Article Citation - WoS: 8Effect of Austenitizing Temperatures on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Aisi 9254 Steel(Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2021) Murathan, Omer Faruk; Davut, Kemal; Kilicli, VolkanIn this study, the effect of austenitizing temperatures and low-temperature isothermal heat treatment (below martensite start temperature) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AISI 9254 high silicon spring steel has been investigated. Experimental studies show that ultra-fine carbide-free bainite, tempered martensite and carbon enriched retained austenite could be observed in isothermally heat-treated samples where the as-received sample consisted of fine pearlite. A high tensile strength of similar to 2060 MPa, a total elongation of similar to 8 %, and absorbed energy of 105 J were achieved in a commercial high-Si steel by austempering below the Ms temperature. A good combination of strength and ductility has been obtained in prolonged austempering below the martensite start temperature (225 degrees C) from an austenitizing temperature of 870 degrees C.Article Strain Hardening Behavior Characterization of Dual Phase Steels(2018) Davut, Kemal; Şimşir, Caner; Çetin, BarişThe requirements for higher passenger safety, improved fuel economy and weight reductionin automobile industry necessitates the usage of advanced high strength steel (AHSS)grades. Dual phase (DP) steels are the most widely used one among AHSS. DP steels becomeincreasingly popular, since they provide a combination of sufficient formability at room temperatureand tensile strength over 1000 MPa. The current standards for DP steels only specifiesyield and tensile strength. Steels from various producers have considerably different compositionand microstructure; however they still have the same grade name. Combined withthe inherited heterogeneous microstructure, those steels exhibit different strain hardeningbehavior. The aim of this study is to evaluate the strain hardening behavior of DP800 steels,obtained from different vendors and thus having different compositions and microstructures.The strain hardening behavior was characterized with tensile tests performed along rollingand transverse directions. The microstructure has been characterized with optical andscanning electron microscopes. The martensite fraction, grain size of ferrite and chemicalcomposition has been correlated to the strain hardening behavior. The results show thatthe steel with more micro-alloying addition has finer ferritic grain size, which cause higherinitial strain hardening rate. The steel with higher Mn and Cr has higher martensite fraction,which cause strain hardening rate to be higher at higher strain levels.Research Project Magnezyum Alaģımı-benzeri Bileģiklerin Sinir Kılavuz Kanalı Uygulaması Ġçin Elektroeğirme Ġle Üretimi(2019) Türkoğlu, Hilal Şaşmazel; Bişkin, Erhan; Davut, KemalPeriferik sinir yaralanmalarında, 5 mm'den büyük hasarlarda cerrahi müdahale yetersiz kaldıgı ve sinir dokusunun iyilesme hızı göreceli olarak yavas oldugu için olusan bosluk inflamasyon hücrelerinden olusan yara dokusuyla kapanarak sinir hattında fonksiyon kaybına sebep olmaktadır. Dolayısıyla büyük hasarların tedavisi için bölgenin çevre dokudan izole edilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu amaçla, yaygın olarak çalısılan ve klinik uygulamalarda tercih edilmeye baslanan sinir kılavuz kanalı öne çıkmaktadır. Biyouyumlu ve biyobozunum hızı düsük olması gereken sinir kılavuz kanalları, oksijen/besin/atık alısverisine olanak saglayacak ancak inflamasyon hücreleri girisine izin vermeyecek gözenek yapısında olmalıdır. Dolayısıyla, seçilen malzemenin biyobozunma hızı ve bozunma ürünlerinin toksisite derecesi ile üretim için tercih edilen yöntemin gözeneklilik kontrolü saglaması oldukça önemlidir. Literatürde, polimerler kullanılarak düsük maliyetli ve kolay üretilebilen sinir kılavuz kanalları üzerine çalısmalar yapılmaktadır. Metaller ise mekanik dayanım ve iletkenliklerine ragmen geleneksel yöntemlerle mikron