(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

Boron nitride (BN) has been utilized as a significant coating material for cutting tool applications due to its excellent mechanical and chemical properties. Cutting tools, molds and machine parts are coated with BN with the coating system using a sputtering technology - a physical vapour deposition (PVD) process. Design and manufacture of the equipment is made locally. Physical, mechanical and tribological properties such as thickness, friction coefficient, wear, and adhesion are measured by using calotest, tribometer, profilometer, micro and macro scratch test, and nanohardness devices. The results of characterization of the coatings show that wear resistance and hardness increase and BN coatings provide increased efficiency by creating a value-added manufacturing. In this case, the use of BN-coated tools in machining is expected to be one of the best solutions. (C) 2013 PEI, University of Maribor. All rights reserved.
