Thermal Properties of Plasticized Cellulose Acetate and Its β-Relaxation Phenomenon
(2021-04-21)
Cellulose acetate (CA), an organic ester, is a biobased polymer which exhibits good mechanical properties (e.g., high Young’s modulus and tensile strength). In recent decades, there has been significant work done to verify the thermal and thermomechanical behaviors of raw and plasticized cellulose acetate. In this study, the thermomechanical properties of plasticized cellulose acetate—especially its β-relaxation and activation energy—were investigated. The general thermal behavior was analyzed and compared with ...

Mittelalter erschließen
(2021-07-15)
Research communication has been gaining public attention in recent years. Therefore, medievalists also need to focus on the transfer of their research topics to the public both within and outside the university. Based on current political demands calling for a change in communication culture, the article first of all deals theoretically with two different concepts of research communication, by distinguishing between forms of translation and those of popularization. Numerous public events, exhibitions, and cooperative ...

Microstructural and mechanical properties of AlSi10Mg: Hybrid welding of additively manufactured and cast parts
(2022-12-07)
Welding and joining of hybrid components consisting of additively manufactured (AM) parts and conventionally processed parts offer new opportunities in structural design. In the present study, AlSi10Mg specimens were fabricated using two different manufacturing processes, i.e., laser-based powder-bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M) and casting, and welded by means of friction stir welding (FSW). Material strength of dissimilar welded joints was found to be governed by the as-cast material, which is characterized by a ...

Additive Manufacturing of Binary Ni–Ti Shape Memory Alloys Using Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion: Functional Reversibility Through Minor Alloy Modification and Carbide Formation
(2022-11-30)
Shape memory alloys (SMAs), such as Ni–Ti, are promising candidates for actuation and damping applications. Although processing of Ni–Ti bulk materials is challenging, well-established processing routes (i.e. casting, forging, wire drawing, laser cutting) enabled application in several niche applications, e.g. in the medical sector. Additive manufacturing, also referred to as 4D-printing in this case, is known to be highly interesting for the fabrication of SMAs in order to produce near-net-shaped actuators and ...

Electrochemical polarization behavior and superelastic properties of a Fe–Mn–Al–Ni–Cr shape memory alloy
(2022-10-22)
The present study investigates the corrosion behavior of a Fe–Mn–Al–Ni–Cr shape memory alloy in a 5.0 wt% NaCl solution in combination with the functional properties. In a single crystalline condition, the investigated alloy shows a superior superelastic response with a maximum recovery strain of 5.2%. Furthermore, the results of the potentiodynamic polarization and impedance spectroscopy show that the addition of chromium generally improves corrosion resistance by increasing the resistance to localized corrosion. ...

Consumers ’ perception of sustainable packaging in the food industry: An online experiment
(2022-01)
Consumers evaluate products and make purchasing decisions based on packaging and its sustainable aspects. This research investigated how different packages and their quality, eco-friendliness, expensiveness, and convenience affected consumers’ intentions to purchase. Our sample comprised 299 French consumers of muesli cereals. We conducted an online choice experiment to analyze and measure consumers’ perception of sustainable packaging, comparing three distinct experimental groups. Findings revealed that quality and ...

Geschichtswissenschaft
(2021-07-15)
Die mittelalterliche Geschichte ist derzeit noch relativ fester Bestandteil des allgemeinen Geschichtsunterrichts, obwohl die zeitliche Differenzierung durch die Kompetenzorientierung in den Lehrplänen immer weiter zurückgedrängt wird. Anders als rein chronologisch-inhaltliche Lehrpläne bietet die Kompetenzorientierung jedoch grundsätzlich gute Möglichkeiten, ‚mittelalterliches‘ Material einzubauen. In den meisten geisteswissenschaftlichen Fakultäten existiert in der Regel – mit einigen Ausnahmen – eine eigene ...

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 ...

Cooling rate as a process parameter in advanced roll forming to tailor microstructure,mechanical and corrosion properties of EN AW 7075 tubes
(2022-12-14)
The effects of solution heat treatment parameters and quench media as a processing tool for tailoring microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties in roll forming of EN AW 7075 alloy were studied. The highest yield stress and ultimate tensile strength were obtained for the specimens quenched in water, while the air-cooled specimens exhibited inferior mechanical properties. Microstructural analysis of specimens showed that except water-quenched specimens, the parts cooled/quenched in oil, in direct contact with ...

On the low-cycle fatigue behavior of thermo-mechanically processed high-strength aluminum alloys
(2021)
In the present work low-cycle fatigue experiments were carried out on thermo-mechanically processed AA6082 and AA7075 sheets to evaluate mechanical properties under cyclic loading. Different cooling rates imposed by use of tempered forming tools after solutionizing and subsequent aging treatment led to the formation of precipitates with differing sizes and morphologies. Specimens thermo-mechanically processed in tools with temperatures of 24 °C and 200 °C showed superior mechanical properties under both monotonic and ...
