In dem Projekt soll die vollständige Wiederverwertbarkeit der Schlacke und ihrer Bestandteile demonstriert werden. Dazu gehören die vollständige Rückgewinnung der metallischen Phase, die in die Edelstahlherstellung zurückgeführt werden kann, sowie die Aufwertung der mineralischen Fraktion, die ihre uneingeschränkte Verwendung als Zementzumahlstoff oder mineralischer Baustoff erlaubt. Bei geeigneter Prozessführung des elektrischen Lichtbogenofens können durch „reduzierendes Schmelzen“ die chromhaltigen Wertstoffe zusammen mit anderen Schwermetallen zu 97% in einer Metalllegierung angereichert und separiert werden. Diese kann als Rohstoff in der Metallurgie eingesetzt werden. Der Chromgehalt der mineralischen Komponte der Schlacke konnte von ca. 3% auf unter 0,1% verringert werden. Die mineralische Fraktion lässt sich durch entsprechende Zuschläge während des Schmelzbetriebes und eine anschließende Granulation der schmelzflüssigen Phase zu einem Material aufwerten, das in seiner Zusammensetzung und seinen Eigenschaften typischen Zementkomponenten entspricht und als Rohstoff in der Zementproduktion eingesetzt werden kann. Dafür müssen allerdings noch die rechtlichen Voraussetzungen geschaffen werden, da der Rohstoffeinsatz gerade im Zement strengen Auflagen unterliegt und die Zemente bestimmte Normen erfüllen müssen.
Durch die in RECARC aufgezeigte Möglichkeit der Wiederverwertung können somit Stoffkreisläufe geschlossen werden, die ansonsten zu einem Verlust wertvoller Rohstoffe führen. Vor allem die steigenden Rohstoffkosten, aber auch die immer stärker limitierten CO2-Emissionen zeigen die hohe Relevanz im Umgang mit metallurgischen Reststoffen. Eine Überführung des in RECARC demonstrierten Verfahrens in die Industrie könnte einen wichtigen Beitrag zur nachhaltigen Schonung der natürlichen Ressourcen und der Umwelt leisten.
Over the last decade there have been increasing efforts to develop three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds for bone tissue Engineering from bioactive ceramics with 3D printing emerging as a promising technology. The overall objective of the present study was to generate a tissue engineered synthetic bone graft with homogenously distributed osteoblasts and mineralizing bone Matrix in vitro, thereby mimicking the advantageous properties of autogenous bone grafts and facilitating usage for reconstructing segmental discontinuity defects in vivo . To this end, 3D scaffolds were developed from a silica-containing calcium alkali orthophosphate, using, fi rst, a replica technique – the Schwartzwalder – Somers method – and, second, 3D printing, (i.e. rapid prototyping). The mechanical and physical scaffold properties and their potential to facilitate homogenous colonization by osteogenic cells and extracellular bone matrix formation throughout the porous scaffold architecture were examined.
Osteoblastic cells were dynamically cultured for 7 days on both scaffold types with two different concentrations of 1.5 and 3 × 10⁹ cells/l. The amount of cells and bone matrix formed and osteogenic marker expression were evaluated using hard tissue histology, immunohistochemical and histomorphometric analysis. 3D-printed scaffolds (RPS) exhibited more micropores, greater compressive strength and silica release. RPS seeded with 3 × 10⁹ cells/l displayed greatest cell and extracellular Matrix formation, mineralization and osteocalcin expression. In conclusion, RPS displayed superior mechanical and biological properties and facilitated generating a tissue engineered synthetic bone graft in vitro, which mimics the advantageous properties of autogenous bone grafts, by containing homogenously distributed terminally differentiated osteoblasts and mineralizing bone matrix and therefore is suitable for subsequent in vivo implantation for regenerating segmental discontinuity bone defects.
Solar glass in arid and semi-arid regions is exposed to sand storms which can affect the durability of PV modules. Related erosion processes have been extensively studied but the results given are difficult to compare due to being obtained by different variables like particle speed and sand mass. This study correlates the damage of solar panels to the cumulative impact energy as a global parameter.
