In this study, the microstructure, mechanical and biological properties of the Mg-based implant samples prepared by the combination of micro-manufacturing and powder metallurgy route were investigated. Porous AZ91D Mg alloy disks with smooth and textured surfaces were manufactured under compaction pressures of 25 and 40 MPa at 150 degrees C and under sintering conditions of 380 degrees C for 30 and 150 min. The phase changes and microstructure were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron (SEM) and light microcopy. The mechanical properties were characterized using diametral tensile and hardness tests. The relative densities were also calculated by their weights and volumes. As compaction pressure increased, relative densities of the disks increased (0.57-0.67%) as well as the diametral tensile strength (2.55-3.01 MPa) and Vickers microhardness values (13.5-84.1 HV2). The validity of relative density measurements was provided by image processing technique and finite element method. It was observed that cells adhered and proliferated more on disks with textured surface of channels than on disks with a smooth surface. Cell culture studies showed that Mg alloy disks were cytocompatible.

Manufacturing, mechanical and microstructural characterization of AZ91D magnesium alloy for biomedical applications Kayhan, Said Murat; Evis, Zafer; Koç, Muammer; Department of Engineering Sciences (2015) In this study, the microstructural and mechanical properties of the Mg-based implant samples prepared via powder metallurgy route were investigated. Moreover, the biological response of the Mg-based implant samples was investigated. AZ91D Mg alloy discs with smooth and textured surfaces were manufactured under compaction pressures of 25 and 40 MPa at 150⁰C. They were then sintered at 380⁰C for 30 and 150 mins. The microstructural evaluation was conducted through SEM and light microcopy images. As compaction...
Production and characterization of porous titanium alloys Esen, Ziya; Bor, Şakir; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2007) In the present study, production of titanium and Ti6Al4V alloy foams has been investigated using powder metallurgical “space holder technique” in which magnesium powder were utilized to generate porosities in the range 30 to 90 vol. %. Also, sintering of titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy powders in loose and compacted condition at various temperatures (850-1250oC) and compaction pressures (120-1125 MPa), respectively, were investigated to elucidate the structure and mechanical properties of the porous cell walls...
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...
Surface morphology investigation of a biodegradable magnesium alloy Tahmasebifar, Aydin; Evis, Zafer; Koç, Muammer; Department of Engineering Sciences (2015) In this study, the effect of manufacturing conditions (i.e. compaction pressure, sintering temperature and time) on physical, mechanical and electrochemical properties of Mg alloy discs as samples of biomedical implants prepared using powder forming technology were investigated. The main motivation of this study was to achieve the manufacturing of porous and micro-surface textured Mg-based biomedical implants with good mechanical and electrochemical properties. A Box-Behnken and Full Factorial experimental ...
Evaluating the effects of size and chirality on the mechanical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes through equivalent-continuum modelling Zuberi, M. Jibran S.; Esat, Volkan (2016-10-01) Due to numerous difficulties associated with the experimental investigation of the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), computational modelling is considered to be a powerful alternative in order to determine their mechanical properties. In this study, a novel three-dimensional finite element model incorporating a beam element with circular cross section is developed based on equivalent-continuum mechanics approach. The beam elements are used as the replacement of C-C chemical bonds in modelling SWNTs. F...
