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 disks. Two sets of low carbon steel samples were obtained by applying the unconstrained and constrained HPT process up to 6 turns. Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) method was used in order to evaluate the samples in a nondestructive manner via a commercial device. The results of the MBN measurements were verified with those of conventional methods such as; x-ray diffraction (XRD), metallographic examination and hardness measurements. The initial stages of HPT revealed the effects of conventional plastic deformation on MBN; however with further straining, grain size refinement prevailed and caused increase in MBN signals.

Investigation of the effect of dissimilar channel angular pressing method to the mechanical and microstuctural properties of 6061 aluminum alloy sheets
Kibar, Alp Aykut; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2010)
Dissimilar Channel Angular Pressing (DCAP) method is an effective Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) technique to improve the mechanical properties of sheets or strips by producing ultrafine grains. The aim of this study is to investigate the evolution of the microstructure and the improvement in mechanical properties of 6061 Al-alloy strips deformed by DCAP up to 5 passes. Mechanical properties such as hardness and strength have been observed to increase up to a certain strain level depending on the microstr...
Determination of susceptibility to intergranular corrosion of uns 31803 type duplex stainless steel by electrochemical reactivation technique
Arıkan, Mehmet Emin; Doruk, Mustafa; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008)
In the present work the effect of isothermal ageing treatment on the microstructure and on the localized corrosion resistance of a duplex stainless steel (DSS) was investigated. Specimens taken from a hot rolled cylindrical duplex stainless bar with 22% Cr grade were solution annealed at 1050°C and then sensitization heat treatments were conducted at 650, 725 and 800°C with duration ranging from 100 to 31622 min. The microstructural changes were examined by the light optical microscopy (LOM) and scanning el...
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 high performance al – fe – v – si alloys for elevated temperature applications
Sayılgan, Seda; Kalkanlı, Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2009)
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 compa...
Monitoring variation of surface residual stresses in the shot peened steel components by magnetic barkhausen noise method
Savaş, Serdar; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2010)
Shot peening is a cold-working process by which residual compressive stresses are being induced in the surface region to increase the fatigue strength and the resistance to stress-corrosion cracking. This study covers non-destructive measurement of surface residual stresses in the shot-peened steel components by a micro-magnetic technique, named as Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) method. For this purpose, various low alloy steel specimens were prepared by a controlled shot peening process with different int...