The manufacture of sintered glasses and glass-ceramics, glass matrix composites, and glass-bounded ceramics or pastes is often affected by gas bubble formation. Against this background, we studied sintering and foaming of barium silicate glass powders used as SOFC sealants using different powder milling procedures. Sintering was measured by means of heating microscopy backed up by XPD, differential thermal analysis, vacuum hot extraction (VHE), and optical and electron microscopy. Foaming increased significantly as milling progressed. For moderately milled glass powders, subsequent storage in air could also promote foaming. Although the powder compacts were uniaxially pressed and sintered in air, the milling atmosphere significantly affected foaming. The strength of this effect increased in the order Ar ≈ N2 < air < CO2. Conformingly, VHE studies revealed that the pores of foamed samples predominantly encapsulated CO2, even for powders milled in Ar and N2. Results of this study thus indicate that foaming is caused by carbonaceous species trapped on the glass powder surface. Foaming could be substantially reduced by milling in water and 10 wt% HCl.
Surface roughness, RZ, normal transmittance, ΤN, total transmittance, ΤT, and photovoltaic (PV) module efficiency, ηS, were measured for commercial solar glass plates and PV test modules identically sandblasted with different loads of quartz sand (200–400 μm), impact inclination angles, and sand particle speed. Measured data are presented versus the specific energy uptake during sand blasting, E (J/m2). Cracks, adhering particles, and scratch-like textures probably caused by plastic flow phenomena could be observed after sand blasting. Their characteristic size was much smaller than that of sand particles. After blasting and subsequent cleaning, the glass surface was still covered with adhering glass particles. These particles, cracks, and scratch-like textures could not be removed by cleaning. For sand blasting with α = 30° inclination angle and E = 30 000 J/m2, normal transmittance, total transmittance, and relative module efficiency decreased by 29%, 2% and ∽2%, respectively. This finding indicates that diffusive transmission of light substantially contributes to PV module efficiency and that the module efficiency decrease caused by sand erosion can be better estimated from total than by normal transmittance measurements.
Experimental study on M23C6 nucleation and growth mechanisms in Ni-base superalloy single crystals
(2017)
The addition of carbon to Ni-base superalloy single crystals has been increasingly carried out to improve low angle grain boundary (LAGB) resistance and castability. Consequently, the precipitation of carbides is highly probable during long-term application of components subjected to higher temperatures (> 1000 °C). While the view on the role of carbides as strengthening or detrimental is polemical, their inevitable increased presence in carbon-doped alloys must be addressed. In the present work, the evolution of M23C6 carbides forming in the commercial grade Ni-base superalloy LEK 94 during high-temperature and low-stress creep exposure is assessed. Although carbon is not intentionally added to the LEK 94 alloy, it admits up to 0.1 at. %, which together with the high content of M23C6-forming transition metals, leads to their precipitation. The precipitation is induced here during creep experiments at 1020 °C and a nominal applied stress of 160 MPa along [001]. The correlation of precipitation and external load is carried out by evaluating the carbides in the gage section of parallel and circularly notched cylindrical samples, as well as in their heads. Characterization is made by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Although primary MC carbides form mostly in interdendritic regions during casting, high temperature exposure induces M23C6 carbide nucleation especially in the γ phase of dendritic regions, where a stronger partitioning of refractory elements is present. The carbides have a needle shape with their main axis on 〈100〉 and a cube-on-cube orientation relationship. They present incoherent {100} facets along their elongated region and semi-coherent {111} facets at their ends. Their nucleation and growth mechanisms are discussed based on microstructural observation under different experimental conditions.
The demand for improved castability and low angle grain boundary (LAGB) resistance has led to the addition of low contents of e.g., B, Hf, Zr or C, into large industrial gas turbine components made of Ni-base superalloy single crystals (SXs). Due to the long-term application of Ni-base superalloy SX components in the temperature regime > 1000 °C, the formation of carbides is highly probable, which could jeopardize mechanical properties, such as high cycle fatigue. In the present contribution, the effect of internal and external stresses on the nucleation and growth characteristics of M23C6 carbides is investigated. Creep experiments are performed on the Ni-base superalloy SX LEK 94, which shows a low C concentration (= 0.1 at. %), at 1020 °C under parallel and circularly notched tensile specimens at a nominal stress of 160 MPa in the crystallographic direction [001]. The carbides are then characterized via scanning (S) and transmission (T) electron microscopy (EM). Nucleation is enhanced in the dendritic cores, often as coalesced colonies, extending over micrometers within M-rich (M: Cr, Re, W, Mo) γ channels. Lath shapes with facets on {100} (parallel to growth direction) and {111} are common. These facets exist since early stages (Fig.1a) and later develop misfit dislocations (Fig.1b), preserving the orientation relationship {100}γ || {100}M23C6. Fig. 1c shows a region from the creep gage, where carbides interact with superdislocations in the γ’ phase. Possible mechanisms are discussed.
