Welcome to the wonderful, practical world of fluid analysis utilization. There are plenty of labs around the world processing millions of oil, coolant, and fuel samples every year. Most of them do very professional work, however, the data received from them usually fall into two main categories: 1). The information is incomplete for a true machine health assessment, or; 2). At the user's end, nobody is acting on the information at a level that would allow good, proactive maintenance activity. The sad truth is that very few companies make use of the valuable information contained in fluids. This work, Fluid Analysis for Mobile Equipment, supports all activity around fluid analysis so managers can lay a more solid foundation for maintenance. It serves as a major contribution to both the science and art of fluid analysis, and is destined to become the cornerstone of every successful condition-based maintenance program. The examples and recommendations will have direct application to implement a true predictive maintenance program. More than 100 examples come from real-life cases, and reflect what many fleet managers encounter in their daily challenges.

In diesem Buch wird das Laser-Pulver-Auftragschweißen betrachtet, ein variabel einsetzbares generatives Fertigungsverfahren, das spezifische Vorteile in den Industriezweigen Beschichten, Reparieren und mittlerweile auch in der additiven Fertigung (3D-Druck) aufweist. Um das vollständige Potenzial als ressourcenschonende Technologie nutzen zu können, sind jedoch noch unterschiedliche Aufgabenstellungen entlang der Prozesskette zu optimieren. In der Anwendung lassen sich starke Abhängigkeiten zwischen der Bauteilgeometrie und dem Prozess beobachten, sodass nach heutigem Stand keine einheitliche Aufbaustrategie für beliebige Bauteile angewendet werden kann. Durch signifikante Unterschiede der thermischen Randbedingungen im Prozess und zwischen den Bauteilgeometrien wird oftmals eine variierende Prozessstabilität und damit auch Bauteilqualität beobachtet. Es ist somit stets eine iterative, meist experimentelle Prozessoptimierung notwendig. Diese erfordert Expertenwissen und geht mit hohenRessourcenkosten sowie langen Entwicklungszeiten einher. Folglich ist eine breite Industrialisierung dieses Verfahrens speziell für die additive Fertigung nach wie vor eingeschränkt. Um diesem Defizit entgegenzuwirken, wird in dem vorliegenden Buch eine temperaturadaptive Prozessauslegung vorgestellt. Auf Grundlage von empirisch ermittelten Daten und einer thermischen Simulation wird eine automatisierte Generierung einer angepassten Prozessstrategie für beliebige Bauteile ermöglicht.
Um bei der Fertigung von Faserverbundkunststoffen Zeit, Energie und Kosten sparen zu können, werden möglichst viele Informationen über die Vorgänge während des Fertigungsprozesses benötigt. Die Integration von Foliensensoren in die hergestellten Bauteile ist eine von mehreren Möglichkeiten, diese Informationen zu erhalten. Foliensensoren bestehen aus einer thermoplastischen Folie, auf der metallische Elektroden strukturiert sind. Ihre Integration in das Bauteil bringt unterschiedliche Vor- und Nachteile mit sich. Einerseits sind bauteilintegrierte Sensoren flexibler einsetzbar als werkzeugintegrierte Sensoren und ermöglichen eine feinere räumliche Auflösung der Aushärtevorgänge. Andererseits werden sie bei der Fertigung zum Produktbestandteil. Sie sollten deswegen einfach und kostengünstig sein, sowie die Lasttragfähigkeit nicht beeinträchtigen. Aus mechanischer Sicht bringen Foliensensoren vor allem ein Delaminationsrisiko mit sich. Die Wahl des thermoplastischen Substratmaterials macht dabei den entscheidenden Einflussfaktor aus. Während Sensoren auf Basis des häufig verwendeten Materials Polyimid ein erhebliches Delaminationsrisiko mit sich bringen, ist der Einfluss von Polyetherimid weit weniger schädlich oder verbessert sogar einzelne Festigkeitskennwerte. Neben dem Substratmaterial wirken sich auch die metallischen Sensorstrukturen auf die Belastbarkeit aus. Zur Gestaltung minimalinvasiver Sensoren sollte ein möglichst geringer Metallisierungsgrad angestrebt werden. Das verbreitetste Design für Foliensensoren zur Aushärteüberwachung sind sogenannte Interdigitalelektroden, die eine elektrische Kapazität bilden, deren Impedanz von der direkten Umgebung beeinflusst wird. In variothermen Fertigungsprozessen besteht eine Herausforderung darin, den Einfluss der Temperatur von dem des Aushärtegrades zu trennen. Die an integrierten Sensoren gemessenen Impedanzinformationen müssen dazu eine Verarbeitung durchlaufen, in deren Verlauf die Frequenzabhängigkeit und die Einflüsse von Temperatur und Sensorgeometrie aus den Daten entfernt werden. Für eine variotherme Aushärteüberwachung ist daher die Verwendung eines zusätzlichen Temperatursensors unverzichtbar. Die Sensordaten bieten darüber hinaus Potential für die Ermittlung des Faservolumengehalts oder zur Detektion von Harzfehlanmischungen.