seviyesindeki gözeneklilikte üretilemediklerinden, tercih edilememektedir. Bu projede, yaygın olarak stent uygulamaları için çalısılan, ticari seviyede kullanılmak üzere FDA onayı almıs ve biyolojik yeterliligi stent uygulaması için kanıtlanmıs bir magnezyum alasımına benzer kompozisyonda bir bilesigin sinir kılavuz kanalı uygulamaları için kullanılmak üzere gelistirilmesi çalısılmıstır. Magnezyum düsük yogunluk ve toksisite ile yüksek özgül dayanım ve elektrik iletkenligine sahip, vücutta bol bulunan ve metabolizmayı besleyici bir elementtir. Böylece gelistirilen kanalın, fiziksel, kimyasal ve biyolojik olarak üstün performans göstermesi öngörülmüstür. Söz konusu metalik alasım-benzeri bilesigin üretiminde, geleneksel yaklasımlardan farklı olarak, proses kolaylıgı ve üstün gözeneklilik kontrolü saglayan elektroegirme yöntemi seçilmis ve alasımın bilesenlerinin nitratlı bilesikleri ile PVA çözelti ham maddesi olarak kullanılması suretiyle elektroegirme yapılmıstır. Bu süreçte, ham madde/çözücü konsantrasyonları, sıcaklık, viskozite gibi çözelti parametreleri ile voltaj, uzaklık, besleme hızı gibi proses parametreleri gözle muayene ve SEM görüntüleriyle optimize edilmistir. Daha sonra, argon atmosferi altında kontrollü kalsinasyona tabi tutularak bilesenlerin istenilen alasım kompozisyonunda kristallesmesi ve alasım harici bilesenlerin uzaklastırılması saglanmıstır. Kalsinasyon sürecinde uygulanan, çoklu sıcaklık/süre kademesinden olusan ısıl islem profili, elektroegirilmis numunelere yapılan termal analizler sonucunda olası faz dönüsümlerinden kaynaklanan endotermik ve ekzotermik piklerin belirlenmesi ve bu piklere matematiksel reaksiyon kinetigi yaklasımının uygulanmasıyla tasarlanmıstır. Kalsinasyon süreci sonrası elde edilen nihai numunelerin kristalografik yapısı, elemental kompozisyonu, morfolojik özellikleri ve alasım harici bilesenlerin uzaklastırıldıgı/uzaklastırılamadıgı sırasıyla XRD, EDX, SEM ve XPS ile tayin edilmistir. Ayrıca elde edilen numunelerin absorpsiyon/sisme kapasitesi, ıslatılabilirligi, geçirgenligi ve bozunma hızı gibi fiziksel ve kimyasal özellikleri de tamamlanan projedeki karakterizasyon çalısmaları kapsamında gerçeklestirilmistir. Çalısmaların son basamagında, gelistirilen sinir kılavuz kanalı materyali adayının hücre-materyal etkilesimi, fare fibroblast hücre hattı ile MTT analizi, hemositometrik sayım ve çesitli boyama/görüntüleme teknikleri kullanılarak hücre canlılıgı, yapısma, yayılma ve üreme kabiliyetleri bakımından incelenmistir. Tamamlanan proje çalısmasından elde edilen fiziksel, kimyasal ve biyouyumluluk performans verileri, elektroegirme yöntemiyle magnezyum temelli alasım benzeri bilesikten olusan fibröz gözenekli yapıların sinir kılavuz kanalı uygulamalarında kullanılabilme potansiyeli olabilecegini göstermistir.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9Elektrik Direnç Punta Kaynağı ile Birleştirilen %15 Deforme Edilmiş Twıp Çeliğinde Kaynak Akımının Mikroyapı ve Mekanik Özellikler Üzerindeki Etkisi(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2020) Aydın, Hakan; Tutar, Mümin; Davut, Kemal; Bayram, AliÇalışmada, %15 deforme edilmiş TWIP saclarının elektrik direnç punta kaynağıyla birleştirmelerindekaynak akımının mikroyapı ve mekanik özellikler üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir.

Kaynak akımıartışı ile erime bölgesindeki kaynak boşlukları azalırken, çekirdek çapı, çökme miktarı ve ısı tesiri altındakibölge (ITAB) genişliği yaklaşık lineer bir şekilde artmıştır. Kaynak bölgesinde deformasyon ikizleri ortadankalkarken, ITAB’da iri tavlama ikizleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca, kaynak akımı artışıyla ITAB’daki taneirileşmesi ve ikiz kalınlıkları artmıştır. Ancak, kaynak işlemi kaynak bölgesinde herhangi bir fazdönüşümüne neden olmamıştır. Bu sebeple, kaynak bölgesi sertlik değerleri temel malzemenin sertlikdeğerlerinden oldukça düşük kalmıştır. Genel itibariyle, en düşük sertlikler ITAB’da gözlenmiştir. Kaynakakımı ile kaynak bölgesi sertlik değerleri arasında herhangi bir korelasyon elde edilmemiştir.

