C Despite the associated health and safety concerns of Cadmium, this material remains the most commonly used fastener plating material in aerospace applications. The plating operation is done by a well understood and common electrodeposition process. If a cadmium plated part has high strength (1000 MPa and above) then in order to prevent hydrogen embrittlement it must be baked at 191°C for 23 hours, within 2 hours after plating. Yet it has been seen that parts fail due to hydrogen embrittlement during service. The first stage of this study investigated the potential for an 8-hour test (developed by Drehler) instead of the aerospace industry standard 200-hour test (QQ – P – 416). The second phase involved an investigation into the effect of hydrogen on crack initiation-based fatigue life of a modified 4340 steel, utilising a rotating beam fatigue test and presenting data within S – N curves. A batch of as-coated samples and a batch of preloaded samples were fatigue tested by rotating beam testing machine. Although the 8-hour test results indicated possible hydrogen absorption, the fatigue test results showed minimal variation in fatigue performance. The most distinctive detrimental change in fatigue behaviour was observed within preloaded samples. Prediction of the mechanisms leading to premature failure of aerospace components was the ultimate purpose of this work.

Effects of SiC particulates on the fatigue behaviour of an Al-alloy matrix composite Kaynak, Cevdet (2006-01-01) In this study, the fatigue behaviour of aluminium matrix-silicon carbide (SiC) particulate reinforced composite specimens was investigated in comparison to the matrix aluminium alloy containing 12 wt% Si. Three different weight percentages of SiC particulates: 5, 10, and 15 in the size range of 40-60 gm were injected into the melt. Mg was also added to improve the wettability of Al-alloy matrix over SiC particulates resulting in better interfacial bonding. Test specimens were machined from squeeze casting b...
Effect of Electrodeposition Parameters on the Current Density of Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in Ni and Ni-MoS2 Composite Coatings Gueler, E. Saraloglu; KONCA, ERKAN; Karakaya, İshak (2013-04-01) Nickel composites with co-deposited insoluble, solid lubricant particles such as MoS2 have been reported to reduce friction. It is known that hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), competes with nickel deposition. The influence of the parameters and their interaction effects on the peak current density of HER during the electrodeposition of Ni and Ni-MoS2 composite coatings were studied by fractional factorial design. The parameters and their ranges studied were; MoS2 particle concentration (0-30 g/l), temperat...
Effect of expandable graphite on flame retardant, thermal and mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane composites filled with huntite&hydromagnesite mineral Guler, Turkan; Tayfun, Umit; Bayramlı, Erdal; DOĞAN, Mehmet (2017-01-10) The effect of expandable graphite (EG) was studied on the flame retardant, thermal and mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) containing huntite&hydromagnesite (HH). According to the flammability tests results, the synergistic interaction was observed between HH and EG. The maximum limiting oxygen index (LOI value was observed at a ratio of 1:1 (HH:EG) and the highest vertical burning test (UL-94) rating of V0 was observed at a ratios of 4:1, 3:2 and 1:1. The synergistic interaction betwe...
Effect of Heat Treatment on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Additively Manufactured 18Ni300 Maraging Steels Aydın, İbrahim; Yağmur, Aydın; Tirkeş, Süha; Gür, Cemil Hakan (2021-09-01) Recently, additive manufacturing of maraging steels has gained importance as an alternative to the traditional manufacturing techniques for aerospace components. In this study, various procedures were conducted to find optimum homogenization and aging treatment parameters for 18Ni300 parts that were additively manufactured via Selective Laser Melting (SLM).
Effect of Polymer Additives and Process Temperature on the Physical Properties of Bitumen-Based Composites Dogan, Mehmet; Bayramlı, Erdal (2009-08-15) Polymer modified bitumen (PMB) is a binder obtained by the incorporation of polymer into the bitumen by mechanical mixing or chemical reaction. This study deals with the modification of bitumen with three types of polymers (LDPE, EVA, and SBS) in the presence of filler (CaCO3). The morphological, mechanical, rheological properties, and thermal conductivity of the PMBs have been analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, tensile testing, melt flow index (MFI) measurements and hot wire method, respectively.
