Fatigue failure of the welded structures is a major problem in engineering applications. It is known that the heat affected zone (HAZ) of the welded Al-alloys is prone to fail due to coarse microstructure and poor mechanical properties. Therefore, any improvement in HAZ may extend the service life of the welded component. The hypothesis of this study is that localized application of friction stir processing (FSP) before welding may improve the mechanical properties of HAZ, and thus, may reduce the fatigue crack growth rate. The 5083 Al-alloy plates were joined by following two different routes: application of gas metal arc welding in a conventional way, and application of gas metal arc welding after FSP of the bevel zones of the plates which are going to be affected by heat input. To investigate the improvements, hardness, tensile and fatigue crack propagation tests were performed, and microstructures and fracture surfaces were investigated by optical and electron microscopy.

Investigation of mechanical property changes after MIG welding of (7XXX) series aluminum alloys
Okay, Sena; Ögel, Bilgehan; Batıgün, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2016)
There is an increasing demand for aluminum alloys not only in aerospace industry but also in automotive industry due to its low density. Welding is the most effective and commonly used joining technique in those industries, therefore, aluminum welding plays an important role. 7039 aluminum alloy, is a high strength alloy and it is suitable for armor applications. Like other aluminum alloys, after MIG welding, remarkable decrease in strength is observed and therefore applications are restricted. The aim of t...
Vibration induced stress and accelerated life analyses of an aerospace structure
Özsoy, Serhan; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006)
Fatigue failure of metallic structures operating under dynamic loading is a common occurrence in engineering applications. It is difficult to estimate the response of complicated systems analytically, due to structure̕s dynamic characteristics and varying loadings. Therefore, experimental, numerical or a combination of both methods are used for fatigue evaluations. Fatigue failure can occur on systems and platforms as well as components to be mounted on the platform. In this thesis, a helicopter̕s Missile W...
Shock failure analysis of metallic structures by using strain energy density method
Çelik, Mehmet; Mercimek, Ümit; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat (2014-01-01)
Failure of metallic structures operating under shock loading is a common occurrence in engineering applications. It is difficult to estimate the response of complicated systems analytically, due to structure's dynamic characteristics and varying loadings. Therefore, experimental, numerical, or a combination of both methods is used for evaluations. In this study, test pieces made of two different materials are subjected to shock loads stemming from firing of a Gatling gun. Strain measurements are made, and f...
Shock failure analysis of military equipments by using strain energy density
Mercimek, Ümit; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat; Çelik, Mehmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010)
Failure of metallic structures operating under shock loading is a common occurrence in engineering applications. It is difficult to estimate the response of complicated systems analytically, due to structure’s dynamic characteristics and varying loadings. Therefore, experimental, numerical or a combination of both methods are used for evaluations. The experimental analysis of the shocks due to firing is done for 12.7mm Gatling gun and 25mm cannon. During the tests, the Gatling gun and the cannon are located...
Effect of friction stir processing on fracture toughness and crack growth behaviour of fusion welded 5083 grade aluminum plates
Akçay, Günseli; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2015)
The purpose was to investigate the effects of post-weld friction stir processing (FSP) on the microstructure and fatigue crack propagation in Aluminum Alloy 5083 H111 weldments. As preliminary study, optimization trials were done in order to decide the type, rotational speed, and travel speed of the FSP tool. Microstructural examinations, hardness and tensile tests were done on as-processed materials. In the second part of the work, FSP was applied on the weld zone of the 5083 H111 plates that were joined b...
