FROM THE EDITORS 3

The annual report from the Department ofMaterials Science and Engineering (DMSE) con-sists of two parts. The first part comprisesScience Stories, Publication List and List ofEquipment and is primarily intended for externalreaders. The second part is intended for thearchives.

DMSE is an average sized department at NTNUwith respect to the number of academic andtechnical staff. However, taking into consider-ation PhD students and post docs engaged in theresearch project portfolio, DMSE is a rather largedepartment. DMSE has 19 professors, 4 associateprofessors, 12 adjunct professors, 14 professoremeritus, a technical and administrative staff of21, and finally 76 PhD students, post doctoralfellows and researchers.

The management of the Department changed inAugust when professor Lars Arnberg and profes-sor Tor Grande resigned as Department Head andDeputy Department Head respectively. TorGrande was elected the new Department Headand professor Knut Marthinsen the new DeputyHead.

One of the laboratories of the Department,Chemistry Building II was completely renovatedduring the year and the whole group ofInorganic Chemistry was temporarily relocated inChemistry Building I. The renovation was com-pleted in December and the group could moveback into very modern, well equipped laboratori-es. Also the group of Electrochemistry movedinto the new laboratory and the department isnow basically located in just two buildings.

The Department receives students from twosources: The Materials Technology students areenrolled from their first year. Students from theprogram of Chemistry and Biotechnology whichspecialise in Materials chemistry and energytechnology are enrolled from their third year. Inaddition the department recruits students fromthe Norwegian Colleges and the internationalmaster program in Light metal production. Thetrend of increasingly better enrolment toMaterials Technology continued also in 2005.

60 students applied with Materials Technology astheir first choice and 30 were admitted to theprogram. The department is also responsible forall teaching in general chemistry for engineeringstudents, about 800 in total.

The number of candidates graduating from theDepartment has increased in recent years. ThePhD degree has been granted to 14 candidatesthis year compared to 11 in 2004. 33 studentshave completed their Master of Science degreecompared to 19 in 2004. 53 PhD students and 29Master students are in progress.

The 24th International Course on ProcessMetallurgy of Aluminium, arranged from May 18 to 27, had an attendance of 73 participantsfrom 27 countries. The course of Fundamentalsand their application in aluminium productionhad an attendance of 36 participants from 12countries. A one week course, Solar Cells – Powerof the Future was arranged by the Department incooperation with the Board of EuropeanStudents of Technology. The course attracted 26students from 15 European countries.

A number of senior professors at the departmenthave retired over the last few years, the last inthe row was professor Harald Øye in 2005. A new generation of faculty members is beingrecruited. In 2005, Svein Sunde was hired as aProfessor of Electrochemistry, Kjell OveKongshaug was hired as an Associate Professorof Nanotechnology, Jarle Hjelen as a Professor ofPhysical metallurgy and Lifeng Zhang as aProfessor in Process metallurgy.

Professor emeritus Nils Ryum was awarded “SamEyde-Fondet/ Polyteknisk Forening's Jubileums-pris 2005” and Professor emeritus Harald A. Øyereceived the “Polyteknisk Forenings Hederspris”.

The number of publications in peer reviewedjournals in 2005 is 70. The annual budget of theDepartment is now actually dependent on thenumber of publications in addition to thenumber of PhD and Master Candidates, and DMSEare one of the Departments at NTNU with the hig-hest average number of publication per facultyannually.

The Department has a close cooperation withSINTEF, resulting in a new Gemini Center, Solar cell Materials, in 2005. The Departmentalso has a close contact with Norwegian andinternational Industry.

SCIENCE STORIES6

Ongoing metallurgical research at the department is directed towardsdevelopment of new and better materials, the economic use of energy, reclaiming of waste material etc. However, as long as a uni-versity also covers subjects such as history, archaeology, geologyand ethnology the department has a role to play.

The early process for ironmaking, based upon a shaft furnacewith slag pit has been documented at some 300 sites in the province of Trøndelag. 50 - 100 tons of slag have been found at eachsite, representing about the same amount of metal. The production

reached a peak around year 200. For some reason this technologywas abandoned around year 600 AD while a new process with smaller, side-tapped furnaces was introduced around 800 AD.However, this type, so common in the Østland area north and westof Oslo, has hardly been registered north of Gauldalen. Nobody hasbeen able to reproduce these two early processes. As a paradox theywere in full use in “primitive” societies of the past.

