The application of implants e.g. for osteosynthesis or substitution of worn out joints is common practice since decades. Successes in surgery and orthopedics are highly dependent on the use of artificial parts for implanting into the human body. Over the years the number of surgical procedures and the number of different implants were growing rapidly. Implants, however, are exposed to complex mechanical, corrosive and tribological loads along with restriction in geometric dimension. While being essentially successful, the sheer number of cases leads to a rising number of implant failures. Such failures are painful for the affected patients and are very costly.
The failure cases presented in this paper occurred from 1981 to 2016. The predominant failure mechanism of all kinds of implants is fatigue fracture. Fatigue cracks are initiated due to a whole bunch of reasons: Material defects and fabrication defects are rare events. The main factors are cyclic overload due to improper fitting with delayed bone healing, corrosion and unauthorized modification of the implant during surgery

The performance of functional coatings and adhesively joined hybrid components relies strongly on the stability of the polymer-metal interface. With the increasing utilization of multi-material structures in the automotive and aerospace industry, it is of great scientific and technical interest to understand the processes leading to interface degradation and to develop novel strategies to increase corrosion and delamination resistance.
The aim of this project is to develop thin epoxy-based films on aluminium alloy AA2024-T3 as a model system and to investigate their interfacial stability under corrosive and coupled corrosive-mechanical load. Electrochemical and spectroscopic methods were used for the characterisation of the film properties and in situ corrosion experiments were performed by means of AFM. The deformation properties of the aluminium alloy and the model coatings were investigated by means of scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM) utilizing the integrated tensile stage.
The presentation will give a brief overview of the capabilities of the new AFM setup to foster future collaborations and summarize our work on the interface stability of model coatings.
The paper deals with the integration of a light emitting diode (LED) into an additive manufactured metal component. Selective laser melting (SLM) and laser metal deposition (LMD) are used. The material used is the chrome-nickel steel 316L. The basic component is manufactured by means of SLM and consists of a solid body and an area with grid structure. The solid body includes a duct in the shape of a groove with a recess for the positioning of the power cable. The LED is embedded in the grid structure via an inlet from the solid body. In further processing, the groove is filled with LMD. Two strategies with different parameter combinations were investigated. It shows that a high energy input near the power cable leads to its destruction. By using multiple parameter combinations during the manufacturing process, this destruction can be prevented. There was a comparison of both strategies with regard to the necessary number of tracks and duration of welding time.
Beanspruchungsgerechtes ultraschallunterstütztes Fräsen Generativ gefertigter Turbinenbauteile
(2018)
Die Beschaffung und Verarbeitung von Werkstoffen für hochbelastete Komponenten sind meist kostenintensiv. Bestrebungen zur Kosten- und Ressourceneffizienz führen zu komplexeren Strukturen bzw. Konturen, sodass generative Fertigungsschritte zur Bauteilreparatur und -fertigung deutliche ökonomische Vorteile bieten. Hierfür sind generative und abtragende Fertigungsschritte komplementär und gezielt aufeinander abzustimmen, um beanspruchungsgerechte Funktionsflächen herzustellen.
Hochfeste und -warmfeste Legierungen nehmen in vielen Bereichen des Maschinen- und Anlagenbaus eine immer größere Rolle ein, deren Wirtschaftlichkeit und Effizienz durch eine kostensparende und präzise fügetechnische und abtragende Fertigung bestimmt wird. Komponenten aus modernen hochfesten Werkstoffen erfordern aufgrund ihres spezifischen Legierungskonzeptes und Gefüges und der oft hohen thermo-mechanischen Belastungen speziell adaptierte Fertigungsabläufe. Der Beitrag stellt einige Themenschwerpunkte vor, bei denen fertigungsbedingte Beanspruchungen und Eigenschaftsdegradationen an hochinnovativen Werkstoffen optimiert und wirtschaftliche Fertigungsbedingungen untersucht werden.

Hinsichtlich Inhomogenität und Anisotropie der Gefüge und Eigenschaften sowie fertigungsbedingter Beanspruchungen sind für den wirtschaftlichen Einsatz bei KMU, gerade für drahtbasierte Fertigungsverfahren und Wechselwirkungen nachfolgender Zerspanung dieser schwer spanbaren Werkstoffe noch viele Kenntnisse notwendig. Deshalb sind Untersuchungen zu diesen Einflüssen und Wechselwirkungen unter Nutzung innovativer Ansätze geplant. Mit typischen kostenintensiven Ni- und Co-Cr-Legierungen werden generativ Bauteile, Auftrag- und Reparaturschweißungen hergestellt und Schweißzusätze für das PTA-Verfahren modifiziert, um die Erstarrungsmorphologie und das Eigenschaftsprofil zu optimieren. Die Übertragung auf MSG-Verfahren sichert einen breiten industriellen Einsatz für hohe Auftragraten ab. Die wirtschaftliche spanende Bearbeitbarkeit wird mit Zerspanbarkeitsanalysen für Schlichtfräsen und vergleichend für ultraschallunterstütze Fräsprozesse sichergestellt. Instrumentierte Experimente und Werkstoffanalytik hinsichtlich der Einflüsse auf Schmelzbad, Gefüge und Ausscheidungen sowie auf Randzoneneigenschaften und Eigenspannungen ermöglichen umfassende Erkenntnisse zur kombinierten generativen und abtragenden Fertigung. Durch Bauteilversuche und -prüfungen, Übertragbarkeitsstudien weiterer innovativer Werkstoffe verbunden mit Handlungsempfehlungen und der Zusammenarbeit mit den jeweiligen Normungsgremien profitieren KMU von einer hochwirtschaftlichen Herstellung und Reparatur kostenintensiver Komponenten.
UV-curing coatings are nowadays widely used due to their unique advantages. High-quality coatings can be obtained at short curing times and low temperatures so that thermal stress to the substrate is minimised. Photocured Cycloaliphatic-Epoxy Oligosiloxane (CEO) resin was reported to be used as encapsulation material for organic electronics. However, further reinforcement of CEO film properties is desired to achieve requested device lifetime.
In this work we introduced Boehmite nanoparticles (BA) into CEO matrix in order to modify the film properties and study the main changes of the material behaviour with regard to its photocuring kinetics, thermal stability and glass transition. Particular interest was focused on the role of particle surface in nanocomposite properties. Hence, BA particles without (HP14) and with organic surface modifier (OS1) at different loadings (up to 10 wt%) were applied in this study. Morphology investigation with SEM operated in transmission mode showed good BA dispersion forming network-like structure. At the same time, distribution of particles differed for HP14 and OS1 as a result of different interaction in CEO-solvent-particles system. CEO structure obtained via non-hydrolytic sol-gel reaction was verified by 13C and 29Si NMR. In situ monitoring of film curing was performed using RT-IR spectroscopy. No significant modification of final convention degree with particle incorporation was observed in contrast to considerable decrease of curing efficiency reported previously for similar system by Esposito et al.,2008. Further, cured hybrid nanocomposite films were analysed by TGA and DSC, which revealed impact of surface modifier on film thermal properties.
Organic-inorganic nanostructured materials have drawn much attention over the past decade, particularly due to their versatile and outstanding properties. Possessing the properties between those of polymers and those of glasses, siloxane-based resins are non-toxic, easy to synthesize and process hybrid materials, that hold a promising potential in the field of advanced coatings.
Photocurable resins are nowadays widely used as coatings due to their unique advantages. In particular, cationic ring-opening curing is not inhibited by oxygen, leads to low degree of shrinkage and superior adhesion. The most important, it enables production of high-quality coatings within short exposure times without applying temperature, thus, minimizing the presence of the thermal stress in the substrate. Photocured Cycloaliphatic-Epoxy Oligosiloxane (CEO) resin was reported to be used as encapsulation material for organic electronics. However, further reinforcement of CEO properties is desired to achieve requested device lifetime. One of the common approaches to improve material characteristics is by embedding inorganic nanoparticles into polymer matrix. It has been shown that the resulted nanocomposites exhibit enhanced functional properties included but not limited by optical, mechanical, thermal and barrier ones.
In this work we focused on the incorporation of Boehmite nanoparticles (BA) into CEO matrix as a tool to strengthen the film properties and to study the main changes occurred in the material behavior with regard to its photocuring kinetics, thermal stability and glass transition. Particular interest was focused on the role of particle surface in nanocomposite properties. Hence, BA particles without (HP14) and with organic surface modifier (OS1) at different loadings
(up to 10 wt%) were applied in this study. Morphology investigation with SEM operated in transmission mode showed good BA dispersion forming
network-like structure. At the same time, distribution of particles differed for HP14 and OS1 as a result of different interaction in CEO-solvent-particles system. CEO structure obtained via non-hydrolytic sol-gel reaction was verified by 13C and 29Si NMR. In situ monitoring of film curing was performed using
RT-IR spectroscopy. A slight increase of final convention degree with particle incorporation was observed in contrast to the considerable decrease of curing efficiency reported previously for similar system. Further, the cured hybrid nanocomposite films were analyzed by TGA and DSC, which revealed impact of surface modifier on thermal stability and glass transition temperature.
