Severe plastic deformation (SPD) can produce ultrafine grained (UFG) and nanocrystalline (NC) materials by imposing intense plastic strain. One of the many options for inducing large plastic strains is to pass the material through a torsional/twist extrusion. The high-strength materials fabricated by SPD has no limit in dimension, and they can even be applied to load-carrying structural materials. Even though the method is quite successful, the industrial transfer has been limited so far because of low production efficiency and high cost. To remedy such difficulties, a new torsional extrusion process called nonlinear twist extrusion (NLTE) is introduced in this study, which has been designed based on two principles; (1) linear arrangement of the production line and (2) effective die geometry resulting in higher and more homogeneous plastic strain evolution which would give better grain refinement. The initial computational study of the designed geometry for the new extrusion process is addressed in the current study. The obtained results are discussed in detail with respect to conventional extrusion process, which is referred to as linear twist extrusion (LTE). The method is expected to offer a great potential for industrial use.

Potential of High Compressive Ductility of Ultrafine Grained Copper Fabricated by Severe Plastic Deformation

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) can fabricate high-strength materials by forming an ultrafine grained (UFG) microstructure. Low elongation to failure of UFG materials in tensile tests, which has often been regarded as a measure of ductility of materials, has been attributed to low strain hardening of UFG structures where dislocation slip and its accumulation is very limited. In the present work, it is shown that the compressive extensibility of UFG materials can be comparable or potentially superior to tha...
Theoretical investigation and design for x-ray lasers and their lithographic application
Demir, Pınar; Bilikmen, Kadri Sinan; Department of Physics (2008)
Grazing incidence pumping (GRIP) is a scheme to produce x-ray lasers and extreme ultraviolet lithography is a means of lithographic production which requires soft x-rays with a bandwidth of 2% centred at 13,5 nm. In this work firstly a grazing incidence pumping of Ni-like Mo and Ne-like Ti x-ray laser media were simulated by using EHYBRID and a post-processor code coupled to it. The required atomic data were obtained from the Cowan code. Besides, the timing issue needed for amplification purpose in a Ti:Sap...
Investigating the effects of hardening of aluminium alloys on equal-channel angular pressing-A finite-element study
Karpuz, P.; Simsir, C.; Gür, Cemil Hakan (Elsevier BV, 2009-03-15)
Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) is a promising severe plastic deformation method for production of ultrafine-grained bulk metals and alloys with considerably improved mechanical properties. In this study, numerical experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of strain hardening of aluminum alloys on the process performance of ECAP via finite element modeling. In the constitutive model, isothermal-plane strain, frictionless condition was assumed. The numerical results showed that strain hard...
Numerical investigation of residual stresses, distortion and microstructure evolution in multi-pass welded steel components
Garipova, Nuriya; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2016)
Formation of residual stresses, distortion and microstructure evolution in multi-pass welding and surfacing welding on pipeline HSLA steels were numerically investigated. A procedure for three-dimensional finite element analysis of temperature field, stress-strain state and phase changes in weldments was developed by using ESI SYSWELD & VISUAL WELD software. Numerical results were verified by comparisons with the results of various tests and measurements, such as molten pool profile calibration, microstruct...
Numerical investigation of braces and replaceable links for steel frames
Kazemzadeh Azad, Sina; Topkaya, Cem; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-2-10)
Concentrically braced frames (CBFs) and eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) are among popular lateral load resisting systems for steel structures. The present study investigates different aspects of these systems. The part devoted to EBFs begins with a comprehensive review of research where 22 future research needs are identified and presented. This is followed by an experimental study on the low-cycle fatigue behavior of links, which are the most important members of an EBF. Results of the experimental stud...
