Akşit, Murat Özkan
The effect of physical, chemical and mineralogical properties on reducibility of iron containing raw materials were studied with the use of two pellets, one sinter and one lump iron ore sample provided by Erdemir integrated iron and steel works. Although Erdemir lump iron ore contained hematite, it was found to be less reducible than Erdemir sinter since porous structures are easier to reduce and in general sinters have a higher porosity as compared to lump ores. Experimental findings indicated that Erdemir pellet with a code B had the highest reducibility. On the other hand, the results of Erdemir samples were compared with those results obtained from the projects carried out in the Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Department of METU in 1980̕s. In mentioned projects, samples of various lump iron ores and a concentrate, pellet and sinter from Turkish sources and imported lump iron ores of CVRD from Brazil and ISCOR from the Republic of South Africa were tested. Within the context of this thesis, a mathematical model that would fit to the reduction kinetics was studied and the porous solid model was found to be the best for Erdemir samples.

The effect of magnisium to sulfur ratio on the graphite morphology of graphite cast iron produced at differrent section thicknesses
ELMABROUK, Omar; ERFAN, Osama M.; Kalkanlı, Ali (2011-09-18)
This paper is concerned with the investigation of the effect of magnesium to sulfur ratio on the graphite morphology and estimation of the ranges of this ratio use to produce graphite cast iron at different section sections. The main factors affecting shape of graphite cast iron are the metallurgical structures and the section thicknesses. Cast iron of different shapes of graphite particles directly affect its thermo-mechanical properties. The nodular shape of these graphite particles such as in ductile cas...
The effect of SN content and isothermal transformation temperature on the mechanical properties of austempered ductile cast iron
Özcan, Alper; Atala, Haluk; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2003)
In this study the effects of Sn content and isothermal transformation temperature on the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), elongation and hardness of austempered ductile cast iron (ADI) was investigated. To determine the possible effect of Sn on these properties the Sn content of standard GGG30, GGG40 and GGG50 materials were taken as reference, whose chemical compositions vary from 0,016 to 0,050% in terms of Sn. However the Sn content was increased to a maximum of 0,26% for investigating the effect of Sn o...
Microstructural characteristics of gas tungsten arc synthesised Fe-Cr-Si-Ccoating
Yılmaz, Osman; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit (2002-10-01)
The gas tungsten arc (GTA) method was used to synthesise Fe - Cr - Si - C alloy coatings, and processing effects on the coating were investigated experimentally. Coatings were developed on an AISI type 1040 steel substrate. Four different regions were obtained in the surface coating; and in these regions either a hypoeutectic or a hypereutectic microstructure was found. The hypoeutectic microstructure consisted of primary dendrites of austenite (gamma) phase and eutectic M7C3 (M = Cr,Fe) carbides. On the ot...
EVALUATION OF LOW GRADE IRON ORE DEPOSIT IN ERZINCAN-TURKEY FOR IRON ORE PELLET CONCENTRATE PRODUCTION
SİVRİKAYA, OSMAN; Arol, Ali İhsan (2012-01-01)
In this study the separation possibility of gangue minerals from a low grade magnetite ore with 45% Fe from an iron ore deposit located near Erzincan-Turkey was investigated. The iron ore deposit consists of mainly magnetite mineral. Hematite is the second iron oxide found in the deposit. The gangue minerals contain mainly SiO2 and Al2O3 impurities. The main object of the research is to investigate the production of a concentrate suitable for iron ore pellet production. The concentrate for pellet production...
Characterization of nanostructured magnetite thin films produced by sol-gel processing
Eken, Ali Erdem; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit (2009-06-01)
Nanocrystalline films of magnetite have been prepared by a novel sol-gel route in which, a solution of iron (III) nitrate dissolved in ethylene glycol was applied on glass substrates by spin coating. Coating solution showed Newtonian behaviour and viscosity was found as 0.0215 Pa.s. Annealing temperature was selected between 291 and 350 A degrees C by DTA analysis in order to obtain magnetite films. In-plane grazing angle XRD and TEM studies showed that magnetite phase was present upon annealing the films a...
