In Diesel engine blocks properties such as tensile strength, heat conductivity, sound damping, engine vibration and noise are strongly influenced by graphite shape and volume percent in the matrix microstructure. In this study, the engine blocks were produced at ELBA Basınçlı Döküm Odöksan Cast iron foundry in Osmaneli Turkey by performing casting into furan resin sand and preparing cast iron liquid alloy in induction furnace that were treated with Mg by using ladle method. The main purpose of this study is to achive 0 – 25% volume nodularity and remaining is compacted graphite in the produced engine blocks. The shape and volume percent of graphite particles were characterized by an image analyze system. In the first part of this work, after the diesel engine blocks were produced at ELBA Basınçlı Döküm Odöksan Cast iron foundry in Osmaneli Turkey, the blocks were cut and samples were obtained from 14 different thicknesses of diesel engine blocks. Afterwards, the samples were examined under optical microscope, Soif XJP-6A. The nodularity and compacted graphite values were obtained numerically with the help of Materials Plus image analyzer systems, which is attached to the optical microscope. v In the second part of the study, the diesel engine blocks which are produced at Odöksan were examined by ultrasonic test that was done by using USM 35 flaw detector test machine. Solidification – time and temperature – time simulations were also done by using NovaCast NovaFlow simulation code. Finally mathematical formulas for 13 different thickness of diesel engine blocks were obtained by using excel linest code. The compacted graphite volume percent observed at different sections of the diesel engine blocks were found to be a function of cooling rate and chemical composition. Best results were obtained when chemical Mg/S ratio was approximately 1 and C.E.V. was between 4.40 – 4.50.

Performance analysis of a compression ignition internal combustion engine using superheated ethanol vapor Aksu, Çağdaş; Bayka, Ahmet Demir; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) The aim of this study is to experimentally measure performance characteristics of a compression ignition (CI) internal combustion engine using superheated ethanol vapor. The engine is a 1.3L inline 4 cylinder direct injection (DI) turbocharged compression ignition (CI) engine. While the engine will be fed with superheated ethanol as homogeneous fuel-air mixture through intake manifold, the amount of diesel fuel that the engine requires to run at idle will also be supplied in order to initiate combustion.

Prediction of torque and inductance displacement characteristics of asymmetrically slotted variable-reluctance motors using a simplified model for numerical field solution Ertan, Hulusi Bülent (1999-09-01) For prediction of static and dynamic performance of doubly-salient motors, it is essential to know their flux linkage-position-excitation characteristics and also the static torque characteristics. At the design stage determination of these characteristics presents difficulties because of highly nonlinear behavior of the magnetic circuit. It is possible to use numerical field solution of the complete motor to obtain this information. This, however, requires expertise on a professional program and may be exp...
Production and development of aluminide coatings by chemical vapor deposition on nickel based superalloys for turbine engine applications Ertürk, Umutcan; İmer, Muhsine Bilge; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2017) Diffusion coatings including aluminide coatings are utilized to improve the high temperature oxidation and corrosion resistance of turbine blades. Through the advancement in the aluminizing methods, higher purity and more homogeneously distributed coatings have been realized. The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is the most advanced technique utilized for aluminizing process. The versatility of CVD provides a large possibility to control process variables such as temperature, pressure, gas flows and ratios, ...
Dizel partikül filtre rejenerasyonu ve motor yağının seyrelmesi Balkan, Tuna; Akkök, Metin; Konukseven, İlhan (null; 2014-05-05) Dizel motorlarda partikül filtresi, Euro4 yasal zorunluluklarını yerine getirmek için kullanılır. Partikül filtresi yanma sonucu egzoz gazında oluşan partikül madde, azotoksitler (NO2), hidrokarbonlar (HC) ve karbonmonoksitler (CO) gibi önemli kirletici maddeleri azaltır. Filtrede biriken kül partiküller belli periyodlarda egzoz gazı sıcaklığının 5500C üzerine çıkarılması ile yakılırlar. Bu işleme “Yenileme” (Rejenerasyon) denir. Bu çalışmada Euro-4 partikül filtreli dizel araçlarda rejenerasyonun sık sık k...
Effect of cold rolling and annealing parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of dual phase steels Poyraz, Okan; Ögel, Bilgehan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020) This study consists of change in the microstructure and mechanical properties of the 0.14C-1.98Mn steel with different cold rolling ratios, annealing temperature and annealing time. The starting sheet metal is 2.8mm thick and have a microstructure of ferrite-pearlite in as-received condition. Samples are cold rolled such that either 30%, 45% or 60% cold rolling is achieved. In order to see the change in microstructure below and in the intercritical temperatures, samples are annealed for 5 minutes or 10 minu...
