High strength low alloy steels are widely used in line pipe applications since they have reasonably high strength and toughness due to their micro-alloying elements and production via thermomechanically controlled process. During welding of these steels, microstructures of the fusion zone and the heat affected zone consisting globular and acicular ferrite alter due to induced heat and thermal cycles. Consequently, changes in the microstructure affects the mechanical properties such as fracture toughness. Gas metal arc welding used in line pipe applications has several advantages such as high quality welds in short time, simplicity, no extra flux is needed, and no slag. The primary aim of this work to understand the effects of heat input and number of thermal cycles in gas metal arc welding on the fracture toughness of API 5L X70M steel. Effects of heat input and thermal cycles originating from weld passes on formation of local brittle zones and effect of local brittle zones on general fracture mechanism were investigated. Particular emphasis has been placed on the coarse grained heat affected zone.

Effect of temperature on fatigue properties of Din 35 NiCrMoV 12 5 steel Önem, Orkun Umur; Gürbüz, Rıza; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2003) DIN 35NiCrMoV125 (equivalent to AISI 4340), which is a high strength low alloy steel (HSLA), is mainly used at military applications in the production of gun barrels. The main aim of this study was to determine the low cycle fatigue (LCF) behaviour and the influence of temperature on low cycle fatigue failure properties of that steel. Three different temperatures (room temperature, 2500C and 4000C) were used in the experiments in order to analyze the effect of temperature. For each temperature, five strain ...
Effects of fabrication method on initial powder characteristics and liquid phase sintering behaviour of tungsten Erol, Mahmut; Erdogan, Metehan; Karakaya, İshak (Elsevier BV, 2018-12-01) Direct electrochemical production of tungsten involves removal of oxygen in solid state from an important tungsten compound, calcium tungstate, in molten salts. A detailed experimental study was performed to characterize the liquid phase sintering behaviour of the tungsten powder (WE), which was produced by the direct electrochemical reduction technique. All of the tungsten heavy alloy (WHA) compositions covered in this study, contained four parts nickel, one part cobalt and over 90 wt% tungsten. The pellet...
EFFECT OF ALLOYING ELEMENTS AND HEAT TREATMENT ON FATIGUE CRACK GROWTH BEHAVIOR OF FE-NI-BASED SUPERALLOYS Topuz, Seher; Gürbüz, Rıza; Batıgün, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-12-02) Fe-Ni-based superalloys are characterized by high strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance materials at room and elevated temperature applications. They are generally used in many parts requiring high toughness and ductility, such as aerospace, industrial gas turbine, and industrial components. The mechanical properties of Fe-Ni-based superalloys depend on three main effects. These alloying elements are added to the structure, working processes, and heat treatment. This study investigates the effect of...
The comparison of microstructure and mechanical properties of a low carbon bainitic forging steel after isothermal transformation and direct cooling Balcılar, Muhammed Mustafa; Ögel, Bilgehan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-4-27) Bainitic forging steels have emerged in recent decades as an alternative to Quench and Temper steels due to their low cost and energy requirements and optimum combination of strength, ductility, and toughness. Although effect of continuous cooling on bainitic forging steels have been studied, the effect of isothermal transformation on microstructure and mechanical properties of microalloyed bainitic forging steels is an open field. A low carbon microalloyed bainitic forging steel is examined in this study, ...
Effect of ECAP and post-aging processes on 2024 aluminum alloy Saraloglu, Ebru; Tan, Evren; Gür, Cemil Hakan (2008-01-01) Strength of aluminum alloys can be remarkably improved by obtaining ultrafine grain size via severe plastic deformation. Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) is considered to be a good candidate that is capable to produce bulk components. In this study, the combined effects of ECAP and post-aging treatment on the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys were investigated. An ECAP die with 120 degrees channel angle was used for severe plastic deformation of 2024 Al-alloy. The ECAPed specimens revealed highe...