Optical spectroscopy – Techniques, instrumentation, and typical molecular and nanoscale reporters
(2018)
Different types of optical spectroscopies are introduced with special emphasis on method-inherent limitations and reliable instrument calibration and performance validation. In addition, different classes of molecular and nanocrystalline emitters are presented and the underlying photophysical processes are briefly described.
The mayor part of the Berlin collection `Manuscripta Americana´ consists of documents compiled by Alexander von Humboldt. The diversity of the written fragments and their shape presume few accordance concerning purpose, place or time of production. Even before the papers came to Berlin, manuscripts were copied, divided and collected by famous scholars also in Mexico. Back in Europe, Humboldt visited further collections and published the detected hieroglyphic writings altogether with cultural objects and landscapes in the book `Vues des Cordillères et Monuments des Peuples Indigènes de l`Amerique, voyage de Humboldt et Bonpland´, labelled corresponding to the cultural background.
By scientific and culture historical analyses, the Humboldt codices are revised and related to each other and others. In especial, the compilation of fragments shown on plate 36 in the book is looked at more closely. Whereas most of the plates represent only one sheet of painted amate paper, here segments with details of seven fragments are put together. It is tried to comprehend why these pieces are on one plate.
To find out a common feature of the documents, their content and represented form are compared. A correlation between some pieces is obvious and thus is also expected in the manufacture of the codices, in the kind of material used. For this the inks and colors are determined by scientific analysis including XRF-, Raman-, FTIR- and VIS- spectroscopy. Special material is detected and related to results of former analysis of codices written during the colonial period of America. Herewith a clear cultural assignment of the manuscripts is performed.
A relation of the fragments represented on plate 36 among each other and to other codices of the collection Manuscripta Americana in Berlin is discussed. Also, if the manuscripts are unique `originals´ or represent fragments of documents, whose corresponding pieces maybe found- in the best case- incorporated in other collections. We detected, that at least two of them can be put into relation to similar manuscripts deposited in Mexico. Further material analysis should clarify, if the corresponding pieces are identical- from one document, or if one of them is a copy. Herewith an approximation to authenticity features and history is issued.
Mandatory for the comparison of different emitter classes and the rational design of the next generation of molecular and nanoscale reporters are reliable and quantitative photoluminescence measurements. This is of special relevance for all fluorescence applications in the life and material sciences. In the following, procedures for the determination of this spectroscopic key parameter are presented including pitfalls and achievable uncertainties and material-specific effects related to certain emitter classes are addressed.
Optical spectroscopic studies of the influence of size, particle architecture, and surface chemistry of different types of photoluminescent nanocrystals with emission in the vis/NIR will be presented including semiconductor quantum dots and lanthanide-based upconversion nanoparticles. This will include the photophysics of these materials assessed with steady state and time-resolved fluorometry on the ensemble and single particle level and concepts for the quantification of surface groups at nanomaterials with optical methods using cleavable probes and catch-and-release assays.
Nanomaterials are used in many different applications in the material and life sciences. Examples are optical reporters, barcodes, and nanosensors, magnetic and optical contrast agents, and catalysts. Due to their small size and large surface area, there are also concerns about their interaction with and uptake by biological systems. This has initiated an ever increasing number of cyctoxicity studies of nanomaterials of different chemical composition and surface chemistry, but until now, the toxicological results presented by different research groups often do not address or differ regarding a potential genotoxicity of these nanomaterials. This underlines the need for a standardized test procedure to detect genotoxicity.1,2
Aiming at the development of fast, easy to use, and automatable microscopic methods for the determination of the genotoxicity of different types of nanoparticles, we assess the potential of the fluorometric γH2AX assay for this purpose. This assay, which can be run on an automated microscopic detection system, relies on the determination of DNA double strand breaks as a sign for genotoxicity.3 Here, we present first results obtained with broadly used nanomaterials like CdSe/CdS and InP/ZnS quantum dots as well as iron oxide, gold, and polymer particles of different surface chemistry with previously tested colloidal stability. These studies will be also used to establish nanomaterials as positive and negative genotoxicity controls or standards for assay performance validation for users of this fluorometric genotoxicity assay. In the future, after proper validation, this microscopic platform technology will be expanded to other typical toxicity assays.

The Ni-Cr-Mo-W alloy is characterized by the excellent high-temperature corrosion resistance, good strength and ability to work in aggressive environments. To protect the surface of the substrate 13CrMo4-5 steel against aggressive environments the Inconel 686 as clad layer was used. The corrosion process was performed in oxidizing mixture of gases like O2, COx, SOx. The second part of corrosion Experiment concerned the corrosion test of the coating in reducing atmosphere of the specified gases with ashes, which contained e.g. Na, Cl, Ca, Si, C, Fe, Al.
Im Rahmen der Erstellung einer fraktographischen online-Datenbank an der BAM wurden systematisch Schwingversuche an einem Sinterstahl vorgenommen, dessen Sinterdichte variiert wurde. Die erzeugten Bruchflächen wurden analysiert, mit der Literatur verglichen und Datensätze in die Datenbank eingefügt.
Im Rahmen der DGM/DVM AG Fraktographie wird an der BAM eine fraktographische online-Datenbank aufgebaut. Während von metallischen Werkstoffen viele Beispiele vorliegen, die auch gut verstanden sind, sind die Brüche von Kunststoffen bislang weniger prominent vertreten. Eine teils ungeklärte Frage ist, in welcher Form sich an Kunststoffen klassische Schwingbrüche nachweisen lassen, wie sie von metallischen Werkstoffen bekannt sind. Der Vortrag zeigt einige Beispiele im Detail und stellt diese zur Diskussion.
Ferritic-martensitic Fe-Cr alloys are widely utilised as materials for high temperature applications such as super heater tubes in coal, biomass or co-fired power plants. Various corrosive gases are produced in combustion processes, but especially SO2 is known to cause catastrophic application failure. In order to understand the effect of orientation and grain size of the alloy on the initial corrosion processes we analysed metal coupons of Fe-Cr- alloys (2-13 wt. % Cr) by electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) before and after exposure to SO2 containing atmospheres in 650°C for short time spans (2 min – 12 h). An infra red heated furnace with integrated water-cooling was used for the ageing procedures to conduct short time experiments and to keep the reaction products in a ‘frozen’ state.
EBSD characterization of oxides formed on the surface of the alloys showed a topotactic relationship between grain orientation of the alloys and the oxides. With increasing scale thickness this relation diminishes possibly due to lattice strain. There appears to be no correlation between oxide growth and absolute, initial orientation, grain size, or the quality of polishing. An initially topotactic relationship between scale and steel had been already described for the formation of magnetite in hot steam environments, indicating that the initial corrosion mechanisms are mainly depending on the presence of Oxygen, and not changed by the presence of Sulphur. However, Sulphur is incorporated into the oxide scale in the low Cr alloy, and mainly observable in the inner corrosion zone for the higher alloyed material. Furthermore, oxides formed directly on grain boundaries in higher Cr alloyed materials are enriched in Cr compared to oxides on grain faces.
Ferritic high temperature alloys are widely used as boiler tube and heat exchanger materials in coal, biomass and co-fired power plants. All technologies have in common that the applied materials are exposed to different temperatures, process pressures and reactive atmospheres that lead to a change of the material properties and a further degradation of the material. Material changes caused by aging in highly corrosive and toxic gases such as SO2 are mainly studied ex situ after the reaction is finished. The solid material is deposited in the atmosphere for a certain period of time, and material changes are then examined by various microscopic techniques such as optical microscopy (OM), electron microprobe analysis (EMPA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Nevertheless, extensive efforts were made to study material changes of high temperature alloys under oxidizing and reducing atmospheres by environmental scanning electron microscopy or in situ TEM techniques However, the possibilities of microscopic in situ techniques are very limited for the use of highly corrosive and toxic gases such as SO2. Since Sulfur induced corrosion at temperatures relevant for coal and biomass fired power plants, which is causing breakaway oxidation and sulfide precipitation at grain boundaries, is still of scientific interest, the current work focuses on the effect of SO2 in an initial stage of corrosion of ferritic alloys. For the analysis of early stages of combined oxidation and sulphidation processes of Fe-Cr model alloys the usage of a light furnace to conduct a rapid reactive annealing experiment is feasible. Previous studies presented distinct results of the influence of chromium on early high temperature corrosion by SO2 by this technique and subsequent classical metallographic analyses. However, it is still not possible to trace the corrosion mechanism in real time by conducting single aging experiments. The current work introduces two different approaches to study the initial stages of high temperature oxidation processes by applying above state of the art X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy methods. One part focuses on the real time observation of the formation of corrosion products such as oxides and sulfides by energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD). The potential of this technique to study crystallization and growth processes of thin films in a reactive environment in real time was previously shown for different compound semiconductors. This approach was now applied to follow oxidation and sulphidation processes of ferritic model alloys in SO2 and SO2/H2O environments. The diffraction signals of the X-rays were detected during the corrosion process and the peak area and positions were analyzed as a function of time. This procedure enables monitoring external oxide growth and material loss in real time in an early stage of corrosion.
