The effect of the parameters of heat treatment on the experimental 18% maraging steels was studied using hardness tester, optical, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy and X-ray metallography techniques. The specimens were solution treated at 815, 900, 1000, 1060 degrees C for periods between 1 and 4 h. After air-cooling to room temperature. a bce martensitic structure was obtained. The higher temperature (1060 degrees C) and longer time (4 h) of the solution treatment caused essentially homogeneous, massive martensitic structure. The aging of the steels was studied between 240 and 480 degrees C from 1 to 41 h. As indicated by the results, the hardness vs, aging time curves show a rapid rate of hardening at 480 degrees C while the response at 240 to 320 degrees C is slower. The time required to reach peak hardness increases with decreasing temperature. The increase in hardness during aging can be explained by the precipitation of hardening phases. So, it is necessary to use a high temperature solution treatment to obtain a better alloy distribution and a tough martensitic structure, and an aging treatment at 480 degrees C between 4 and 10 h to achieve the desired properties.

The effect of tempering on susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking of AISI 4140 steel in 33% sodium hydroxide at 80 degrees C Sarioglu, F (2001-09-30) The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behaviour of low alloy steel AISI 4140 was investigated in 33% sodium hydroxide solution at 80 degreesC under freely corroding conditions. Tempering temperatures of 450, 500, 550, 600 and 650 degreesC were used to produce a range of micro structures and strength levels. The relation between the crack growth rate and the stress intensity factor was obtained by constant displacement rate tests conducted on pre-cracked compact tension specimens. The crack growth behaviour an...
Kinetics and Mechanisms of Isothermal Devitrification in Amorphous Cu50Zr50 Cullinan, Tim; Kalay, Ilkay; Kalay, Yunus Eren; Kramer, Matt; Napolitano, Ralph (2015-02-01) The crystallization kinetics and microstructural dynamics associated with devitrifying a melt-spun Cu50Zr50 metallic glass were investigated using isothermal treatments, in situ high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction, conventional and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The analysis of isothermal transformations allows us to more clearly unravel the complex interplay between nucleation and growth of competing stable and metastable phases. The isotherma...
The role of amorphous precursor in phase selection hierarchy in marginal metallic glasses YILDIRIM, CİHAN; KUTSAL, M.; OTT, R. T.; BESSER, M. F.; KRAMER, M. J.; Kalay, Yunus Eren (Elsevier BV, 2016-12-15) The solid state amorphous structure and devitrification products of Al90Tb10 alloys produced by Cu block meltspinning and magnetron sputtering were investigated by a combined study of differential scanning calorimetry, in-situ X-ray diffraction and conventional transmission electron microscopy. The as-prepared specimens were found to be fully amorphous according to the electron and X-ray diffraction. The thermal analysis and in-situ XRD analyses of the amorphous samples having the same chemistry but differe...
Effect of thermal treatments and palladium loading an hydrogen sorption characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotubes KOCABAŞ, SEFA; KOPAÇ, TÜRKAN; DOĞU, GÜLŞEN; Doğu, Timur (2008-03-01) The effects of thermal treatments and palladium loading on sorption characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) samples were investigated. The thermal treatment experiments were carried out in a temperature range of 300-800 degrees C. The sorption characteristics of nitrogen and hydrogen on the original, heat treated and the palladium loaded samples were investigated. Analyzing the nitrogen adsorption isotherms on these samples at 77.4 K, the highest specific surface area of 2230 m(2)/g was obt...
The effects of zinc nitrate, zinc acetate and zinc chloride precursors on investigation of structural and optical properties of ZnO thin films BACAKSIZ, EMİN; Parlak, Mehmet; TOMAKİN, MURAT; Ozcelik, A.; Karakiz, M.; Altunbas, M. (2008-10-20) ZnO thin films were prepared using zinc chloride, zinc acetate and zinc nitrate precursors by spray pyrolysis technique oil glass substrates at 550 degrees C. Structural and optical properties of ZnO films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and optical transmittance spectra. Regardless of precursors, ZnO thin films are all in hexagonal crystallographic phase and have to (0 0 2) preferred orientation. SEM images show completely different surface morphologies for ...
