A dedicated compression device was designed that allows for synchrotron-tomographic investigation of circular samples under well-defined compression conditions. The tomographic data provide the experimental basis for stochastic modeling of nonwoven GDL materials. A plain compression tool is used to study the fiber courses in the material at different compression stages. Transport relevant geometrical parameters, such as porosity, pore size, and tortuosity distributions, are exemplarily evaluated for a GDL sample in the uncompressed state and for a compression of 30 vol.\%. To mimic the geometry of the flow-field, we employed a compression punch with an integrated channel-rib-profile. It turned out that the GDL material is homogeneously compressed under the ribs, however, much less compressed underneath the channel. GDL fibers extend far into the channel volume where they might interfere with the convective gas transport and the removal of liquid water from the cell.

Therefore, experiments with monochromatic synchrotron radiation and corresponding simulations are carried out. The visibility of a phase grating is optimized by different photon energies, varying detector to grating distances and continuous rotation of the phase grating about the grid lines. Such kind of rotation changes the projected grating shapes, and thereby the distribution profiles of phase shifts. This yields higher visibilities than derived from ideal rectangular shapes. By continuous grating rotation and variation of the propagation distance, we achieve 2D visibility maps. Such maps provide the visibility for a certain combination of grating orientation and detector position. Optimum visibilities occur at considerably smaller distances than in the standard setup.}, language = {en} } @article{ChenMuellerPrinzetal.2020, author = {Chen, Cong and M{\"u}ller, Bernd R. and Prinz, Carsten and Stroh, Julia and Feldmann, Ines and Bruno, Giovanni}, title = {The correlation between porosity characteristics and the crystallographic texture in extruded stabilized aluminium titanate for diesel particulate filter applications}, series = {Journal of the European Ceramic Society}, volume = {40}, journal = {Journal of the European Ceramic Society}, number = {4}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0955-2219}, doi = {10.1016/j.jeurceramsoc.2019.11.076}, pages = {1592 -- 1601}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Porous ceramic diesel particulate filters (DPFs) are extruded products that possess macroscopic anisotropic mechanical and thermal properties.

The sorbed diesel softens the material and significantly alters the yielding characteristics. Although the crystallinity among stretched regions is similar, a virgin reference sample exhibits strain whitening during stretching, while the diesel-saturated sample becomes transparent. The WAXS results reveal a pronounced fiber texture in the tensile direction in the stretched region and an isotropic orientation in the unstretched region. This texture implies the formation of fibrils in the stretched region, while spherulites remain intact in the unstretched parts of the specimens. X-ray refraction reveals a preferred orientation of internal surfaces along the tensile direction in the stretched region of virgin samples, while the sample stretched in the diesel-saturated state shows no internal surfaces at all.

Discontinuities in AM are challenging to detect, due to their submicron size and orientation dependency. Toward the goal of improving structural integrity, minimizing discontinuities in an AM build requires an understanding of the mechanisms of formation to mitigate their occurrence. This study utilizes various techniques to evaluate the shape, size, nature and distribution of discontinuities in AM Inconel 718, in a non-hot isostatic pressed (HIPed) as-built, non-HIPed and direct age, and HIPed with two step age samples. Non-destructive synchrotron radiation refraction and transmission radiography (SXRR) provides additional information beyond that obtained with destructive optical microscopy.

Since they have to withstand harsh chemical as well as thermo-mechanical environments, internal stresses and microcracking are often present in such materials under operating conditions (sometimes in excess of 1700 °C). We studied the evolution of thermal (CTE) and mechanical (Young's modulus) properties as a function of temperature in a fused-cast refractory containing 94 wt.\% of monoclinic ZrO2 and 6 wt.\% of a silicate glassy phase. With the aid of X-ray refraction techniques (yielding the internal specific surface in materials), we also monitored the evolution of microcracking as a function of thermal cycles (crossing the martensitic phase transformation around 1000 °C) under externally applied stress. We found that external compressive stress leads to a strong decrease of the internal surface per unit volume, but a tensile load has a similar (though not so strong) effect. In agreement with existing literature on β-eucryptite microcracked ceramics, we could explain these phenomena by microcrack closure in the load direction in the compression case, and by microcrack propagation (rather than microcrack nucleation) under tensile conditions.}, language = {en} } @article{ChenMuellerLebedevetal.2019, author = {Chen, Cong and M{\"u}ller, Bernd Randolf and Lebedev, Oleg I. and Giovannelli, Fabien and Bruno, Giovanni and Delorme, Fabian}, title = {Effects of impurities on the stability of the low thermal conductivity in Fe2TiO5 ceramics}, series = {Materials characterization}, volume = {149}, journal = {Materials characterization}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {New York}, issn = {1044-5803}, doi = {10.1016/j.matchar.2019.01.021}, pages = {111 -- 117}, year = {2019}, abstract = {The stability of the low thermal conductivity in Fe2TiO5 pseudobrookite ceramics has been studied.

By using scanning electron microscopy and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive Xray spectroscopy, we observe a segregation of Ca- and F-rich nanocrystals at grain boundaries after three cycles of thermal diffusivity measurement. Therefore, impurities seem to be more efficient to scatter phonons as point defects in the pseudobrookite lattice rather than as nanocrystals at pseudobrookite grain boundaries.

Synchrotron X-ray refraction techniques do possess both features. Herein, it is shown how synchrotron X-ray refraction computed tomography (SXRCT) can quantify damage induced by hydrogen embrittlement in a lean duplex steel, yielding results that overperform even those achievable by synchrotron X-ray absorption computed tomography. As already reported in the literature, but this time using a nondestructive technique, it is shown that the hydrogen charge does not penetrate to the center of tensile specimens. By the comparison between virgin and hydrogen-charged specimens, it is deduced that cracks in the specimen bulk are due to the rolling process rather than hydrogen-assisted. It is shown that (micro)cracks propagate from the surface of tensile specimens to the interior with increasing applied strain, and it is deduced that a significant crack propagation can only be observed short before rupture.}, language = {en} } @article{ManiKupschMuelleretal.2022, author = {Mani, Deepak and Kupsch, Andreas and M{\"u}ller, Bernd R. and Bruno, Giovanni}, title = {Diffraction Enhanced Imaging Analysis with Pseudo-Voigt Fit Function}, series = {Journal of imaging : open access journal}, volume = {8}, journal = {Journal of imaging : open access journal}, number = {8}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2313-433X}, doi = {10.3390/jimaging8080206}, pages = {13}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Diffraction enhanced imaging (DEI) is an advanced digital radiographic imaging technique employing the refraction of X-rays to contrast internal interfaces.
