Abstract

Metallic multilayer materials consisting of hundreds or thousands of layers offer a high potential for broad applications in modern technology. A uniform and gradual thinning of layers can be realized by using alloys with different crystal structures in combination with the efficient and high-performance technology of hot pack rolling. However, investigations on fatigue properties, especially to evaluate the influence of the number of layers, are still missing. In the present study, the fatigue behavior of metallic multilayer materials consisting of austenitic and ferritic stainless steels AISI 304 and AISI 430 with 100 and 1400 layers are characterized by applying a time-efficient load increase procedure. Therefore, instrumented stepwise load increase tests were performed to define suitable loading parameters for a convenient comparison of fatigue properties in constant amplitude tests. A benefit of the complex production process leading to 1400 layers was verified concerning the investigated load level in the range of low cycle fatigue with a significant improvement by the factor of 3.5. The alternating current potential drop method for measurements of change in voltage was determined to be most suitable to detect microstructural changes at an early state of fatigue damage for multilayer materials. Microstructures as well as fractured surfaces were investigated using light and scanning electron microscopy to evaluate the results of the two technological manufacturing routes as well as the crack and failure behavior.

Kurzfassung

Metallische Mehrschichtwerkstoffe bestehen aus hunderten oder tausenden Schichten und bieten daher ein hohes Potential für den Einsatz in industriellen Anwendungen. Eine sukzessive und gleichmäßige Reduzierung der Schichtdicken wird über die Verwendung von Legierungen mit unterschiedlichen Kristallstrukturen in Kombination mit dem effizienten und leistungsstarken Paket-Warmwalzverfahren sichergestellt. Untersuchungen zu den Ermüdungseigenschaften, insbesondere im Hinblick auf den Einfluss der Schichtanzahl, existieren bisher nicht. Im Rahmen dieser Studie wurde das Ermüdungsverhalten von metallischen Mehrschichtwerkstoffen, die aus 100 und 1400 Schichten der austenitischen und ferritischen Edelstähle 1.4301 und 1.4016 bestehen, auf Basis eines effizienten stufenförmigen Laststeigerungsverfahrens charakterisiert. Die instrumentierten Laststeigerungsversuche wurden dazu verwendet, um geeignete Beanspruchungen für den Vergleich der beiden Mehrschichtwerkstoffe in Einstufenversuchen zu definieren. Für das untersuchte Lastniveau im LCF-Bereich konnte ein Vorteil des aufwendigeren Verfahrens zur Herstellung von 1400 Schichten mit einer signifikanten Erhöhung der Bruchlastspielzahlen um den Faktor 3,5 nachgewiesen werden. Es wurde belegt, dass die Wechselstrompotentialsonde zur Messung der elektrischen Wechselspannung exzellent geeignet ist, um verformungs- und mikrostrukturbedingte Schädigungen der Mehrschichtwerkstoffe durch zyklische Beanspruchung frühzeitig zu detektieren. Die Untersuchungen wurden durch licht- und rasterelektronenmikroskopische Analysen der Gefüge und Bruchflächen ergänzt, um eine Bewertung der mechanischen Eigenschaften sowie des Schädigungs- und Rissverhaltens hinsichtlich der zwei Prozessrouten des Paket-Warmwalzverfahrens vorzunehmen.
