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…
Water electrolysis has the potential to become the major technology for the production of the high amount of green hydrogen that is necessary for its widespread application in a decarbonized economy. The bottleneck of this electrochemical reaction is the anodic partial reaction, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which is sluggish and hence…
We introduce a new experimental approach to the compositional and thermomechanical design and rapid maturation of bulk structural materials. This method, termed Rapid Alloy Prototyping (RAP), is based on semi-continuous high-throughput bulk casting, rolling, heat treatment and sample preparation techniques. 45 material conditions – i.e. 5 alloys with systematically varied composition, each modified by 9 different aging treatments – were produced and investigated within 35 hours. This accelerated screening of the tensile, hardness and microstructural properties as a function of chemical and thermomechanical parameters allows for the highly efficient and knowledge-based design of bulk structural alloys.
