Exploring the mechanical properties of additively manufactured carbon-rich zirconia 3D microarchitectures
(2023-07-11)
Two-photon lithography (TPL) is a promising technique for manufacturing ceramic microstructures with nanoscale resolution. The process relies on tailor-made precursor resins rich in metal–organic and organic constituents, which can lead to carbon-based residues incorporated within the ceramic microstructures. While these are generally considered unwanted impurities, our study reveals that the presence of carbon-rich residues in the form of graphitic and disordered carbon in tetragonal (t-) ZrO₂ can benefit the ...

Influence of Cu Addition and Microstructural Configuration on the Creep Resistance and Mechanical Properties of an Fe-Based α/α′/α″ Superalloy
(2023-01-14)
Introducing Cu nanoparticles is an effective mechanism for strengthening and toughening Fe-based materials such as ultra-high-strength steels. Herein, the effect of Cu on the mechanical properties of a novel Fe-based α/α′/α″ superalloy is studied. Compared to a Cu-free reference alloy, nanoindentation reveals an increase in hardness, which was associated with the formation of Cu nanoparticles. Both alloys show room temperature (RT) compressive plastic strain at maximum stress greater than 8%, irrespective of the ...

Influence of Surface Mechanical Attrition Treatment (SMAT) on Microstructure, Tensile and Low-Cycle Fatigue Behavior of Additively Manufactured Stainless Steel 316L
(2023-08-29)
Direct Energy Deposition (DED), as one common type of additive manufacturing, is capable of fabricating metallic components close to net-shape with complex geometry. Surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) is an advanced surface treatment technology which is able to yield a nanostructured surface layer characterized by compressive residual stresses and work hardening, thereby improving the fatigue performances of metallic specimens. In the present study, stainless steel 316L specimens were fabricated by DED and ...

Parameter recommendation for injection molding based on similarity analysis of injection molded parts
(2023)
Injection molding is a widespread manufacturing process for producing complex plastic shapes. The process is controlled by a large number of parameters, which show interactions with each other. Thereby the determination of an optimal operating point during sampling is a resource-consuming and demanding task. The data, which is generated during sampling, is usually not used for subsequent sampling processes. In the context of Industry 4.0, manufacturing companies attempt to optimize production efficiency to save time ...

Baumwolle als Faserverstärkung
(2023)
Jedes Jahr landen große Mengen Textilen auf Deponien oder in der thermischen Verwertung. Ein Teil dieser Abfälle könnte allerdings auch als Rohstoffe für Verbundwerkstoffe dienen. Baumwollfasern eignen sich etwa als Verstärkungsfasern, die die mechanischen Eigenschaften von biobasierten Kunststoffen steigern. Durch die Nutzung solcher Abfallströme können in Zukunft kostengünstig und biobasiert Materialien verstärkt werden.

Mechanical Characterization and Simulation of Wood Textile Composites (WTC) supported by Digital Image Correlation (DIC)
(2023-05-30)
Wood Textile Composites (WTC) based on willow wood fabrics and polypropylene were produced using a hot compacting process in order to open up new and innovative areas of applications for wood. Due to their attractive and variable design, the WTCs are to be used in areas with a high visual impact, for example as a facade element. In tensile and 3-point bending tests, it was shown that the mechanical properties of WTC are strongly dependent on the heterogeneous structure of the composite. Both strength and elongation ...

Textile Waste Becomes Plastic Composites
(2023-09)
Every year, large quantities of textiles end up in landfills or in thermal recycling. However, some of this waste could also serve as raw materials for composite materials. Left-over cotton fibers of the textile industry, for example, are suitable as reinforcing fibers that enhance the mechanical properties of bio-based plastics. By using such waste streams, materials can be reinforced in a cost-effective and bio-based way in the future.

Beam powder bed fusion for direct microstructure design – In-depth analysis of prospects and limitations of the multi spot scanning strategy
(2023)
The electron beam powder bed fusion process generally results in a strong 〈001〉 texture alongside the build direction for Inconel 718. This is a result of prevailing high thermal gradients between the melted surface and the solid material. However, based on specific beam movement patterns, the solidification behaviour can be altered towards an equiaxed, isotropic microstructure. The present study focuses on the “multi spot scanning” strategy directly provided by the machine manufacturer. The operation mode of the ...

On the Monotonic and Cyclic Behavior of an Al-Mg-Zn-Cu-Si Compositionally Complex Alloy
(2023-08-03)
In present work, the monotonic and cyclic properties of a novel Al-Mg-Zn-Cu-Si compositionally complex alloy (CCA) are investigated. Microstructural studies reveal that a eutectic phase and fishbone-type structures are embedded in the Al-matrix. The mechanical properties of this CCA obtained under compressive loading are found to be promising. However, low ultimate strength and brittle behavior are seen under tension. The fatigue performance of the alloy in the low-cycle fatigue (LCF) regime is poor. Microstructural ...

Experimental Analysis of the Stability of Retained Austenite in a Low-Alloy 42CrSi Steel after Different Quenching and Partitioning Heat Treatments
(2023-06-21)
Quenching and partitioning (Q&P) steels are characterized by an excellent combination of strength and ductility, opening up great potentials for advanced lightweight components. The Q&P treatment results in microstructures with a martensitic matrix being responsible for increased strength whereas interstitially enriched metastable retained austenite (RA) contributes to excellent ductility. Herein, a comprehensive experimental characterization of microstructure evolution and austenite stability is carried out on a ...
