The capability of ultrasonic measurements for microstructure characterisation of as-cast and heat-treated ductile irons were investigated, and the data concerning the utilisation of ultrasonic techniques for quality control of ductile irons were provided. Specimens having various amount of nodular graphite were cast by adding different amounts of magnesium to the melt. Beside the as-cast ones, the specimens having various matrix constituents were obtained by applying specific heat treatment procedures. The ultrasonic properties were correlated with amount of nodular graphite and hardness. The results showed that ultrasonic velocity and apparent attenuation. on measurements are well-suited for determining the amount of nodular graphite. The attenuation measurements are more sensitive to the changes in the matrix structure, however, this challenge requires further research.

The effect of SN content and isothermal transformation temperature on the mechanical properties of austempered ductile cast iron Özcan, Alper; Atala, Haluk; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2003) In this study the effects of Sn content and isothermal transformation temperature on the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), elongation and hardness of austempered ductile cast iron (ADI) was investigated. To determine the possible effect of Sn on these properties the Sn content of standard GGG30, GGG40 and GGG50 materials were taken as reference, whose chemical compositions vary from 0,016 to 0,050% in terms of Sn. However the Sn content was increased to a maximum of 0,26% for investigating the effect of Sn o...
Microstructural investigation of SAE 1040 steel specimens by ultrasonic measurements Gür, Cemil Hakan (British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT), 2005-07-01) The aim of this study is to characterise the microstructures of the as-quenched and tempered SAE 1040 steel specimens by sound velocity and attenuation measurements. An initial heat treatment was applied to the specimens to obtain a uniform starting microstructure. Following 850 degrees C/0.5 h austenitisation and water-quenching of all specimens, a tempering process was applied at 200 degrees C and 600 degrees C for 2 h. Microstructures of the specimens were characterised first by metallography and hardnes...
Microstructural characterization of hypoeutectoid steels quenched from the Ae1 - Ae3 intercritical temperature range by magnetic barkhausen noise technique Boyacıoğlu, Beril; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2006) This thesis aims to examine the possibility of using Magnetic Barkhausen Noise technique in characterizing the ferritic-martensitic microstructure of hypoeutectoid steels quenched from the intercritical temperature range. For this purpose, rectangular specimens were prepared from SAE 1020, 1040 and 1060 steels. The specimens were heated at different temperatures within the intercritical temperature range and then quenched into water. Microstructures of the specimens were characterized by metallographic exam...
Microstructure effects on process outputs in micro scale milling of heat treated Ti6Al4V titanium alloys Ahmadi, Masoud; Karpat, Yigit; ACAR, Ozgun; Kalay, Yunus Eren (2018-02-01) This study investigates the influence of materials' microstructural characteristics, including grain size and phase fractions, in micro end milling of heat treated Ti6Al4V titanium alloys. Micro milling process conditions such as feed, depth of cut, and the cutting edge radius of the micro end mill are in the same order of magnitude as the grain size of the material, which gives rise to the anisotropic behavior of the multiphase materials and their deformation characteristics considering their grain size, g...
Microstructural changes and void swelling of a 12Cr ODS ferritic-martensitic alloy after high-dpa self-ion irradiation Chen, Tianyi; Aydoğan Güngör, Eda; Gigax, Jonathan G.; Chen, Di; Wang, Jing; Wang, Xuemei; Ukai, S.; Garner, F. A.; Shao, Lin (2015-12-01) A dual-phase 12Cr oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) alloy, with improved corrosion and oxidation resistance exhibits promising void swelling resistance and microstructural stability under Fe2+ ion irradiation to 800 dpa at 475 degrees C. Dispersoids were originally present in both ferrite and tempered martensite grains, with the latter having a wider range of dispersoid sizes. In both phases dispersoids > 10 nm in diameter are incoherent with the matrix, while smaller dispersoids are coherent. During irra...
