutzt werden sollte, da sie den Volumenanteil deutlich unterschätzt.
Die Ursache liegt in der von E.E. Underwood getroffenen Annahme, dass die kreisförmigen Scheiben regellos angeordnet und nicht aus gerichtet sind, was in Al-Legierungen in der Regel nicht der Fall ist.
Impiego di un dispositivo per il vuoto locale di tipo mobile nell'applicazione del processo laser.
(2016)
Lo sviluppo del pennacchio di vapore durante la saldatura laser
di metalli con direzioni di propagazione lungo l'asse del
fascio laser comporta una riduzione della potenza del laser
assorbita nel keyhole. Questi effetti negativi possono essere
notevolmente attenuati mediante l'applicazione di una ridotta
pressione ambientale, diminuendo così l'interazione
tra il fascio laser ed i prodotti dell'evaporazione, condizione
che favorisce la stabilità del processo di saldatura e si traduce
in una maggiore profondità di penetrazione. Una tecnica
convenzionale utilizza il principio della camera a vuoto, simile
a quello utilizzato per la saldatura a fascio elettronico.
L'applicazione di questa tecnica è limitata dalle dimensioni
della camera e riduce quindi i vantaggi di questo approccio,
particolarmente per componenti di grandi dimensioni. Abbiamo
dimostrato la possibilità di applicazione del vuoto in
forma localizzata con apparecchiature mobili, che consentono
di generare una pressione ridotta solo in una piccola zona
attorno al keyhole. Utilizzando un dispositivo di chiusura
appositamente progettato per la pressione, di tipo mobile,
che può essere spostato lungo l'asse del giunto è possibile ottenere
una pressione assoluta di circa 200 mbar. Questo è
sufficiente per aumentare la profondità di penetrazione di
circa il 50%. I campioni di acciaio grado S355 sono stati
saldati con una potenza laser incrementale da 5 kW a 12
kW a pressione atmosferica e confrontati con quelli saldati
a pressione ambiente di 200 mbar. La valutazione della sezione
longitudinale ha rivelato un aumento della profondità
di penetrazione dei giunti di circa il 35%. Inoltre, sono stati
eseguiti test di saldatura in configurazione di giunti testa a
testa con lamiere di 15 mm di spessore con diverse potenze
associate al fascio laser eseguiti a pressione atmosferica ed
a pressione ambiente ridotta di circa 200 mbar. L'aumento
nella profondità di penetrazione fino al 40% è relativo alla
pressione ridotta. In particolare, basse velocità di saldatura
con pressione ridotta si sono rivelate particolarmente vantaggiose
in termini di aumento della penetrazione.
