Project B1 focuses on the investigation of the newly developed FCBC (Fluidized Carbon Bed Cooling) process for the single crystalline solidification of superalloys. In comparison with commercially available investment casting processes it could be shown that FCBC benefits from a higher cooling potential. In combination with a dynamic baffle a higher axial temperature gradient will evolve. Objective of the upcoming project period is the improvement of the process understanding as well as the proc…

Der Aluminiumdruckguss ist ein effizientes und sehr weitverbreitetes Verarbeitungsverfahren. Allerdings tritt bei der Herstellung undBearbeitung von Aluminiumbauteilen ein großes Problem auf. Aluminium verbindetbzw. legiert sich bei erhöhten Temperaturen bzw. in der Schmelze mit nahezuallen Metallen. So kommt es beim Gießen von Aluminiumbauteilen häufig zuWerkzeugversagen (Ausspülungen, Risse), da die Aluminiumschmelze mit dem Eisender Stahlform bzw. mit darauf aufgebrachten Schutzschichten reag…

The development of Aluminum alloys mainly tends to increase the strength without worsening the ductility. Beside strength an increase in stiffness is also sought. In contrast to strength with Aluminium casting alloys the stiffness can be influenced by alloying to a very small extent only. A substantial increase in stiffness is possible by metal matrix composits. But poor wettability between the metal matrix and the ceramic particels and big differences in the thermal expansion lead to poor mecha…

The aim involved in designing metal matrix composite materials is to combine the desirable properties of metals and ceramics. The addition of high strength, high modulus refractory particles to a ductile metal matrix produces MMCs whose mechanical properties are excellent, such as high strength to weight ratio, high stiffness and good wear resistance. Due to these excellent attributes, MMCs are widely used in aerospace, automobiles, etc. Among the variety of manufacturing processes available for…
