#RISØ2024 | 2024-08 | Risø International Symposium on Materials Science · P. Zok, M. Busek, P. Reinstädt

Abstract: "Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) of Ti-6Al-4V enables high-performance components but requires tightly controlled build conditions. We combine optical monitoring and high-resolution indentation mapping to correlate melt pool stability with micro-mechanical properties. The study shows how in-situ data supports the identification of parameter windows with narrow hardness distributions and balanced residual stresses."

#MMI2022 | 2022-07 | Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik (MMI) · P. Zok, M. Spanier, D. Schubert

Abstract: "Arc stability with pulse current GMAW is investigated for thermomechanically rolled structural steel S460M. Special focus is placed on heat input, filler selection and the resulting mechanical properties of the welded joints. Mechanical testing (instrumented indentation, tensile, Charpy) reveals parameter combinations with higher throughput and more reproducible quality compared to conventional spray arc modes."

#HRPZBS | 2019-07 | Conference paper on ResearchGate · H. Roelofs, P. Zok, B. Schmaling

Abstract: "Reducing the weight of car components has led to filigree parts and the use of stronger materials. Conventional quenched and tempered steels do not always fulfil the demands regarding reliability, economics and sustainability. Thermomechanically processed bainitic steels provide better combinations of these criteria. Applying the industrial XTP technology enabled fine-grained low carbon bainitic-martensitic bars with significantly lower Charpy transition temperatures compared to conventional hot-rolled bars. Tempering effects and resulting property profiles are discussed in detail."

Intro: "This DIN SPEC was created via the PAS procedure by a temporary consortium. It defines a test method to determine flow curves of metallic materials using low-destructive indentation, 3D measurement and FE material modelling. The flow curves provide comparable characteristics to tensile tests per DIN EN ISO 6892-1. The method applies to plastically deformable materials that form a rim pile-up, whose grain size is max. one third of the indentation diameter and that show no lamellar/graphite phases causing tension/compression asymmetry. Material-specific calibration can be added. The method delivers quantitative, direction-independent results and can also be used qualitatively for anisotropic flow curves at low penetration depths."
