The formation of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is described as a longlasting process which made the partners in the merger of 2009 come closer since the beginning of the Nuclear Research Center at Karlsruhe in 1956. By the means of common chairs and institutes the Nuclear Research Center and the University of Karlsruhe made experiences seminal for the idea of KIT born and put into effect wihin the competition of excellency initated by the federal government and the federal states.
This study deals with the fatigue behaviour of metal-matrix-composites (MMCs) having ceramic contents of 30 to 39 Vol-%. The MMCs where produced by way of infiltrating a ceramic preform by an aluminium alloy. The characterisation of the MMC's cyclic and fatigue behaviour was researched on the basis of isothermal and thermal-mechanical fatigue tests.
This volume provides a one-stop resource, compiling current research on the behavior and reliability of ceramic macro and micro scale systems. It is a collection of papers from The American Ceramic Society s 32nd International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites, January 27-February 1, 2008. Topics include Design and Testing Challenges for Ceramic Joints; Structural Design, Testing and Life Prediction of Monolithic and Composite Components; Mechanical Behavior, Design, and Reliability of Small Scale Systems; Environmental Effects on Mechanical Properties; and more. This is a valuable reference for researchers in ceramics engineering.
Integrated manufacturing of lightweight components is of increasing importance for production engineering in today’s industrial climate. Due to the market’s need for high geometrical flexibility, combined with small batch sizes and short production cycles, the requirements of customers are becoming increasingly stringent.
The present book offers specific knowledge on high intensity combustors and provides those who are interested in the area of fuel preparation and combustion, flow and heat transfer, and particularly in high temperature materials with a deep understanding of the fundamental physics. The topics covered by this report are characterized by the following major areas: fuel preparation, flow and combustion, pollutant formation, heat transfer and radiation, high temperature materials, thermal barrier coating systems. The book is written for scientists, engineers as well as technicians working on modern combustion systems.
Modern understanding of materials include the approach at the microscopic or nanometric level. In the best case, imaging at the atomic level is possible. These approaches are essential for instance in the exploration of interfaces, surfaces and defects in crystals. Several aspects can be explored, the microstructure, local element composition, and chemical bonds. This book presents the state-of-the-art of modern investigation methods of materials.
This book presents the results of the Priority Programme "Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Metallic High-Temperature Materials". The programme has been supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) over a period of 6 years from 1991 till 1997. During this time, 45 projects in laboratories in universities and other research institutions were sponsored. The investigations were focused on a limited number of specific groups of materials in order to ensure sufficient overlap between research projects of different researchers on one and the same material. The materials selected were: - light metal PM-aluminium and titanium alloys - ferritic chromium and austenitic alloy 800 steels - nickel-base superalloys with emphasis on monocrystalline materials - nickel- and iron-base oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS)superalloys.
