    The Experimental Determination of Thermophysical Properties of Intermetallic CuAl2 Phase in Equilibrium With (Al Plus Cu Plus Si) Liquid
    (Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-06) Altintas, Yemliha; Aksoz, Sezen; Keslioglu, Kazim; Marasli, Necmettin; Keşlioʇlu, KâzIm
    The equilibrated grain boundary groove shapes of solid CuAl2 in equilibrium with (Al + Cu + Si) eutectic liquid were observed from a quenched sample by using a radial heat flow apparatus. The Gibbs-Thomson coefficient, (solid + liquid) interfacial energy and grain boundary energy of the solid CuAl2 were determined from these observed shapes. The thermal conductivity of the eutectic solid and the thermal conductivity ratio of eutectic liquid to the eutectic solid in the (Al + 26.82 wt.% Cu + 5.27 wt.% Si) eutectic alloy at its eutectic melting temperature were also measured with a radial heat flow apparatus and a Bridgman-type growth apparatus, respectively. The three phases of (Al + Cu + Si) alloy have detected as Al solution, Si and theta (CuAl2) phases with EDX composition analysis and the microstructure of these phases were photographed by SEM.

    On the Utility of Crystal Plasticity Modeling to Uncover the Individual Roles of Microdeformation Mechanisms on the Work Hardening Response of Fe-23Mn TWIP Steel in the Presence of Hydrogen
    (ASME, 2018-02-08) Bal, B.; Koyama, M.; Canadinc, D.; Gerstein, G.; Maier, H. J.; Tsuzaki, K.
    This paper presents a combined experimental and theoretical analysis focusing on the individual roles of microdeformation mechanisms that are simultaneously active during the deformation of twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steels in the presence of hydrogen. Deformation responses of hydrogen-free and hydrogen-charged TWIP steels were examined with the aid of thorough electron microscopy. Specifically, hydrogen charging promoted twinning over slip-twin interactions and reduced ductility. Based on the experimental findings, a mechanism-based microscale fracture model was proposed, and incorporated into a visco-plastic self-consistent (VPSC) model to account for the stress-strain response in the presence of hydrogen. In addition, slip-twin and slip-grain boundary interactions in TWIP steels were also incorporated into VPSC, in order to capture the deformation response of the material in the presence of hydrogen. The simulation results not only verify the success of the proposed hydrogen embrittlement (HE) mechanism for TWIP steels, but also open a venue for the utility of these superior materials in the presence of hydrogen.

    Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Dense Si3N4 Ceramics Prepared by Direct Coagulation Casting and Cold Isostatic Pressing
    (Elsevier Science SA, 2022-09) Marulcuoglu, Hande; Kara, Ferhat
    Complex shaped dense Si3N4 ceramics were produced by using direct coagulation casting technique via dispersant reaction method of Si3N4 suspension, followed by gas pressure sintering. The effects of solid content of the suspension, additional cold isostatic pressing of the cast parts, and sintering behaviour and on the mechanical reliability of silicon nitride ceramics were investigated. It was observed that all slurries exhibited rheological properties suitable for casting in the range of 44-50 vol.% solid concentrations. Nevertheless, higher solid concentration suspensions resulted in smaller floc size and thus better green microstructures. Parts shaped by direct coagulation casting at all the solid loadings had relatively low strength and reliability after sintering. However, application of additional cold isostatic pressing to the cast parts increased the strength and, particularly, reliability. Dense Si3N4 ceramics with relative density above 99.5%, average bending strength 760 +/- 39 MPa and Weibull module 23.5 had been obtained with 50 vol.% solids content after DCC + CIP process.

