Simulation of case hardening and fatigue limit estimation of case hardened components

Die vorliegende Arbeit besitzt zwei Schwerpunkte. Zum einen wird das Einsatzhärten von Bauteilen basierend auf vorhandenen Materialmodellen simuliert. Zum anderen wird ein Konzept zur Abschätzung der Dauerfestigkeit einsatzgehärteter Bauteile vorgestellt, in dem wesentliche Ergebnisse der Wärmebehandlungssimulation als neue Ausgangsgrößen verwendet werden. Damit konnte erstmals ein geschlossenes werkstoffmechanisches Dauerfestigkeitskonzept für einsatzgehärtete Bauteile erarbeitet werden. Für die Analyse beliebiger Bauteilgeometrien ist eine Implementation der Materialmodelle in die FEM notwendig. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde das FE-Programm ABAQUS verwendet. Speziell für dieses FE-Programm wurde innerhalb dieser Arbeit das Subroutine-System ANTRI zur Simulation des Einsatzhärtens und Abschätzung der Dauerfestigkeit für einsatzgehärtete Bauteile entwickelt. Zur Verifikation des Subroutine-Systems ANTRI wurden experimenteller Ergebnisse aus der Literatur herangezogen. Für alle untersuchten Beispiele wurde eine sehr gute Übereinstimmung zwischen experimentell ermittelten Daten und simulierten Daten festgestellt.This thesis has two focuses. On the one hand, case hardening of components is simulated on the basis of existing material models. On the other hand, a concept is presented to evaluate the fatigue limit of case hardened components. In this concept the results of heat treatment simulation are used as new initial parameters. For the first time a complete (material-mechanical) concept for the fatigue limit of case hardened components is presented. For the analysis of any component geometry, an implementation of material models in FEM is necessary. The FE-program ABAQUS has been used in the frame of this thesis. The ANTRI subroutine system has been developed especially for this program to simulate case hardening and the evaluation of the fatigue limit for case hardened components. Experimental results found in publications have been used to verify the ANTRI subroutine system. A very good match has been observed between the data obtained through experiments and the simulated ones

Dispersion of antimony from oxidizing ore deposits

The solubilities of brandholzite, [Mg(H2O)6][Sb(OH)6]2, and bottinoite, [Ni(H2O)6][Sb(OH)6]2, at 25 °C in water have been measured. Solubilities are 1.95(4) × 10-3 and 3.42(11) × 10-4 mol dm-3, respectively. The incongruent dissolution of romeite, Ca2Sb2O7, and bindheimite, Pb2Sb2O7, at 25 °C in 0.100 mol dm-3 aqueous HNO3 was also investigated. Equilibrium dissolved Sb concentrations were 3.3 ± 1.0 × 10-7 and 7.7 ± 2.1 × 10-8 mol dm-3, respectively. These values have been used to re-evaluate the geochemical mobility of Sb in the supergene environment. It is concluded that the element is geochemically immobile in solution and in soils. This was in part validated by an orientation soil geochemical survey over the Bayley Park prospect near Armidale, New South Wales, Australia. Anomalous soil Sb levels are confined to within 100 m of known stibnite mineralizatio

Serum and Urinary Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Concentrations in Dehydrated Horses

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 is increased in renal tissue in human kidney disease, but its role as a biomarker for kidney disease has not been fully evaluated yet. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum MMP-9 (sMMP-9) and urinary MMP-9 (uMMP-9) concentrations in dehydrated horses. Dehydrated horses were prospectively included. Blood and urinary samples were taken at admission, and after 12, 24, and 48 h (t0, t12, t24, t48), an anti-equine MMP-9 sandwich ELISA was used. Four healthy horses served as the controls. Serum creatinine, urea, symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), urine-specific gravity, urinary protein concentration, fractional sodium excretion, and urinary gamma–glutamyl transferase/creatinine ratio (uGGT/Cr) were measured. Statistical analysis included a repeated measures ANOVA and mixed linear regression model. Overall, 40 dehydrated horses were included (mild dehydration 13/40, moderate 16/40, severe 11/40). Acute kidney injury was found in 1/40 horses; 7/40 horses showed elevated serum creatinine, 11/40 horses elevated serum SDMA, and 5/28 elevated uGGT/Cr at presentation. In dehydrated horses, sMMP-9 concentrations were significantly higher on t0 (median: 589 ng/mL, range: 172–3597 ng/mL) compared to t12 (340 ng/mL, 132–1213 ng/mL), t24 (308 ng/mL, 162–1048 ng/mL), and t48 (258 ng/mL, 130–744 ng/mL). In healthy horses, sMMP-9 (239 ng/mL, 142–508 ng/mL) showed no differences over time or compared to patients. uMMP-9 and uMMP-9/creatinine did not differ over time or to the controls. No differences were found between dehydration groups. Urinary casts (p = 0.001; estimate = 135) and uGGT/Cr (p = 0.03; estimate = 6.5) correlated with sMMP-9. Serum urea was associated with uMMP-9/Cr (p = 0.01, estimate 0.9). In conclusion, sMMP-9 was elevated at arrival in dehydrated patients compared to later measurements. Correlations to uGGT/Cr and urinary casts need further evaluation