The present work describes the shear creep behavior of the superalloy LEK 94 at temperatures between 980 and 1050 °C and shear stresses between 50 and 140 MPa for loading on the macroscopic crystallographic shear system (MCSS) (011)[01-1]. The strain rate versus strain curves show short primary and extended secondary creep regimes. We find an apparent activation energy for creep of Qapp = 466 kJ/mol and a Norton-law stress exponent of n = 6. With scanning transmission electron microscopy, we characterize three material states that differ in temperature, applied stress, and accumulated strain/time. Rafting develops perpendicular to the maximum principal stress direction, gamma channels fill with dislocations, superdislocations cut gamma' particles, and dislocation networks form at gamma/gamma' interfaces. Our findings are in agreement with previous results for high-temperature and low-stress [001] and [110] tensile creep testing, and for shear creep testing of the superalloys CMSX-4 and CMSX-6 on the MCSSs (111)[01-1] and (001)[100]. The parameters that characterize the evolving gamma/gamma' microstructure and the evolving dislocation substructures depend on creep temperature, stress, strain, and time.
New fluorinated coordination polymers were prepared mechanochemically by milling the alkaline earth metal hydroxides MII(OH)2·xH2O (MII: Ca, Sr) with tetrafluoroisophthalic acid (H2mBDC-F4). The structures of [{Ca(mBDC-F4)(H2O)2}·H2O] and [{Sr(mBDC-F4)(H2O)2}·H2O] were determined based on ab initio calculations and their powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data. The compounds are isomorphous and crystallize in the orthorhombic space group P212121. The determined structures were validated by using extended X-ray absorption (EXAFS) data. The new materials were thoroughly characterized using elemental analysis, thermal analysis, magic angle spinning NMR, and attenuated total reflection-infrared spectroscopy. Further characterization methods such as BET, dynamic vapor sorption, and scanning electron microscopy imaging were also used. Our investigations indicate that mechanochemistry is an efficient method for preparing such materials.
Two strontium-based dicarboxylate systems [Sr(oBDC-F4)(H2O)2] (1) and [{Sr(oBDC)(H2O)2)·H2O] (2) were synthesized mechanochemically via milling of Sr(OH)2·8H2O with tetrafluorophthalic acid (H2oBDC-F4) or phthalic acid (H2oBDC), respectively. The new structures were determined ab initio from the powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data. Both compounds 1 and 2 crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21 /c as two-dimensional coordination polymers (2D-CPs). The determined structures were validated by extended X-ray absorption (EXAFS) data. Compounds 1 and 2 show different thermal stabilities. The fluorinated CP 1 is decomposed at 300 °C while the nonfluorinated CP 2 transforms into a new phase after thermal treatment at 400 °C. The two hydrated CPs exhibit small surface areas which increase after the thermal posttreatment for 1 but remains unchanged for the dehydrated sample of 2. Dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) experiments indicate that both the dehydrated and hydrated samples of 2 depict no significant differences in their adsorption isotherms. The DVS of water indicates that the phase transition after thermal posttreatment of 2 is irreversible.
In this paper, we present a study aimed at characterizing the optimal fiber optic components for Brillouin sensing in multimode fibers. For this purpose the use of single-mode and multimode circulators as well as couplers typically used in the Brillouin measurement setups was investigated. On the one hand the undesired coupling losses between conventional fiber optic measurement system components and a multimode sensor fiber can be overcome by replacing the singlemode components with their own multimode equivalents. On the other hand the use of multimode fiber optic circulators and multimode couplers affects the mode distribution of laser light which can impair the measurement signal backscattered in the multimode sensor fibers. In view of an increasing interest in high strain measurements using polymer optical fibers (POFs) as Brillouin-distributed sensors the investigation on Brillouin scattering effects in multimode fibers (MMFs) was performed on a low-loss perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fiber (PFGI-POF). The obtained results were compared with those of a standard graded-index multimode (GI-MMF) silica glass optical fiber (GOF).
