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 microstructural evolution. These microstructural changes were investigated by the characterization studies of XRD, SEM and TEM analysis of the DCAPed samples indicating the subgrain formation, changes in the dislocation density and dislocation behaviors.

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-...
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 ...
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...
Mechanical and microstructural characterization of 6061 aluminum alloy strips severely deformed by Dissimilar Channel Angular Pressing
Tan, Euren; KİBAR, Alp Aykut; Gür, Cemil Hakan (Elsevier BV, 2011-04-01)
Dissimilar Channel Angular Pressing (DCAP) is a severe plastic deformation technique to improve the mechanical properties of flat products by producing ultrafine grains. In this study, the changes in the microstructure and mechanical properties of 6061 Al-alloy strips deformed by various numbers of DCAP passes were investigated. Some DCAPed samples were also held at 200 degrees C and 350 degrees C to investigate the effect of post-annealing. Mechanical properties were determined by hardness and tension test...