Kırılma karakteristikleri genel itibariyle gevrek-sünek karışımıdır. Daha yüksekmukavemete sahip numunelerde gevrek-sünek kırılma bölgesinde sünek kırılma, gevrek kırılma bölgesindeise trans-granular kırılma karakteristikleri artış göstermiştir.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 11Influence of the Heat Treatment on the Microstructure, Mechanical and High-Temperature Oxidation Behavior of Hastelloy X Alloy Fabricated Via Laser Powder Bed Fusion(Elsevier Science Sa, 2025) Ozer, Seren; Yalcin, Mustafa Alp; Bilgin, Gueney Mert; Davut, Kemal; Esen, Ziya; Dericioglu, Arcan F.The effect of building direction and heat treatment on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and high- temperature oxidation behavior of Hastelloy X (HX) alloy fabricated by the laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) method was studied. Electron backscatter diffraction analyses revealed that the development of textured columnar grains with varying average grain sizes, boundary fractions, and dislocation densities induced the mechanical anisotropy observed in both horizontally and vertically fabricated samples. The yield strength (YS) values of the horizontally and vertically as-fabricated samples were determined as 605.7 +/- 15.9 MPa and 552.3 +/- 8.5 MPa, respectively. The post-processing heat treatment increased the ductility remarkably and reduced YS value down to similar to 445 MPa for all samples by the elimination of microstructural anisotropy and increased grain size subsequent to recrystallization. Oxidation tests conducted at 900 degrees C up to 100 h on as- fabricated samples exhibited severe intergranular oxidation, which was accompanied by the formation of large voids and microcracks as well as spallation of the oxide layer. In contrast, the heat-treatment improved the oxidation resistance of the alloy possibly due to the formation of uniform and dense Cr2O3 layer on the substrate surface.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Chemical Composition Optimization and Isothermal Transformation of Δ-Transformation Plasticity Steel for the Third-Generation Advanced High-Strength Steel Grade(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2024) Okur, Onur; Davut, Kemal; Palumbo, Gianfranco; Nalcaci, Burak; Guglielmi, Pasquale; Yalcin, Mustafa Alp; Erdogan, MehmetA new low-manganese transformation-induced plasticity steel is designed with optimized nickel content to achieve superior strength and ductility while minimizing the use of expensive nickel. The steel is optimized using JMatPro software, then cast, and hot rolled. To assess the effect of intercritical annealing on austenite (martensite at room temperature) volume fraction and carbon content, hot-rolled steel samples quenched from different annealing temperatures (680-1100 degrees C) are used. Additionally, hot-rolled steel coupons are intercritically annealed at about 50% austenite formation temperature (740 degrees C) and then subjected to isothermal treatments at 300-425 degrees C for varying times (10-90 min). After optimizing these treatments to maximize retained austenite (RA), tensile specimens are heat-treated first at 740 degrees C and then isothermally at 325 degrees C. Thermodynamic calculations suggest that aluminum combined with silicon may lead to the delta ferrite formation, and even minimal nickel content can stabilize a considerable amount of austenite. In the experimental studies, it is shown that lower-temperature bainitic holding enhances austenite stability by enriching the carbon content. Optimized two-stage heat treatments yield up to 25.8% RA, with a tensile strength of 867.2 MPa and elongation of 40.6%, achieving a strength-elongation product of 35.2 GPax%, surpassing the third-generation advanced high-strength steel grades minimum requirement of 30 GPax%.Article Citation - WoS: 45Citation - Scopus: 49Recrystallization and Grain Growth Kinetics of In718 Manufactured by Laser Powder Bed Fusion(Elsevier, 2022) Dogu, Merve Nur; Davut, Kemal; Obeidi, Muhannad Ahmed; Yalcin, Mustafa Alp; Gu, Hengfeng; Low, Thaddeus Song En; Brabazon, DermotThe recrystallization and grain growth behaviour of IN718 alloy additively manufactured by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is presented herein. The effects of three different temperatures (1050, 1150 and 1250 degrees C) and holding times (15, 45 and 90 min) were investigated. The texture evolution of the samples was recorded via electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The as-built sample is composed of bowl-shaped melt pools, a chessboard-like grain pattern and has a cube texture {100}<001>. Recrystallized grains were observed in the samples treated at 1150 degrees C for 15 min, as well as the samples treated for longer periods and at higher temperatures. Recrystallization was observed to start from high dislocation density regions, including the overlapping melt pools and the borders of the chessboard-like pattern. The initial cube texture transforms into a first-generation cube-twin texture {122}<212> via a twinning-assisted recrystallization mechanism. Then, those recrystallization nuclei sweep through the high defect density matrix; during which almost no new twins are formed. The samples treated at 1250 degrees C are almost completely recrystallized, which forms a weaker cube texture and a stronger P-orientation {011}<112>. However, the growth of recrystallized grains is very limited due to the presence of non-coherent precipitates. (C) 2022 The Author(s).