These problems have been the subject of a project between thedepartment and Gauldal Secondary School where the students havemade charcoal in a large kiln and fetched bog iron ore as well as characteristic clay at selected places.

The raw materials have been studied by chemical analysis, XRDand other methods in the university. The clay has been tested as araw material for pottery, as an introduction to the manufacturing ofa ceramic shaft. Ironmaking will follow.

SCIENCE STORIES 7

In-situ deformation of aluminium in the SEM

Modern production of cars demands a high degree of automationinvolving tight tolerances of the various components. This is chal-lenging the extrusion industry, since extruded profiles often havestrong microstructure- and texture gradients through the thickness,and these gradients affect the mechanical anisotropy.

In order to understand how gradients affect the mechanical anisotropy, one can investigate how the microstructure and texturein the different sections through the thickness evolve during defor-mation. Such studies can now be performed by applying a speciallydeveloped in-situ deformation technique. Here the microstructure of the specimens, deformed by simple tension inside the chamber of a SEM, is mapped by an Electron Back-Scatter Diffraction (EBSD)-technique. The electron beam scans an area of interest and the crystal orientations are automatically calculated on the basis of anelectron diffraction pattern from each pixel. This technique providesinformation about basic deformation mechanisms including defor-mation gradients, identification of active slip systems and lattice

rotations on the grain and sub-grain level. The knowledge from suchinvestigations helps understanding anisotropic plastic flow which inturn premises the formed shape (and tolerances) of extruded pro-files. Some examples from the work of PhD student Hans Bjerkaas asshown in the figures. The material studied is an extruded AA6063profile. The left EBSD-map shows the microstructure before defor-mation: - Most of the grains have a red colour indicating a <100>direction parallel to the extrusion direction (the crystallographicdirection parallel to extrusion direction is given by the colour codingin the triangle). The pole figure underneath the left micrographshows presence of a strong cube texture, i.e. the three <100> direc-tions are parallel to the extrusion-, transversal- and normal directionrespectively. The micrograph shows an EBSD map of the same areaafter 17% deformation. The grain shapes and the colours within thegrains have changed, indicating lattice rotations during plasticdeformation. The pole figure underneath the micrograph shows thecorresponding development of the crystallographic and the new tex-ture components. The studies have shown that in-situ deformationcan be a powerful tool when characterizing local texture develop-ment upon plastic deformation behaviour of industrial alloys.

SCIENCE STORIES8

Nanostructured silica materials

2005 marked the end of the EU-project HILIT+. The main goal of thisproject has been to demonstrate an efficient environmental-friendlyprocess for the preparation of 60x60 cm aerogel insulated windows.The project consortium consisted of 9 partners from France, Germany,Denmark and Sweden in addition to NTNU and was a follow-up fromprevious EU-projects.

Silica aerogel which is among the worlds lightest material, isconsisting of a network of nanosized silica particles as shown in Fig. 1. The porosity can be up to 98 %. The pore size is in the meso-range giving a material which is transparent and with a very lowthermal conductivity. Surface area can be as high as 1000 m2/g. Theaerogels were fabricated by a sol-gel route using polyethoxydisilo-

xane precursors followed by supercritical drying from CO2 to avoidfracture and shrinkage during drying.

Due to the high porosity, both the wet gels and hence aerogelshave a low mechanical strength and our main contribution to theproject has been to increase the strength of the wet gels. The strategy to increase the strength has been to age the wet gels in different liquids where partial solubility of silica is promoted. Duringthe aging, dissolved silica is transported to the necks in between the particles.

Mechanical characterization of wet gels has been performed by3-point beam bending shown in Figure 2 where modulus of rupture,sheer modulus and permeability of the wet gels have been measured.Through the HILIT+ project several 60x60 cm2 demonstration win-dows have been made. Figure 3 shows a smaller demonstration window.

