This study has focused on the influence of size and content of SiC particle incorporation on the wetting behavior of the Ticusil brazing filler alloy and on its brazing performance in C/SiC composite/Ti6Al4V alloy joints. The effect of the size and content of additive SiC particles on the variation of molten brazing filler alloy contact angle was recorded at various brazing time and temperatures. Moreover, the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of the additive containing C/SiC composite/Ti6Al4V alloy joints produced by the brazing method were investigated. The contact angles in both brazing filler alloys containing nano- and micro-sized SiC particles exhibited a sudden decrease with time during isothermal holding as observed in as-received brazing filler alloys. As the quantity of the SiC particles increased in the brazing alloy, the recorded contact angle values including the final, stable contact angle increased, while the time for the drastic contact angle change also increased remarkably. Compared to as-received counterparts, the addition of 2 wt.% nano-sized SiC and 1 wt.% micro-sized SiC particles improved the shear strength of the joints by 35 and 8%, respectively. Although the recorded contact angle values were close to each other in brazing alloys containing SiC particles with different sizes (37 and 42 degrees for 1 wt.% micro-sized and 2 wt.% nano-sized additions), higher increment was achieved in the mechanical performance of the joints with nano-sized SiC additive due to more homogeneous reinforcement effect of the nanoparticles. The results indicated that the optimum brazing filler alloy contact angle for the highest shear strength is similar to 40 degrees for both nano- and micron-sized additive containing Ticusil filler alloy.

Sarıtürk, Doğuhan; Kalay, Yunus Eren (2023-01-01)
The liquid and the amorphous Al90Sm10 marginal metallic glassy alloy are investigated using Molecular Dynamics. The Al90Sm10 system consisting of 32,000 atoms is simulated under the constant number of atoms, pressure, and temperature (NPT) ensemble where the temperature and pressure are controlled via Nose–Hoover thermostat and barostat, respectively. The corresponding liquid model is initially held at 2300 K; then, the liquid is continuously cooled down to 300 K with a constant cooling rate of 1010 Ks−1, d...

A density functional theory study of oxidation of benzene to phenol by N2O on Fe- and Co-ZSM-5 clusters
Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; Önal, Işık (2009-06-01)
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out in the study of oxidation of benzene to phenol by N2O on relaxed [(SiH3)(4)AlO4M] (where M=Fe, Co) cluster models representing Fe- and Co-ZSM-5 surfaces. The catalytic cycle steps are completed for both Fe-ZSM-5 and Co-ZSM-5 clusters. The general trend of the results that were obtained in terms of activation barriers for the Fe-ZSM-5 cluster is in agreement with the experimental and theoretical literature. It was observed that the phenol formatio...
