The corrosion inhibition performance and mechanical behavior of galvanized and heat-treated four newly developed austenitic stainless steel grades and type 316L austenitic stainless steel for application as sink rolls in galvanizing baths of 0.14-0.21 wt.% aluminum was investigated and compared through immersion corrosion test to determine the weight loss between 168 and 504 h, tensile test, and Charpy impact test. The delta ferrite content of the test samples was observed and estimated through optical microscopy, feritscope, and ONRL diagram. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy were used to characterize the surface microstructure, morphology, and chemical composition of the galvanized coating of the steel samples. Result showed that only two of the newly developed stainless steel compositions were selected for use in fabrication of galvanizing hardware based on the comparisons of corrosion and mechanical performances of tested alloys.

Fatigue Precracking Time Estimates for Three-Point Bending Specimens
Ghasabi, A. Alipour; Motameni, A; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-10-01)
Specimens containing sharp cracks are needed in certain types of mechanical tests, first and foremost for fracture toughness measurement of materials. Their use, however, is not just limited to this type of test. Another category of experiments deals with characterizing nonlinear vibrations of beams containing breathing cracks. To produce cracked beam specimens, fatigue cracks can be grown ahead of sharp notches under controlled loading. ASTM E399 and ASTM E1820 standards provide guidance on such procedures...
Usability of three boron compounds for enhancement of flame retardancy in polyethylene-based cable insulation materials
İBİBİKCAN, Esin; Kaynak, Cevdet (SAGE Publications, 2014-03-01)
It is known that for the production of halogen-free cable insulation materials based on polyethylene, very high amounts of traditional metal hydroxide flame retardants such as 65 wt% aluminum hydroxide are required to fulfill international directives. In this respect, the aim of this study was to reveal possible enhancement effects of three boron compounds on the flame retardancy of two cable insulation materials: low-density polyethylene and its blend with ethylene vinyl acetate both loaded with aluminum h...
Titanium-magnesium based composites: Mechanical properties and in-vitro corrosion response in Ringer's solution
ESEN, ZİYA; Dikici, Burak; Duygulu, Ozgur; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (Elsevier BV, 2013-06-20)
Ti-Mg composite rods exhibiting both bioinert and biodegradable characteristics have been manufactured by hot rotary swaging from elemental powders of titanium and magnesium. As a result of processing, spherical magnesium powders elongated in the direction of deformation and the dendritic structure in starting magnesium powders transformed into highly equiaxed grains. Magnesium particles in the outer layer of the composites were decorated by thin layer of MgO while the interior parts were free from oxides. ...
CRACK-GROWTH KINETICS OF 7050-T73651 ALUMINUM-ALLOY UNDER CONSTANT LOAD AT 150-DEGREES-C
SARIOGLU, F; ABACHI, P; DORUK, M (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1993-03-15)
Crack growth tests at 150-degrees-C under constant load conditions were performed on compact tension specimens of 7050-T73651 aluminium alloy. The d.c. potential drop method was employed to monitor crack lengths throughout the tests. Fracture mechanics parameters such as the stress intensity factor (K) and energy-rate line integral (C*) were used to establish correlation with the crack propagation rates. As a result of experiments it was found that crack growth rates (da/dt) versus K, over discrete ranges o...
Surfactant-modified multiscale composites for improved tensile fatigue and impact damage sensing
Yesil, Sertan; Winkelrnann, Charles; Bayram, Göknur; La Saponara, Valeria (Elsevier BV, 2010-10-25)
This paper documents the mechanical and electrical performance of self-sensing conductive polymer composites prepared with a low-cost technique and small hardware, able to considerably improve the dispersion and the surface adhesion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in epoxy resin with respect to amine-modified CNTs and as-received CNTs. Surface treatment of the CNTs is performed using hexamethylene diamine, or a mix of sulfuric and nitric acid, and one of two surfactants (for the diamine treatment on...