This study confirms the relevance of the adaptation of the measurement system components to the use of the multimode sensor fibers. In addition, due to mode coupling effects occurring in the tested POF itself, the results show differences in the yield of the components adaptation in the sensory implementation of the two kinds of the tested optical fibers.
Geothermieanlage werden teilweise unter extremen Bedingungen mit sehr salzhaltigen Wässern betrieben. Obwohl C-Stahl häufig für die Konstruktion verwendet wird, ist er in einem Hoch-temperatur- und Hochdrucksystem anfällig für gleichmäßige und örtliche Korrosion. Daher soll ein Beschichtungssystem den C-Stahl schützen.

Ein neuartiger Modellierungsansatz für die Berechnung des transienten Temperaturfeldes beim Laserstrahlschweißen mit einer äquivalenten Wärmequelle wurde vorgestellt. Das numerische Modell wurde in zwei Studien unterteilt. Im ersten Teil wurde der Laserstrahlschweißprozess in einer stationären Schmelzbadsimulation untersucht. Die lokale Schmelzbadgeometrie und das Temperaturfeld wurden unter Berücksichtigung der Effekte der thermokapillaren und freien Konvektion, der latenten Wärme und der temperaturabhängigen Materialeigenschaften bis hin zur Verdampfungstemperatur ermittelt. Die Ergebnisse wurden benutzt, um eine äquivalente volumetrische Wärmequelle zu definieren. In der folgenden Studie wurde damit das transiente Temperaturfeld im geschweißten Bauteil berechnet. Die numerischen Ergebnisse wurden durch parallel laufende Experimente validiert.
Transient process simulation of heat transfer in laser beam welding with an equivalent heat source
(2017)
A multi-physics modelling framework developed for the prediction of the three-dimensional transient temperature field of the laser welding process is presented. The numerical model consists of two studies. In the first study, a steady-state CFD process simulation of full-penetration keyhole laser beam welding was performed. Considering the effects of latent heat, natural and thermo-capillary convection and temperature-dependent material properties up to evaporation temperature the local weld pool geometry and temperature field were obtained. These results were used in the second subsequent study, as an equivalent volumetric heat source, by the prediction of the transient thermal cycle during and after fusion welding. Here the energy input and the movement of the heat source were realized by a novel technique, making use of pointwise constraints and a moving mesh provided with helper lines and additional remeshing condition. The numerically calculated results were compared to experimentally observed weld pool shapes and time-temperature curves and show a very good agreement.
Der vorgestellte Modellierungsprozess dient zur Abschätzung einer geeigneten äquivalenten Wärmequelle und Berechnung des thermischen Verhaltens beim Laserstrahlschweißen. Die Methode Kombiniert die Vorteile von gägngigen Simulationsverfahren und reduziert die berücksichtigte Anzahl an physikalischen Aspekten und Kalibrierungsparameter. Durch die modellierten physikalischen Phänomene konnten die Informationen über die Strömung im Schmelzbad und dessen Einfluss auf die resultierende lokale Temperaturverteilung und folglich auf das transiente Temperaturfeld gewonnen werden. Dadurch wurde die Simulatioszeit(inkl. Kalibrierungsaufwand) auf weniger als einen Tag Rechenzeit verringert.

A copolymer consisting of acrylamide (AAm) and acrylonitrile (AN) in aqueous solution was investigated using broadband dielectric spectroscopy at frequencies between 10⁻¹ Hz and 10⁶ Hz in the temperature range from 2 °C to 60 °C. This system shows an UCST phase behavior. The phase transition and aggregation behavior is monitored by both the temperature and frequency dependence of the complex conductivity σ*(f, T), where the AN fraction and the concentration of the solution were varied.
Additionally, the dielectric data are compared with the results obtained from dynamic light scattering measurements. The temperature dependence of the DC conductivity (σDC) of the copolymer solution is monitored and the phase transition temperature (PTT) of the poly(AAm-co-AN) copolymer is deduced from a change in the T-dependence of the DC conductivity. The change in σDC can be explained by decreased effective charge carrier mobility and a reduction of the effective charge number density at temperatures below the phase Transition temperature of the poly(AAm-co-AN) solution. A pronounced interfacial polarization effect on the frequency dependence of the real part of the conductivity (σ') is observed at temperatures below the phase Transition temperature. The charge carriers are blocked at the formed aggregates giving rise to this interfacial polarization. The dependence of the interfacial polarization on the acrylonitrile fraction in the copolymer and the concentration of the solution is studied in detail and conclusions concerning the internal structures of the copolymer aggregates are drawn.
