(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020) Bal, Burak; Okdem, Bilge; Bayram, Ferdi Caner; Aydin, Murat; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02.06. Makine Mühendisliği; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi
Effects of hydrogen and temperature on impact response and corresponding microstructure of aluminum (Al) 7075 alloy were investigated under medium strain rate impact loading. The specimens were subjected to impact energy of 12 J and 25 J, corresponding to impact velocities of 2.13 m/s and 3.08 m/s, respectively. These energy levels were decided after a couple of impact tests with different impact energy values, such as 6 J, 10 J, 12 J, 25 J. The experiments were conducted at five different temperatures. Electrochemical charging method was used for hydrogen charging. Microstructural observations of hydrogen uncharged and hydrogen charged specimens were carried out by scanning electron microscope. Hydrogen changed the crack propagation behavior of Al 7075 alloy depending on the temperature. Coexistence of several hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms, such as hydrogen enhanced decohesion (HEDE) and hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity (HELP) were observed under impact loading. The impact response of Al 7075 was significantly deteriorated by the hydrogen charging and changing temperature affected the absorbed energy of hydrogen-charged specimens. In addition, molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to uncover the atomistic origin of hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms under impact loading. In particular, hydrogen decreased the cohesive energy and enhanced the average dislocation mobility. Therefore, the experimental results presented herein constitute an efficient guideline for the usage of Al alloys that are subject to impact loading in service in a wide range of temperatures.

Effect of Hydrogen on Fracture Locus of Fe-16Mn Twip Steel
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020) Bal, Burak; Cetin, Baris; Bayram, Ferdi Caner; Billur, Eren; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02.06. Makine Mühendisliği; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi
Effect 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.

Lateral Angular Co-Extrusion: Geometrical and Mechanical Properties of Compound Profiles
(MDPI, 2020) Thuerer, Susanne Elisabeth; Peddinghaus, Julius; Heimes, Norman; Bayram, Ferdi Caner; Bal, Burak; Uhe, Johanna; Klose, Christian; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02.06. Makine Mühendisliği; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi
A novel co-extrusion process for the production of coaxially reinforced hollow profiles has been developed. Using this process, hybrid hollow profiles made of the aluminum alloy EN AW-6082 and the case-hardening steel 20MnCr5 (AISI 5120) were produced, which can be forged into hybrid bearing bushings by subsequent die forging. For the purpose of co-extrusion, a modular tooling concept was developed where steel tubes made of 20MnCr5 are fed laterally into the tool. This LACE (lateral angular co-extrusion) process allows for a variation of the volume fraction of the reinforcement by using steel tubes with different wall thicknesses, which enabled the production of compound profiles having reinforcement contents of either 14 vol.% or 34 vol.%. The shear strength of the bonding area of these samples was determined in push-out tests. Additionally, mechanical testing of segments of the hybrid profiles using shear compression tests was employed to provide information about the influence of different bonding mechanisms on the strength of the composite zone.
Tuning Mechanical Performance of PCL Scaffolds: Influence of 3D Bioprinting Parameters, Polymer Concentration, and Solvent Selection
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2025) Ceylan, Saniye Aylin; Baltacioglu, Mehmet Furkan; Bal, Burak; Bayram, Ferdi Caner; Isoglu, Ismail Alper; 02.06. Makine Mühendisliği; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 04. Yaşam ve Doğa Bilimleri Fakültesi; 04.01. Biyomühendislik
The mechanical performance of three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted scaffolds is susceptible to printing parameters and material formulation. In this study, poly (epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds were fabricated using four different polymer concentrations (10%, 25%, 50%, and 75% w/v) to investigate how these variations, along with process parameters, influence mechanical behavior. Maintaining the structural integrity of bioprinted constructs requires careful optimization of polymer concentration and precise control over parameters such as printing speed, pressure, and infill density. Tensile tests were conducted to evaluate the effects of these variables. Among the tested conditions, a 50% (w/v) concentration allowed for a broader operational window, enabling fabrication across a range of printing speeds and pressures. At a printing speed of 5 mm s-1, PCL-DCM exhibited a Young's modulus of 39.0 MPa, while PCL-CF samples printed at 10 mm s-1 achieved the highest modulus of 32.0 MPa. Notably, when the printing speed was kept constant, applying higher pressures led to an increase in Young's modulus, suggesting that pressure plays a key role in enhancing scaffold stiffness. When comparing the 50% and 75% (w/v) polymer concentrations, the 50% (w/v) formulation stood out by offering both higher elongation and greater stiffness, which makes it particularly suitable for load-bearing applications. These findings provide a quantitative framework for optimizing extrusion-based bioprinting of PCL scaffolds, with implications for customized biomedical implants and regenerative medicine.

Hidrojen kırılganlığı veya hidrojen destekli çatlama olarak da bilinen hidrojen gevrekliği, hidrojen atomlarının metallerin kristal kafes yapısına girmesi, difüzyonu ve maruz kalması nedeniyle bazı metalik malzemelerin (yüksek mukavemetli çelikler, titanyum alaşımları, alüminyum alaşımları, vb.) kırılgan hale geldiği veya kırıldığı karmaşık bir süreçtir. Boru hattı çelikleri, zırh çelikleri, gelişmiş yüksek mukavemetli çelikler gibi çok çeşitli farklı yapısal malzemelerin mekanik özelliklerini (örneğin, süneklik ve/veya tokluk) belirgin şekilde düşüren ciddi bir konudur. Bu tez çalışmasının amacı, FNSS Savunma Sanayi Sistemleri tarafından kullanılan MIL-DTL-12560 Class-4a ve MIL-DTL-46100 askeri şartnamelerini sağlayan zırh çeliklerinin hidrojen gevrekleşme davranışlarını deneysel yöntemlerle araştırmak ve hidrojen geri difüzyon operasyonu için sıcaklık ve zaman parametrelerini optimize etmektir. Bu kapsamda, hidrojene maruz kaldığında mekanik özelliklerin olumsuz şekilde etkilendiğini tespit etmek için, iki farklı zırh çeliğinin hidrojen yüklü ve hidrojen yüklü olmayan numuneleri ile tek eksenli çekme, basma, yüksek gerinim hızı, sertlik, darbe ve balistik testler de dahil olmak üzere çeşitli mekanik testler gerçekleştirildi. Deneysel çalışmalarda kullanılmak üzere gerekli olan hidrojen yükleme işlemi, bir elektrokimyasal hidrojen sistemi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Son olarak, hidrojenli ve hidrojensiz numunelerin kırılma yüzeylerinde mikroyapısal analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Mikroyapının mekanik özelliklere etkisi ayrıca araştırılmıştır.
