A combinatorial study was carried out for hydrogen storage alloys which involve processes similar to those normally used in their fabrication. The study utilized a single sample of combined elemental (or compound) powders which were milled and consolidated into a bulk form and subsequently deformed to heavy strains. Material library was obtained in a post annealing treatment carried out at elevated temperatures which brings about solid state reactions between the powders yielding equilibrium phases in the respective alloy system. A sample comprising the material library was then pulverized and screened for hydrogen storage composition. X-ray diffraction was used as a screening tool, the sample having been examined both in as-processed and hydrogenated state. The method was successfully applied to Mg-Ni, and Mg-Ni-Ti yielding the well known Mg2Ni as the storage composition. It is concluded that partitioning of the alloy system into regions of similar solidus temperature would be required to enrich the material library.

Combinatorial search for hydrogen storage alloys: Mg-Ni and Mg-Ni-Ti Olmez, Rabia; Cakmak, Gulhan; Öztürk, Tayfur (2010-11-01) A combinatorial study was carried out for hydrogen storage alloys involving processes similar to those normally used in their fabrication. The study utilized a single sample of combined elemental (or compound) powders which were milled and consolidated into a bulk form and subsequently deformed to heavy strains. The mixture was then subjected to a post annealing treatment, which brings about solid state reactions between the powders, yielding equilibrium phases in the respective alloy system. A sample, comp...
Microwave sintering and characterization of alumina and alumina matrix ceramic nanocomposites Kayıplar, Burcu; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2010) Efficiency of microwave heating on the sintering of ceramic materials has been investigated in comparison to conventional processing. Monolithic alumina with or without sintering additives such as MgO, CaO, Y2O3 were fabricated by both conventional and microwave sintering at temperatures ranging from 1000°C to 1600°C with a constant soaking time of 1 hour. Based on the densification results on monolithic alumina, nanometer-sized SiC or stabilized ZrO2 particle-dispersed alumina matrix ceramic nanocomposites...
Isochronal hydrogenation of textured magnesium/palladium thin films Özgit, Çağla; Öztürk, Tayfur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2009) Pure and palladium‐covered 350 nm thick magnesium thin films were deposited on glass substrates via thermal evaporation. In the as‐deposited state, films were highly textured with Mg (001) parallel to the substrate. Hydrogen loading experiments were carried out in two different conditions; namely isothermal and isochronal. Hydrogenation behaviors of the thin films were followed by twopoint probe electrical resistance and optical transmittance measurements, as well as x‐ray diffraction studies. Isothermal hy...
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...
Investigations on bulk glass forming ability of titanium based multicomponent alloys Süer, Sıla; Mekhrabov, Amdulla O.; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008) 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-...
