TiB2 particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites have been the subject of several investigations. An M.Sc. thesis on production of TiB2 reinforced aluminum composites by reaction between liquid aluminum and B2O3 and TiO2 dissolved in cryolite has been completed in this Department in 2005. This study is a continuation of the mentioned M.Sc.study. Composition of the starting cryolite-B2O3-TiO2 system, temperature and time were used as experimental variables. The resulting composite was squeeze cast and its microstructure was examined. Mechanical properties of the produced composite were measured and how mechanical properties of the composite vary with TiB2 content of the composite was determined.

Processing and characterization of carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide (c/c-sic) matrix composites Tülbez, Simge; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi; Esen, Ziya; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2015) The current study was undertaken to investigate the production and characterization of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/C-SiC) Matrix Composites. Liquid silicon infiltration (LSI) method was utilized to produce the C/C-SiC composites. Processing of these composites via LSI process composed of three main stages. CFRP production, pyrolysis and liquid silicon infiltration. Each production stage has an important effect on the efficiency of the LSI process, therefore present study investigates the effe...
Fabrication of silicon nanowires by electroless etching and investigation of their photovoltaic applications Özdemir, Barış; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Turan, Raşit; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2011) Silicon is the most important semiconducting material for optoelectronics owing to its suitable and tunable physical properties. Even though there are several alternatives, silicon based solar cells are still the most widely produced and commercially feasible system. Extensive efforts have been spent in order to increase the efficiency and decrease the cost of these systems. The studies that do not focus on replacement of the semiconducting material, mostly concentrate on the developments that could be brou...
Heat damage assessment of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites by diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform spectroscopy Dara, İlksen Hilal; Ankara, Alpay; Akovalı, Güneri; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2002) Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy was used to assess the effects of heat damage on carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites in this thesis study. Moisture saturated carbon-epoxy laminates were heat damaged above their upper service temperature. Loss of matrix dominated mechanical properties due to heat exposure was investigated in laboratory environmental testing conditions using mechanical tests, ultrasonic C-scanning and DRIFT spectroscopy. DRIFT spectroscopy was...
Numerical investigation of stiffened composite panel into buckling and post buckling under combined loading Akay, Erkan; Yaman, Yavuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2015) This thesis presents the investigation of buckling and post buckling behaviour of stiffened thin walled laminated composite aerospace structures subjected to combined in-plane axial and shear loadings. Due to the fact that the state of stress developing especially in the post-buckling stage is quite complicated under the combined loading, the necessary computational model is usually based on Finite Element Modelling (FEM). In this study, after verifying the FEM methodology and completing the sensitivity stu...
Anodization of titanium alloys for orthopedic applications İzmir, Merve; Ercan, Batur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2018) In recent years, nanostructured oxide films on titanium alloy surfaces have gained significant interest due to their electrical, catalytic and biological properties, leading to an extensive effort to engineer nanostructured oxide films on titanium and titanium alloy surfaces. In literature, there is a variety of different approaches to fabricate nanostructured oxide films, including hydrothermal treatment, sol-gel synthesis, physical vapor deposition, electrodeposition, and etc. Among these methods, electro...