The other part of the current work presents the possibilities of X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy (XANES) to characterize oxide scales and their growth mechanisms. Precise phase identification and quantification of corrosion products in a multi-phase oxide/sulfide scale is a pre-requisite to understand diffusion paths of metal ions and gas components. It is a challenging task to distinguish structurally similar reaction products such as Fe3O4 and FeCr2O4 especially in thin films with texture effects by diffraction. To illustrate for example Cr-out diffusion of an alloy throughout an inner and external oxide scale the differentiation of Fe3O4 and FeCr2O4 is indispensable. XANES uses the photoionization effect at the metal absorption edge in an aging product and accesses by this structural and chemical information. The current work uses XANES at the Fe-K and Cr-K absorption edge to identify various aging products grown as thin layers on alloys after short time aging experiments. A reaction chamber for combining high temperature oxidation experiments with surface sensitive X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy will be introduced and first results of XANES on scales at high temperatures will be presented.
Ferritic-martensitic alloys with 12-16 % Cr in weight are subject to devices for various energy systems, such as coal power plants and waste incineration plants. These materials are exposed to a highly corrosive environment which lead to a degradation of the material. Especially the simultaneous oxidation and sulfidation is thereby of special interest. Proper spatially resolved measurements that determine not only chemical compositions but phases are rare. However, precise phase identification and quantification of corrosion products within the multi-phase corrosion scales is a key aspect to understand diffusion paths of metal ions and gas ions/molecules. This study investigated Fe-Cr model alloys with Cr contents from 0 to 13 % in weight in 0.5 % SO2 and 99.5 % Ar atmosphere to aim in a fundamental and systematic analysis. Samples were aged at 650 °C for time scales from 12 h to 250 h. The results presented here correspond to depth dependent phase identification of oxide and sulphide phases in the corrosion scales by using X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES). Per sample a series of ca. 20 spots (1-5 µm spot size) from scale-gas to scale-metal interface were measured. XANES spectroscopy was performed at the Fe-K edge (7.11 keV) on polished cross sections. The collected spectra were fitted to a combination of reference materials to quantify the present phases at different positions within the scale.The phase distribution differs with Cr content and the Cr diffusion through pure Fe-oxide and mixed Fe-Cr-oxide phases is discussed.

Environmental conditions are known to influence sub-critical crack growth (SCCG) that are released from microscopic flaws at the glass surface, leading to stress corrosion phenomena at the crack tip. The processes at the crack-tip are complex and water has been identified as a key component governing SCCG at low crack velocities (region I). In particular, the influence of humidity accelerating crack propagation is well studied for industrial soda-lime silicate glasses, which are practically free (< 1000 ppm) of dissolved water. To shed light on the corrosion process, the situation at the crack-tip is reversed in the present study as dissolved water in larger fractions is present in the glass and crack propagation is triggered in dry environment. For this purpose, water-bearing silicate glasses of up to 8 wt% total water were synthesized in an internally heated pressure vessel at 0.5 GPa and compared to dry glasses of standard glass manufacturing. SCCG was measured using the double cantilever beam technique and by Vickers indentation. For dry glasses, three trends in the crack growth velocity versus stress intensity curve were found. The slope in region I limited by environmental corrosion increases in the order sodium aluminosilicate < sodium borosilicate ≲ sodium lead silicate. The velocity range of region II reflecting the transition between corrosion affected and inert crack growth (region III), varies within one order of magnitude among the glasses. The KI region of inert crack growth strongly scatters between 0.4 and 0.9 MPam1/2. For hydrous glasses, it is found that those of low Tg are more prone to SCCG. As water strongly decreases Tg, it promotes SCCG. First results indicate that molecular water has a dominating influence on SCCG.
9-12% Cr ferritic-martensitic stainless steels are widely used as high temperature construction materials in power plants due to their excellent creep and oxidation resistance. The growing share of renewable energy sources in power generation forces many of these plants into more flexible operation with frequent load shifts or shutdowns. These cyclic operation profiles constitute a major lifetime issue.
The present contribution reports on current findings obtained in a multidisciplinary project which combines cyclic mechanical and cyclic oxidation testing with detailed microstructural analyses. Mechanical analyses are carried out on P92 and P91 steel grades to give an overview of softening phenomena and lifetimes obtained in isothermal cyclic loading (low cycle fatigue, LCF), non-isothermal cyclic loading (thermo-mechanical fatigue, TMF), and service-like combinations of creep and fatigue periods (creep-fatigue interaction).
Oxidation testing focuses on the grades P92 and VM12 with the intention of clarifying the impact of frequent passes through intermediate temperature levels on the kinetics of steam-side oxidation and the characteristics of the evolving oxide scales. An attempt is made to evaluate their composition, strength, integrity and adhesion after up to 250 temperature cycles. Flat coupons as well as curved tube sections are tested to assess the mutual influence of geometry on oxide scale integrity.
Complementary microstructural investigations by scanning and transmission electron microscopy plus EBSD are used for phase identification and substrate/oxide interface characterisation. The evolutions of grain size and dislocation density under different test conditions are quantified.

Fugenfüllsysteme für Fahrbahnbeläge unter höchsten Beanspruchungen bestimmen in zunehmenden Maße die sichere Verfügbarkeit des Autobahnnetzes. Die aktuellen europäischen technischen Regelungen zu deren Verwendbarkeit folgen noch einem spezifikatorischen Ansatz auf empirischen Grundlagen. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass ein solcher Ansatz den Dauerhaftigkeits- und Nutzungsanforderungen nicht mehr entsprechen kann. Der Autor plädiert in seinem Vortrag für einen Paradigmenwechsel hin zu einem funktionsanalytischen Bewertungsansatz. Es werden Vorschläge für eine versuchstechnische Lösung des Problems und die damit verbundenen Chancen für Optimierung und Innovation aufgezeigt.
Einfluss der Schweißnaht-Nachbehandlung auf die Korrosionsbeständigkeit des Duplex-Stahls 1.4062
(2018)
Die Korrosionsbeständigkeit von Schweißverbindungen aus dem Duplex-Stahl 1.4062 wird, neben dem Grundwerkstoff, dem Schweißzusatzwerkstoff und dem Schweißverfahren, auch sehr stark von der Oberflächennachbehandlung der Schweißnaht beeinflusst. Je nach zukünftigem Anwendungsbereich und geforderter Korrosionsbeständigkeit wird die Schweißnaht geschliffen, gebeizt, elektropoliert oder gestrahlt, um die beim Schweißen entstandenen Anlauffarben zu entfernen. Gestrahlte Oberfläche sind in der industriellen Praxis häufig anzutreffen, da sie deutlich einfacher und kostengünstiger herzustellen sind als gebeizte oder elektropolierte Oberflächen. Die Auswahl des Strahlmittels bestimmt auch die Prozesskosten, wobei das Strahlen mit Korund effektiver als das Strahlen mit Glasperlen ist. Ziel der Untersuchungen war es festzustellen, ob das Strahlen aus Sicht der Korrosionsbeständigkeit äquivalent zu anderen Nachbehandlungsverfahren ist. Diese Fragestellung wird im Vortrag beantwortet indem geschliffene, gebeizte, mit Korund gestrahlte und mit Glasperlen gestrahlte Schweißverbindungen vergleichend untersucht werden. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchungen von den Strahlmitteln und den gestrahlten Oberflächen werden mit den Ergebnissen der Salzsprühnebelprüfung, den kritischen Lochkorrosionspotentialen und der KorroPad-Prüfung korreliert.
Einfluss industrieller Korundschleifprozesse auf die Korrosionsbeständigkeit nichtrostender Stähle
(2018)
Im Vortrag werden Ergebnisse des AiF Forschungsvorhabens "Optimierung industrieller Korundschleifprozesse zur Sicherstellung der Korrosionsbeständigkeit nichtrostender Stähle" vorgestellt, die den Einfluss verschiedener Schleifmittel auf die Korrosionsbeständigkeit geschliffener Oberflächen nichtrostender Stähle belegen. Es konnte ein signifikanter Einfluss durch die Verwendung von Granulatschleifbändern nachgewiesen werden, der die Korrosionsbeständigkeit der Oberflächen reduziert. Grund sind auf der Oberfläche zurückbleibende Materialaufplattungen von Eigenmaterial aus dem Schleifprozess. Es wurden unterschiedliche Korrosionsuntersuchungen durchgeführt und durch Oberflächenanalytik im Rasterelektronenmikroskop untermauert.
Normung der KorroPad-Prüfung zum Nachweis lochkorrosionsanfälliger Oberflächen und Werkstoffzustände
(2018)
Mit der KorroPad-Prüfung kann die Lochkorrosionsbeständigkeit nichtrostender Stähle auf sehr einfache, schnelle und kostengünstige Weise eingeschätzt werden. Das KorroPad ist damit für Hersteller, Verarbeiter und Anwender nichtrostender Stähle eine interessante Alternative zu zeitintensiven Langzeitversuchen und komplexen elektrochemischen Untersuchungsmethoden. Die prinzipiellen Funktionsweise der KorroPad-Prüfung wird im Vortrag beschrieben, um anschließend verschiedene Anwendungen vorzustellen. Exemplarisch werden dazu die Bewertung von Schleif-, Strahl- und Passivierungsprozessen, die der Einfluss von Schwefel und die werkstoffbezogene Nachweisgrenze der KorroPad-Prüfung. Abschließend wird auf ein geplantes Vorhaben zur Normung der KorroPad-Prüfung eingegangen.