    Investigations of Electrical Resistivity and Thermal Conductivity Dependences on Growth Rate in the Al-Cu Eutectic Alloy
    (Springer/plenum Publishers, 2021-05-03) Marasli, Necmettin; Bayram, Umit
    Directional solidification of Al-Cu-Ti (Al-33wt%Cu-0.1wt%Ti) eutectic alloy was done with a growth rate range (V = 8.58 to 2038.65 mu m.s(-1)) at a temperature gradient of 6.45 K.mm(-1) using Bridgman-type directional solidification furnace. The measurements of thermal conductivity (K) and electrical resistivity (rho) for the Al-Cu-Ti alloy solidified with the different values of V were made by the longitudinal heat flow method (LHFM) and DC four-point probe technique (FPPT). While the highest values of K and rho were determined to be 236.04 W.K-1.m(-1) and 5.91 x 10(-8) omega m, respectively, at 8.58 mu m.s(-1), the lowest values of K and rho were obtained to be 199.82 W.K-1.m(-1) and 12.11 x 10(-8) omega m, respectively, at 2038.65 mu m.s(-1). The K and rho dependences on V were obtained to be K=259.96xV(-0.032) and rho=4.47x10(-8)V(0.13) from linear regression analysis. The fusion enthalpy ( increment H) and specific heat difference between solid and liquid ( increment C-P) for the Al-Cu-Ti were also determined to be 222.69 J.g(-1) and 0.266 Jg(-1).K-1, respectively, by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

    Investigation of Hydrogen Diffusion Profile of Different Metallic Materials for a Better Understanding of Hydrogen Embrittlement
    (Gazi Univ, 2023-12-01) Kapci, Mehmet Fazil; Bal, Burak
    In this study, hydrogen diffusion profiles of different metallic materials were investigated. To model hydrogen diffusion, 1D and 2D mass diffusion models were prepared in MATLAB. Iron, nickel and titanium were selected as a material of choice to represent body-centered cubic, facecentered cubic, and hexagonal closed paced crystal structures, respectively. In addition, hydrogen back diffusion profiles were also modeled after certain baking times. Current results reveal that hydrogen diffusion depth depends on the microstructure, energy barrier model, temperature, and charging time. In addition, baking can help for back diffusion of hydrogen and can be utilized as hydrogen embrittlement prevention method. Since hydrogen diffusion is very crucial step to understand and evaluate hydrogen embrittlement, current set of results constitutes an important guideline for hydrogen diffusion calculations and ideal baking time for hydrogen back diffusion for different materials. Furthermore, these results can be used to evaluate hydrogen content inside the material over expensive and hard to find experimental facilities such as, thermal desorption spectroscopy.

    High-Concentration Carbon Assists Plasticity-Driven Hydrogen Embrittlement in a Fe-High Mn Steel With a Relatively High Stacking Fault Energy
    (Elsevier Science SA, 2018-02) Tugluca, Ibrahim Burkay; Koyama, Motomichi; Bal, Burak; Canadinc, Demircan; Akiyama, Eiji; Tsuzaki, Kaneaki
    We investigated the effects of electrochemical hydrogen charging on the mechanical properties of a Fe-33Mn-1.1C austenitic steel with high carbon concentration and relatively high stacking fault energy. Hydrogen pre charging increased the yield strength and degraded the elongation and work-hardening capability. The increase in yield strength is a result of the solution hardening of hydrogen. A reduction in the cross-sectional area by subcrack formation is the primary factor causing reduction in work-hardening ability. Fracture modes were detected to be both intergranular and transgranular regionally. Neither intergranular nor transgranular cracking modes are related to deformation twinning or simple decohesion in contrast to conventional Fe-Mn-C twinning induced plasticity steels. The hydrogen-assisted crack initiation and subsequent propagation are attributed to plasticity-dominated mechanisms associated with strain localization. The occurrence of dynamic strain aging by the high carbon content and ease of cross slip owing to the high stacking fault energy can cause strain/damage localization, which assists hydrogen embrittlement associated with the hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity mechanism.

