Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Effect of Pre-Rolling Temperature on the Interfacial Properties and Formability of Steel-Steel Bilayer Sheet in Single Point Incremental Forming(Sage Publications Ltd, 2021) Hassan, Malik; Hussain, Ghulam; Ali, Aaqib; Ilyas, Muhammad; Malik, Sohail; Khan, Wasim A.; Bal, BurakThe aim of this research was to investigate the effect of pre-rolling temperature on the interfacial properties in delamination modes 1 and 2; and formability in Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) of Steel-Steel (St-St) bilayer sheet prepared by roll bonding process. The roll bonding process was performed at three pre-rolling temperatures, 700 degrees C, 800 degrees C, and 950 degrees C, with a constant thickness reduction ratio of 58%. The bond strength and critical strain energy release rate (CSERR) were measured to characterize the interface of St-St bilayer sheet. T-peel test for mode 1 and tensile shear test for mode 2 were conducted to determine the interfacial properties. The formability of St-St bilayer sheet in SPIF was measured in terms of maximum wall angle. The results showed that the increase in pre-rolling temperature from 700 degrees C to 950 degrees C enhanced the bond strength and CSERR, in both mode 1 and 2. The enhancement in bond strength with an increase in pre-rolling temperature was 149.5% and 203% in mode 1 and 2, respectively. However, the increase in CSERR in mode 1 and 2 was 115% and 367%, respectively. The formability of St-St bilayer sheet also showed an increasing trend with an increase in pre-rolling temperature. Moreover, a consistent relation between formability and interfacial parameters was observed. It was also found that to successively deform the bilayer sheet into the desired shape, it is necessary for the sheet to be heated above the critical temperature during fabrication to facilitate good bonding between two sheets.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 15Lateral 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, ChristianA 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.Doctoral Thesis Yapay Zeka Destekli Shot Peening Prosesinin Optimizasyonu ve İkincil Proseslerin SLM ile Üretilen AlSi10Mg Alaşımının Hidrojen Kırılganlık Direnci ve Mekanik Performansı Üzerindeki Etkilerinin İncelenmesi(2025) Karaveli, Kadir Kaan; Bal, BurakBu tez, Seçici Lazer Ergitme (SLM) yöntemiyle üretilen AlSi10Mg alaşımlarında bilyalı dövme işlemlerinin optimizasyonunu ve hidrojen gevrekliğinin azaltılmasını araştırmaktadır.

Atomic simulations were adopted to investigate the interaction between dislocations and hydrogen atoms, where the realistic hydrogen distribution in the vicinity of the dislocation core was emulated from the Grand Canonical Monte Carlo computations. The depinning of edge dislocations in alpha-Fe at different temperatures and hydrogen concentrations was then studied using Molecular Dynamics simulations. The results revealed that an increase in bulk hydrogen concentration increases the flow stress due to the pinning effect of solute hydrogen. The depinning stress was found to decrease due to the thermal activation of the edge dislocation at higher temperatures. In addition, prediction of the obtained results was performed by an elastic model that can correlate the bulk hydrogen concentration to depinning stress.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 32A 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) Bal, Burak; Okdem, Bilge; Bayram, Ferdi Caner; Aydin, MuratEffects 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.

