There has been great attention on high-entropy alloys (HEAs) over the past decade. Unlike conventional alloy systems, HEAs commonly include at least five principal elements with equiatomic or near-equiatomic ratio. HEAs with their superior mechanical, magnetic, and thermal properties are promising materials for critical engineering applications. Medium-entropy alloys (MEAs), which consist of less than five principal elements, have very similar structural features with HEAs such as robust thermodynamic stability and exceptional mechanical performance. The insights of MEAs have not been fully revealed yet. In the present study, novel MEAs (Cu20Ni20Al30Ti30, Cu25Ni25Al25Ti25, Cu34Ni22Al22Ti22, and Cu35Ni25Al20Ti20) have been designed using thermo-physical calculations and Thermo-Calc software. These MEAs were then produced using copper heart arc melting and suction cast into cylindrical rods with 3 mm diameters. X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscope (OM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used for structural characterization. The corresponding results reveal that the Cu20Ni20Al30Ti30, MEA, consists of a body-centered cubic (BCC-B2) phase with intermetallic compounds (ICs), whereas Cu25Ni25Al25Ti25 has single BCC-B2 phase. When the amounts Cu and Ni are increased, system drives itself toward a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure. A dual BCC and FCC composite Cu35Ni25Al20Ti20 has been detected as the most promising MEA among the others with 820 and 1338 MPa measured yield and compressive strength, respectively.

Analysis of tempering treatment on material properties of DIN 41Cr4 and DIN 42CrMo4 steels Bayrak, Mustafa; Ozturk, Fahrettin; Demirezen, Mehmet; Evis, Zafer (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-10-01) DIN 41Cr4 and DIN 42CrMo4 materials have been widely used in automotive driving elements. Although 42CrMo4 is more expensive than 41Cr4, it is more preferable in terms of material properties. In this study, these two materials were heat treated by austenitizing in a continuous furnace at 850 degrees C and quenched in oil at 90 degrees C. After they were tempered at various temperatures, mechanical properties were determined for each tempering temperature. The material properties for both materials were comp...
Assessment of sheet metal forming processes by numerical experiments Önder, İ. Erkan; Tekkaya, A. Erman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005) Sheet metal forming technologies are challenged especially by the improvements in the automotive industry in the last decades. To fulfill the customer expectations, safety requirements and market competitions, new production technologies have been implemented. This study focuses on the assessment of conventional and new sheet metal forming technologies by performing a systematic analysis. A geometry spectrum consisting of six different circular, elliptic, quad cross-sections are selected for the assessment ...
Investigating the effects of hardening of aluminium alloys on equal-channel angular pressing-A finite-element study Karpuz, P.; Simsir, C.; Gür, Cemil Hakan (Elsevier BV, 2009-03-15) Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) is a promising severe plastic deformation method for production of ultrafine-grained bulk metals and alloys with considerably improved mechanical properties. In this study, numerical experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of strain hardening of aluminum alloys on the process performance of ECAP via finite element modeling. In the constitutive model, isothermal-plane strain, frictionless condition was assumed. The numerical results showed that strain hard...
Calculation of flutter and dynamic behavior of advanced composite swept wings with tapered cross section in unsteady incompressible flow Farsadi, T.; Hasbestan, J. J. (Informa UK Limited, 2019-02-16) In this study, the aeroelastic stability and response of a swept composite wing in subsonic incompressible flow are investigated. The wing is modeled as an anisotropic tapered thin-walled beam with the circumferentially asymmetric stiffness structural configuration to establish proper coupling between bending and torsion. The structural model considers a number of nonclassical effects, such as transverse shear, material anisotropy, warping inhibition, nonuniform torsion, rotary inertia and three-dimensional...
Bridge rating and reliability correlation: Comprehensive study for different bridge types Akgül, Ferhat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2004-01-01) Accumulation of research in the field of bridge evaluation based on structural reliability justifies the consideration of reliability index as the primary measure of safety for bridges. Furthermore, the lifetime bridge evaluation techniques are being mostly based on reliability methods. Currently, bridge safety is measured in terms of the rating factor, which reflects the live load capacity of the structure. In order to investigate the reliability index of an existing bridge and to consider its relation to ...
