Hydrogen in aluminium can cause embrittlement and critical failure. However, the behaviour of hydrogen in aluminium was not yet understood. Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung were able to locate hydrogen inside aluminium’s microstructure and designed strategies to trap the hydrogen atoms inside the microstructure. This can…
Despite the immanent advantages of metals and alloys processed by additive manufacturing (e.g. design freedom for complex geometry) and unexpected merits (e.g. superior mechanical performance) of AM processes, there are several remaining issues that need to be addressed in order to practically apply AM alloys to various industries. One of the most important issues is the mechanical behavior of AM alloys under hydrogen environments, since it is easily encountered in the industrial fields and has generally detrimental effects on metals and alloys.
Project C3 of the SFB/TR103 investigates high-temperature dislocation-dislocation and dislocation-precipitate interactions in the gamma/gamma-prime microstructure of Ni-base superalloys.
The project HyWay aims to promote the design of advanced materials that maintain outstanding mechanical properties while mitigating the impact of hydrogen by developing flexible, efficient tools for multiscale material modelling and characterization. These efficient material assessment suites integrate data-driven approaches, advanced…
Funding ended January 2023 This group was concerned with the 3D mapping of hydrogen at near-atomic scale in metallic alloys with the aim to better understand hydrogen storage materials and hydrogen embrittlement.
In this project, the effects of scratch-induced deformation on the hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility in pearlite is investigated by in-situ nanoscratch test during hydrogen charging, and atomic scale characterization. This project aims at revealing the interaction mechanism between hydrogen and scratch-induced deformation in pearlite.
Hydrogen at crack tips can embrittle steels and lead to catastrophic material failure. In this project we develop a continuum model for the formation of hydride zones in the tensile regions of a crack tip. It changes the fracture properties of static and propagating fractures.