An UCST-type copolymer of acrylamide (AAm) and acrylonitrile (AN) (poly(AAm-co-AN)) was prepared by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and its temperature-induced phase transition and aggregation behaviour studied by turbidimetry, static and dynamic light scattering, small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) measurements. The phase transition temperature was found to increase with increasing AN content in the copolymer, concentration of the solutions and copolymer chain length. A significant effect was observed onto the phase transition temperature by addition of different electrolytes into the copolymer solution. The copolymer chains were aggregated below the phase transition temperature and disaggregated above it. The size of the aggregates increases with increasing AN contents and concentration of the copolymer solutions below the phase transition temperature. The copolymer chains were expanded and weekly associated in solution above the phase transition temperature. A model is proposed to explain such association–aggregation behaviour of poly(AAm-co-AN) copolymers depending on AN contents and concentration of the copolymer solutions as a function of temperature.
Ein neuer Ansatz bei elektrochemischen Korrosionsuntersuchungen kann durch den Einsatz von gelartigen Elektrolyten als Alternative zu wässrigen Prüfelektrolyten beschritten werden. Gelartige Elektrolyte ermöglichen minimalinvasive Untersuchungen an natürlich gebildeten Zinkdeckschichten. Dadurch können korrosionsrelevante Kennwerte ermittelt werden, die Aussagen zur Deckschichtbildung und zur Stabilität der gebildeten Deckschichten unter verschiedenen klimatischen Bedingungen erlauben. In diesem Beitrag wird anhand verschiedener Deckschichtzustände an Zink der Mehrwert von Untersuchungen mit gelartigen Elektrolyten für die Korrosionsforschung verdeutlicht.
Der Beitrag stellt eine neue Herangehensweise zur Bestimmung und Bewertung von Tafelfaktoren unter Verwendung gelartiger Elektrolyte und der Electrochemical Frequency Modulation (EFM) vor. Diese relativ neue elektrochemische Methode bietet die Möglichkeit, innerhalb einer Messung und in kurzen Messintervallen sowohl Polarisationswiderstände als auch Tafelfaktoren zu bestimmen. Ausgehend von einer umfassenden Parameterstudie wird gezeigt, dass ein direkter Zusammenhang zwischen den beiden Werten besteht, der mathematisch beschrieben werden kann. Die ermittelten B-Werte werden in diesem Beitrag vorgestellt und hinsichtlich ihrer Anwendbarkeit und Grenzen diskutiert.

The paper presents a new method for the determination and evaluation of tafel factors using gel-type electrolytes and electrochemical frequency modulation technique (EFM). This relatively new electrochemical method offers the possibility to determine both polarization resistances and tafel factors within one measurement and in short measuring intervals. Starting from a comprehensive parameter study it is shown that a direct relationship between the two values exists that can be described mathematically. This contribution presents the determined tafel factors for the system gel-type electrolyte/zinc and discusses their applicability and their limits.

Influence of corundum grinding processes on the corrosion behaviour of austenitic stainless steels
(2017)
The scientific poster shows by means of corrosion testing in combination with surface analytical methods to which degree corundum grinding influences the corrosion behaviour of stainless steel surfaces. The austenitic stainless steel AISI 304 from a consistent heat was used for all investigations to guarantee the same chemical composition and thus no additional influences caused by the material itself. A wide range of different grinding parameters such as pressure, cooling medium and grain size of the abrasive was varied. Thus, comparison of the corrosion behaviour of different surface states and the evaluation of an optimum grinding process using corundum abrasives were possible. The results will contribute to present discussions and give novel impulses for companies in the metalworking industry.
Welding Technology
(2017)
The paper deals with a numerical finite element simulation of the residual stress evolution in friction stir welding of 6 mm thick aluminum alloy AA2024-T3. The transient thermal field during the welding process was calculated with the commercial code COMSOL Multiphysics 5.0. Therefore, a thermal-pseudo-mechanical (TPM) heat source was implemented. A subsequent mechanical simulation was performed with varying hardening models for different welding speeds of 60 and 300 mm/min. The influence of softening of the material, which was due to hardening precipitation dissolution associated to the heating, was also investigated. Experiments in terms of thermocouple measurements as well as Vickers hardness and X-ray measurements of the residual stresses were conducted and compared to numerically obtained results. A qualitatively as well as quantitatively good agreement was found for different applied welding speeds.