Different strategies for the synthesis of polylactides were presented with special focus on Ring-opening Polymerization (ROP) and simultaneous ROP and Polycondensation (ROPPOC) mechanism. The mechanism of the formation of cyclic Polyesters is discussed in detail and established theories about the formation of cycles in polycondensation reactions are critically reviewed.
Es wird eine neu entwickelte Methode zur Thermographiebasierten Rissmessung vorgestellt. Darüber hinaus wird eine numerische Vorarbeit präsentiert, die zeigt, dass anhand der gemeisamen Auswertung der Versuchsdaten aus unterschiedlicher Sensorik die Möglichkeit besteht, die unter Ermüdungsbelastung in Bohrlochproben auftretenden Risse in Geometriekategorien zu unterteilen.
The state of fresh concrete is predominantly determined by the rheological properties of the cement paste. In order to control performance spectra and requirements of novel concretes and to better understand macroscopic phenomena, comprehensive knowledge of the material behavior of fresh cement suspensions as well as of the complex relationships of mechanisms at the nano and micro scale are necessary. This work focuses on micro and nano rheology of suspensions of cementitious model systems and the influence of polycarboxylate-based admixtures on the rheology. The phenomena are driven by multiple parameters such as adsorption and particle interactions. Hence, the first part examines the interaction between polycarboxylate ether (PCE) and synthesized clinker phases and hydration products as model systems with regard to early hydration products.
Unter der zyklischen R-Kurve versteht man die Abhängigkeit des Schwellenwertes gegen Ermüdungsrissausbreitung von der Risstiefe im Kurzrissbereich. Bei Spannungsverhältnissen R = omin/omax < ca. 0,7 erhöht sich der Schwellenwert AKltl ausgehend von einer intrinsischen, werkstoffspezifischen Untergrenze mit zunehmender Risstiefe, bis er einen risslängenunabhängigen Wert erreicht.
Ursache ist der graduelle Aufbau unterschiedlicher Rissschließeffekte. Die besondere Bedeutung des Kurzrisswachtums allgemein und der zyklischen R-Kurve speziell besteht darin, dass sie ein physikalisches Bindeglied zwischen der konventionellen Schwingfestigkeit (Wöhlerkurve) und der Bruchmechanik repräsentieren. Der Beitrag befasst sich sowohl mit der experimentellen Ermittlung der zyklischen R-Kurve als auch mit ihrer Anwendung auf Rissarrest im Zusammenhang mit Schwingfestigkeitsbetrachtungen.
Die experimentelle Ermittlung der zyklischen R-Kurve erfordert einen experimentellen Aufwand, der deutlich über den der Langrissbruchmechanik hinausgeht. Insbesondere im Anfangsbereich ist eine sehr genaue Messung der Risstiefe erforderlich, was eine Verbesserung etwa der konventionellen Potentialmethode erforderlich macht. Von wesentlicher Bedeutung ist auch, dass der Ausgangsriss vor
Beginn des eigentlichen Versuchs keine Rissschließeffekte gesehen haben darf. Realisiert wird das durch eine vorgeschaltete Phase von sog. „Compression Pre-cracking“, d.h. durch Anschwingen komplett im Druckbereich.
Mechanochemistry is a fast and efficient method applicable for the synthesis of new organic[1], metal-organic[2], and inorganic[3] compounds. The direct monitoring of milling reactions is still challenging. The underlying reaction mechanisms remain often unclear. In the last years, have established a tandem in situ approach for investigating mechanochemical reactions using time-resolved in situ XRD coupled with Raman spectroscopy.[4] Here, we present an in situ coupling of synchrotron XRD, Raman spectroscopy, and thermography allowing the observation of mechanochemical reactions in real time.[5] Information on the crystalline, molecular, and temperature state of the materials during grinding could be collected. The chemical composition of the reaction mixture was found to be directly correlated with changes in the temperature profile of the reaction. Furthermore, the presented setup allows the detection of crystalline, amorphous, eutectic as well as liquid intermediates. The resulting deeper kinetic and thermodynamic understanding of milling processes is the key for future optimization of mechanochemical syntheses.
The methods of computational damage mechanics are well-established for the description of degradation of materials under monotone loading. An extension to structural damage induced by cyclic loading is however significantly limited. This is due to enormous computational costs required to resolve each load cycle by conventional temporal incremental integration schemes while a typical fatigue loading history comprises between thousands and millions of cycles. Despite the permanent increase of computational resources and algorithmic performance, a successful approach is rather based on the development of novel multiscale in time integration schemes.
A Fourier transformation-based temporal integration (FTTI) is represented, which takes advantage of temporal scale separation incorporated into the cycle jump method. The response fields are approximated by a Fourier series whose coefficients undergo the evolution on a long-time scale. This is correlated with the evolution of the history variables, including damage, by means of the adaptive cycle jump method of various orders. The necessary extrapolation rates are obtained from the underlying solution of a short-time scale problem, which results from the oscillatory boundary condition and fulfills the global equilibrium of the Fourier coefficients. In this way, a remarkable speedup is achieved because the number of cycles to be fully integrated dramatically decreases.
The key idea behind the FTTI method is that the global in space equilibrium problem is linear since it is decoupled from the evolution equations. The latter are solved in the quadrature points under response fields prescribed throughout the whole load cycle. Consequently, integration of a single load cycle is much more efficient than the conventional single scale integration where the global equilibrium iteration and the local iteration of the evolution equations are coupled. This results in an additional speedup of the FTTI method.
The performance of the FTTI technique is demonstrated for two different constitutive behaviors: a viscoplastic model with a damage variable governed by the local equivalent viscoplastic strain; a quasi-brittle response where the damage variable is driven by a non-local equivalent strain. The latter is implicitly introduced as proposed by Peerlings. Both, the explicit and implicit extrapolation schemes are validated. The FTTI solutions agree very well with the reference cycle-by -cycle solutions, while significantly reducing the computational costs. The adaptive determination of the jump length can properly recognize the particular responses throughout the fatigue loading history (stationary fatigue, acceleration of fatigue damage when approaching failure) as well as stress redistribution phenomena.
Mechanochemistry is increasingly used for synthesizing various materials including metal organic compounds and cocrystals. Although this synthesis approach offers a fast and pure synthesis in high yields, there is a lack in understanding the mechanisms of milling reactions. The necessary data can only be obtained in in situ experiments, which were only recently established for milling reactions. Herein, we present a novel setup enabling a combined in situ investigation of mechanochemical reactions using synchrotron XRD and Raman spectroscopy.

A constitutive model for the mechanical behaviour of single crystal Ni-base superalloys under high temperature conditions has been developed in the framework of a Cooretec project in cooperation with Siemens AG, MTU Aero Engines AG and University Bayreuth. In addition to the conventional material properties e.g. elastic constants, the model requires the parameters of the initial microstructure as an input. Thus, the γ’-precipitate size and the channel width of the γ-matrix were obtained from SEM micrographs. The model uses the slip system theory and describes the movement, multiplication and annihilation of dislocations in the channels. Furthermore, the cutting of precipitates is another mechanism contributing to the plastic flow. The evolution of the morphology due to rafting and its effects on the deformation have been implemented according to. The kinematic hardening is introduced as a stress tensor to realistically represent the strain hardening of arbitrary oriented single crystals.
The mechanical behaviour of single crystal specimens has been experimentally investigated in tension tests at different strain rates and in creep tests under various loads. The constitutive model has been calibrated based on the experimental data for temperatures of 950°C and 850°C and the [001] and [111] crystallographic orientations.
Finally, a micromechanical model was created to simulate the creep response of additive manufactured polycrystalline structures. An EBSD image is taken to obtain the grain geometry and their respective orientation. The grain boundaries are discretised using cohesive elements, whereas the single crystal model was applied to each grain in the representative volume. The polycrystal model is generated using Dream3D, NetGen and other software previously developed at the BAM.
Die Verwendung von Low Transformation Temperature (LTT) Schweißzusatzwerkstoffen ist eine innovative Möglichkeit, um beim Schweißen von hochfesten Stählen die schweißbedingten Zugeigenspannungen zu reduzieren. Durch die Zugabe von Legierungselementen, wie beispielsweise Nickel oder Mangan haben diese Werkstoffe eine, im Vergleich zu herkömm-lichen Schweißzusatzwerkstoffen deutlich herabgesetzte Martensitstarttemperatur (MS). Dadurch ist es möglich, die schweißbedingten Zugeigenspannungen mit LTT-Schweißzusatz-werkstoffen gezielt zu reduzieren oder sogar Druckeigenspannungen zu erzeugen.
Im Verlauf vorangegangener Arbeiten hat sich herausgestellt, dass einige der untersuchten LTT-Legierungen aufgrund ihres Erstarrungs- bzw. Seigerungsverhaltens eine gegenüber vielen konventionellen Schweiß-zusatzwerkstoffen erhöhte Heißrisssensibilität aufweisen.
Die aktuellen Arbeiten zielen darauf, die Heißrissneigung neuartiger LTT-Schweißzusatzwerkstoffe weiter zu ergründen.
