Lecture at the Haus der Wissenschaft now available on Youtube

In her lecture ‘Sherlock Holmes in materials technology’, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bettina Camin explained to an interested audience at 11 a.m. on 3 August at the Haus der Wissenschaft Bremen how microscopic damage inside components can be detected using high-resolution computer tomography. Using the example of a turbine blade, she demonstrated and explained the phenomenology of pore formation through the Kirkendall effect using three-dimensional images. Her lecture is now available on Youtube.

Prof. Dr Bettina Camin will present her research on the Kirkendall effect at the ‘Materialography 2024’ conference of the German Society for Materials Science (18-20 September 2024). The title of her presentation: ‘Interface analysis of diffusion-welded nickel/nickel-based superalloy material pairings’. And under the title ‘Tomographic investigation of evolving Kirkendall porosity in diffusion couples of Ni/Ni-based superalloys’, she will give an insight into her research at ‘MSE 2024 - Materials Science and Engineering’ (24-26 September 2024).

University professor Dr Bettina Camin investigates the Kirkendall effect in real time

It leads to cable breakage in mobile phones and defects in aircraft turbines: the Kirkendall effect. This causes composite materials to become porous and unstable. Prof Dr Bettina Camin wants to find out how porosity develops so that the defects can be better controlled. In a research project at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences, she is the first scientist to observe the voids in the material in real time as they develop.