Experimental determination and analysis of dynamic fracture toughness data of ductile cast iron
(2017)
Ductile Cast Iron materials (DCI) have become important structural materials. Neverthe-less, to draw maximum benefit from DCIs property potential, tailored testing methods must be provided. The established dynamic Jd-R and CTOD 5d-R curve procedures are based on material specifically developed, independent experimental techniques but pro-vide almost matching results. This can be seen as additional validation of the Jd procedure which was mandatory.
Fracture mechanics based component design requires appropriate fracture mechanics toughness data with respect to both, loading rate as well as test temperature. Taking high-rate loading into account such as with accidental scenarios, different standards such as ASTM E 1820 or BS 7448-3 provide some information on dynamic fracture mechanics testing. Nevertheless, the designations differ so that a validation of the own material specific test method used for dynamic R-curve determination is mandatory. In order to address this for ductile cast iron materials an experimental method for the reliable determination of dynamic J-integral crack resistance curves at -40 °C following the multiple specimen approach has been established and validated. The experimental concept offers some additional valuable features. Single values of dynamic crack initiation toughness can be determined using a single specimen technique based on crack sensors. Furthermore, an experimentally independent method is provided according to which CTOD δ5 R-curves can be established. The focus of the present paper is on the validation of the experimental low blow technique using a drop tower test system.
A drop tower test system was developed and set up to perform low blow tests at temperatures down to -40 °C. The system allows for a variation of the impact mass and height and was optimized for testing of ductile cast iron at stress intensity rates from approximately 5∙10⁴ to 3∙10⁵ MPa√ms⁻¹. This range of loading rate is characteristic for instance with crash scenarios of heavy sectioned DCI casks for radioactive materials. In order to address characteristic challenges of impact tests (test duration of microseconds up to milliseconds, inertial effects, signal oscillations), an appropriate full bridge strain gage method for the measurement of force directly on the specimen as well as a non-contact measurement of load line displacement using an optical extensometer have been developed and validated.
The low blow test requires either to prevent bouncing strikes of the hammer by using the stop block technique or to catch the hammer after its first strike. Both options are not part of the experimental concept and setup which have been realized here. The paper describes investigations which have been performed in order to make sure that bouncing strikes of the hammer do not cause additional crack extension in the specimen. This is necessary to ensure a unique relation between the work done and the achieved crack extension. The investigations covered the analysis of limit loads of the specimen with respect to the measured force. The measured stiffness of the specimen was assessed and signals of crack sensors were analyzed. Furthermore, an analysis of the mechanical behavior of the loading system and the specimen by optical observation was performed. Corresponding results are discussed in the paper. It had finally been proven that additional crack extension in the specimen due to bouncing strikes of the hammer is not to be expected under the given conditions of test setup, material and loading. It can be seen as a major experimental advantage that the striker does not have to be catched after the low blow test.

This technique is the first to provide a measurement of the full strain field locally in the immediate vicinity of the solidification front. Automatic identification of the cases that can be critical for the solidification crack formation the described procedure of the optical measurement allows the real material-dependent values of critical strain characterising the transition to hot cracking during laser welding processes to be determined. The local critical strain in vicinity of the solidification front has observed between 3.6 and 4.2%.
Using the novel optical measurement technique together with the optical flow algorithm, a twodimensional deformation analysis during welding has been conducted. This technique provides for the first time a measurement of the strain field locally in the immediate vicinity of the assumed solidification front. The described procedure of the opticalmeasurement allows to determine the real martial-dependent values of critical strain and strain rate characterising transition to the hot cracking during laser welding processes. The local critical strain that obtained in the assumed solidification showed that the local critical strain decreases as the strain rate increases. Moreover, this phenomenon has also been shown with results from the CTW-test, since the global strain decreases with an increase in the external strain rate.