Die chemische Zusammensetzung der Schweißnaht und WEZ haben einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Schweißnahtqualität. Aktuelle Prüfmethoden für Schweißnähte können post factum messen und die Schweißfehler nicht verhindern.
Das Abbrandverhalten kann über die Erstarrung wesentlichen Einfluss haben und zu Versprödung oder Rissbildung führen. Die in situ Überwachung der chemischen Zusammensetzung der Schweißnähte gewährleistet eine kontrollierte Verfestigung und Beständigkeit gegen Schweißfehler. Ein in situ Schweißnahtprüfverfahren mittels LIBS wurde entwickelt.

Impact of acid condensation on wetting and corrosion behavior of CO2 transport-pipeline steel
(2018)
Es ist allgemein akzeptiert, das Korrosion in CO2-Transport-Pipelines vernach¬lässigbar ist, solange der Wassergehalt des CO2-Stroms deutlich unter der maximal löslichen Menge liegt. Bisher gibt es keinen allgemeinen Konsens darüber, welcher maximale Wassergehalt in zu transportierendem CO2 zugelassen werden sollte. Bei einem Druck von 100 bar und im Temperaturbereich von 277 K bis 298 K beträgt die Löslichkeit von Wasser in CO2 ca. 1.900 bis 3.200 ppmv, aber die Korrosionsrate von Stählen steigt schon ab einem Wassergehalt von 500 ppmv deutlich an. Bei Anwesenheit von Begleitstoffen wie SO2, NO2 und O2, können sich HNO3, H2SO3 und H2SO4 bilden. Menge und Zusammensetzung von kondensierter Säure sind von der Gaszusammensetzung abhängig, und der Korrosionsmechanismus und die Korrosionsform sind vom Kondensationsverhalten abhängig.
Lessons learned from long-term corrosion investigations and –monitoring in saline thermal waters
(2018)
Investigations of corrosion processes in geothermal well in Groß Schönebeck showed
Most tested materials (apart of carbon steel) proved to be corrosion resistant within the installations.
- Stability of coatings cannot be guaranteed.
- Main risk: Electrochemical corrosion of carbon steel casing with dissolved Cu resulting in clogging the reservoir
The corrosion prevention strategy requires use of higher alloyed casing materials depending on resistance parameters, availability and economic feasibility.
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and coordination polymers (CPs) Play an important role in different fields of applications like e.g. catalysis, separations, gas storages, sensors or optoelectronics. Moreover, particularly fluorinated metal-organic frameworks (FMOFs) are in the focus of interest during the last years. Due to the strong electronegativity of fluorine the FMOFs show beside an enhanced thermal stability excellent optical and electrical properties compared to non-fluorinated frameworks. In most cases fluorine is implemented using perfluorinated organic linkers at the synthesis, usually performed by solvothermal synthesis.
However, only few examples are known so far where fluorine is coordinated directly to the metal cation. Recently we reported about successful mechanochemical syntheses and characterization of fluorine-containing coordination polymers of alkaline earth metals by milling M(OH)2 (M: Ca, Sr, Ba) with fluorinated benzene dicarboxylic acids.
In the present study, it was shown that it is possible to connect fluorine directly to Barium using a mechanochemical synthesis route. A new phase pure barium coordination polymer, BaF-benzene-dicarboxylate (BaF(p-BDC)0.5), was synthesized by milling starting either from barium hydroxide or from barium acetate as sources for barium cations. In both cases the second reactant was 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H2(p-BDC)). Ammonium fluoride was used as fluorinating agent directly at milling. Although single crystals are not accessible so far and the structure was not solved yet, both the 19F MAS NMR spectrum and the FT IR spectrum give strong evidence that fluorine as well as 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate are connected to barium. This is the first mechanochemical synthesis of coordination polymers where fluorine is directly coordinated to the metal cation. The new compound BaF(p-BDC)0.5 was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, FT IR- and 19F, 1H-13C CP MAS NMR spectroscopies, DTA-TG and elemental analysis.
Virtual-lab-based determination of a macroscopic yield function for additively manufactured parts
(2018)
This work presents a method for the yield function determination of additively manufactured parts of S316L steel. A crystal plasticity model is calibrated with test results and used afterwards to perform so-called virtual experiments, that account for the specific process-related microstructure including crystallographic and morphological textures. These simulations are undertaken on a representative volume element (RVE), that is generated from EBSD/CT-Scans on in-house additively manufactured specimen, considering grain structure and crystal orientations. The results of the virtual experiments are used to determine an anisotropic Barlat yield function, that can be used in a macroscopical continuum-sense afterwards. This scale-bridging approach enables the calculation of large-scale parts, that would be numerically too expensive to be simulated by a crystal plasticity model.
IBESS Methology for the fracture mechanics-based determination of the fatigue strength of weldments
(2018)
The presentation provides a brief overview on the results of a German cluster project on the use of fracture mechanics to the determination of the fatigue strength of weldments with fatigue cracks originating at the weld toes. The approach includes (a) a concept for short crack propagation for which the common K concept is not applicable and the crack closure effects are still being gradually build-up, (b) a method for determining fatigue life relevant initial crack sizes as they are needed in any fracture mechanics analysis and (c) multiple cracking and crack coalescence at load levels higher than the endurance limit. The analyses are stochastically performed. Both, the endurance limit as defined for 107 loading cycles and the finite life branch of the S-N curve are determined.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) through the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) route offers ample scope for producing geometrically complex parts compared to the conventional subtractive manufacturing strategies. Nevertheless, the residual stresses which develop during the fabrication can limit application of the SLM components by reducing the load bearing capacity and by inducing unwanted distortion, depending on the boundary conditions specified during manufacturing.
The present study aims at characterizing the residual stress states in the SLM parts using different diffraction methods. The material used is the nickel based superalloy Inconel 718. Microstructure as well as the surface and bulk residual stresses were characterized. For the residual stress analysis, X-ray, synchrotron and neutron diffraction methods were used. The measurements were performed at BAM, at the EDDI beamline of -BESSY II synchrotron- and the E3 line -BER II neutron reactor- of the Helmholtz-Zentrum für Materialien und Energie (HZB) Berlin.
The results reveal significant differences in the residual stress states for the different characterization techniques employed, which indicates a dependence of the residual state on the penetration depth in the sample. For the surface residual stresses, longitudinal and transverse stress components from both X-ray and synchrotron agree well and the obtained values were around the yield strength of the material. Furthermore, synchrotron mapping disclosed gradients along the width and length of the sample for the longitudinal and transverse stress components. On the other hand, lower residual stresses were found in the bulk of the material measured using neutron diffraction. The longitudinal component was tensile and decreased towards the boundary of the sample. In contrast, the normal component was nearly constant and compressive in nature. The transversal component was almost negligible. The results indicate that a stress re-distribution takes place during the deposition of the consecutive layers. Further investigations are planned to study the phenomenon in detail.
Die Präsentation diskutiert Besonderheiten von Schweißnähten bei der Bestimmung der Zähigkeit bei monotoner Belastung, bei der Ermittlung des zyklischen Rissfortschritts und bei der Ermittlung der Gesamtlebensdauer/Schwingfestigkeit mittels moderner bruchmechanischer Methoden. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf der Inhomogenität des Werkstoffs in den einzelnen Nahtbereichen, die sich statistisch (stochastische Verteilung von Gefügeschwachstellen) und systematisch (Effekte von Festigkeits-Mismatch) auswirkt. Als weiterer Faktor kommen Schweißeigenspannungen hinzu, bei denen für die bruchmechanische Analyse eine Fallunterscheidung in primäre und sekundäre Eigenspannungen vorgenommen werden muss. Diskstiert werden die Konsequenzen für die Zähigkeitsermittlung und die Bauteilbewertung.
The Topic of the presentationis a discussion on defects which can cause failure in cyclically loaded metallic components. Although also touching Features such as material defects such as pores or micro-shrinkages, etc. and geometric defects such as surface roughness and secondary notches (which are not considered in the design process) which origin in manufacturing, and others the presentation concentrates on non-metallic inclusions. It is prefaced by an introduction to the life cycle of a fatigue crack from initiation up to fracture. Special emphasis is put on the fact that only cracks which are not arrested during one of their distinct Propagation stages can grow to a critical size.
Heizöllagerbehälter aus Polyethylenformstoffen werden seit Beginn der 70-iger Jahre in Deutschland hergestellt. Die Hersteller empfehlen zur Gewährleistung der Sicherheit nach Ablauf von 30 Jahren den Ersatz dieser Behälter. Polyethylenformstoffe unterliegen im Laufe ihrer Nutzungsdauer der Alterung durch die Veränderung ihrer Eigenschaften. Das Ausmaß der Alterung und die Art des Abbauvorganges hängen im Wesentlichen vom chemischen Abbau des Polyethylens, der Wanddicke des Behälters und den Umgebungsbedingungen ab. Bisher lagen keine Untersuchungen zum Langzeitverhalten der Polyethylenformstoffe vor, insbesondere nach einer Nutzungsdauer der Tanks über 30 Jahre. Ziel der Untersu-chungen war, den tatsächlichen Schädigungsgrad der Polyethylenformstoffe im Vergleich zu den unbelasteten Formstoffen zu ermitteln. Da die BAM bis Mitte der 90-iger Jahre für die Prüfungen und Gutachten zur Zulassung dieser Behälter zuständig war, sind die Werkstoffdaten noch vorhanden.
