This aim of this thesis is to examine the possibility of using Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) technique in characterizing the microstructures of quenched and tempered low alloy steels as well as annealed low carbon steels. To determine the average grain size by MBN, SAE 1010 steel consisting of dominantly ferrite was used. The specimens were slowly cooled in the furnace after austenitizing at different time and temperature variations. By metallographic examination the average ferrite grain size of specimens was determined. The magnetic parameters were measured by a commercial MBN system. With increasing ferrite grain size, the magnetic Barkhausen jumps caused by the microstructure were decreased due to the reduction in grain boundary density per unit volume. A clear relationship has been observed between average grain size and the magnetic Barkhausen noise signals. SAE 4140, 5140 and 1040 steels were used to characterize the microstructures of quenched and tempered specimens. After austenitizing and quenching identically, the specimens were tempered at various temperatures between 200oC and 600oC. Formation of the desired microstructures was ensured by metallographic examinations and hardness measurements. The results show that as tempering temperature increases the Barkhausen activity increases due to the enhancement of domain wall displacement with softening of the martensite. It has been shown that MBN is a powerful tool for evaluating the microstructures of martensitic and annealed steels.

Microstructural characterization of hypoeutectoid steels quenched from the Ae1 - Ae3 intercritical temperature range by magnetic barkhausen noise technique
Boyacıoğlu, Beril; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2006)
This thesis aims to examine the possibility of using Magnetic Barkhausen Noise technique in characterizing the ferritic-martensitic microstructure of hypoeutectoid steels quenched from the intercritical temperature range. For this purpose, rectangular specimens were prepared from SAE 1020, 1040 and 1060 steels. The specimens were heated at different temperatures within the intercritical temperature range and then quenched into water. Microstructures of the specimens were characterized by metallographic exam...
Characterization of dual phase steels by using magnetic barkhausen noise analysis
Kaplan, Mücahit; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2006)
The aim of this work is to nondestructively characterize the industrial dual phase (ferritic-martensitic) steels (DPS) by the Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) method. By quenching of AISI 8620 steel specimens having two different starting microstructures, from various intercritical annealing temperatures (ICAT) in the ferrite-austenite region, the microstructures consisting of different volume fractions of martensite and morphology have been obtained. The microstructures, strength properties and hardness val...
Investigation of the effect of orientation and heat treatment on the stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of 7050 aluminium alloy
Çevik, Gül; Doruk, Mustafa; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2004)
In the present work, the effect of variation in specimen orientation and heat treatment on the Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) susceptibility of 7050 aluminum alloy was investigated in 3,5% NaCl solution and under freely corroding conditions. For this purpose, Constant Extension Rate Tests (CERT) was performed on precracked Compact Tension (CT) specimens and the Direct Current Potential Drop technique was applied to measure the crack lengths. In addition to crack length versus time curves, the relationship ...
Characterization of magnetite thin films produced by sol-gel processing
Eken, Ali Erdem; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008)
Magnetite (Fe3O4) thin films were prepared by a sol-gel process in which, a solution of iron (III) nitrate dissolved in ethylene glycol was applied on glass substrates by spin coating. Xerogel films were obtained by drying the coated films at 110 °C. The films were sintered between 300 °C and 450 °C in order to observe the phases existing in the films at different temperatures. Coating solution showed Newtonian behaviour and viscosity was found as 0.0215 Pa.s. DTA analysis showed that, sintering temperature...
Determination of susceptibility to intergranular corrosion in AISI 304L and 316L type stainless steels by electrochemical reactivation method
Aydoğdu, Gülgün Hamide; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2004)
Austenitic stainless steels have a major problem during solution annealing or welding in the temperature range of 500-800 °C due to the formation of chromium carbide, which causes chromium depleted areas along grain boundaries. This means that the structure has become sensitized to intergranular corrosion. Susceptibility to intergranular corrosion can be determined by means of destructive acid tests or by nondestructive electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (EPR) tests. The EPR test, which provides q...