Microstructural analyses showed that the high-temperature gradient and rapid solidification of the PBF-LB processing caused different resulting microstructures compared to conventionally pro-duced counterparts. The melt pool morphologies and laser scanning paths were examined in the as-fabricated samples in the XZ-and XY-planes, respectively. After the application of solution heat treatment at 1120 & DEG;C, the as-fabricated PBF-LB initial microstructure was still apparent. For solution heat treatments of 1200 & DEG;C and above, the melt pool and scanning path morphologies disappeared and converted into a mixture of columnar grains in the XZ-plane and equiaxed grains in the XY-plane. On the other hand, large equiaxed grains were observed when the samples were solutionized at 1240 & DEG;C. Additionally, g' phase precipitated within the matrix after all solution heat treatment conditions, which led to increase in the microhardness values. According to electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analyses, both as-fabricated and solution heat-treated samples had intense texture with {001} plane normal parallel to the building direction. The first recrystallized grains began to appear when the samples were subjected to the solution heat treatment at 1160 & DEG;C and the fraction of the recrystallized grains increased with increasing temperature, as supported by kernel average misorientation (KAM) and grain spread orientation (GOS) analyses.& COPY; 2023 The Author(s).

Although both aged samples demonstrated similar grain structure and recrystallization behavior according to the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis, as well as the precipitation of bimodal gamma ' phase and MC- and M23C6-type carbides, notable differences were observed in the size and morphology, particularly the gamma ' phase. The HT1 sample displayed coarsened primary gamma ' phase, with sizes reaching up to 2 mu m and exhibiting varied morphologies, including irregular and cuboidal shapes. Additionally, this treatment led to the formation of some gamma '-gamma eutectic regions and plate-like eta phase, along with the decomposition of MC-type carbides into M23C6-type carbides. In contrast, the HT2 sample displayed uniformly distributed spherical primary gamma ' phase with sizes ranging from 70 to 120 nm, accompanied by very fine secondary gamma ' phase. Furthermore, it was found that changes in both aged sample microstructures could result in the formation of strain-age cracks due to the gamma ' phase formation and liquation cracks due to the partial remelting of lower melting point phases. The findings also revealed that with the application of aging treatments, the hardness of the as-fabricated sample (339.8 +/- 3.4 HV) increased to 440.2 +/- 5.6 HV and 508.1 +/- 4.8 HV for the heat treatment of HT1 and HT2, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12A Comprehensive Characterization of the Effect of Spatter Powder on In939 Parts Fabricated by Laser Powder Bed Fusion(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Dogu, Merve Nur; Mussatto, Andre; Yalcin, Mustafa Alp; Ozer, Seren; Davut, Kemal; Obeidi, Muhannad Ahmed; Brabazon, DermotThis study is focused on a comprehensive characterization of virgin and spatter IN939 powders and the effects of a certain amount of spatter powder on the part quality of IN939 fabricated by the L-PBF process. A brown tint coloration formed Al2O3 oxide, pores, a 124.4% increase in the average particle size, a 10.2% decrease in the powder circularity, and a 7.5% decrease in the powder aspect ratio were observed in the spatter powder. Additionally, higher average grain size and lower nanohardness were obtained for the spatter powder. In order to understand the effect of a certain amount of spatter powder on the part quality, 10 wt% spatter powder was mixed with the virgin powder. This addition was found to decrease the flowability of the powder. Moreover, this addition decreased relative density by around 0.3% and increased surface roughness by around 80.8% in the fabricated samples (termed as V and SV). On the other hand, there was no considerable microstructural, texture, microhardness, and nanohardness difference between V and SV samples, although the spatter powder addition caused a 30.2% increase in the average grain size of SV. The overall texture for both V and SV samples exhibit (00 1)//BD.
