Fraktographischen Daten aus Schadensanalysen, Vergleichsversuchen und Vorhaben könnten der Fachöffentlichkeit im Bereich Fraktographie zur Verfügung gestellt werden, sofern das Urheber-recht es zulässt und außerdem ein geeignetes Medium existiert. Ein solches Medium könnte eine offene fraktographische online-Datenbank sein. Eine solche wird im Rahmen der AG Fraktographie im DVM-DGM Gemeinschaftsausschuss "Rasterelektronenmikroskopie in der Materialprüfung" zurzeit erarbeitet.

Odour measurements become increasingly important in view of the assessment of indoor air quality and the emissions of building products. Hence they need to be implemented into evaluation schemes such as the AgBB scheme. While there are already standards like DIN ISO 16000-28 and VDI 4302 Part 1 specifying the procedure of odour measurements using a comparison scale, no final validation of the method has been carried out so far. Therefore, a round robin test was conducted in 2012 with 12 participating laboratories that mainly consisted of the following two parts: 1) testing of the available comparison scales with respect to their operational performance and 2) execution of an odour assessment of an acrylic sealant using emission test chambers. Part one included the measurement of the air flow rates and the provided concentrations of the reference substance (acetone). Part two was conducted to test the performance of the laboratories and the applicability of DIN ISO 16000-28 and supplementary VDI 4302 Part 1 by assessing the perceived intensity and the hedonic tone of the air samples. Moreover, samples for VOC analysis were taken from the air in the emission test chamber on the 7th day of testing to allow for quality control. Resulting from this round robin test main deficits were detected and suggestions for the improvement of the odour measurement procedure were made.
Epoxy/Carbon nanotube (CNT) composites are interesting materials that could be used in a wide variety of applications. In this study, CNT contents of 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 wt% were used for reinforcing epoxy. A nanoindentation device and a temperature regulating system were developed in order to investigate the effect of CNTs on the time-dependent properties of epoxy using relaxations and creep tests on the nano scale. The relaxation tests showed a significant shift for the relaxation spectrum towards shorter times with introducing a low CNT content of 0.25 wt%. Additionally, creep tests showed that both the holding time at a constant load and the unloading velocity have a major effect on the contact stiffness. However, there was no effect for the CNTs on the creep behavior with contents lower than 1 wt%, which was related to the presence of a percolation threshold around this value.
Mechanism of porosity growth during homogenisation in single crystal nickel-based superalloys
(2013)
Several mechanisms for porosity growth in single crystal nickel-based superalloys during homogenisation heat treatment have been proposed in the literature. They were carefully checked using different experimental methods, namely quantitative light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and density measurements. It is shown that the main mechanism is the Kirkendall–Frenkel effect, i.e. generation of voids due to uncompensated efflux of Al atoms from dissolving γ/γ′-eutectic areas. The Al diffusion is supported by the afflux of vacancies from surrounding γ-matrix which results in porosity growth. This conclusion is confirmed by the estimation of the vacancy afflux towards the dissolving eutectic.
Effect of well dispersed amorphous silicon dioxide in flame retarded styrene butadiene rubber
(2013)
Spherically shaped amorphous silicon dioxide with broad size particle distribution was used in combination with aluminium trihydroxide (ATH) in styrene butadiene rubber composites. The pyrolysis, flammability, fire properties, flame spread and gas diffusion were investigated. The kind and amount of ATH, but in particular the fine silicon dioxide chosen as an additive, influenced the thermal decomposition and fire behaviour of styrene butadiene rubber composites. Gravimetric gas sorption measurements showed that the gas diffusion was systematically lower with silicon dioxide. The initial pyrolysis gas release was hindered, increasing the temperature at which decomposition begins as well as the ignition time in fire tests. During combustion, ATH and silicon dioxide accumulate on the surface of the specimen, forming a residual protective layer. A reduced peak heat release rate and fire spread were observed. The addition of a special kind of silicon dioxide is proposed to play a key role in optimising fire retardancy.
The use of coconut fiber (CF) agricultural waste was considered as an environmentally friendly and inexpensive alternative in flame retarded biocomposites. To decrease the high content of aluminum trihydrate (ATH) required, the thermal decomposition (thermogravimetry), flammability [oxygen index (LOI) and UL 94 test] and fire behavior (cone calorimeter) of a combination of CF and ATH were investigated in a commercial blend of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and cellulose derivatives. CF induced some charring activity, slightly decreasing the fire load and burning propensity in cone calorimeter test. ATH decomposes endothermically into water and inorganic residue. Significant fuel dilution as well as a pronounced residual protection layer reduces the fire hazards. Replacing a part of ATH with coconut fibers resulted in improved flame retardancy in terms of ignition, reaction to small flame, and flame-spread characteristics [heat release rate (HRR), fire growth rate (FIGRA), etc.]. The observed ATH and CF synergy opens the door to significant reduction of the ATH contents and thus to interesting flame retarded biocomposites.
In welding experiments conducted on heavy wall pipes, the penetration mode (full or partial penetration) occurred to be a significant factor influencing appearance of solidification cracks. To explain the observed phenomena and support further optimization of manufacturing processes, a computational model was developed, which used a sophisticated strategy to model the material. High stresses emerged in the models in regions which showed cracking during experiments. In partial penetration welding, they were caused by the prevention of weld shrinkage due to the cold and strong material below the joint. Another identified factor having an influence on high stress localization is bulging of the weld.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird das Schädigungsverhalten eines kurzglasfaserverstärkten Polyamids analysiert. Die Mikrorissschädigung wird mittels Röntgenrefraktionsanalyse für verschiedene mechanische Betriebsbelastungen untersucht. Dabei werden Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Röntgenrefraktionsanalyse für kurzglasfaserverstärkte Polyamide herausgearbeitet. Insbesondere werden der Einfluss der Faserorientierungsverteilung und der Einfluss der Schädigungsmechanismen auf die Röntgenrefraktionsanalyse und deren Ergebnisinterpretation betrachtet. Die Methode ermöglicht eine quantitative und phänomenologisch basierte Mikrorissschädigungscharakterisierung. Für den untersuchten Werkstoff tritt Mikrorissschädigung in Form von Faser-Matrix-Ablösung und Matrixrissbildung auf. Die Schädigungshöhe korreliert linear mit dem nichtlinear elastischen Dehnungsanteil und ist abhängig von der Art der Betriebsbelastung. Eine Feuchtigkeitsaufnahme des Werkstoffs kann das Mikrorissschädigungsverhalten deutlich beeinflussen. Die Schädigung durch Mikrorissbildung tritt vorrangig unter Zugbelastungen auf. Die Makroschädigung durch Einzelrissfortschritt wird in Abhängigkeit der Faserorientierung und des Feuchtegehalts in einem automatisierten Versuch charakterisiert. Aufgrund der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse wird ein empirisches Berechnungsmodell erstellt. Die Untersuchungen des Mikro- und Makroschädigungsverhaltens werden fraktografisch begleitet, um die in den Modellvorstellungen vorausgesetzten Schädigungs- und Versagensmechanismen abzusichern.
Ultrasonic vibration enhanced friction stir welding (UVeFSW) is a recent modification of conventional friction stir welding (FSW), which transmits ultrasonic vibration directly into the localized area of the workpiece near and ahead of the rotating tool. In this study, a high strength aluminium alloy (2024-T4) was welded by this process and conventional FSW, respectively. Then tensile tests, microhardness tests and fracture surface analysis were performed successively on the welding samples. The tests results reveal that ultrasonic vibration can improve the tensile strength and the elongation of welded joints. The microhardness of the stir zone also increases.
