The measurement and quantification of the surface topography of single-ended die-pressed cylindrical compacts, prepared using agglomerated alumina powders at various values of compaction pressure and cylinder aspect ratio, are described and a means to study the deformation and breakdown of the agglomerates at the die walls is evaluated. A specially constructed non-contacting laser scanning profilometer, with associated hardware and software, is described and has been used to obtain the surface topographical profiles of the green alumina compacts. Selected data are reported and interpreted using conventional roughness parameters, autocorrelation functions, and bearing area curves. These computed parameters are used to elucidate the deformation characteristics of the agglomerates within the compacts. The deformation of the alumina agglomerates, at the planar (upper and lower) surfaces of the compacts, commences at very low compaction pressures and the inter-agglomerate surface pores are eventually annihilated at relatively high compaction pressures. The optimum normal pressure for the elimination of these inter-agglomerate surface pores, in the present alumina system, was determined as 74 MPa. The results obtained from the curved surface profiles of the compacts, as a function of the distance from the compression source, show that the wall normal pressure distribution, along the height of the compact, decreases exponentially as a function of the height of the compact (from top to bottom).

The Characterization of a Tar Sand Sample Using Differential Scanning Calorimeters Senguler, I.; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2013-01-01) In this study, non-isothermal kinetics and a thermal analysis tar sand sample is studied by differential scanning calorimeter and pressurized differential scanning calorimeter. Differential scanning calorimeter and pressurized differential scanning calorimeter curves revealed two reaction regions in the temperature range of 20-600 degrees C. Effect of pressure was also studied in order to see the thermal behavior of a tar sand sample under different elevated pressures. Two different kinetic methods (ASTM an...
The characterisation of die friction as a means to reduce component machining and attain near-net shape form Özkan, Necati; AYDIN, I. (1998-01-01) The cylindrical alumina compacts, produced by the uniaxial die pressing technique, posses a certain density distribution due to the creation of uneven stress distributions within the samples, which are controlled, in a major part, by the wall boundary (friction) conditions between the compact and the die wall. Die wall lubrication reduces the wall friction and hence the density variations within the compact. The extent of the shape deviations in the sintered compacts is directly proportional to the extent o...
THE INFLUENCE OF MANUFACTURING DEFECTS ON STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE OF COMPOSITE OVERWRAPPED PRESSURE VESSELS Yurdakul, Kıvanç; Gürbüz, Rıza; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-2-04) In this study, the influence of defects that are occurred in manufacturing operations of filament wound composite overwrapped pressure vessels on burst pressure is investigated experimentally. Firstly, material characterization methods such as tensile testing and fiber volume fraction testing of carbon/epoxy composite specimens are completed. Following determining of different layer configurations for small scale composite pressure vessels, manufacturing and burst testing of vessels are accomplished. Ef...
The analysis of cooling curves for grey cast iron and its mechanical properties Kalkanlı, Ali; GULDUR, H (2003-07-01) Thermal analysis can be utilized to reveal the total graphite nucleated in cast irons by correlating the integrated areas under the cooling curves and graphite areas of a cast iron sample measured using an image analyzer. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of varying amounts of inoculants on the thermal analysis of grey cast iron by observing the changes in the shape of the cooling curves. DeltaT values, i.e. the observed undercooling before recalescence, can be correlated to the changes in th...
The defect state of Yb-doped ZnO nanoparticles using thermoluminescence study Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2019-09-01) Shallow trapping centers in Yb-doped ZnO nanoparticles were determined using thermoluminescence (TL) measurements applied in the 10-300 K temperature region. Undoped and Yb-doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method. TL glow curve of undoped nano-particles presented three peaks around 56, 108 and 150 K whereas one additional peak around 83 K was observed in the TL curve of Yb-doped ZnO nano-particles. The increase of Yb concentration in the nanoparticles increased the TL intensity of this ad...
