In this study, the effect of different heat treatment processes on microstructural and mechanical properties of Distaloy-DH and Astaloy Mo (Fe-2Cu-1.5Mo) powders are investigated. Powder samples are sintered at 1120°C for 45 minutes in a sintering furnace under reducing atmosphere of: 10% H2 + 90% N2. After sintering, secondary heat treatments are performed on samples. Microstructural characterization of samples is done with optical and electron microscopy. Selective etching is utilized for determining the amount of bainite and martensite in samples. The Distaloy-DH samples yield approximately 1.9% less porosity than Astaloy Mo samples. In all specimens, pearlite, bainite and/or mixture of martensite and bainite phases are obtained based on the isothermal holding temperature or cooling rate from the austenite region. The study revealed that the specimens with martensitic and lower bainitic microstructure yield high TRS values with respect to either pearlitic or upper bainitic microstructures. Moreover, the lower bainitic structures yield similar or higher TRS values with respect to martensitic structures even at lower hardness values.

Effect of magnetic field and gamma irradiation on the electrical properties and structure of the Tl-based ceramic superconductors
Ozkan, H; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Kayed, T (IOP Publishing, 2000-02-01)
The voltage-current (V-I) characteristics, critical temperatures and the critical currents of Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 (Tl-2212) and Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 (Tl-2223) ceramic superconductors were studied in magnetic fields up to 80 mT after several gamma irradiations up to 100 MR. The effect of gamma irradiation on the structure of these materials has also been studied. The normal state resistance increases by 20-30% with gamma irradiation, most of the changes taking place in low gamma doses up to 10 MR. The critical temperat...
Effect of lithium doping on the properties of Tl-based superconductors
Kayed, TS; Ozkan, H; Hasanlı, Nızamı (IOP Publishing, 2001-09-01)
The effects of lithium doping on the formation and properties of the T1-based superconductors have been studied. Lithium atoms up to around 3 mol.% have been added to the oxides of nominal composition Tl1.8Ba2Ca2.2Cu3Ox, and the usual solid-state reaction method has been applied. Lithium additions in the range 0.23-0.29 mol.% increase the fraction of the Tl-2223 phase and significantly improve the critical temperature of the samples. Higher amounts of lithium additions diminish the Tl-2223 phase, reduce the...
The effect of magnisium to sulfur ratio on the graphite morphology of graphite cast iron produced at differrent section thicknesses
ELMABROUK, Omar; ERFAN, Osama M.; Kalkanlı, Ali (2011-09-18)
This paper is concerned with the investigation of the effect of magnesium to sulfur ratio on the graphite morphology and estimation of the ranges of this ratio use to produce graphite cast iron at different section sections. The main factors affecting shape of graphite cast iron are the metallurgical structures and the section thicknesses. Cast iron of different shapes of graphite particles directly affect its thermo-mechanical properties. The nodular shape of these graphite particles such as in ductile cas...
Effect of molecular and electronic structure on the light-harvesting properties of dye sensitizers
Mete, E.; Üner, Deniz; Cakmak, M.; Gulseren, O.; Ellialtoglu, S. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2007-05-24)
The systematic trends in structural and electronic properties of perylenediimide (PDI)-derived dye molecules have been investigated by DFT calculations based on the projector-augmented wave (PAW) method including gradient-corrected exchange-correlation effects. Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations have been performed to study the visible absorbance activity of these complexes. The effect of different ligands and halogen atoms attached to PDI were studied to characterize the light-ha...
Effect of Boron Phosphate on the Mechanical, Thermal and Fire Retardant Properties of Polypropylene and Polyamide-6 Fibers
DOĞAN, Mehmet; Bayramlı, Erdal (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-10-01)
The effect of boron phosphate (BPO4) nanoparticles on the mechanical, thermal, and flame retardant properties of polypropylene (PP) and polyamide 6 (PA-6) fibers are investigated by tensile testing, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and micro combustion calorimeter (MCC). The addition of BPO4 reduces the mechanical properties of the both PP and PA-6 fibers. According to the TGA results, the addition of BPO4 does not change the thermal behavior of PP fiber and slightl...
