For the first experiments in distilled water, a miniaturized electrochemical in-situ cell with a standard three-electrode system, which is also used in potentiodynamic polarization measurements, is being developed. The challenge here is that the cell must be sealed at the sample shafts so that cyclic loading of the specimen can occur in the cell
For this purpose, measurements on fatigue specimens are carried out on the steel 20MnMoNi5-5 in a service relevant heat treatment condition, in which the residual stresses are determined conventionally using an X-ray diffractometer and then the results are used in order to calibrate the µmagnetic measuring system.The surface roughness is measured
"MibaLeb II“ microstructure-based fatigue life calculation
The overall objective of the joint project is the development of a procedure for the remaining fatigue life assessment of metallic nuclear power plant components that have aged during operation. It is taken into account that the local material properties of components can change due to mec
MibaLeb is expected to make a decisive contribution to this. The overall goal of the second project phase is to transfer the results, findings and methods to real and actually loaded materials and components in order to provide reliable information on the integrity and remaining service life of nuclear power plants.The aim of the WWHK subproject
