Superaustenitic stainless steels (SSS) are widely used in extreme environments such as off-shore oil wells, chemical and food processing equipment, and seawater systems due to their excellent corrosion resistance and superior toughness. The design of the corresponding heat treatment process is crucial to create better mechanical properties. In this respect, the short-term annealing behavior of CN3MN grade SSS was investigated by a combined study of Charpy impact tests, hardness measurements, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Specimens were heat treated at 1200 K (927 A degrees C) for up to 16 minutes annealing time and their impact strengths and hardnesses were tested. The impact toughness was found to decrease to less than the half of the initial values while hardness stayed the same. Detailed fracture surface analyses revealed a ductile to brittle failure transition for relatively short annealing times. Brittle fracture occurred in both intergranular and transgranular modes. SEM and TEM indicated precipitation of nano-sized intermetallics, accounting for the intergranular embrittlement, along the grain boundaries with respect to annealing time. The transgranular fracture originated from linear defects seen to exist within the grains. Close observation of such defects revealed stacking-fault type imperfections, which lead to step-like cracking observed in microlength scales.

Synthesis of acrylic based high internal phase emulsion polymers and their application in chromatography Tunç, Yeliz; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2009) High internal phase emulsion polymers (PolyHIPEs) are new generation materials with their high porosity and interconnected open-cell structures and finds applications in areas such as supports for catalytic systems, separation media and tissue engineering scaffolds. Styrene based PolyHIPEs are currently the most popular choice, but solvent compatibility and poor mechanical properties of these materials prevent their applications. Therefore development of new polyHIPEs with desired mechanical and cellular pr...
Synthesis of TiB2-reinforced iron-based composite coating YILMAZ, SEVAL; Ozenbas, M.; YAZ, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01) Titanium diboride (TiB2) particulate reinforced Fe-based alloy composite coating was produced with ferrotitaniurn (FeTi), ferroboron (FeB), ferrotungsten (FeW), ferrochromium (FeCr), ferrovanadium (FeV) and ferromolybdenum (FeMo) powders by using gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. The effects of GTAW processing on the microstructure of AISI-4340 alloy coating with ferro-alloy powders were investigated experimentally. Abrasive wear tests were performed on the coated surface of samples to examine the in...
Compressive strength development of calcium aluminate cement-GGBFS blends Kirca, Onder; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Tokyay, Mustafa (2013-01-01) The compressive strength development of calcium aluminate cement (CAC) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) blends that were subjected to different curing regimes are investigated. The blends had GGBFS/CAC ratios between 0% and 80%, by mass. Mortar specimens, prepared with a water:binder:sand ratio of 1:2:6, were subjected to seven different curing regimes and the compressive strengths were monitored up to 210 days. In order to understand the effect of temperature on compressive strength develop...
Properties of reactive magnesia-incorporated cements Ardoğa, Mehmet Kemal; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-2) Magnesium oxide (MgO) has limited use in civil engineering applications. The presence of MgO (especially in free form) in portland cements is limited by the standards due to the risk involved in the gradual hydration of MgO that may lead to disruptive expansions after the cementitious system hardens. However, it is possible to overcome this detrimental effect by calcining magnesite at lower temperatures than that is encountered in the cement kilns and use thus obtained reactive MgO as an additive in cement....
Mechanical properties of Ti6Al4V parts produced by electron beam melting and topology optimization in different building directions Temel Yiğitbaşı, Selen; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Gülcan, Orhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018) Titanium and its alloys are used in various industries due to their mechanical properties such as high corrosion resistance, high strength and low-density. However, utilization of parts made of titanium are limited since the lead time for raw material is long, they are hard to machine, and the machining costs are high. On the other hand, it is possible to produce complex parts with powder material by additive manufacturing techniques, and there is a growing interest in research on these new technologies. El...