Als Untersuchungsmethoden wurden die Bestimmung der Schmelze-Masse-Fließrate (MFR) und die Fourier-Transformation-IR-Spektroskopie (FTIR) von Tankausschnitten aus dem Bereich des Bodens, des Mantels und des Daches von 10 ausgesonderten Behältern aus den Polyethylenformstoffen A und B herangezogen. Die Messungen der MFR der Tankaus-schnitte aus diesen Bereichen zeigten Unterschiede in den Werten in Abhängigkeit vom Ge-wicht (5 kg oder 21,6 kg), welches eingesetzt wurde. Eine Abnahme der MFR-Werte wurde für die größere Anzahl der Tankwandungsausschnitte aus dem Formstoff B nach einer Lebensdauer der Tanks > 30 Jahre gemessen. Dieser Formstoff wurde hauptsächlich durch innere Alterung infolge Vernetzungen, Verzweigungen und Weichmacherverlust und weniger durch oxidativen Abbau geschädigt. Die FTIR-Messungen der Proben aus dem Bereich des Bodens und des Mantels der Tanks zeigten, dass die Intensität der asymmetrischen/symmetrischen CH2 -Streckschwingungen im Bereich: 2800 - 2900 cm-1 und der CH2 -Biegeverformungsschwingung bei 1400 cm-1 aufgrund von Kettenspaltungen zugenommen haben. Die Intensität der Carbonylstreckschwingung C=O bei 1740 cm-1 ist niedrig. Sie ist ein Maß für die Oxidation des Polymerwerkstoffes.
Die Bewertung der Werkstoffbeständigkeit ist von großer Bedeutung bei Änderung der Zusammensetzung der Kraftstoffe und des Heizöls, insbesondere die Frage nach der Beständigkeit der Dichtungswerkstoffe bei Zusätzen von Bioethanol und Biodiesel (Rapsölfettsäuremethylester).
Vorhergehende Untersuchungen (Messungen der Veränderungen der Masse, der Zugeigenschaften und der Härte) bezogen sich auf die Bewertung der Beständigkeit häufig verwendeter Dichtungswerkstoffe wie FKM, FVMQ, VMQ, EPDM, CR, CSM, IIR, PA, NBR und PUR in Kraftstoffen und Heizöl mit 10 % Biodiesel (nicht gealtert und bis zu 5 Jahre gealtert) unter statischen Bedingungen.
Ziel der Untersuchungen war die Bewertung der Beständigkeit von Fluorkautschuk unter verpressten Bedingungen in Analogie zu den Einsatzbedingungen in der Praxis. Die Masse und der Druckverformungsrest von Prüfkörpern aus FKM wurden vor und nach der Auslagerung über einen Zeitraum von 3, 7, 14, 28, 56 und 90 Tagen in E10 (Kraftstoff mit max. 10 % Ethanol), E85 (Kraftstoff mit 85 % Ethanol), Biodiesel (Rapsölfettsäuremethylester), Super (Kraftstoff mit max. 5 % Ethanol), Dieselkraftstoff mit max. 5 % Biodiesel, Super Plus (Kraftstoff ohne Ethanolzusatz) und Heizöl mit 10 % Biodiesel (B10) bei 40 °C gemäß ISO 815-1 bestimmt. Die Druckverformungsrestprüfung zählt neben der Messung der Härte, der Dichte und der Zugeigenschaften zu den wichtigsten Grundprüfverfahren der Elastomerindustrie. Nach Ende der Auslagerung in den Kraftstoffen und der Aufhebung der Verpressung wurde der Druckverformungsrest der Prüfkörper in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen bis zu einer Rücktrocknung > 90 Tage bestimmt. Zum Vergleich wurden Prüfkörper aus FKM ohne Kraftstoff oder Heizöl unter Verpressung bei 40 °C ausgelagert.
Die Masseänderung der Prüfkörper aus FKM betrug nach 90 Tagen Auslagerung in E10 9 %, in Super 8 %, in E85 4% und 0,6 % in Biodiesel. Die Erhöhung der Masse und die damit verbundene Quellung der Prüfkörper in E10 und Super mit 5 – 10% Ethanolzusatz hatte einen Einfluss auf den Druckverformungsrest, der sprunghaften Veränderungen unterlag im Vergleich zu den Werten nach Auslagerung in Biodiesel, Dieselkraftstoff und Heizöl B10 bei 40 °C. Zum Vergleich, unter statischen Bedingungen verringerte sich die Zugfestigkeit der Prüfkörper aus FKM nach Auslagerung in E10 bei 40 °C um 31 % und die Reißdehnung um 18 %.
The development of quick and simple optical sensing technologies for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) is needed to facilitate monitoring of these substances to ensure consumer safety. Optical sensing was achieved against phthalates acting as EDC that have host guest interaction with an intercalated Metal-organic framework (MOF), resulting in a fluorescence emission upon excitation. The fluorescent turn-on signal was generated by using a fluorophore with a structural component that has little fluorescence unless excimers are formed. Strategies to engineer functional MOF structures suitable for sensing EDC phthalates were developed, and the characterization of the MOFs with and without present phthalates was done by single crystal XRD, PXRD, RAMAN and Thermogravimetry. Extensive photo-physical characterization of host-guest complexes of different phthalates and the MOF as well as the resulting exciplex fluorescence was performed. Photo physical characterization revealed an analyte specific fluorescence fingerprint that allows discerning even minute changes in chemical structures of the analyte and therefore paving the way for sensing tools in real world analytical applications. The presented capability of MOFs to sense EDCs is envisioned to complement established methods from analytical chemistry such as mass spectrometry based methods which can’t be used on site and are often associated with infrastructural capacity constraints
Ein Defekt ist „eine Imperfektion …, für die in einer quantitativen Analyse gezeigt werden kann, dass sie Versagen verursacht hat, welches ohne die Imperfektion nicht aufgetreten wäre“. Defekte in diesem Sinn können einerseits Werkstoffimperfektionen wie nichtmetallische Einschlüsse, Poren und Porennester, Nichtdurchschweißungen oder Bereiche defekter Mikrostruktur, andererseits unbeabsichtige geometrische Imperfektionen wie Kratzer, Eindrücke, Korrosionsgrübchen, Einbrandkerben, zu große Oberflächenrauheit u.a. sein. Sie können in der Fertigung, im Betrieb oder auch bei der Wartung entstehen. Nicht jede Imperfektion ist ein Defekt im oben genannten Sinn. Entscheidend ist zumeist nicht, dass an ihr ein oder mehrere Risse initiiert werden, sondern dass wenigstens ein Riss wachstumsfähig bleibt und so innerhalb der projektierten Lebensdauer zum Bruch oder anderweitigem Versagen führt. Aufgrund des begrenzten Umfangs bleibt die vorliegen-de Übersicht beschränkt.
Due to its low mass and high diffusivity in presence of compositional, thermal and mechanical gradients, hydrogen within a metallic microstructure can result in severe loss in ductility even at low concentrations and might lead eventually to a catastrophic and unpredictable failure of structural components during service. In this context, hydrogen mapping at the microscale is still considered among the most important challenges on the pathway towards a better understanding of the hydrogen transport and assisted cracking phenomena in metals, specifically in structural components, e.g. steels.
Among the very few available techniques to localize hydrogen at the microscale, Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) was proven to be a reliable tool. Based on the assumption that deuterium influence the microstructure similarly to hydrogen, in the following contribution ToF-SIMS was applied as the main technique to detect and locally map the deuterium distribution in several alloys: lean 2101 and standard 2205 duplex stainless steel (DSS), AISI 304L austenitic stainless steel and titanium 6Al-4V alloy. These alloys were selected as case studies in this work due to the wide use of them in many applications and environments which frequently provide critical conditions for hydrogen absorption and assisted degradation.
The innovative design of in-situ and ex-situ experiments enabled us to elucidate the permeation, transport and trapping of deuterium in the microstructure in sub-micron resolution for the first time. In addition to the novel experimental setups, further progress was gained by applying computational multivariate data analysis (MVA) on the raw data and data fusion with high resolution structural characterization methods (scanning electron microscopy and electron back-scattered diffraction – SEM/EBSD). This combination allowed us to correlate the deuterium distribution and the influence on the microstructure.
In the presented research, the high potential and abilities of secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) to detect and locally map the hydrogen distribution in two types of duplex stainless steels are shown. The research validates certain proposed mechanisms by combining ToF-SIMS with high-resolution scanning electron microscopy and electron-backscattered diffraction. The combination of data from several techniques on the same region was conducted in this field for the first time by applying data treatment of the ToF-SIMS raw data and data fusion approach. This powerful combination of methods allows reviewing of the occurring processes related to hydrogen assisted cracking. The step beyond the state of the art in this field was gained here by developing permeation and mechanical loading experiments within the ToF-SIMS during chemometric imaging of the hydrogen distribution in the microstructure. The research presents the necessary correlation between the hydrogen distribution and the resulted structural changes, the diffusion behavior in a duplex microstructure and stress induced diffusion of hydrogen by applying external load at the microscale.
