The aim of this study is to investigate the bulk glass forming ability (BGFA) of Ti-based alloy systems. These investigations were carried out in two main parts that are complementary to each other: theoretical and experimental. For theoretical studies, which are based on electronic theory of alloys in pseudopotential approximation, Ti-Zr, Ti-Co and Ti-Cu alloys were chosen as the binary systems. Alloying element additions were performed to each binary for the investigation of the BGFA of multicomponent Ti-based alloys. Among the three studied binary systems, Ti-Cu was found to exhibit better BGFA, and Mn, Al and Ni elements were found to be suitable for improving the BGFA of Ti-Cu binary alloy system. BGFA of Ti-Cu binary and Ti-Cu-(Mn, Al, Ni) multicomponent alloys were investigated with the experimental studies that were carried out with performing arc melting and centrifugal casting operations. The characterizations of these alloys were done with scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. Ti60Cu35Mn5, Ti60Cu35Al5 and Ti60Cu35Ni5 alloys were produced and characterized as examples for ternary systems. Among them, Ti60Cu35Mn5 system was found to have better indications regarding to BGFA. Therefore, it was chosen as the main composition and multicomponent alloys of Ti59Cu35Mn5Al1, Ti59Cu35Mn5Ni1 and Ti58Cu35Mn5Al1Ni1 were synthesized and characterized.

Experimental investigation of residual stresses introduced via shot peening and their effect on fatigue life of ball bearings Küçükyılmaz, Ali; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2010) In this study, residual stresses introduced via application of shot peening on the raceways of bearing rings and their effect on the fatigue life was investigated experimentally. For improvement of residual compressive stress state, shot peening operation with different parameters was utilized. Residual stress measurements were conducted via X-ray diffraction technique. Optimization of residual stress state during the production of ball bearings is the main target of this study. Process parameters for shot ...
Nano-scale phase separation and glass forming ability of iron-boron based metallic glasses Aykol, Muratahan; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008) This study is pertinent to setting a connection between glass forming ability (GFA) and topology of Fe-B based metallic glasses by combining intimate investigations on spatial atomic arrangements conducted via solid computer simulations with experimentations on high GFA bulk metallic glasses. In order to construct a theoretical framework, the nano-scale phase separation encountered in metallic glasses is investigated for amorphous Fe80B20 and Fe83B17 alloys via Monte Carlo equilibration and reverse Monte Ca...
Characterization of ultra-fine grained steel samples produced by high pressure torsion via magnetic barkhausen noise analysis Bayramoğlu, Sadık; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2009) High Pressure Torsion (HPT) is one of the most widely used severe plastic deformation methods which enable to obtain a crack free ultra-fine grained bulk material with improved mechanical properties like increased strength and toughness. In the process, a disc shaped sample is pressed between two anvils and deformed via surface friction forces by rotating one of the anvils. The aim of this study is to nondestructively characterize the variations in the deformation uniformity of the severely deformed steel d...
An ab initio surface study of FeTi for hydrogen storage applications Izanlou, Afshin; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2009) In this study, the effect of surface crystallography on hydrogen molecule adsorption properties on FeTi surfaces is presented. Furthermore, the substitutional adsorption of 3d-transition metals on (001), (110) and (111) surfaces of FeTi is studied. Using ab initio pseudopotential methods, the adsorption energies of hydrogen and 3d-transition metals are calculated. In substitutional adsorption of 3d-transition metals, Fe-terminated (111) and Ti-terminated (001) surfaces, are found to express the lowest adsor...
Effect of calcium oxide addition on carbothermic formation of hexagonal boron nitride Özkenter, Ali Arda; Sevinç, Naci; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2009) Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) formation by carbothermic reduction of B2O3 under nitrogen atmosphere at 1500°C and effect of CaO addition into the initial B2O3 – active C mixture were investigated during this study. Reaction products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and quantitative chemical analysis. Main aim of this study was to investigate the presence of a second reaction mechanism that catalytically affects h-BN formation during CaO or CaCO3 addition in...
