    Dissolution and precipitation of copper-rich phases during heating and cooling of precipitation-hardening steel X5CrNiCuNb16-4 (17-4 PH)
    (Dordrecht [u.a.] : Springer Science + Business Media B.V, 2020) Rowolt, Christian; Milkereit, Benjamin; Springer, Armin; Kreyenschulte, Carsten; Kessler, Olaf
    Continuous heating transformation (CHT) diagrams and continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagrams of precipitation-hardening steels have the drawback that important information on the dissolution and precipitation of Cu-rich phases during continuous heating and cooling are missing. This work uses a comparison of different techniques, namely dilatometry and differential scanning calorimetry for the in situ analysis of the so far neglected dissolution and precipitation of Cu-rich phases during continuous heating and cooling to overcome these drawbacks. Compared to dilatometry, DSC is much more sensitive to phase transformation affecting small volume fractions, like precipitation. Thus, the important solvus temperature for the dissolution of Cu-rich phases was revealed from DSC and integrated into the CHT diagram. Moreover, DSC reveals that during continuous cooling from solution treatment, premature Cu-rich phases may form depending on cooling rate. Those quench-induced precipitates were analysed for a broad range of cooling rates and imaged for microstructural analysis using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. This information substantially improves the CCT diagram.

    In situ powder X-ray diffraction during hydrogen reduction of MoO3 to MoO2
    (Amsterdam [u.a.] : Elsevier Science, 2022) Burgstaller, M.; Lund, H.; O'Sullivan, M.; Huppertz, H.
    The hydrogen reduction of molybdenum trioxide to molybdenum dioxide is not yet fully understood as evident by continuous scientific interest. Especially the effect of the potassium content on the reduction process has not yet been considered. We prepared several samples of molybdenum trioxide containing varying amounts of potassium by addition of potassium molybdate (K2MoO4). In situ powder X-ray diffraction experiments were then conducted to study the hydrogen reduction of these samples. We especially focused on the influence of the alkali content and on gaining insight into the importance of the intermediary product γ-Mo4O11. During the reduction process, MoO2 is formed from the reduction of MoO3, which then reacts with the starting material to form γ-Mo4O11. With increasing potassium content, the reduction rate is decreased and the fractional content of γ-Mo4O11 built up during the reduction process is increased. As evident from bulk sample reduction, this results in a significant increase in the grain size visualized via scanning electron microscopy. Our investigations once again underline the importance of γ-Mo4O11 on the morphology of the resulting MoO2 powder.

    Heat accumulation during femtosecond laser treatment at high repetition rate – A morphological, chemical and crystallographic characterization of self-organized structures on Ti6Al4V
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2021) Schnell, Georg; Lund, Henrik; Bartling, Stephan; Polley, Christian; Riaz, Abdullah; Senz, Volkmar; Springer, Armin; Seitz, Hermann
    This study presents a detailed characterization of self-organized nano- and microstructures on Ti6Al4V evoked by different scanning strategies and fluences with a 300 fs laser operating at a laser wavelength of 1030 nm. The resulting surface morphology was visualized via field emission scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM) images of the surface and cross-sections. X-ray diffraction (XRD)-analysis was performed to analyse changes in crystal structures. The chemical surface composition of the near-surface layer was determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Results show a significant influence of heat accumulation while processing with high laser repetition rates on the formation, crystallinity and chemical composition of self-organized structures depending on the scanning strategy. The ablation with different laser scanning strategies led to varying dynamics of growth-mechanisms of self-organized structures, formation of intermetallic phases (Ti3Al), sub-oxides and oxides (Ti6O, TiO) as well as ions (Ti3+, Ti4+) in surface layer reliant on applied fluence. Furthermore, investigations revealed a heat-affected zone up to several micrometers in non-ablated material. © 2021 The Authors