Die warmfeste austenitische Gusseisenlegierung EN-GJSA-XNiSiCr35-5-2 (häufig auch als Ni-Resist D-5S bezeichnet) wurde hinsichtlich ihres mechanischen Verhal-tens bei hoher Temperatur charakterisiert. Dazu wurden (isotherme) niederzyklische (LCF-) und (nicht-isotherme) thermomechanische Ermüdungsversuche (TMF) zwischen Raumtemperatur und 900 °C durchgeführt. Diese Ergebnisse dienten (zu-sammen mit weiteren Versuchsdaten) der Kalibrierung werkstoffmechanischer Modelle. Bei den höchsten Prüftemperaturen wurde Schädigung in Form von Kriechen beobachtet und metallographisch dokumentiert.
This invited plenary lecture is aimed at giving a General overview about the assessment of the fatigue strength of metallic components under constant Amplitude loading based on fracture mechanics. A particular Focus is put on the Evaluation of the fatigue crack driving force and material resistance to fatigue crack Propagation in the Regime of physically/mechanically short cracks. The potential of the methodolody is demonstrated on case studies dealing with the fatigue life prediction of welded joints.
Anlauffarben, die beim Schweißprozess entehen machen den nichtrostenden Stahl korrosionsanfällig und müssen entfernt werden. Dafür haben sich in der Praxis unterschiedliche Methoden etabliert. Im Vortrag werden verschiedene Nachbehandlungsverfahren verglichen. Die erreichte Korrosionsbeständigkeit wird mit verschiedenen Methoden bestimmt und die Ergebnisse gegenübergestellt.
In vielen Industriebranchen werden zunehmend hochfeste Feinkornbaustähle mit Streckgrenzen ≥ 690 MPa eingesetzt. Allerdings werden mit zunehmender Festigkeit deutlich höhere Anforderungen an deren schweißtechnische Verarbeitung gestellt, da gerade die Sensibilität gegenüber einer Degradation der mechanischen Eigenschaften, durch den beim Schweißen aufgenommenen Wasserstoff, mit steigender Festigkeit stark zunimmt. In der vorliegenden Präsentation sind Ergebnisse aus vergleichenden Untersuchungen mit konventionellem Übergangslichtbogen und modifiziertem Sprühlichtbogen mit reduziertem Nahtöffnungswinkel hinsichtlich der Wasserstoffaufnahme beim Schweißen unter Variation von Streckenenergie, Arbeitstemperatur und Nachwärmprozedur dargestellt. Grundsätzlich ist den erarbeiteten Ergebnissen zu entnehmen, dass im Schweißgut von Stumpfstoßverbindungen mit reduziertem Nahtöffnungswinkel erhöhte mittlere Wasserstoffkonzentrationen vorliegen. Geeignete Wärmeführungen führten zu einer signifikanten Reduzierung der Wasserstoffkonzentration beim Einsatz der Nahtkonfiguration mit abgesenktem Nahtöffnungswinkel. Dabei erwies sich eine Nachwärmprozedur aus der Schweißwärme heraus als zielführend. Des weiteren sind Gradienten der Wasserstoffkonzentration in Blechdickenrichtung aufgezeigt.
Im Vortrag werden Ergebnisse des gleichnamigen AiF Forschungsvorhabens gezeigt, die den Einfluss verschiedener Schleifmittel auf die Korrosionsbeständigkeit geschliffener Oberflächen nichtrostender Stähle belegen. Es konnte ein signifikanter Einfluss durch die Verwendung von Granulatschleifbändern nachgewiesen werden, der die Korrosionsbeständigkeit der Oberflächen reduziert. Grund sind auf der Oberfläche zurückbleibende Materialaufplattungen von Eigenmaterial aus dem Schleifprozess. Es wurden unterschiedliche Korrosionsuntersuchungen durchgeführt und mittels Oberflächenanalytik untermauert.
Electrochemical deposition of polyaniline on carbon steel for corrosion study in geothermal solution
(2018)
Polyaniline has been widely developed for many applications, e.g., sensor, supercapacitor component, electrochromic devices, and anticorrosion pigments [1]. Although the addition of polyaniline pigment in organic coatings has been an alternative for corrosion protection in industrial application, the protection mechanism is still not fully understood [2]. Herein in this study, as a part of the development of polyaniline/silicon dioxide coating for geothermal application, polyaniline has been deposited electrochemically on carbon steel surface and tested in geothermal solution to study the contribution of polyaniline in the corrosion protection of a polyaniline-based composite in the geothermal system. The electrochemical deposition was carried out by immersing carbon steel in 0.1 M oxalic acid and 0.05 M aniline, with the polarization potential of -0.6 – 1.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl, and a scan rate of 10 mV/s. To observe the surface/interface reaction between the electrolyte and electrode surface during the electrochemical polymerization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement was applied after each cycle. For corrosion study in the geothermal application, this experiment used an artificial geothermal solution with the composition of 1,500 mg/l Cl-, 20 mg/l SO42-, 15 mg/l HCO3-, 200 mg/l Ca2+, 250 mg/l K+, and 600 mg/l Na+, and pH 4 to simulate a geothermal brine found in Sibayak, Indonesia. Electrochemical measurements were performed by monitoring the open circuit potential over seven days, with the interruption of EIS every 22 hours. The experiments were performed at room temperature and 150 °C (1 MPa) in a free oxygen environment. Polyaniline coated carbon steel is more durable in a room temperature environment compared to 150 °C, which could be caused by the iron oxalate dissolution at elevated temperature. This degradation was further proven by the impedance spectra, which showed a reduction of approximately ten times for specimens measured at 150 °C as compared to the specimens measured at room temperature.
In this study, a three-dimensional CFD-simulation model was developed to simulate the fluid flow in the weld pool. The CFD-model showed a bulging region in the middle of the depth, which is separated from the top surface and bottom surface by two narrowing regions. It can be concluded that the interaction of the movement of the laser source with the Marangoni vortex leads to a teardrop shape at the upper and bottom surface of the workpiece. Additionally, it shows that the bulging in the weld is a result of the backflows on the upper and lower sides due to the thermo-capillary-driven flows. The weld pool shape was used as a heat source in a two-dimensional thermomechanical model, which allows a highly accurate transformation of the weld pool dimensions obtained from the CFD model. This developed technique allows the consideration of physical aspects, which cannot be considered when using traditional heat sources. The mechanical model has shown that the chronological order of the solidification of the weld has a significant influence on the nature and distribution of the stresses in the weld. High tensile stress has been observed in the bulging region, i.e. in the susceptible region for solidification cracking, when compared to the other narrowing regions, which show compressive stress.
Der Vortrag behandelt die Ergebnisse des gleichnamigen IGF-Forschungsvorhabens Nr. 18823 N/1. Ziel des Vorhabens war die Untersuchung einer möglichen, negativen Beeinflussung der Korrosionsbeständigkeit nichtrostender Stähle nach einer korundbasierten Schleifbearbeitung der Oberflächen. Auf Basis der Erkenntnisse aus dem Vorhaben Regelwerke und technische Merkblätter entstehen, in denen Schleifparameter, Grenzbereiche oder auch notwendige Nacharbeiten fest-gelegt werden, die es den Unternehmen ermöglichen, mit den gegebenen Verfahren und Schleifmitteln unkritisch hinsichtlich der späteren Korrosionsbeständigkeit im Einsatzfall zu schleifen. Dies gilt in besonderem Maße für Korundschleifbänder, die in industriellen Schleifprozessen eine sehr große Bedeutung besitzen.
Polymers at interfaces play a major role in a broad variety of applications ranging from engineering purposes (for instance polymer based nanocomposites) to high tech implications (for instance light emitting diodes).
Here, thin films with thicknesses down to few nanometers are prepared on different substrates as model systems for polymer composites. The thin films are investigated by a combination of surface analytical and volume sensitive methods. As surface analytical methods atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and contact angle measurements (CAM) are employed. As volume sensitive broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS), specific heat spectroscopy (SHS), and ellipsometry are used. Especially attention is paid to understand the glass transition behavior of thin films because the glass transition is the key phenomenon determines the application of polymers also in thin films.
To understand the glass transition behavior of thin films, which is controversially discussed in literature, a three layer model is discussed. Firstly, a mobile surface layer is assumed at polymer air interface of the film due to missing of segment/segment interactions. Secondly, in the middle of the film a bulk-like layer should be expected. Thirdly, for polymers having non-repulsive interactions with the substrate an irreversibly adsorbed layer is expected to be formed. Due the adsorption the molecular mobility of the segments in this layer is slowed down. What is measured for the glass transition of thin films is a complicated average of all of these effects. The different layers are hardly to address separately. Therefore, in the presentation especially model systems are selected and investigated to verify the layer model.
