The hot cracking susceptibility of two different Al-Mg alloys during welding at various applied strains was investigated. At each strain value, the amount of hot cracking susceptibility increased with increasing magnesium content. Thermal analysis results verified that hot cracking susceptibility indeed call be related to the solidification range. As suggested in the solidification range approach, the results of the present Study confirm that the extent of solidification and liquation cracking depend oil the magnitude of solidification range and the strain imposed during welding. The fracture surfaces of liquation and solidification cracks were investigated with EDS. Liquation crack surfaces were found to have high Mg content whereas solidification crack surfaces revealed iron rich phases. A quench test was designed to observe the effect of mid-plane segregation zone. It was observed that high segregation at the mid-section of the alloy having higher magnesium can increase the liquation cracking susceptibility during welding since it decreases the solidus temperature of the intergranullar liquid.

FLAME RETARDATION AND MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES OF 1,3 PROPYLENE-GLYCOL BASED UNSATURATED POLYESTER
Gündüz, Güngör; OZTURK, S (Informa UK Limited, 1994-01-01)
Flame retardance properties of 1,3 propylene glycol based unsaturated polyester containing 40% styrene and 20% acrylonitrile were investigated. The polyester with 12% Br content is self-extinguishing while others with lower bromine contents burn slowly. The high decrease in mechanical strength due to the presence of bromine is highly compensated by acrylonitrile.
Fatigue Cracking of Hybrid Plasma Gas Metal Arc Welded 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel
Yurtışık, Koray; Tirkeş, Süha (2014-01-01)
Contrary to other keyhole welding applications on duplex stainless steels, a proper cooling time and a dilution were achieved during hybrid plasma gas metal arc welding that provided sufficient reconstructive transformation of austenite without sacrificing its high efficiency and productivity. Simultaneous utilization of keyhole and metal deposition in the hybrid welding procedure enabled us to get an as-welded 11 mm-thick standard duplex stainless steel plate in a single pass.

Liquid steel flow in continuous casting machine: Modelling and measurement
Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (Informa UK Limited, 2011-08-01)
Single phase (liquid steel) and two-phase (liquid steel and argon bubbles) three-dimensional computational fluid dynamic and heat transfer models were developed for the continuous casting machines of ArcelorMittal. The computational domains include tundishes, slide gates, submerged entry nozzles and moulds. The effects of buoyancy, tundish design, tundish practices, nozzle design and caster practices on flow structure were investigated. Mathematical modelling is discussed in detail. In addition, submeniscus...
Wear behavior of H10A AISI/SAE steel nitrided by various methods
Yurtışık, Koray; Sarıoğlu, Filiz; Ankara, Alpay; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2002)
Wear performance of salt-bath, vacuum, ion nitrided and duplex treated (nitrided and ceramic coated by physical vapor deposition technique) steel dies (H10A AISI/SAE) were studied. The dies were used for forging of steel pastes (52100 AISI/SAE) at 1050°C under 700 MPa for 0.3 - 0.4 seconds during production of bearing rings. The nitrided and un-nitrided dies were investigated via optical and scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and micro-hardness determination procedures. The service lives of die...
A moment technique for adsorption rate on metal surfaces of supported catalysts CO adsorption on Pt-Al2O3 washcoated monolith
Dogu, G; Ozkan, G; Doğu, Timur (2001-12-15)
A moment technique was developed for the investigation of adsorption on metal surfaces of supported catalysts. The technique was applied to the evaluation of adsorption rate parameters of CO on a Pt-Al2O3 washcoated monolith. The adsorption rate constants evaluated in the temperature range 273-316 K showed significant decrease with an increase in surface coverage. Results of pulse response experiments corresponding to zero coverage gave the apparent activation energy for adsorption as 21 kJ/mol. This method...