Dehngeschwindigkeiten im heißrisskritischen Temperaturintervall sind Funktionen des Temperaturfeldes im Nahbereich des Schmelzbades (Schweißverfahren, Werkstoff), der thermo-mechanischen Kennwerte des Versuchswerkstoffes sowie von außen aufgebrachten Verfor-mungen. Da die lokal vorherrschenden Dehnungen im Nahbereich des Schmelzbades nicht bzw. nur mit sehr aufwendigen Methoden ermittelt werden können, dienen bespielweise die im CTW-Test (Controlled Tensile Weldability) von außen aufgebrachten Dehnungen oder Dehnraten als Kriterium für die Heißriss-empfindlichkeit. In dieser Studie wurde CTW-Test zur Untersuchung der Heißrissresistenz verschiedenen austenitischen Stählen eingesetzt.
Im Arbeitskreis von Herrn Prof. Dr. Menzel (TU Braunschweig) wurde in Sievershausen ein Vortrag zum Thema „Self-healing and mechanically reinforced silicone rubber by the use of multifuctional capsules“ gehalten. Der Vortrag beginnt mit einer kurzen Motivation und einem Überblick über selbstheilende Materialien. Daraufhin werden die Ergebnisse zur Entwicklung eines selbstheilenden Silikonelastomers auf Basis von Kapseln, bestehend aus einem PDMS Kern und einer POS Hülle, dargestellt. Es folgt die Analytik, die auf DLS, TGA, UV/Vis und Fluoreszenzspektroskopie sowie SEM beruht. Der Vortrag endet mit einem Ausblick über zukünftige Arbeiten auf dem Gebiet.
To avoid a catastrophic failure of insulation in high-voltage (HV) applications, a monitoring of partial discharges (PD) is necessary. Fluorescently labelled polymer optical fibres (F-POF) offer an electrically passive method for PD detection in HV facilities. F-POF could be embedded into HV cable insulation material, which are usually made of silicone rubber. Due to the difficult accessibility of HV cable accessories, a self-healing silicone rubber, based on incorporated capsules, with prolonged service life after PD detection represents an attractive material design for HV electrical insulation.
To avoid a catastrophic failure of insulation in high-voltage (HV) applications, a monitoring of partial discharges (PDs) is necessary. Fluorescently labelled polymer optical fibers (F-POF) offer an electrically passive method for PD detection in HV facilities. F-POFs could be embedded in HV cable accessories, which are usually made of silicone rubber. Herein they detect the light emitted by the PD and convert it into an electrical signal that can be monitored. Due to the difficult accessibility of HV cable accessories, a self-healing silicone rubber with prolonged service life after PD detection represents an attractive material design for HV accessories. With this contribution, we would like to present and discuss the possibilities of combining self-healing materials with POF-based sensors for PD detection in HV applications.
Zur messtechnischen Analyse des Schwingungsverhaltens von Festkörpern kann die Bewegung der Oberfläche mit einem Laservibrometer vermessen werden. Für bestimmte Anwendungen, beispielsweise bei der Charakterisierung von anisotropen Werkstoffeigenschaften, ist eine mehrdimensionale Bestimmung der Schwingungskomponenten notwendig. Zur Umsetzung des Messprinzips wird ein Ansatz mit einem Einpunkt-Vibrometer verfolgt, welcher sequenziell die Messpunkte aus mehreren Winkeln analysiert und unter Verwendung der Winkelbeziehungen die Normal- und In-Plane-Komponenten der Schwingung berechnet. Die exakte Positionierung des Lasers aus verschiedenen Winkeln stellt durch die hohen Frequenzen und die damit verbundenen Wellenlängen im mm-Bereich die wesentliche Herausforderung bei der Umsetzung des Messverfahrens dar. Bereits kleine Abweichungen führen zu einem hohen Phasenversatz und somit zu nicht tolerierbaren Messfehlern. Unter Berücksichtigung schwer zu ermittelnder Geometrieinformationen wurde ein Verfahren entwickelt, mit dem eine ausreichende Positionierungsgenauigkeit gewährleistet werden kann. Im Vortrag werden zunächst die Fehlereinflüsse analysiert und die Umsetzung des Messverfahrens detailliert vorgestellt. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Schwingungskomponenten bis zu einer Frequenz von 1 MHz mit ausreichender Genauigkeit bestimmt werden können. Zusätzlich wird der Einfluss verschiedener Möglichkeiten zur Erhöhung der Reflektivität der Oberfläche auf die Ergebnisse untersucht.