The development of porosity in green composite carbon materials isimportant for their chemical and physical properties in the bakedstate. In the Hall-Héroult process an unfavourable pore size distri-bution and structure is detrimental to the anode consumption. Poredevelopment depends on the raw materials and on the paste produc-tion process. Pitch and coke particles must be distributed evenly andsmaller particles fitted into the voids between larger particles inorder to obtain a homogeneous paste. If not, intraparticle porositywill increase, and the paste will contain a higher amount of trappedair and volatiles at the forming stage thus leading to excessive poro-sity development during baking. Anode consumption has mainlybeen addressed by studies of catalytic activity and little or no atten-tion has been paid to structure and porosity, due to the complexityof the green state and a lack of good analytical methods.

Our image analysis technique is a valuable tool for studies ofboth the green and the baked state of carbon materials and is in thiswork used for porosity determination. A continuous pore size distri-bution from 1 µm to 10 mm is registered and the method thus coversa larger range than mercury porosimetry. Pilot-scale anode sampleswere produced from a single source petrol coke in a five-factorialexperimental design with the variable factors pitch content, aggre-

gate size distribution, mixing time, mixing techniques (sigma bladeand intensive mixers), and heating rate during baking. The mixingtechnique and the pitch content have the strongest impact on boththe porosity and the specific electrical resistivity of the anodes.Intensive mixing results in higher apparent density as can be seenin Fig. 1.

Fig. 2 shows averaged pore size distribution curves. Conventionalmixing of 14 % pitch anodes shows large pores due to aggregatecrushing and void formation during the mixing and the formingstage. In the case of intensive mixing, less of the small pores (8-40 µm) are present. This is due to better filling and impregnation ofcoke particle pores and interparticle voids with pitch. With increa-sing pitch content more pitch is available in the intergranular spaceto penetrate the coke pores and to form thicker binder coke filmsaround the coke particles. In this case the pore size distribution curves tend to peak around 100 µm which is typical for pitch cokewhere pores form by escaping volatiles.

Conventional mixing results in less homogeneous and moreporous anodes compared to intensive mixing (Fig. 3). The intensivemixer provides higher dynamic pressure gradients that result inimproved filling and impregnation of pores and voids. In the con-ventional mixer the coke particles are crushed during mixing. Thiscauses binder deficiency and thus higher porosity.

The department is a partner of ULCOS, one of the largest projectssupported by the EU. The primary goal of the project is to develop anew process to produce iron and steel with strong reduction of theemissions of CO2.

The iron and steel industries are major contributors to the emis-sions of CO2, which is regarded as the most important greenhousegas. About 1000 million tonnes of iron is produced annually in blastfurnaces and electric arc furnaces. The emissions from a blast furna-ce amount to about 2 kg CO2/kg Fe.

Several routes to reduce or eliminate CO2 emissions are beingstudied in the ULCOS project. The Department of Materials Scienceand Engineering participate in two different subprojects of ULCOS.One group is involved with studies of iron production by using natu-ral gas. The other is investigating electrolysis, which is one of themore dramatic alternatives to produce iron. Electrolysis using an

inert oxygen evolving anode will completely eliminate CO2 emissionsfor the production process if the electric energy can be producedfrom renewable sources of energy. Electrolysis can be carried out inaqueous electrolytes, molten salts or molten oxides. The work inTrondheim has been focused on the use of molten salt electrolytes.

The major challenges have been to find an electrolyte which dissolves enough hematite to allow for a high current density forelectrodeposition of iron and to obtain smooth electrodeposits ofiron. Several electrolytes were tested, including molten chloride mixtures based on CaCl2, pure fluoride and mixed chloride/fluorideelectrolytes. The performance of candidate inert anode materials toevolve oxygen was tested during electrolysis. Electrodeposits of pureiron were obtained in many electrolytes. The most promising resultswere obtained in the molten system KF-NaF-CaCl2. The solubility ofFe2O3 was determined to be of the order of 0.5 - 1 mol% in meltscontaining ~10 mol% CaCl2. In these electrolytes pure iron wasdeposited at current densities exceeding 0.5 A/cm2 using a rotatingFe cathode to increase the rate of mass transfer of Fe(III) species.The current efficiency with respect to iron was consistently found tobe above 95%.

SCIENCE STORIES 11

Foundry and automotive industries are concerned with the fluidity oftheir alloys because this affects the soundness and quality of theircast products. Poor or insufficient fluidity results in an increasedrejection rate of cast products and limits their cross section. The higher the fluidity of an alloy, the thinner is the mould-wall that can be achieved.

