Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 14The Effect of Strain Rate on the Hydrogen Embrittlement Susceptibility of Aluminum 7075(ASME, 2022-11-22) Baltacioglu, Mehmet Furkan; Cetin, Baris; Bal, BurakThe effects of changing the strain rate regime from quasi-static to medium on hydrogen susceptibility of aluminum (Al) 7075 were investigated using tensile tests. Strain rates were selected as 1 s(-1) and 10(-3) s(-1) and tensile tests were conducted on both hydrogen uncharged and hydrogen charged specimens at room temperature. Electrochemical hydrogen charging method was utilized and the diffusion length of hydrogen inside Al 7075 was modeled. Material characterizations were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and microstructural observations of hydrogen uncharged and hydrogen charged specimens were performed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). As opposed to earlier studies, hydrogen embrittlement (HE) was more pronounced at high strain rate cases. Moreover, hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity (HELP) was the more dominant hydrogen embrittlement mechanism at slower strain rate but coexistence of hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity and hydrogen enhanced decohesion was observed at a medium strain rate. Overall, the current findings shed light on the complicated hydrogen embrittlement behavior of Al 7075 and constitute an efficient guideline for the usage of Al 7075 that can be subject to different strain rate loadings in service.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 15Lateral Angular Co-Extrusion: Geometrical and Mechanical Properties of Compound Profiles(MDPI, 2020-08-28) Thuerer, Susanne Elisabeth; Peddinghaus, Julius; Heimes, Norman; Bayram, Ferdi Caner; Bal, Burak; Uhe, Johanna; Klose, Christian; Thürer, Susanne ElisabethA 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.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7Experimental and Molecular Dynamics Simulation-Based Investigations on Hydrogen Embrittlement Behavior of Chromium Electroplated 4340 Steel(ASME, 2021-06-17) Dogan, Ozge; Kapci, Mehmet Fazil; Esat, Volkan; Bal, BurakIn this study, chromium electroplating process, corresponding hydrogen embrittlement, and the effects of baking on hydrogen diffusion are investigated. Three types of materials in the form of Raw 4340 steel, Chromium electroplated 4340 steel, and Chromium electroplated and baked 4340 steel are used in order to shed light on the aforementioned processes. Mechanical and microstructural analyses are carried out to observe the effects of hydrogen diffusion. Mechanical analyses show that the tensile strength and hardness of the specimens deteriorate after the chrome-electroplating process due to the presence of atomic hydrogen. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses are carried out for material characterization. Microstructural analyses reveal that hydrogen enters into the material with chromium electroplating process, and baking after chromium electroplating process is an effective way to prevent hydrogen embrittlement. Additionally, the effects of hydrogen on the tensile response of alpha-Fe-based microstructure with a similar chemical composition of alloying elements are simulated through molecular dynamics (MD) method.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Compression Performance of 3D-Printed Ant-Inspired Lattice Structures: An Innovative Design Approach(Sage Publications Ltd, 2025-01-12) Atahan, Mithat Gokhan; Saglam, SelmanIn this study, three different ant-inspired lattice design types: single, double, and inverted double structures were considered due to ants' excellent load-carrying weight ratio. Lattice structures were fabricated using the 3D printing method and polylactic acid filament was used as a printing material. The true blueprint images of the ant were used to obtain the parametric dimensions of the ant-inspired lattice structure. Hence, the presented innovative method for designing lattice structures can be a promising option for industrial sectors requiring high-strength structures. The quasi-static axial compression tests were conducted to evaluate the compression performance of the novel lattice structures. The compression performance of ant-inspired single lattice structures was compared based on specific force, specific energy absorption, and specific stiffness at different height values. The deformation stages and damage regions of ant-inspired lattice structures were analyzed to identify their critical regions during compression tests. The results indicated that as the height value increased, there was a notable decrease in specific force, specific energy absorption, and specific stiffness, along with buckling damage in the ant-inspired single lattice structures. Among the three design types, the ant-inspired inverted double lattice structure showed better compression performance compared to the ant-inspired double lattice structure; however, the ant-inspired single lattice structure with a height of 30 mm exhibited the highest overall compression performance.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 12A Study of Different Microstructural Effects on the Strain Hardening Behavior of Hadfield Steel(Korean Soc Steel Construction-KSSC, 2018-03) Bal, BurakThe effects of the initial texture, velocity gradient, strain increment and type of interaction tensor on the strain hardening response of Hadfield steel were investigated. To observe their influences on mechanical response, crystal plasticity computations were carried out with the aid of the Visco-Plastic Self-Consistent (VPSC) algorithm. Specifically, uniaxial deformation response of Hadfield steel was modeled based on the experimental deformation response at a strain rate of 1x10(-1) s(-1) and corresponding Voce hardening parameters were calculated. The same Voce hardening parameters were utilized with different boundary conditions in the VPSC simulations to identify the roles of the aforementioned microstructural properties. The current results demonstrate the importance of these microstructural properties for reliable predictions of the strain hardening response of Hadfield steel and constitute an important guideline for the proper selection of them.
