In the present study, the powder metallurgy was evaluated as a technique to produce high performance Al – 8Fe – 1.7V – 7.9Si (wt%) alloys for elevated temperature applications and the role of powder particle size range and extrusion ratio in the microstructural and mechanical properties of the extruded alloys was investigated. For this purpose, an air atomization method was employed to produce powders of the high temperature alloy and after that the produced powders were sieved and cold compacted. The compacted billets were subsequently hot extruded at 450 – 480 °C. Five selected ranges of powders which were different in particle size (−2000+212 μm, −212+150 μm, −150+106 μm, −106+90 μm, and −90 μm) and three different extrusion ratios (144:1, 81:1, and 26:1) were used in this study. In the first part of the thesis, microstructure and thermal stability of as – air atomized powders were described. α – Al matrix and α – Al13(Fe, V)3Si phases were characterized in all rapidly solidified powders by XRD. The fraction of the intermetallic phases was reduced as the powder particle size increased. DTA analysis revealed an exothermic reaction at 581 °C in all alloy powders of different size fractions. In the second part of the study, the effect of powder particle size and extrusion ratio on microstructural and mechanical properties (at different temperatures) of the extruded alloys was investigated. The results showed that decrease in powder particle size and increase in extrusion ratio refined the microstructure and improved the mechanical properties. It was revealed that the effect of powder size was more evident than that of extrusion ratio. Remarkable increases in mechanical properties (e.g. 60.7% increase in ultimate tensile strength at 250 °C) were observed as a result of rapid solidification process (atomization) and hot extrusion.

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...
Design and production of a dissimilar channel angular pressing system to obtain high strength aluminum alloy sheets
Uzunçakmak, Göktürk Emre; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2009)
The aim of this thesis work is to design and manufacture a Dissimilar Channel Angular Pressing (DCAP) system for severe plastic deformation of aluminum alloy sheets in order to obtain ultra-fine grained structure. First, a DCAP system was designed by Finite Element Analysis and constructed after various optimization trials. Next, 6061-T0 aluminum alloy plates were severely deformed by various DCAP passes through the system. The samples were characterized by metallography, X-ray diffraction, tension and hard...
Production and characterization of alumina fiber reinforced squeeze cast aluminum alloy matrix composites
Keleş, Özgür; Kalkanlı, Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of different levels of Saffil alumina fiber addition, magnesium content in aluminum alloy matrix and casting temperature on the mechanical behavior, microstructure and physical properties of short fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites. The main alloying element silicon was kept constant at 10 wt%. Magnesium contents were selected as 0.3 wt% and 1 wt%. Saffil alumina fiber preforms varied from 10 to 30 vol%. The casting temperatures were fixed...
Production of coal crusher hammer heads by bi-metal casting
Kırma, Turgut; Selçuk, Ekrem; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008)
In this study, by considering different mechanical properties such as wear resistance and toughness of two different metal alloys in design and production stages, bi-metal casting technique was used for producing composite material which will be a solution for the cracking and wear problem in coal crushing hammer heads. The failure analysis of the classical hammer heads which are made from Hadfield steels (austenitic steel) showed that there are crack formations through austenitic grains and also the phase ...
Processing and assessment of aluminum ceramic fiber reinforced aluminum metal matrix composite parts for automotive and defense applications
Türkyılmaz, Gökhan; Kalkanlı, Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2009)
The aim of this study was to produce partially reinforced aluminum metal matrix composite components by insertion casting technique and to determine the effects of silicon content, fiber vol% and infiltration temperature on the mechanical properties of inserts, which were the local reinforcement parts of the components. Silicon content of alloys was selected as 7 wt% and 10 wt%. The reinforcement material, i.e. Saffil fiber preforms, had three different fiber vol% of 20, 25 and 30 vol% respectively. The inf...
