    Strain Hardening Behavior Characterization of Dual Phase Steels
    (2018) Davut, Kemal; Şimşir, Caner; Çetin, Bariş
    The 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.

    Temperature Effects in Deep Drawing of Advanced High Strengthsteels
    (MIM RESEARCH GROUP, 2021) Akcan, Kadir; Billur, Eren; Saraç, H. İbrahim
    As advanced high strength steels (AHSS) find more use in automotive industry to meet crashworthiness and light weighting targets, concurrently. AHSS typically have higher strength, but lower formability; often limiting a part’s dimensions and geometric complexity. Several studies have clearly shown that, in sheet metal forming, significant portion of the work done to overcome friction and to plastically deform a sheet is converted into heat. In this study, a thermomechanical finite element model has been developed to calculate the temperature rise in forming DP800 (AHSS). The model was validated with experiments from literature. A multi-cycle model is developed to find out possible problems due to tool heating. The process and material are selected to speed up the heating. Under different realistic press conditions, failures are observed after 20 to 80 hits.

    Transformation Induced Plasticity (trip) of Sae 52100 Steel During Martensitic and Bainitic Transformations
    (2017) Şimşir, Caner
    Transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) of SAE 52100 steel during quenching is investigatedboth experimentally and theoretically. TRIP parameter (K) is determinedexperimentally for both martensitic and bainitic transformations by using the stresseddilatometry technique. A new method for extraction of for an incomplete transformationis suggested for the martensitic transformation. Theoretical calculations using wellestablishedmodels for the TRIP effect and the results from the literature are used forthe justification of the results of this work. The results for bainitic transformation isfound to be in good agreement with both the literature and theoretical calculations usingLeblond`s model. On the other hand, experimentally determined value is found to besignificantly different from the literature. Nevertheless, it is still in reasonable agreementwith the calculations using Leblond`s model.

    Deposition and Characterization of Znsnse2 Thin-Films Deposited by Using Sintered Stoichiometric Powder
    (2019) Sürücü, Özge Bayraklı; Güllü, Hasan Hüseyin
    In this work, ZnSnSe2 (ZTSe) thin films were deposited using crystalline powder grown by vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger technique. The deposition process was carried out by means of e-beam evaporation on the well-cleaned soda lime glass substrates and keeping them at the substrate temperature of 200°C. The structural, optical and electrical properties of ternary ZTSe thin films were investigated depending on the annealing temperature at 250 and 300°C. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that as-grown films were in amorphous structure, however annealing at 250°C triggered the crystallization on the preferred ternary structure and annealing at 300°C resulted in the changes from amorphous to the polycrystalline structure. Using the compositional analysis, the detail information about the stoichiometry and the segregation mechanisms of the constituent elements in the structure were determined for both as-grown and annealed samples. In addition, they were morphologically characterized using scanning electron microscopy technique. The electrical properties were analyzed using temperature dependent dark- and photo-conductivity measurements. From the variation of electrical conductivity as a function of the ambient temperature, the current transport mechanisms and corresponding activation energies at specific temperature intervals for each sample were determined. The optical properties for the ZTSe thin films were studied depending on the structural changes with annealing.

    Farklı Geleneksel ve Çelik Lifli Beton Katmanlarına Sahip Betonarme Kirişlerin Eğilme Davranışı
    (2022) Mertol, Halit Cenan
    Bu çalışmada, farklı geleneksel ve çelik lifli beton katmanlarına sahip betonarme kirişlerin eğilme davranışı incelenmiştir. Boyutları 180×250×3500 mm olan toplamda 10 kiriş, iki grupa bölünerek dört nokta yüklemesi altında eğilme davranışı değerlendirmesi için test edilmiştir. Tüm kirişlerde çekme bölgesinde 416 donatısı kullanılmıştır. Bu araştırmadaki ana değişken kiriş yüksekliğince oluşturulan katmanlardaki beton tipidir. Kirişin yüksekliği her biri 50 mm olan 5 katmana ayrılmıştır. “F” grubunda bulunan geleneksel beton kullanılan kirişlerde, çelik lifli beton katmanları aşağıdan başlayarak geleneksel beton katmanlarının yerlerine yerleştirilmiştir. Örnek olarak, F15P10 kirişinin yüksekliği boyunca aşağıdan 150 mm’si çelik lifli betondan, yukarıda kalan 100 mm’si ise geleneksel betondan imal edilmiştir. “P” grubunda bulunan çelik lifli beton kullanılan kirişlerde ise, geleneksel beton katmanları aşağıdan başlayarak çelik lifli beton katmanlarının yerlerine yerleştirilmiştir. Örnek olarak, P10F15 kirişinin yüksekliği boyunca aşağıdan 100 mm’si geleneksel betondan, yukarıda kalan 150 mm’si ise çelik lifli betondan imal edilmiştir. Kirişlerin yük-sehim eğrileri elde edilmiş ve bu eğriler azami yük, kullanım rijitliği, tepe sonrası rijitlik ve eğilme tokluğu açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda göre, yeterli sünekliğin çekme bölgesinde bulunan çelik lifli beton katmanı ile sağlanabileceği belirlenmiştir. Bu katmanın, çekme bölgesinde olduğu sürece yüksekliğinin ve yerinin davranışı önemli bir şekilde etkilemediği görülmüştür.

