Amorphous and bulk amorphous metallic alloys are an intriguing class of structural materials and possess a range of interesting properties, including near theoretical strength, high hardness, extremely low damping characteristics, excellent wear properties, high corrosion resistance, low shrinkage during cooling and almost perfect as-cast surfaces with good potential for forming and shaping. In this study, new Ti-based bulk amorphous alloys are tried to be modeled and synthesized. For that purpose, electronic theory of alloys in the pseudo potential approximation was used as a tool for understanding the theory lying beneath the bulk glass forming ability (BGFA). The results from this approach were evaluated both separately and together with the other theories supposed by our colleagues. Glass forming parameters of ordering energy, ?HM, viscosity, mismatch entropy, Rc was calculated for various Ti-based binary and ternary and the change in these parameters in both cases was evaluated. The results of the theoretical calculations of glass forming parameters has shown good relation with the literature data that the predicted alloying elements, i.e. Mo, Hf, Zr, B, Fe, Sn, and Be, to increase GFA for Ti2Ni binary system were generally used in the production of Ti-based bulk amorphous alloys. In the second part of this thesis, new Ti-based compositions with high GFA were tried to be synthesized with light of these results and encouraging conclusions were drawn. The production of these alloys were made with centrifugal casting method which is relatively a new technique for producing such alloys and the characterization of these alloys were made with metallographic, X-ray and thermal means.

Bulk amorphous/nanocrystalline materials: structural amorphous steels / Yağmurlu, Bengi; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Mekhrabov, Amdulla O.; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2014) Although conventional steels with crystalline structures have been extensively utilized by industries, bulk amorphous steels (BASs) show great potential to supersede these crystalline steels for some critical structural and functional applications because of their unusual combinations of engineering properties: these include higher strength and hardness, better wear and corrosion resistance. Moreover, compared with most other bulk amorphous alloy systems such as Zr- and Pd-based bulk metallic glasses, BASs ...
Synthesis and characterization of bulk amorphous/nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials Karataş, Mediha Merve; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Mekhrabov, Amdulla O.; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2016) The aim of the study is to reach non-equilibrium cooling conditions and produce bulk glassy (Fe36Co36B19.2Si4.8Nb4)99.25Cu0.75 rod which has a good soft magnetic property and high electrical resistivity and to investigate its crystallization kinetics. The bulk metallic glass formation was achieved by arc melting and suction casting and it was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermal analysis techniques. After characterizations, by isochronal and isothermal differe...
Development of Nanostructured Metallic Glasses with High Toughness Bagheri Behboud, Ali; Özerinç, Sezer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-8) Metallic glasses are metallic alloys with disordered atomic structures and desirable mechanical properties such as high hardness, high elastic limits, and wear resistance. These properties make metallic glasses promising materials for wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and biocompatible coating applications. On the other hand, metallic glasses are brittle, which is a major disadvantage for their use in practice. This thesis study aimed to tackle this problem through the development of nanostructured metal...
Fabrication of SiO2-stacked diamond membranes and their characteristics for microelectromechanical applications Bayram, Barış (Elsevier BV, 2011-04-01) Diamond is a promising microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) material due to its high Young's Modulus and very large thermal conductivity. In this work, ultrananocrystalline diamond was stacked between silicon dioxide to form thermally-stable and robust membranes. These SiO2-stacked diamond layers were processed into MEMS-compatible membranes. For comparison, membranes composed of only SiO2 were fabricated as well. The structural characteristics of these membranes are compared and analyzed for membranes of ...
Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Multifunctional Ti Alloy: Gum Metal Elçin, Orkun; Mekhrabov, Amdulla O.; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat (null; 2018-10-27) A relatively new class of ȕ-phase having a body-centered cubic structure Ti alloy termed multifunctional titanium alloy (MFTA) or ‘Gum Metal’ with the composition of Ti-23Nb-07Ta-2Zr-O (mole %) has been shown to possess many interesting properties such as superplasticity at room temperature without extensive work hardening. In the heavily deformed state, it also possesses an ultra-low elastic modulus, ultra-high strength, large elasticity, and Elinvar and Invar properties. In this study, we have synthesized...