Supermartensitic stainless steels (SMSS) are a commonly used material nowadays for building offshore structures, i.e. pipelines in the oil and gas industry. The harsh and corrosive environments in oil and gas applications require the correct combination of alloys to attain the desired properties of steel, including high strength and good corrosion properties, even in severe sour service conditions. Welding is the most commonly used method in joining offshore components, depending on requirements requiring strength or fitting. It has been shown that the heat affected zone (HAZ) is more susceptible to certain types of corrosion, including pitting corrosion, especially during severe sour service where a high pH and lower H2S values in the flow medium can lead to pitting corrosion in the HAZ of welded structures. Subsequent hydrogen uptake in the pits can cause cracks to initiate and propagate, leading to rupture of pipelines or catastrophic failures of structures, even at low mechanical loads. Offshore standards allow a certain amount of corrosion, including pitting, to be present before action is required, however the extent of pitting corrosion is not identified by performing visual inspection alone as the subsurface pit diameter may be vastly greater than the pit diameter at the surface. The critical conditions which lead to crack initiation and propagation from a pit with hydrogen uptake are currently not known. Therefore, pitting corrosion and subsequent crack initiation are a danger to the safety of structures. The interest in this phenomenon has resulted in many experimental studies and numerical simulations.
Several numerical models of pitting corrosion and hydrogen uptake resulting in crack initiation are already in existence, but these two phenomena are regularly modelled individually. Thus, a model enabling simulation of both phenomena simultaneously would be of great benefit. Hence, the goal of this study is to develop a model enabling simulation of pit growth and crack initiation, considering hydrogen uptake in the pit from a corrosive environment.
As a first step, this paper presents an investigation into various parameters, which influence crack initiation at pits. These crack critical parameters include: pit geometry, pit location, mechanical load and hydrogen transport into the microstructure. The results will help to identify critical conditions for crack initiation starting at the pit and developing measures to avoid hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC).
Die Monte-Carlo-Simulation ist eine geeignete Methode, um Festigkeitseigenschaften wie z.B. Berstdruck, oder auch die Lastwechselfestigkeit von ganzen Population von Druckbehältern zu simulieren.
Dies erlaubt wiederum die systematische Analyse der Wirksamkeit von deterministischen Mindestanforderungen und die Optimierung entsprechender Zulassungsvorschriften.
THz-TDS Systeme können zeitaufgelöst die Amplitude der elektrischen Feldstärke E(t) detektieren. Der Vorteil des verwendeten Messprinzips besteht in dem gleichzeitigen Nachweis von Amplitude und Phase des zwischen der Antenne und dem Detektor sich ausbreitenden elektrischen Feldes eines Impulses. Befindet sich im Strahlengang dielektrisches Material, dann ändern sich die Laufzeit (Time of Flight) und Amplitude des Impulses im Vergleich zum freien Strahlengang.
Planare Fehlstellen, wie Risse oder delaminierte Schichten in Kompositen sowie mehrschichtig aufgebaute Dielektrika können als optische Mehrschichtsysteme aufgefasst werden, mit denen sich die beobachteten Transmissions- und Reflektionseigenschaften im THz-Bereich erklären lassen.
Bei Entwicklung eines optischen Schichtenmodells für das jeweilig ausgewählte Schichtensystem lassen sich zeitliche Impulsverläufe in Abhängigkeit von der Schichtenfolge- und deren –dicke berechnen.
Durch den Fit der experimentell gewonnener Daten mit den aus dem Schichtenmodell berechneten Impulssequenzen lassen sich unter Verwendung der Methode der kleinsten Quadrate Schichtdicken oder die Brechungsindizes der einzelnen Schichten im jeweiligen Testobjekt bestimmen. Anhand eines repräsentativen Beispiels wird die Entwicklung des Schichtenmodells erklärt und die erreichten Genauigkeiten zur Bestimmung der Schichtdicken und Brechungsindizes anhand selbst entwickelter Testkörper diskutiert.
The development within the offshore wind energy sector towards
more powerful turbines combined with increasing water depth
for new wind parks is challenging both, the designer as well as
the manufacturer of support structures. Besides XL-monopiles
the jacket support structure is a reasonable alternative due to the
high rigidity combined with low material consumption. However,
the effort for manufacturing of the hollow section joints reduces
the economic potential of jacket structures significantly. Therefore,
a changeover from an individual towards a serial production
based on automated manufactured tubular joints combined with
standardized pipes has to be achieved. Hence, this paper addresses
the welding process chain of automated manufactured
tubular joints including digitization of the relevant manufacturing parameters such as laser scanning of the weld seam geometry.
In diesem Vortrag werden die Möglichkeiten vernetzter Sensorik zur Digitalisierung der schweißtechnischen Prozesskette aufgezeigt. Besonderer Fokus liegt auf der Fusion von Messdaten aus unterschiedlichen physikalischen Domänen. Dies ermöglicht die Korrelation relevanter den Schweißprozess charakterisierenden elektrischen Kenngrößen mit optisch gemessenen geometrischen Qualitätsmerkmalen der Schweißnaht. Die dynamische Prozessführung ermöglicht hierbei das Generieren großer inhomogener Datenmengen, was ein entsprechendes Schweißdatenmanagement erfordert. Durch Einsatz von Methoden des maschinellen Lernens konnten Regressionsmodelle abgeleitet werden, welche Grundlage für eine adaptive Prozessführung sind.

Hochfeste und -warmfeste Legierungen nehmen in vielen Bereichen des Maschinen- und Anlagenbaus eine immer größere Rolle ein, deren Wirtschaftlichkeit und Effizienz durch eine kostensparende und präzise fügetechnische und abtragende Fertigung bestimmt wird. Komponenten aus modernen hochfesten Werkstoffen erfordern aufgrund ihres spezifischen Legierungskonzeptes und Gefüges und der oft hohen thermo-mechanischen Belastungen speziell adaptierte Fertigungsabläufe. Der Beitrag stellt einige Themenschwerpunkte vor, bei denen fertigungsbedingte Beanspruchungen und Eigenschaftsdegradationen an hochinnovativen Werkstoffen optimiert und wirtschaftliche Fertigungsbedingungen untersucht werden.
During their life cycle, composite structures used in aircraft structures can be subjected to high- and low-velocity impact loading. High velocity impact damage is usually easy to detect as it creates visible external damage. Low-velocity impacts are more complex to assess because, although significant damage can be generated internally, there can be little indication of external damage on the impacted surface, leading to the term BVID. Impact damage, especially barely visible impact damage, is therefore of primary concern for design and maintenance of modern aircraft composite structures. As a result there is a concerted research effort to improve the damage resistance and tolerance of these materials.
One of the great strengths of X-ray computed tomography over conventional inspection methods (ultrasound, thermography, radiography) is that it can image damage in 3D. or inter-ply interfaces. An X-ray computed tomography (CT) data processing methodology is developed to extract the through-thickness distribution of damage in curved or deformed composite panels. The method is applied to [(0°/90°)2]s carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) panels subjected to low velocity impact damage (5 J up to 20 J) providing 3D ply-by-ply damage visualisation and analysis. Our distance transform approach allows slices to be taken that approximately follow the composite curvature allowing the impact damage to be separated, visualised and quantified in 3D on a ply-by-ply basis. In this way the interply delaminations have been mapped, showing characteristic peanut shaped delaminations with the major axis oriented with the fibres in the ply below the interface. This registry to the profile of the panel constitutes a significant improvement in our ability to characterise impact damage in composite laminates and extract relevant measurements from X-ray CT datasets.
A numerical model for simulation of the steady-state thermal behaviour in keyhole mode welding has been developed. It is based on the equivalent heat source concept and consists of two parts: computational thermo-hydrodynamics and heat conduction. The solution of the thermo-hydrodynamics problem by the finite element method for a bounded domain results in a weld pool interface geometry being the input data for a subsequent heat conduction problem solved for a workpiece by a proposed boundary element method. The main physical phenomena, such as keyhole shape, thermo-capillary and natural convection and temperature-dependent material properties are taken into consideration.
The developed technique is applied to complete-penetration keyhole laser beam welding of a 15 mm thick low-alloyed steel plate at a welding speed of 33 mm/s and a laser power of 18 kW. The fluid flow of the molten metal has a strong influence on the weld pool geometry. The thermo-capillary convection is responsible for an increase of the weld pool size near the plate surfaces and a bulge formation near the plate middle plane. The evaluated and experimental molten pool, cross-sectional weld dimensions and thermal cycles of the heat affected zone are in close agreement.
The performance and safety of welded high-strength low-alloyed steel (HSLA) components are substantially affected by the stresses occurring during and after welding fabrication, especially if welding shrinkage and distortion are severely restrained. The surrounding structure of the whole component affects loads in the far-field superimposing with welding stresses in the near-field of the weld. In this study a unique testing facility was used to restrain shrinkage and bending while analyse multiaxial far-field loads (max. 2 MN) during assembly of thick-walled component. A novel approach for the assessment of the in-situ-measured far-field data in combination with the actual weld geometry was elaborated. For the first time, analyses of the global bending moments of restrained welds based on the neutral axis of the actual weld load bearing section were achieved. Hence, far-field measurements offered the possibility to determine critical near-field stresses of the weld crosssections for the entire joining process. This work presents the approach for far-to-near field in-situ determination of stresses in detail for the 2-MN-testing system based on an extensive experimental work on HSLA steel welds, which demonstrates sources and consequences of these high local welding stresses. Thus, it was clarified, why the first weld beads are crucial regarding welding stresses and cold cracking, which is well known, but has never been measured so far. Accompanying analyses using X-ray diffraction (XRD) after welding show effects on local residual stress distributions. These analyses indicated viable prospects for stress reduction during assembly of thick-walled HSLA steel components.
