UVC Irradiation as a Surface Treatment of Polycarbonate to Generate Adhesion to Liquid Silicone Rubber in an Overmolding Process
(2024-04-18)
This study investigates the adhesion properties of polycarbonate (PC) and liquid silicone rubbers (LSR) through surface activation using ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation. While self-adhesive LSRs adhere easily to certain thermoplastic composites such as polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyamides (PAs), bonding to PC typically requires surface treatment due to the lack of compatible functional groups. Previous methods like plasma or flame treatment have been effective, but the use of UVC radiation for surface ...

A Novel Thermo-Mechanical Processing Route Exploiting Abnormal Grain Growth in Heusler-Type Co–Ni–Ga Shape Memory Alloys
(2022-10-04)
Heusler-type Co–Ni–Ga shape memory alloys attracted significant scientific attention owing to excellent superelasticity in single-crystalline state. However, due to pronounced anisotropy, polycrystalline Co–Ni–Ga suffers from transformation-induced constraints at grain boundaries and, thus, premature failure upon thermo-mechanical loading. The present study reports on a novel thermo-mechanical processing route. Hot rolling followed by solution-annealing promotes abnormal grain growth, eventually leading to high-performance ...

Ultra-high performance alkali-activated slag as a reusable mold for light metal casting
(2023-12-06)
Light metal die casting is usually performed using steel molds. However, these lead to a reduced quality of the casting due to the occurrence of metal corrosion on the surface and the incorporation of hydrogen into the casting as a result of required process chemistry. Ultra-high performance concrete based on alkali-activated slag can be used to produce mineral molds for aluminum casting. The use of reusable mineral molds not only enables the production of various thin-walled geometries. The risk of metal corrosion ...

Verbesserung der CO₂-Bilanz von Kalksandsteinen durch den Einsatz von Sägeschlamm als Optimierungszuschlag
(2023-12-06)
Rund 20% der aus den Rohstoffen Kalk, Sand und Wasser hergestellten Kalksandsteine (KS) in KS-XL-Formaten werden zur Vorkonfektionierung gesägt. Dabei fallen in den KS-Werken insgesamt rd. 20.000 t Sägeschlämme pro Jahr an, die derzeit keiner gezielten Verwendung zugeführt werden. Allerdings handelt es sich dabei bereits unter Einsatz von CO₂-intensivem Branntkalk gehärtetes Material, welches als Optimierungszusatz genutzt werden kann.
Insgesamt 13 verschiedene Sägeschlämme (SäS) wurden hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung ...

Latent heat effects in inductive heating of shape memory alloy fibers
(2023-11-23)
Motivation of the present work is an inductive heating process, used in manufacturing a new kind of improved ultra-high performance concrete. In this novel material, fibers made out of shape memory alloys are used to increase the maximum possible fiber volume fraction, or to create an internal state of compressive stress. In contrast to other works, the underlying microstructure transformation from martensite to austenite is highlighted based on thermal analysis. Dynamic scanning calorimetry measurements are adapted ...

Fibre reinforced ultra-high performance concrete – Rheology, fibre bond strength and flexural strength
(2023-12-06)
Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is characterised by a high compressive strength, high durability, and a dense microstructure. The latter causes UHPC to fail in a brittle and sometimes explosive manner. For this reason, UHPC is reinforced with microfibre reinforcement. On the one hand, these lead to increased tensile and bending loads being able to be absorbed, but above all to ductile post-fracture behaviour. The fibres used are mostly steel fibres.
An essential aspect of the fibre reinforcement is the bond ...

Funktionalisierung faserverstärkter Hochleistungsbetone mittels Formgedächtnislegierungen
(2023-12-06)
Faserverstärkte (Ultra-)Hochleistungsbetone ((U)HPC) werden bereits seit den 1970er Jahren in großen Mengen für die Herstellung von Betonfertigteilen verwendet. Fasern werden eingesetzt, um die Zugfestigkeit zu erhöhen und sprödes Versagen in duktiles Nachbruchverhalten umzuwandeln. Funktionale Formgedächtnislegierungen (FGL) als Bewehrung haben das Potenzial, in Form von Vorspannelementen im erhärteten Beton zu wirken und die Frischbetoneigenschaften zu verbessern.
FGL haben die Eigenschaft, sich an eine eingeprägte ...

Spatially resolved in situ analyses of the adsorption behavior of different admixtures on binders
(2023-12-06)
Admixtures play a key role in improving the performance of the cement paste matrix. A more efficient matrix can allow a reduction the binder content while maintaining the same properties. There is currently a lack of knowledge about the spatial distribution of admixtures in situ on binder surfaces which would facilitate the use of admixtures in general in inorganic binder systems. Imaging techniques such as confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and fluorescence microscopy can be used to study the spatiotemporal ...

Fracture behavior of ultra-high performance lightweight concrete: In situ investigations using μ-CT
(2023-12-06)
In various research projects at the University of Kassel, the concept of lightweight concrete has been combined with that of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). Due to the high performance of the UHPC matrix, lightweight concretes (UHPLC) with strengths of 60-130 MPa and bulk density of 1.5-1.9 kg/m³ were developed. This material can be used in many applications because of its low thermal conductivity, low weight and thus easy to transport, recyclable and can be prefabricated. Thus, it meets today's multifunctional ...

Analysis of the Machine-Specific Behavior of Injection Molding Machines
(2023-12-22)
The performance of an injection molding machine (IMM) influences the process and the quality of the parts manufactured. Despite increasing data collection capabilities, their machine-specific behavior has not been extensively studied. To close corresponding research gaps, the machine-specific behavior of two hydraulic IMMs of different sizes and one electric IMM were compared with each other as part of the investigations. Both the start-up behavior from the cold state and the behavior of the machine at different ...
