The mechanical and tribological properties of electrochemical coatings can be enhanced by embedded second phase particles to nickel matrix. Two different anionic surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate (SLS) and ammonium lignosulfonate (ALS) were used together to adjust the wetting conditions and provide suspension of Al₂O₃ particles in a nickel sulfamate electrolyte in this study. High performance atomic force microscope (hpAFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and deposit stress analyzer were used to characterize the composite coatings. The effects of current density and amounts of the two surfactants and alumina particles in the electrolyte on wear rate, coefficient of friction (COF), and hardness were studied. It was found that the amount of incorporated Al₂O₃ dominantly affected the properties of coatings which could be controlled by adjusting the operating parameters. Although combined effects of the surfactants and current density on mechanical and tribological parameters were unpredictable in some cases, the composite coatings possessed superior properties than pure nickel. The presence of alumina particles in the composite coating increased the residual stress. Moreover, it resulted in preferentially oriented and finer nodular grains instead of regular morphology.

Thermal plasma synthesis of boron carbide
Altınok, Sertaç; Öztürk, Tayfur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2018)
Boron carbide is of interest for many applications due to unique combination of superior properties. These properties also make its production quite challenging. The net-shape boron carbide products are obtained by sintering of powders at high temperatures. So as to decrease the sintering temperature, initial particle size should be reduced to nanometer sizes. In this study, thermal plasma synthesis of boron carbide nanoparticles was investigated. For this purpose, radio frequency inductively coupled plasma...

Theoretical and experimental investigation of residual stresses in electric discharge machining
Ekmekçi, Bülent; Erden, Abdülkadir; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2004)
Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) is a process for eroding and removing material by transient action of electric sparks on electrically conductive materials immersed in a dielectric liquid and separated by a small gap. A spark-eroded surface is a surface with matt appearance and random distribution of overlapping craters. It is mechanically hard and stressed close to ultimate tensile strength of the material and sometimes covered with a network of micro cracks. The violent nature of the process leads a uni...
Enhancement of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Resins by Graphene/Graphene Oxide Additives
Budak, Deniz; Yıldırım, Erol; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2022-1-23)
Control of interfacial interactions is essential for the preparation of polymer matrix composites with enhanced physical, mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. The performance of the graphene and graphene oxide (GO) additives can be improved by achieving strong adhesion and uniform dispersion of GO in the epoxy matrix. In this study, modeling and simulation of DGEBA (Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether)/DETA (Diethylenetriamine) based epoxy nanocomposites containing graphene and graphene oxide (GO) additi...
Micromechanical modeling of carbon nanotube – polymer composites
Taç, Vahidullah; Gürses, Ercan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018)
A micromechanics-based model is developed to simulate carbon nanotube – polymer nanocomposites and analyze its mechanical behavior. The nanocomposite is first divided into four distinct regions, or phases, based on mechanical behavior and density; the carbon nanotube, the interface, the interphase and the polymer. The finite element method was later used to combine the nanotube and interface phases into an effective fiber for better representation and incorporation of their roles and constitutive properties...