    Effect of Construction and Demolition Waste on the Long-Term Geo-Environmental Behaviour of Cemented Paste Backfill
    (Springer, 2021-05-05) Yilmaz, T.; Ercikdi, B.
    The construction and demolition waste (CDW) could be used as backfill material to fill the voids created during the ore production in underground mining. However, there is a need to clarify the impact of CDW on groundwater pollution when it is used as backfill material in cemented paste backfill (CPB) of sulphide-rich tailings (S-rT). This study presents the influence of CDW on the long-term geo-environmental behaviour of CPB samples (CPBs) when used as replacement (10 wt.%) to S-rT. For this reason, the dynamic-tank leaching test was conducted on CPBs and pH, conductivity (Ec), sulphate (SO42-) and heavy metals (HMs) analyses were executed for leachates over 30-360 days of leaching period. The effects of mineralogy and microstructure on the geo-environmental behaviour of CPBs were also analysed via X-ray fluorescence (XRD) and mercury intrusion porosimeter (MIP). The utilisation of CDW in CPB mixtures was found to reduce the SO42- release (up to 13.89%), neutralise the acid generated and lower the Ec (up to 22.16%). Furthermore, the HMs releases (except As, Cu and Zn) were prevented (Ni and Cr) or reduced up to 92%, which is compatible with the improved CPB microstructure. Only the release of arsenic (As) exceeded the limit value for groundwater in CPB of CDW leachate. These findings suggest that not only the cost, strength and stability but also the impact on groundwater pollution should be considered when disposing of CDW as CPB material in underground voids.

    Effect of Characteristics of Natural Zeolites on Their Geopolymerization
    (Elsevier, 2021-12) Ozen, Sevgi; Uzal, Burak
    The properties of clinoptilolite-based geopolymers are investigated with a focus on the parameters affecting the reactivity of clinoptilolite in a geopolymer binder. A complete characterization of raw materials was carried out as well as a determination of the mineralogical composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of geopolymers. The results of the investigation show that of the investigated materials, geopolymer made with clinoptilolite-bearing tuff from Bayburt has the highest compressive strength. The chemical and mineralogical characteristics of a raw material are important parameters that potentially control the geopolymeric reaction, whereas physical properties (particle size and BET specific surface area) are mainly influential at early stages of geopolymerization. Geopolymeric gel was found to be the main reaction product through characterization by XRD and SEM analysis. The geopolymer produced with the raw material from Bayburt had a narrow range of Si/Al ratios and possessed a geopolymer binder structure with an advanced nature. Lastly, in addition to clinoptilolite, feldspar has an additional effect on the geopolymeric reaction and enhances the process, especially at later ages.

    A New Parameter Influencing the Reaction Kinetics and Properties of Fly Ash Based Geopolymers: A Pre-Rest Period Before Heat Curing
    (Elsevier, 2021-03) Durak, Ugur; Ilkentapar, Serhan; Karahan, Okan; Uzal, Burak; Atis, Cengiz Duran
    In this study, the influence of a pre-rest period before heat curing (as a new parameter), on the physical properties, flexural and compressive strength, and microstructure of geopolymer mortars and pastes produced with alkali activation of fly ash were investigated. In this context, geopolymer mortar and paste samples were prepared and pre-rested under laboratory conditions for 0, 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days before heat curing. After the pre-rest period, the samples were subjected to heat curing at 75 degrees C in an oven, for 2 days. Mortar and paste samples exposed to a pre-rest period while in the fresh state before heat curing were compared with control samples without pre-resting. Water absorption, porosity, specific gravity, capillarity, flexural strength, compressive strength, and abrasion resistance tests were conducted on the geopolymer mortar samples. A reaction kinetics study using an isothermal calorimeter, XRD, and SEM analyses were performed on the geopolymer paste samples for microstructural investigations. Based on the results obtained, it was observed that the mechanical strength of the samples subjected to the pre-rest period before heat curing increased considerably compared to the reference (without pre-resting) samples. In addition, because of pre-resting, the capillarity coefficient, water permeability, and porosity of the samples decreased compared to the reference samples, and it was concluded that pre-resting improves durability-related properties. Moreover, the reaction kinetics and SEM analysis results, supporting the above findings, showed that a pre-resting period increases the geopolymeric reaction products and causes a denser microstructure.

    A Detailed Investigation of the Effect of Hydrogen on the Mechanical Response and Microstructure of Al 7075 Alloy Under Medium Strain Rate Impact Loading
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-09) Bal, Burak; Okdem, Bilge; Bayram, Ferdi Caner; Aydin, Murat
    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.
