Ti6Al4V lattice structures manufactured by electron beam powder bed fusion - Microstructural and mechanical characterization based on advanced in situ techniques
(2022-12-17)
Powder bed fusion (PBF) processes enable the manufacturing of complex components in a time- and cost-efficient manner. Especially lattice structures are currently focused since they show varying mechanical properties, including different deformation and damage behaviors, which can be used to locally tailor the mechanical behavior. However, the present process-structure-property relationships are highly complex and have to be understood in detail in order to enable an implementation of PBF manufactured lattice structures ...

Predicting Flow Stress Behavior of an AA7075 Alloy Using Machine Learning Methods
(2022-09-09)
The present work focuses on the prediction of the hot deformation behavior of thermo-mechanically processed precipitation hardenable aluminum alloy AA7075. The data considered focus on a novel hot forming process at different tool temperatures ranging from 24°C to 350°C to set different cooling rates after solution heat-treatment. Isothermal uniaxial tensile tests in the temperature range of 200°C to 400°C and at strain rates ranging from 0.001 s-¹ to 0.1 s-¹ were carried out on four different material conditions. ...

Novel Class of Rhenium Borides Based on Hexagonal Boron Networks Interconnected by Short B₂ Dumbbells
(2022-09-06)
Transition metal borides are known due to their attractive mechanical, electronic, refractive, and other properties. A new class of rhenium borides was identified by synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments in laser-heated diamond anvil cells between 26 and 75 GPa. Recoverable to ambient conditions, compounds rhenium triboride (ReB₃) and rhenium tetraboride (ReB₄) consist of close-packed single layers of rhenium atoms alternating with boron networks built from puckered hexagonal layers, which link ...

A new method for microscale cyclic crack growth characterization from notched microcantilevers and application to single crystalline tungsten and a metallic glass
(2022-06-22)
The lifetime of most metals is limited by cyclic loads, ending in fatigue failure. The progressive growth of cracks ends up in catastrophic failure. An advanced method is presented for the determination of cyclic crack growth on the microscale using a nanoindenter, which allows the characterization of > 10,000 loading cycles. It uses focused ion beam fabricated notched microcantilevers. The method has been validated by cyclic bending metallic glass and tungsten microcantilevers. The experiments reveal a stable crack ...

Effect of Cell Morphology on Flexural Behavior of Injection-Molded Microcellular Polycarbonate
(2022-05-19)
The quantitative study of the structure and properties relationship in cellular materials is mostly limited to cell diameter, cell density, skin layer thickness, and cell size distribution. In addition, the investigation of the morphology is generally carried out in two dimensions. Therefore, the
interrelation between morphological properties and mechanical characteristics of the foam structure has remained in an uncertain state. In this study, during the physical foaming process, a foam morphology is locally created ...

Hydrogen absorption of ultra-high strength aluminum-silicon coated 22MnB5 steels
(2022-12-30)
The hot forming process allows to produce safety-relevant structural components in the automotive industry with strengths of 1500 MPa and higher. Generally, high strengths make material sensitive to hydrogen embrittlement. The heat treatment in the hot forming process chain is a potential source of diffusible hydrogen for hot-dipped aluminum-silicon coated boron-manganese steels. In the present work, the influence of different process gases and furnace dwell times during the heat treatment was investigated. Humidified ...

Micromechanical Modeling of AlSi10Mg Processed by Laser-Based Additive Manufacturing: From as-Built to Heat-Treated Microstructures
(2022-08-13)
The unique microstructure of the alloy AlSi10Mg produced by the laser-based powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M) provides high-strength and high-strain-hardening capabilities of the material. The microstructure and mechanical properties of 3D-printed, i.e., additively manufactured, AlSi10Mg are significantly altered by post-building heat-treatment processes applied in order to tailor the final properties of the parts. Using an accurate computational model to predict and improve the mechanical performance of 3D-printed ...

Linking through-thickness cracks in metallic thin films to in-situ electrical resistance peak broadening
(2022-01-29)
Measurements of electrical resistance have been used extensively as a failure criterion in cyclically loaded conductive films. However, not much research has been performed on extracting additional information contained within such resistance data sets. This study shows that an increase in peak width evidences a transition from cracks bridging to through-thickness crack formation. A Au/Cr bilayer system on a polyimide substrate is used for data generation but the method is applicable to any material system where both ...

Additive Manufacturing of 3D Luminescent ZrO2:Eu3+ Architectures
(2022-04-27)
Implementation of more refined structures at the nano to microscale is expected to advance applications in optics and photonics. This work presents the additive manufacturing of 3D luminescent microarchitectures emitting light in the visible range. A tailor-made organo-metallic resin suitable for two-photon lithography is developed, which upon thermal treatment in an oxygen-rich atmosphere allows the creation of silicon-free tetragonal (t-) and monoclinic (m-) ZrO₂. The approach is unique because the tailor-made ...

Structural reorientation and compaction of porous MoS₂ coatings during wear testing
(2022-04-02)
Industrial upscaling frequently results in a different coating microstructure than the laboratory prototypes presented in the literature. Here, we investigate the wear behavior of physical vapor deposited (PVD) MoS2 coatings: A dense, nanocrystalline MoS2 coating, and a porous, prismatic-textured MoS2 coating. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations before and after wear testing evidence a crystallographic reorientation towards a basal texture in both samples. A basal texture is usually desirable due ...
