This study aims to investigate the use of ground pumice powder (PP) in cement production and to monitor void developments in mortars by X-ray Computerized Tomography (CT) which is a nondestructive test method. PP-blended cements were produced by replacing ordinary Portland cement with PP at 0% (control), 5%, 10% and 15% by weight. Paste and mortar specimens were manufactured by these blended cements. Some of the physical and mechanical tests are carried out on these mortar specimens. Experimental results showed that macro void developments in 100-day period for mortars with different PP replacement ratios exhibited different reduction in void ratios.

Monitoring the Microstructural Evolution in Spheroidized Steels by Magnetic Barkhausen Noise Measurements
DAVUT, Kemal; Gür, Cemil Hakan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-12-01)
The aim of this study is to monitor nondestructively the degree of spheroidization in steels by Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) method. Various series of specimens consisting of either lamellar pearlite or partially/completely spheroidized carbides were produced from AISI 1060 steel by appropriate heat treatments. All specimens were characterized by metallographic examinations, hardness and MBN measurements. The results show that MBN signals are very sensitive to the variations in the microstructure caused ...
Processing and characterization of high density tungsten-nickel-iron alloys
Çalışkan, Necmettin Kaan; Bor, Şakir; Durlu, Nuri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2013)
In the present study, processing of W-Ni-Fe alloys by liquid phase sintering technique has been investigated. Effect of sintering atmospheres (hydrogen and vacuum), tungsten content altering from 90 to 97 wt.%, Ni/Fe ratio varied from 2 to 4 and post sintering treatments (heat treatment and swaging) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of W-Ni-Fe alloys have been analyzed. Liquid phase sintered alloys were characterized by mechanical tests, electron microscopy and XRD studies, thermal analyses an...
Monitoring variation of surface residual stresses in shot peened steel components by the magnetic Barkhausen noise method
SAVAŞ, SERDAR; Gür, Cemil Hakan (2010-12-01)
Shot peening is a cold working process by which residual compressive stresses are induced in the surface and near-surface region to increase the fatigue strength and the resistance to stress corrosion cracking This study covers non-destructive evaluation of surface residual stresses in the shot peened steel components by the magnetic Barkhausen noise method For this purpose various sets of steel specimens were prepared by a controlled shot peening process with different intensities impact angles and coverag...
Joint shear strength prediction for reinforced concrete beam-to-column connections
Unal, Mehmet; Burak Bakır, Burcu (2012-02-10)
In this analytical study numerous prior experimental studies on reinforced concrete beam-to-column connections subjected to cyclic loading are investigated and a database of geometric properties, material strengths, configuration details and test results of subassemblies is established. Considering previous experimental research and employing statistical correlation method, parameters affecting joint shear capacity are determined. Afterwards, an equation to predict the joint shear strength is formed based o...
Investigating the Effects of Subsequent Weld Passes on Surface Residual Stresses in Steel Weldments by Magnetic Barkhausen Noise Technique
Gür, Cemil Hakan; Batıgün, Caner; Çam, İbrahim (2016-03-01)
Variations of surface residual stresses with subsequent weld passes were investigated in API 5L X70 steel plates by the magnetic barkhausen noise (MBN) technique. The plates were welded by applying a number of different passes under fully clamped conditions. After each weld pass, the MBN signal and hardness distributions on the front and back surfaces of the plates were measured. A specific calibration procedure and setup were used for conversion of the MBN signals into elastic stress values. The results we...