    Production of 20 Mm Thick Api Psl 2 X60 and X70 Grade Plates From a Nb-Ti Microalloyed Steel
    (2020) Konca, Erkan
    This study was undertaken to determine the controlled rolling and cooling conditions for the production of 20 mm thick American Petroleum Institute (API) X60 and X70 grade steel plates. Nb-Ti microalloyed steel slabs of 200 mm thickness were rolled at fourdifferent finish rolling temperatures (conventional, 950°C, 850°C and 800°C). In some trials, a water table was employed to provide accelerated cooling just after finish rolling. Mechanical tests (tensile, impact and drop weight tear-DWTT) and microstructural examinations were performed on the samples taken from the trial production plates. Fine grainedand essentially ferritic microstructures with strength values satisfying the minimum yieldstrength requirement of 415 MPa for the API X60 grade were easily obtained in all rollingconditions. However, the minimum yield strength requirement of 485 MPa for the APIX70 grade was reached only when accelerated cooling was applied after finish rolling. Theminimum 85% shear fracture required by the DWTT of the API PSL 2 specification couldbe met when the finish rolling temperature was lowered or when accelerated cooling wasapplied regardless of the finish rolling temperature.

    Design and Manufacturing of a Pin on Disk Tribometer
    (2024) Küçüköztaş, Korcan; Nassar, Mohammed; Kaftanoğlu, Bilgin; Talay, İlker; Çalışkan, Fatih; Elsakka, Mustafa A.A.
    This paper presents the design and manufacturing of a pin on disk tribometer aimed at performing friction and wear testing as accurate as a professional tribometer at a lower cost. Since friction is an important part of our lives and its application varies greatly in size, environment and other factors, testing can be expensive. Tribometers are instruments where these conditions can be simulated experimentally. They are manufactured by various companies abroad and are imported to Turkey. For this reason, the cost of these instruments is very high. The design of the manufactured tribometer prioritizes portability and low cost of manufacturing. The manufacturing process of the various parts are discussed in detail. The tribometer was manufactured in the ATILIM University manufacturing laboratories within a tight budget using CNC machining. The instrument has the full capability to adjust the load, testing radius, motor speed, and the duration of the test before starting the experiments. To handle the electronics and data gathering within the instrument, Arduino boards and software are utilized. Real-time data streaming is made possible for data analysis tasks both during and after the experiments. The paper also provides the results of experiments that are obtained from the newly developed tribometer and comparisons with a mass produced, professional tribometer. The experiments are conducted with the same type of samples and with the same parameters. The manufactured tribometer provides researchers with easily accessible friction data that is within close range to what they would get from a professional tribometer.

    Synthesis and Investigation of Structural-Mechanical Properties of C-Bn Based Bn Thin Films
    (2017) Efeoğlu, İhsan; Totik, Yaşar; Keleş, Ayşenur; Ersoy, Kıvılcım; Durkaya, Göksel; Dayauç, Ayşenur Keleş
    C-BN films are candidate material to diamond due to their promising properties. Although some properties of c-BN films are better than diamond, adhesion properties between the substrate and the film are very poor. In this study, c-BN films were deposited by closed-field unbalanced magnetron sputtering system onto 4140 steels in Ar/N2 atmosphere. The c-BN films coated in three different N2flow rates. The coated specimens were characterized by SEM and X-ray diffraction techniques. The bonding state of B, N and C elements were obtained using XPS. The mechanical properties of the c-BN films were tested by micro-indentation. The adhesion properties between substrate and the film were investigated by using scratch test. The tribological properties were carried out using pin-on-disc in atmospheric conditions. Our results showed that the c-BN films exhibited very dense and columnar microstructure. The maximum critical load was read 23 N in the softest c-BN film. The maximum and minimum hardness were measured 69 GPa and 33 GPa, respectively. When the hardness was increased the friction coefficient was decreased. The lowest friction coefficient (0.15) was obtained from the hardest film and the highest friction coefficient (0.65) was obtained from the lowest hardness

    Microstructural Analysis of Austempered Ductile Iron Castings
    (2016) Çetin, Barış; Meco, Halim; Davut, Kemal; Arslan, Ebru; Uzun?, Mustafa Can
    Austempered ductile iron (ADI) castings have a wide range of application areas in engineering designs due to their promising mechanical properties and lower cost. ADI has very good strength and toughness values at the same time its ductility is relatively high compared to most of the other cast irons. These promising mechanical properties originate from combination of specific graphite and matrix microstructure. The size, shape and fraction of graphite as well as the matrix microstructure influences the mechanical properties. In this paper the efforts regarding to a localization project of ADI is presented. In a more detailed manner, the first locally produced ADI which cannot satisfy the mechanical properties stated in ISO 17804 is compared with the original sample which is conform with the standard. The two pieces are inspected by mechanically and microstructurally by means of which necessary actions are detected for the local production. In other words the relation between the macro mechanical properties and the microstructural conditions are tried to be clarified.
