Laser assisted powder bed fusion using a binary Al[sbnd]Li alloy with high Li content (Al–14 at.%Li) has been performed for the first time. The aim was to generate microstructures with extended concentration range of Al[sbnd]Li alloys in which the formation of the brittle δ–AlLi phase is avoided. From conventional casting processes it is known that...
This paper examines to what extent automated guided vehicles’ (AGV) batteries can be used as a mobile electrical energy storage to increase energy flexibility and reduce peak loads in manufacturing plants. First, it is indicated, what demand response and peak shaving in manufacturing mean. Then, existing battery applications for peak shaving are pr...
A µm thin dosimeter based on a single layer of inorganic phosphor particles has been developed and its properties were qualified for its use for 3D dose mapping. Dosimeter response of these particles is the luminescence decay time after excitation with near-infrared light. As this dosimeter can be directly sprayed onto the surface of three-dimensio...
Ice-building up on the leading edge of wings and other surfaces exposed to icing atmospheric conditions can negatively influence the aerodynamic performances of aircrafts. In the past, research activities focused on understanding icing phenomena and finding effective countermeasures. Efforts have been dedicated to creating coatings capable of reduc...
Semi-continuous centrifugation is suggested as promising method to separate battery active materials from aqueous multi-component agglomerate dispersions. This is of special interest for direct recycling of active materials from decommissioned lithium-ion batteries. The separation of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) from carbon black C65 could be achie...
Der Begriff Architectured Materials wird für Werkstoffe genutzt, bei denen architektonische Merkmale in die Werkstoffentwicklung einbezogen werden. So soll die Anordnung von Baueinheiten im dreidimensionalen Raum zu einer eigenständigen Stellschraube bei der Entwicklung neuer Werkstoffe werden. Ziel ist es, die Grenzen der derzeit verfügbaren Kombi...
The worldwide market of terminal operating systems is very heterogeneous. It is characterised by many providers offering more than one product each. The range of functions of each product is diverse depending on its scope and purpose. This market survey is supposed to enable the public to gain more insight into the market. Therefore, public informa...
Warm forged components have better surface properties and higher dimensional accuracy than hot forged components. Diamond-like-carbon (DLC) coatings can be used as wear protection coatings, which are anti-adhesive and extremely hard (up to 3500 HV), to increase tool service life. In the first funding period of the research project at the IPH – Inst...
Barbed bone points originally deposited in Doggerland are regularly collected from the shores of the Netherlands. Their typology and direct 14C dating suggest they are of Mesolithic age. However, the species of which the barbed points were made cannot be identified based on morphological criteria. The bones used to produce the barbed points have be...
Although metal to Carbon-fiber-reinforced-polymer (CFRP) hybrid-joints possess a high lightweight construction potential, their extensive application has to deal with interfacial stress concentrations promoting fatigue damage. Furthermore, the underlying damage processes and their influencing factors are still not completely understood. Besides int...