Mechanochemistry is increasingly used as a ‘green alternative’ for synthesizing various materials including pharmaceutical cocrystals. Herein, we present the mechanochemical synthesis of three new cocrystals containing the API carbamazepine (cocrystals CBZ:Indometacin 1:1, CBZ:Benzamide 1:1, and CBZ:Nifedipine 1:1). The mechanochemical reaction was investigated in situ documenting a fast and complete reaction within one minute. Online NMR spectroscopy proved the direct influence of the dissolution behaviour of the coformers to the dissolution behaviour of the API carbamazepine. The dissolution behaviour of the organic cocrystals is compared to the behaviour of the pure drug indicating a general applicability of this approach for detailed cocrystal dissolution studies.
Copolymers made of polycarbonate (PC) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) are broadly applied in material science. High impact-stability and transparency are the marks of bisphenol-A polycarbonate. PDMS on the other hand excels in thermal stability, flame resistance and weatherability. Combining those favourable characteristics in a copolymer yields in a ductile but impact-resistant and flame retardant material. In order to understand the synthesis process and to improve the quality and characteristics of a copolymer, knowing its structure is essential. The challenge lies in the variety of heterogeneities like molecular mass-, block-size- and block-distribution.
This study addresses the structural characterization of PC-PDMS-copolymers using different liquid chromatographic techniques, including two dimensional combinations, hyphenated to MALDI-mass spectrometry and FTIR. The large difference in polarities of PC and PDMS is a challenge for liquid chromatography as well as ionization in MALDI. Nevertheless, we were able to differentiate between homopolymer and actual copolymer, clarify the presence of cyclic structures and gain information about the PDMS blocks
Im Rahmen eines BMWi Projekts der Fa. Innovent Jena, bei dem ein neuartiger optischer Sensor zur Bewertung der Oberflächenqualität und Reinheit von optischen Gläsern im Fokus stand, wurden die abbildende Ellipsometrie, die IR-Mikroskopie und die Weißlichtinterferenzmikroskopie als Referenzverfahren herangezogen. Mittels Brewster-Winkelmessungen konnten „Wolkenstrukturen“ identifiziert werden, die bei nachfolgenden Beschichtungsprozessen zu Schichtdefekten führen können. Außerdem wurden mittels Ellipsometrie Änderungen im Brechungsindex der Floatgläser (Luft- bzw. Zinnseite) nachgewiesen. Topographie Oberflächenmerkmale wie Welligkeit, Rauheit und Kreuzrillen konnten mittels Weißlichtinterferenzmikroskopie bzw. abbildender Ellipsometrie identifiziert werden.
Die Angabe der Messunsicherheit wird im Rahmen von Konformitätsbewertungen gefordert. Die Messunsicherheit gibt an, wie sicher der wahre Wert der Messgröße getroffen wird. Für ihre Ermittlung gibt es unterschiedliche Ansätze, allen voran der „Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement“ (GUM). In der geplanten Auditoren- und Bewerterschulung sollen in einem Übersichtsvortrag "Uncertainty Budgets in Measurement and Testing for Surface Characterization: Ellipsometry, Hardness and Adhesion Testing" Herangehensweisen und Methoden zur Ermittlung der Messunsicherheit vorgestellt und anschließend anhand beispielhafter Anwendungen aus den Arbeitsbereichen der BAM erklärend untersetzt werden.
Mit dieser Schulung sollen die Auditoren und Bewerter der BAM befähigt werden, geltende Anforderungen zur Messunsicherheit handhaben und beurteilen zu können.
Der Vortrag widmet sich modifizierten Oberflächen zur Erhöhung der Kratzbeständigkeit sowie entspre-chenden Prüfmethoden und bewertet deren Praxis-tauglichkeit. Nach einer Übersicht zu Begriffen und Definitionen wird die wirtschaftliche Bedeutung der Kratzbeständigkeit aufgezeigt. Neben generellen Anforderungen an Mess-und Prüfverfahren hinsicht-lich Einsatzbereichen, Messunsicherheit und Validie-rung werden diverse Verfahren zur Erzeugung und Bewertung Einzel- und Vielfach-Kratzern nebst ent-sprechenden Normen vorgestellt. Die analytische Charakterisierung, werkstofftechnische Gesichts-punkte und eine Zusammenstellung aktuell gültiger Normen zur Kratzbeständigkeit schließen den Vortrag ab.
