Micronization of biochar (BC) may ease its application in agriculture. For example, fine biochar powders can be applied as suspensions via drip-irrigation systems or can be used to produce grnulated fertilizers. However, micronization may effect important physical biochar properties like the water holding capacity (WHC) or the porosity.
Gas Analysis and Optimization of Debinding and Sintering Processes for Metallic Binder-Based AM*
(2022)
Binder-based additive manufacturing processes for metallic
AM components in a wide range of applications usually use
organic binders and process-related additives that must be
thermally removed before sintering. Debinding processes are
typically parameterized empirically and thus far from the optimum.
Since debinding based on thermal decomposition processes
of organic components and the subsequent thermochemical
reactions between process atmosphere and metal
powder materials make uncomplicated parameterization difficult,
in-situ instrumentation was introduced at Fraunhofer
IFAM. This measurement method relies on infrared spectroscopy
and mass spectrometry in various furnace concepts to
understand the gas processes of decomposition of organic
components and the subsequent thermochemical reactions
between the carrier gas atmosphere and the metal part, as well
as their kinetics. This method enables an efficient optimization
of the temperature-time profiles and the required atmosphere
composition to realize dense AM components with low contamination.
In the paper, the optimization strategy is presented,
and the achievable properties are illustrated using a fused
filament fabrication (FFF) component example made of 316L
stainless steel.
Das Thema Elektromobilität wird immer wichtiger, was unter anderem durch den Ausbau eines kabelgebunden Ladenetzes deutlich wird. Aber auch die Entwicklung berührungsloser Ladetechnologien schreitet voran. So existieren bereits zahlreiche Projekte, die das Laden von Elektrofahrzeugen untersuchen. Untersucht wird hierbei das induktive statische sowie induktive dynamische Laden. In Norwegen, als einer der am schnellsten wachsenden Märkte in Bezug auf die Elektromobilität, wurde im Rahmen dieser Entwicklungsarbeit im Jahr 2020 ein Projekt initiiert, welches das berührungslose Laden mittels Induktion in der Praxis untersucht.
Da die Elektromobilität auch regional ein wichtiges Thema ist und weiter voran gebracht wird, brachte das Induktionsprojekt aus Norwegen den Anstoß, ein derartiges Vorhaben in Offenburg zu initiieren. Ziel des Vorhabens ist dabei, an Taxiständen am Offenburger Bahnhof eine Infrastruktur für induktiv ladbare Taxen aufzubauen, damit Elektro-Taxen während sie auf Kunden warten, kabellos aufgeladen werden können. Da die Durchführung eines solchen Projekts möglicherweise sehr teuer ist, ist es sinnvoll zunächst zu überprüfen, ob einem derartigen Vorhaben etwas im Wege steht.
Daher ist das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit im Rahmen einer vorläufigen Machbarkeitsstudie die Frage zu erörtern, ob das Induktionsprojekt am Standort Offenburg eine detaillierte Machbarkeitsstudie rechtfertigt oder nicht und aufzuzeigen, welche noch zu klärenden Punkte es gibt.
Aus diesem Grund wurden sechs Bereiche einer Machbarkeitsstudie zur Analyse ausgewählt. Dabei wurden unter anderem die Themen Standortanalyse, Stakeholderanalyse oder die Technische Machbarkeit bearbeitet. Zur Veranschaulichung des Schwerpunkts des jeweiligen Analysebereichs, wurde zu Beginn jeden Analysebereichs eine oder mehrere Leitfragen gestellt. Weiterhin erfolgte eine Maßnahmenplanung, die den Erfolg des Projekts fördern könnte.
Das Ergebnis der vorläufigen Machbarkeitsstudie zeigt, dass keine Notwendigkeit zu einer detaillierten Machbarkeitsstudie besteht. Stattdessen könnte das Projekt direkt in die Projektvorbereitungs- bzw. Planungsphase übergehen, da über die wichtigsten Analysebereiche ausreichend Informationen gewonnen werden konnten und zu klärende Fragen aufgezeigt wurden. In einem nächsten Schritt könnte nun die konkrete Öffentlichkeitsarbeit und die Umsetzung der Maßnahmen durchgeführt werden.
In this paper, a temperature-dependent viscoplasticity model is presented that describes thermal and cyclic softening of the hot work steel X38CrMoV5-3 under thermomechanical fatigue loading. The model describes the softening state of the material by evolution equations, the material properties of which can be determined on the basis of a defined experimental program. A kinetic model is employed to capture the effect of coarsening carbides and a new isotropic cyclic softening model is developed that takes history effects during thermomechanical loadings into account. The temperature-dependent material properties of the viscoplasticity model are determined on the basis of experimental data measured in isothermal and thermomechanical fatigue tests for the material X38CrMoV5-3 in the temperature range between 20 and 650 °C. The comparison of the model and an existing model for isotropic softening shows an improved description of the softening behavior under thermomechanical fatigue loading. A good overall description of the experimental data is possible with the presented viscoplasticity model, so that it is suited for the assessment of operating loads of hot forging tools.
