Article Citation Count: 7Effect of hydrogen on fracture locus of Fe-16Mn-0.6C-2.15Al TWIP steel(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2020) Billur, Eren; Cetin, Baris; Bayram, Ferdi Caner; Billur, Eren; Automotive EngineeringEffect of hydrogen on the mechanical response and fracture locus of commercial TWIP steel was investigated comprehensively by tensile testing TWIP steel samples at room temperature and quasi-static regime. 5 different sample geometries were utilized to ensure different specific stress states and a digital image correlation (DIC) system was used during tensile tests. Electrochemical charging method was utilized for hydrogen charging and microstructural characterizations were carried out by scanning electron microscope. Stress triaxiality factors were calculated throughout the plastic deformation via finite element analysis (FEA) based simulations and average values were calculated at the most critical node. A specific Python script was developed to determine the equivalent fracture strain. Based on the experimental and numerical results, the relation between the equivalent fracture strain and stress triaxiality was determined and the effect of hydrogen on the corresponding fracture locus was quantified. The deterioration in the mechanical response due to hydrogen was observed regardless of the sample geometry and hydrogen changed the fracture mode from ductile to brittle. Moreover, hydrogen affected the fracture locus of TWIP steel by lowering the equivalent failure strains at given stress triaxiality levels. In this study, a modified Johnson-Cook failure mode was proposed and effect of hydrogen on damage constants were quantified. (C) 2020 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Strain rates were selected as 1 s(-1) and 10(-3) s(-1) and tensile tests were conducted on both hydrogen uncharged and hydrogen charged specimens at room temperature. Electrochemical hydrogen charging method was utilized and the diffusion length of hydrogen inside Al 7075 was modeled. Material characterizations were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and microstructural observations of hydrogen uncharged and hydrogen charged specimens were performed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). As opposed to earlier studies, hydrogen embrittlement (HE) was more pronounced at high strain rate cases. Moreover, hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity (HELP) was the more dominant hydrogen embrittlement mechanism at slower strain rate but coexistence of hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity and hydrogen enhanced decohesion was observed at a medium strain rate. Overall, the current findings shed light on the complicated hydrogen embrittlement behavior of Al 7075 and constitute an efficient guideline for the usage of Al 7075 that can be subject to different strain rate loadings in service.Article Citation Count: 0Investigation of the Combined Effects of Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Machining and Minimum Quantity Lubrication on Al7075-T6(Hindawi Ltd, 2024) Namlu, Ramazan Hakkı; Cetin, Baris; Lotfi, Bahram; Kilic, S. Engin; Kılıç, Sadık Engin; Mechanical Engineering; Department of Mechanical Engineering; Manufacturing EngineeringThe aluminum alloy Al7075-T6 finds extensive application in the aviation and automotive industries, where machining plays a pivotal role. Emerging techniques such as Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Machining (UVAM) and Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) hold promise for enhancing machining efficiency. In this study, the combined use of UVAM and MQL for slot milling of Al7075-T6 was investigated. The results demonstrate that UVAM reduced cutting forces by an average of 10.87% in MQL and 8.31% in Conventional Cutting Fluid (CCF) conditions when compared to Conventional Machining (CM). In addition, UVAM yielded significantly improved surface finishes, characterized by an average reduction in surface roughness of 41.86% in MQL and 32.11% in CCF conditions relative to CM. Furthermore, surfaces subjected to UVAM exhibited fewer instances of burn marks and tool-induced markings, reduced chip splashing, and more uniform surface integrity compared to those manufactured with CM. Lastly, chips generated through UVAM exhibited distinct characteristics, notably shorter length, curvier shape, and a distinctive half-turn morphology when compared with the irregular chips produced through CM. In conclusion, our findings underscore the potential of UVAM in synergy with MQL to augment the machining of Al7075-T6 alloy, thereby yielding superior-quality machined components with enhanced operational efficiency.Article Citation Count: 0Isogeometric boundary element formulation for cathodic protection of amphibious vehicles(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Baranoğlu, Besim; Atak, Kaan; Cetin, Baris; Baranoglu, Besim; Cetin, Barbaros; Manufacturing EngineeringIn this study, we propose an isogeometric boundary element formulation for the cathodic protection (CP) modeling for amphibious vehicles which includes the treatment of non-linear boundary conditions. Half-space Green's functions are utilized which leads to the discretization of the hull surface only. Non-Uniform Rational B splines (NURBS) are employed to represent both geometry and field variables to obtain higher accuracy where discontinuous collocation points are utilized to make multi-patch implementation easier. Variable condensation technique is applied to manipulate system matrices in a such way that the solution is iterated only on the surfaces where non-linear boundary conditions are assigned which results in reduced computational cost. The computational performance of the formulation is assessed with different solvers for a representative hull geometry.Article Citation Count: 9Machinability evaluations of austempered ductile iron and cast steel with similar mechanical properties under eco-friendly milling conditions(Elsevier, 2021) Yılmaz, Okan Deniz; Davut, Kemal; Cetin, Baris; Ucak, Necati; Cicek, Adem; Yilmaz, Okan Deniz; Davut, Kemal; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering; Manufacturing EngineeringIn engineering applications, to increase productivity and to decrease production costs, the selection of the proper engineering material is essential. At that point, machining operations directly affect the production costs. Therefore, determination of the material with the desired mechanical properties and easy-to-cut characteristics has a critical importance. This situation is currently gaining more importance in especially defense industry applications in which high strength engineering materials are heavily employed. In addition, tool performance and final product quality are directly influenced by the cooling and/or lubrication conditions in particularly interrupted cutting operations. In this study, machinability characteristics of G18NiMoCr3-6+QT1 cast steel (CS) and 1050-6 austempered ductile iron (ADI) with similar mechanical properties during milling operations were investigated. The tests were performed using TiAlN coated cemented carbide (WC-Co) end mills under dry, conventional cutting fluid (CCF), and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) conditions. Under each condition, the variations of cutting forces, tool wear, average surface roughness (Ra), and subsurface microstructure and microhardness were analyzed for both materials and then compared to one another. Test results showed that 1050-6 ADI led to further tool wear in comparison to G18NiMoCr3-6+QT1 CS. According to obtained results, dry condition is more favorable than CCF and MQL conditions in terms of cutting forces, surface roughness, and tool wear for both types of material. In addition, examinations on subsurface microstructures showed that MQL conditions provided an effective cutting environment to maintain microstructural stability of workpiece materials.

The method utilizes the exact Green's function for a diffusion problem with a piecewise constant heat source meaning that the heat source term is defined as the superposition of piece-wise constant contributions in each time interval and in each spatial interval. This approach allows the modeling of any arbitrary spatial distribution of heating with time varying power. Moreover, the method is not limited to straight-line motion of the heat source, and can include internal heating as well as surface heating. One important aspect of the method is that spatial discretization is required only on the path of the heating source and at the observation locations of interest, consequently the discretization of the entire domain is not required as in the case of fully-numerical methods. To verify the semi-analytical source method, an experimental setup was constructed and experiments were conducted with a fiber laser, and satisfactory agreement is achieved. Several case studies are also demonstrated with a Gaussian heat source. The semi-analytical source method is particularly well-suited for parallel computing. To explore this aspect, the parallelization of the method is explored using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and domain decomposition with up to 800 processors on Stampede2. The parallelization results reveal that semi-analytical method is very suitable for parallel computation. For a strong scaling, the method shows an ideal linear scaling with increasing number of processors with a proper load balance. The weak scaling reveals that the parallelization performance exponentially increases with the increasing time domain due to convolution nature of the method in time. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
