Abstract

For assessing the quality of the joining area as well as researching the influence of joining parameters in combination with different materials, the principal stress components of sinter-joined micro valves were analysed. Transmission experiments have been conducted at the high-energy material science (HEMS) beamline P07 at PETRA III, DESY. Due to the dimensions of the samples, a high spatial resolution of the measurements was required. Of special interest was the distribution of residual stress in the joining area of the valves, which demanded a depth resolved measurement using a conical slit. Strains were deduced from the obtained Debye–Scherrer rings of the {200}, {211}, and {220}-planes of the α/α′-phase involving reference measurements on non-sintered powder of the specimen materials. The grain statistics have been improved by integrating over slices of the diffraction rings and by calculating a mean lattice parameter taking into account all lattice planes. From the strain data, the hydrostatic and the deviatoric stress were calculated for the three dimensional stress state.