The term “fluidity” in the foundry is used to indicate the distancea molten metal can flow in a mould of a constant cross-sectionalarea before it solidifies. Fluidity in foundry is a complex techno-logical property and it depends upon many factors, e.g., chemicalcomposition, solidification range, heat of fusion, casting tempera-ture (superheat), mould coating, oxide/particle content.

The first fluidity test appeared in 1902 and, since then, severalequipments for fluidity testing have been developed and modified.

However, there is still a need for a reliable fluidity test.An improved fluidity test method has been developed and tested

in cooperation with SINTEF Materials and Chemistry. The geometry ofthe fluidity spiral method is shown in Fig.1. Due to an automaticcontrol of the casting temperature and pouring height, the systemprovides constant superheat and pressure head which allow for high-ly reproducible fluidity measurements. This fluidity method has beenused to study many factors affecting fluidity such as casting tempe-rature, oxide content, mould coating, grain refinement etc.

Fig. 2 shows the team from the department and SINTEF that hascarried out the work and is a part of the program NorLight, whichinvolves many Norwegian industries and international cooperation.Fig.s 3 and 4 show some of the most important results of this work.The increase of the casting temperature (hence melt superheat)increases the fluidity of an Al-7wt%Si alloy (Fig. 3). The addition of20% turning chips (recycled material from FUNDO WHEELS AS) to astandard A356 alloy increases both inclusions and oxides content,and decreases fluidity.

Components for the transport industry

High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) is a well established casting met-hod, particularly suited for fully automatic, high productivity, highvolume production of complex near net shaped parts with weightsranging from a few grams to more than 15 kilograms. The transportindustry shows a great interest in this technology because the tech-nique offers light metals solutions with the integration of manyfunctions into one part. The new trend is to use modern modelingtechnology to develop the process further to obtain better proper-ties of the products and with less variation in properties than before. The market grows annually at about 10 %.

Norsk Hydro has installed a modern, well equipped 420-ton coldchamber HPDC machine at the plant in Porsgrunn. Melting and melttreatment facilities are set up nearby to make pilot scale castingeasy and performed at an optimum way. The institute has the opti-on to use these facilities for practical education of students in casting and for research. This enables the institute to do pilot scalecasting experiments of a high numbers of castings effectively, withgood documentation of process parameters and with melts pretrea-ted at specifications. Joint use of this equipment and collaborationon projects is to mutual benefit for the quality of work and research.

Projects on high pressure die casting at the department includeinvestigations on how process parameters influence structure andproperties of cast components, and investigations of heat transferbetween the die and the cast metal.

SCIENCE STORIES 13

Development of the first generation of grain refiners for steels isbased on the experience that oxides and sulphides of rare earthmetals can effectively be transferred to liquid steel via ferroalloyscontaining small inclusions – dispersoids and these dispersoids willthen provide a finer grain size in the cast steel. These particles areoften remarkably persistent and can survive in the steel melt for anappreciable period of time without loss of identity.

A master alloy containing a high number density of dispersoidsin the 1μm size range, is added to a clean steel melt being low inoxygen and sulphur. The master alloys can be produced in two diffe-rent ways:

1) The melting & quenching route means that the alloy compo-nents first are mixed and melted in an induction furnace and then

rapidly quenched to achieve the desired distribution of the disper-soids in the grain refiner

2) The value-added DRI (Direct Reduced Iron) method involvesmixing of iron oxide powder with other metals or oxides. The pelletsmade from these blends are subsequently reduced in a controlledatmosphere at high temperatures to remove excess oxygen from themaster alloy, leaving behind a fine dispersion of stable oxides in theiron matrix. Figure 1 shows scanning electron microscope (SEM) ima-ges of two sulphur-based master alloys produced via the melting &quenching route.

The question whether the MnS dispersoids could be converted toCeS or some other reaction product following dissolution of the sul-phur-based master alloy into a clean steel melt containing cerium insolution has been done using the master alloy shown in Fig. 1 (a).The steel was cast immediately after the addition was made. In somecases it was also possible to observe the conversion of MnS to CeSas can be seen in Fig. 2 (a)
