Bend Straightening of a Carbonitrided Gear Shaft – Consequences on Residual Stresses and Retained Austenite near the Surface
(2017-06-20)
Carbonitriding of shafts in drive technology is strongly connected with distortion. Bend straightening is an important process step in order to eliminate distortion without removing the hardened surface layer. As shown in several investigations, even for simple part geometries, bending induced stresses and plastic deformations have a strong impact not only on the residual stress state but also on the microstructure after straightening. As gear shafts become increasingly filigree and complex in their geometry, the ...

Climatic Ageing of Components of Polymer Based Electrochromic Devices
(2013-09-09)
Combining a shading function and a polycarbonate window displays an attractive alternative to the currently employed glass roof in vehicles. However, the ageing of such a device must be investigated before any application. Therefore, our investigations focus on the ageing of the components of a polycarbonate based electrochromic device. The optical, electrical, mechanical and electrochemical properties of the ion storage layer as well as the substrate will be assessed after storage in a climate with a high humidity ...

UV Surface Treatment of Polycarbonate for Adhesion Improvement to Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR)
(2018)
The adhesion of self-adhesive liquid silicone rubbers to thermoplasts is only possible for a few selected material combinations without a surface pretreatment. A UV pretreatment is effective for polycarbonate and short irradiation periods are sufficient. To clarify the required irradiation conditions that result in an improvement of adhesion, the varying irradiation conditions were assessed. FTIR-ATR spectroscopy was used for surface analysis to characterize the change in the polymer surface.

Spatio-temporal resolution studies on a highly compact ultrafast electron diffractometer
(2015)
Time-resolved diffraction with femtosecond electron pulses has become a promising technique to directly provide insights into photo induced primary dynamics at the atomic level in molecules and solids. Ultrashort pulse duration as well as extensive spatial coherence are desired, however, space charge effects complicate the bunching of multiple electrons in a single pulse.Weexperimentally investigate the interplay between spatial and temporal aspects of resolution limits in ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) on our ...
