The Atılım University Department of Mechanical Engineering started education in 2009, and offers graduate and doctorate degree programs, in addition to its undergraduate program. Our main goal is to graduate Mechanical Engineers who have the skills to design, analyze and synthesize; who are able to convert advanced technology and innovations into products; and who have the culture of research and cooperation. While our graduates reach this goal, they adopt the principle of life-long learning, and develop a sense of entrepreneurship, paying importance to professional ethics. With a curriculum prepared in line with the criteria of MÜDEK, we help our students develop themselves professionally, and socially. Graduates of mechanical engineering may be employed in many sectors and in a wide array of positions. Able to work under any field that involves production and energy conversion, graduates of the department may also gain expertise in fields such as aviation, automotive, or material engineering.

Manufacturing Engineering
(2003)
Opened in 2003 with the aim to graduate experts in the field of machine-production, our Department is among the firsts in our country to offer education in English. The Manufacturing Engineering program focuses on the manufacturing technologies that shape materials from raw materials to final products by means of analytical, experimental and numerical modeling methods. First Manufacturing Engineering Program to be engineered by Müdek, our department aims to graduate creative and innovative Manufacturing Engineers that are knowledgeable in the current technology, and are able to use production resources in an effective and sustainable way that never disregards environmental facts. As the first Department to implement the Cooperative Education Program at Atılım University in coordination with institutions from the industry, the Manufacturing Engineering offers a practice-oriented approach in education with its laboratory infrastructure and research opportunities. The curriculum at our department is supported by current engineering software, and catered to creating engineers equipped to meet the needs of the production industry.

Abstract

Al6061-T6 is frequently used in the automotive and aerospace industries, where milling is an essential process, due to its high strength-to-weight ratio. In order to achieve improved surface quality in milling, Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Milling (UVAM) has been introduced recently. Besides, Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) is another advanced method to enhance the surface properties of the cutting by improving the coolant performance. However, the effects of simultaneous implementation of UVAM and MQL methods has not yet been studied sufficiently. This paper investigates the effects of applying UVAM in tandem with MQL in cutting of Al6061-T6. The results showed that surface quality enhanced with this combination. © 2022 The Authors.