X.Metal hydride based thermal energy storage system is regarded as a promising method due to its good reversibility, low cost, and no by-product. Multi-phase heat exchange has much higher heat transfer coefficient than single-phase fluid heat exchange, thus facilitating the steam generation. In this study, a two-dimensional model of the metal hydride reactor using multi-phase heat exchange is proposed to estimate the performance and its feasibility of application in the concentrated solar power system. The results show that the velocity of the heat transfer fluid should match well with the thermal conductivity of the metal hydride bed to maintain the heat flux at a relatively constant value. The match of thermal conductivity of 3 or 5 W/(m·K) and fluid velocity of 0.0050 m/s results in the heat flux up to about 19 kW/m2, which is increased by 3 orders of magnitude than single-phase heat exchange. This study helps to facilitate the widespread application of metal hydride based thermal energy storage system in the concentrated solar power system. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Research Project Farklı Mikroyapısal Değişkenlerin Yüksek Manganlı Fe-%33Mn Çeliğinin Pekleşme Davranışına Etkilerinin Araştırılması(TUBİTAK, 2019) Bal, Burakİleri yüksek mukavemetli çelikler sahip olmuş oldukları yüksek mukavemet, yüksek süneklik ve_x000D_ yüksek pekleşme kabiliyeti gibi üstün özellikler sayesinde otomotiv, demiryolu, savunma sanayi_x000D_ uygulamalarında ve yapı endüstrisi gibi pek çok farklı alanda tercih edilmektedir. Bu projede yeni_x000D_ nesil yüksek mukavemetli çelikler sınıfından olan yüksek manganlı çeliklerin pekleşme_x000D_ davranışına etki eden farklı mikroyapısal değişkenlerin etkisi kristal plastisite modellemesi_x000D_ yoluyla araştırılmıştır. Öncelikle östenitik Fe-33Mn çeliğinin 1x10-4 s_x000D_ -1 gerinim hızındaki malzeme_x000D_ davranışının, tane sayısı gibi faktörleri girdi olarak kullanarak kristal plastisite modellemesi_x000D_ yapılmıştır ve pekleşme sabitleri bulunmuştur. Daha sonra bulunan pekleşme sabitleri sabit_x000D_ tutularak, malzeme dokusu, hız gradyanı, gerinim artışı ve etkileşim tensörü cinsi gibi tek bir_x000D_ mikroyapısal girdi değiştirilerek bu girdilerin malzemenin toplam pekleşme davranışına etkisi_x000D_ açığa çıkarılmıştır. Spesifik olarak, proje önerisinin üzerine konularak farklı karbon_x000D_ konsantrasyonlarının pekleşme sabitlerine olan etkisi de hesaplanmıştır. Bahsi geçen çeliğin_x000D_ oda sıcaklığında ve düşük gerinim hızındaki malzeme davranışı proje yürütücüsünün daha_x000D_ önceki çalışmalarında çekme testi yardımı ile makro ölçekte gözlemlenmiştir. Fe-33Mn çeliğinin_x000D_ seçilme nedeni, yüksek mangalı östenitik çeliklerinin sahip olduğu çok yüksek pekleşme_x000D_ kapasitesi ile birlikte yüksek süneklik değerleri ve aşınma direnci sayesinde uzay-havacılık,_x000D_ otomotiv, savunma sanayi gibi öncül sektörlerde yer alması ve önümüzdeki yıllarda çok daha_x000D_ fazla miktarda yer alacağına inanılmasıdır. Bu konunun seçilme nedeni ise, bugüne kadar_x000D_ yapılan kristal plastisite çalışmalarında deneysel davranışı modelleyebilmek için genelde tek tip_x000D_ malzeme dokusu, hız gradyanı, gerinim artışı ve etkileşim tensörü kullanılmıştır. Bu doğru bir_x000D_ yaklaşım olmasına rağmen bu girdilerin toplam malzeme pekleşme davranışına etkisi_x000D_ bilinmemektedir. Bu kapsamda kristal plastisite modellemeleri Visco-Plastic Self-Consistent_x000D_ (VPSC) algoritması yardımı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Fe-33Mn çeliğinin düşük gerinim hızındaki tek_x000D_ eksenli deformasyon davranışı voce tipi pekleşme teorisi ile modellenmiştir ve bulunan Voce_x000D_ parametreleri bütün simülasyonlarda aynı kalmıştır. Böylelikle değişik mikroyapısal değişkenlerin_x000D_ Fe-33Mn çeliğinin pekleşme davranışına etkileri aynı pekleşme teorisi ile açığa çıkarılmıştır.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 23Strain Rate and Hydrogen Effects on Crack Growth From a Notch in a Fe-High Steel Containing 1.1 Wt% Solute Carbon(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020) Najam, Hina; Koyama, Motomichi; Bal, Burak; Akiyama, Eiji; Tsuzaki, KaneakiEffects of strain rate and hydrogen on crack propagation from a notch were investigated using a Fe-33Mn-1.1C steel by tension tests conducted at a cross head displacement speeds of 10(-2) and 10(-4) mm/s. Decreasing cross head displacement speed reduced the elongation by promoting intergranular crack initiation at the notch tip, whereas the crack propagation path was unaffected by the strain rate. Intergranular cracking in the studied steel was mainly caused by plasticity-driven mechanism of dynamic strain aging (DSA) and plasticity-driven damage along grain boundaries. With the introduction of hydrogen, decrease in yield strength due to cracking at the notch tip before yielding as well as reduction in elongation were observed. Coexistence of several hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms, such as hydrogen enhanced decohesion (HEDE) and hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity (HELP) were observed at and further away from the notch tip resulting in hydrogen assisted intergranular fracture and cracking which was the key reason behind the ductility reduction.

B.; Canadinc, D.; Gerstein, G.; Bal, B.; Maier, H. J.This paper focuses on the mechanical properties and fracture behavior of newly developed body-centered-cubic structured TiTaHfNb, TiTaHfNbZr and TiTaHfMoZr high entropy alloys (HEAs) under impact loading as part of an effort to evaluate their potential utility as implant materials. The experimental findings showed all three Ti based HEAs have lower Young's modulus as compared to the conventionally used implant materials. Fractography analysis revealed that the TiTaHfNb HEA demonstrated significant ductility with the highest energy absorption capacity, while the TiTaHfNbZr and the TiTaHfMoZr alloys exhibited mixed mode fracture with relatively low ductility. Specifically, the reduction of ductility and energy absorption capacity under impact loading was attributed to the addition of Zr and Mo into Ti-based HEA system, which facilitates formation of additional dislocations in the microstructure due to increased lattice distortion. The current findings demonstrate that, from a mechanical point of view, the TiTaHfNb HEA could be considered as an alternative implant material for applications demanding high wear and corrosion resistance, such as hip or knee implants, and thus, warrant further investigation of the biomedical performance of this alloy.YArticle Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 16Lowering Strain Rate Simultaneously Enhances Carbon- and Hydrogen-Induced Mechanical Degradation in an Fe-33Mn Steel(Springer, 2019) Tugluca, Ibrahim Burkay; Koyama, Motomichi; Shimomura, Yusaku; Bal, Burak; Canadinc, Demircan; Akiyama, Eiji; Tsuzaki, KaneakiWe investigated the strain rate dependency of the hydrogen-induced mechanical degradation of Fe-33Mn-1.1C steel at 303K within the strain rate range of 10(-2) to 10(-5)s(-1). In the presence of hydrogen, lowering the strain rate monotonically decreased the work hardening rate, elongation, and tensile strength and increased the yield strength. Lowering the strain rate simultaneously enhanced the plasticity-related effects of hydrogen and carbon, leading to the observed degradation of the ductility.