Inadequate mechanical compliance of orthopedic implants can result in excessive strain of the bone interface, and ultimately, aseptic loosening. It is hypothesized that a fiber-based biometal with adjustable anisotropic mechanical properties can reduce interface strain, facilitate continuous remodeling, and improve implant survival under complex loads. The biometal is based on strategically layered sintered titanium fibers. Six different topologies are manufactured. Specimens are tested under compression in three orthogonal axes under 3-point bending and torsion until failure. Biocompatibility testing involves murine osteoblasts. Osseointegration is investigated by micro-computed tomography and histomorphometry after implantation in a metaphyseal trepanation model in sheep. The material demonstrates compressive yield strengths of up to 50 MPa and anisotropy correlating closely with fiber layout. Samples with 75% porosity are both stronger and stiffer than those with 85% porosity. The highest bending modulus is found in samples with parallel fiber orientation, while the highest shear modulus is found in cross-ply layouts. Cell metabolism and morphology indicate uncompromised biocompatibility. Implants demonstrate robust circumferential osseointegration in vivo after 8 weeks. The biometal introduced in this study demonstrates anisotropic mechanical properties similar to bone, and excellent osteoconductivity and feasibility as an orthopedic implant material.
Biodegradable metals have entered the implant market in recent years, but still do not show fully satisfactory degradation behaviour and mechanical properties. In contrast, it has been shown that pure molybdenum has an excellent combination of the required properties in this respect. We report on PM based screen printing of thin-walled molybdenum tubes as a processing step for medical stent manufacture. We also present data on the in vivo degradation and biocompatibility of molybdenum. The degradation of molybdenum wires implanted in the aorta of rats was evaluated by SEM and EDX. Biocompatibility was assessed by histological investigation of organs and analysis of molybdenum levels in tissue extracts and body fluids. Degradation rates of up to 13.5 μm/y were observed after 12 months. No histological changes or elevated molybdenum levels in organ tissues were observed. In summary, the results further underline that molybdenum is a highly promising biodegradable metallic material.
Titanium and stainless steel are commonly known as osteosynthesis materials with high strength and good biocompatibility. However, they have the big disadvantage that a second operation for hardware removal is necessary. Although resorbable systems made of polymers or magnesium are increasingly used, they show some severe adverse foreign body reactions or unsatisfying degradation behavior. Therefore, we started to investigate molybdenum as a potential new biodegradable material for osteosynthesis in craniomaxillofacial surgery. To characterize molybdenum as a biocompatible material, we performed in vitro assays in accordance with ISO Norm 10993-5. In four different experimental setups, we showed that pure molybdenum and molybdenum rhenium alloys do not lead to cytotoxicity in human and mouse fibroblasts. We also examined the degradation behavior of molybdenum by carrying out long-term immersion tests (up to 6 months) with molybdenum sheet metal. We showed that molybdenum has sufficient mechanical stability over at least 6 months for implants on the one hand and is subject to very uniform degradation on the other. The results of our experiments are very promising for the development of new resorbable osteosynthesis materials for craniomaxillofacial surgery based on molybdenum.
During the coronavirus crisis, labs had to be offered in digital form in mechanical engineering at short notice. For this purpose, digital twins of more complex test benches in the field of fluid energy machines were used in the mechanical engineering course, with which the students were able to interact remotely to obtain measurement data. The concept of the respective lab was revised with regard to its implementation as a remote laboratory. Fortunately, real-world labs were able to be fully replaced by remote labs. Student perceptions of remote labs were mostly positive. This paper explains the concept and design of the digital twins and the lab as well as the layout, procedure, and finally the results of the accompanying evaluation. However, the implementation of the digital twins to date does not yet include features that address the tactile experience of working in real-world labs.
The energy system is changing since some years in order to achieve the climate goals from the Paris Agreement which wants to prevent an increase of the global temperature above 2 °C [1]. Decarbonisation of the energy system has become for governments a big challenge and different strategies are being stablished. Germany has set greenhouse gas reduction limits for different years and keeps track of the improvement made yearly. The expansion of renewable energy systems (RES) together with decarbonisation technologies are a key factor to accomplish this objective.
This research is done to analyse the effect of introducing biochar, a decarbonisation technology, and study how it will affect the energy system. Pyrolysis is the process from which biochar is obtained and it is modelled in an open-source energy system model. A sensibility analysis is done in order to assess the effect of changing the biomass potential and the costs for pyrolysis.
The role of pyrolysis is analysed in the form of different future scenarios for the year 2045 to evaluate the impact when the CO2 emission limit is zero. All scenarios are compared to the reference scenario, where pyrolysis is not considered.
Results show that biochar can be used to compensate the emissions from other conventional power plant and achieve an energy transition with lower costs. Furthermore, it was also found that pyrolysis can also reduce the need of flexibility. This study also shows that the biomass potential and the pyrolysis costs can strongly affect the behaviour of pyrolysis in the energy system.
Eco-Feasibility Study and Application of Natural Inventive Principles in Chemical Engineering Design
(2022)
The early stages of the front-end process development are critical for the future success of projects involving new technologies. The application of eco-inventive principles identified in natural systems to the design of chemical processes and equipment allows one to find ways to mitigate or avoid secondary ecological problems such as, for example, higher consumption of raw materials or energy, generation of hazardous waste and pollution of the environment by toxic chemicals. However, before implementing a new technology in a real operational environment, it is necessary to completely investigate its undesirable ecological impact and to evaluate the future viability of this technology. Therefore, the research paper presents a study of ecological feasibility of an innovative process design utilising natural eco-inventive principles and analyses the correlations between applied inventive principles. Such eco-feasibility study can be considered as an important decision gate to determine whether the technology implementation should be moved forward. Furthermore, the study evaluates the practicability of natural inventive principles to the eco-friendly process design and is illustrated with an example of a sustainable technology for nickel extraction from pyrophyllite.
