Co-based superalloys are commonly used in static components such as stationary vanes because of their superior hot corrosion, oxidation, sulfidation resistance and phase stability at elevated temperatures. They possess relatively lower strength values due to limits in strengthening with solid solution and/or carbide precipitation that makes them unusable for blade and disk applications requiring higher strength values. However, Co-based superalloys with L12 ordered γ’-Co3(Al,W) microstructure has recently drawn attention as a suitable alloy structure which could be a substitute for the now-days extensively-used Ni-based superalloys. In the first part of the investigation on the synthesis and structural characterization of Co-Al based superalloys; synthesis route, heat treatment regime and structural characterization of binary Co-Al alloys were presented. Co-rich side of Co-Al binary system was investigated by preparing 6 different alloy compositions (1.23, 8.40, 16.72, 19.50, 21.50 and 25 at. % Al), which were produced by arc melting technique. It has been found that relatively high Al content (≥ 16.72 at. % Al) seemed to stabilize fcc-Co in as-cast state. For low Al containing alloys (≥ 8.40 at. % Al) CoAl precipitation was not detected upon cooling from liquid state. It was shown that for these alloys fcc to hcp transformation can occur via martensitic manner not requiring fast cooling rates. It is interesting to note that, microstructure and composition of as-cast and annealed (1300°C for 24 hours followed by furnace cooling) states of Co-Al binary alloys disagree and are not consistent with current equilibrium phase diagrams published in literature. The superior properties of Co-based superalloys are originated from coherently distributed L12 type ordered Co3(Al,W)-γ’ precipitates within disordered γ matrix of Co-Al-W alloys. The phase stability of these ordered γ’ precipitates in the extremely harsh service environment strongly depends on the ordering characteristics as well as coherency between γ and γ’ phases. The aim of the second part of this study is to promote precipitation hardened Co-based superalloy microstructure for high-temperature applications. Therefore, the effects of tertiary alloying “W” element addition and heat treatments (including different aging times) on the solidification microstructures, structural stability and the mechanical properties of the Co-Al-W alloy systems with different Al & W content were presented. Through solutionizing and aging procedure until 256 h, γ/γ’ microstructure was achieved. During the aging treatment, γ/γ’ dual microstructure disturbed beneath the oxide layer and phases, namely Co3W and Co7W6, that can degrade microstructural properties were formed. Structural investigations were performed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques. Micro-hardness (Vickers) measurements were performed on as cast and heat-treated samples by using a Shimadzu Micro Hardness Tester.

Synthesis and characterization of conducting copolymers of (S)-2-methylbutyl-2-(3-thienyl)acetate with pyrrole and thiophene
Levent, A; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Cianga, I; Yagci, Y (Wiley, 2003-05-30)
Polymerization of methylbutyl-2-(3-thienyl)-acetate (MBTA) was achieved by constant current electrolysis at low temperature. Subsequently, the syntheses of block copolymers of polyMBTA were accomplished in the presence of either pyrrole or thiophene by constant potential electrolysis. Moreover, the copolymer of MBTA with thiophene was obtained with constant potential electrolysis.
Production and development of aluminide coatings by chemical vapor deposition on nickel based superalloys for turbine engine applications
Ertürk, Umutcan; İmer, Muhsine Bilge; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2017)
Diffusion coatings including aluminide coatings are utilized to improve the high temperature oxidation and corrosion resistance of turbine blades. Through the advancement in the aluminizing methods, higher purity and more homogeneously distributed coatings have been realized. The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is the most advanced technique utilized for aluminizing process. The versatility of CVD provides a large possibility to control process variables such as temperature, pressure, gas flows and ratios, ...
Development and thermal stability of Cr10Mo25Ta25Ti15V25 refractory high entropy alloys
Tukac, O. Umut; Özalp, Ali; Aydoğan Güngör, Eda (2023-01-01)
Refractory high entropy alloys (RHEAs) are promising materials for extreme environment applications, such as high-temperatures (> 1000 degrees C), corrosion and irradiation. In this study, a new CrMoTaTiV RHEA system has been designed using CALPHAD modeling and thermophysical parameter optimization, and produced by vacuum arc melting. Microstructure at room temperature as well as microstructural stability and me-chanical properties at high temperature have been investigated. It has been found that BCC alloy...

Pehlivan, O.; Yilmaz, O.; Kodolbas, A. O.; Duygulu, O.; Tomak, Mehmet (2013-01-01)
We have utilized ex-situ spectroscopic ellipsometry and HRTEM to characterize the optical and structural properties of intrinsic a-Si:H thin layer that plays a key role for the improvement of the open circuit voltage in silicon heterojunction solar cells. Intrinsic a-Si:H films were deposited on (100) p-type CZ silicon wafers by using Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) technique at 225 degrees C substrate temperature and deposition time ranges from 15 s to 1800 s. Observed changes in the imag...

In this study 7075 matrix alloy is chosen and SiC particles having average particle size of 29 mu m was incorporated into the alloy at the liquid state before vertical pressure casting. Four different additions of SiCp were made and the weight fractions used are 10%, 15%, 20% and 30%. Composites were processed by vertical pressure/squeeze casting machine developed at Middle East Technical University (METU) under 80 MPa pressure. The mold is specially designed to produce specimens for tensile and three point...
