In the present study, the cutting performance outputs (surface roughness, surface waviness and kerf taper angle) of colemanite powder as abrasive in abrasive watedet cutting (AWJC) with varying traverse rate and abrasive flow rate were investigated experimentally. The performance outputs were compared to that of garnet which is in common use in industry as abrasive in AWJC industry. A17075, marble, glass, Ti6Al4V and a composite material were selected as sample materials in the experiments. Furthermore, colemanite powder was mixed with garnet powder at certain proportions and the obtained surface characteristics were compared with those cut with pure garnet powder. It is found experimentally that in spite of higher amount of colemanite powder consumption with respect to garnet to perform the same cutting action, the colemanite powder could be an alternative powder for AWJC process.

Investigation of the effect of orientation and heat treatment on the stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of 7050 aluminium alloy Çevik, Gül; Doruk, Mustafa; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2004) In the present work, the effect of variation in specimen orientation and heat treatment on the Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) susceptibility of 7050 aluminum alloy was investigated in 3,5% NaCl solution and under freely corroding conditions. For this purpose, Constant Extension Rate Tests (CERT) was performed on precracked Compact Tension (CT) specimens and the Direct Current Potential Drop technique was applied to measure the crack lengths. In addition to crack length versus time curves, the relationship ...
A Study on integral recycling of valuable particle embedded composite wastes Göynük, Tansu; Karakaya, İshak; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2019) Recovery of the valuable particle embedded composite cutting tools was achieved by electrodissolution and deposition techniques. Diamond embedded composite wastes including both bronze matrix and cobalt-copper-tin matrix were used to recycle comprehensively and efficiently within the scope of this thesis. The parameters like current density, temperature and electrolyte composition were optimized to obtain both diamond and metal constituents as compact, dense powder with minimum specific surface area and ave...
THE EFFECT OF REUSED POWDER CHARACTERISTICS ON THE PROPERTIES OF ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED 17-4 PH STAINLESS STEEL Kahraman, Ece; Ögel, Bilgehan; Yasa, Evren; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-4-25) Powder bed additive manufacturing methods use the powder form of the material of the part to be produced as raw material. The quality of the production is highly dependent on the properties of the powder used in the first place. Consistently using new unused powder for each new additive manufacturing is costly and removes the advantage of additive manufacturing, i.e. low amount of waste material. In powder bed additive manufacturing methods, powders are laid layer by layer and melted by laser or electron be...
A study on the effect of pipe - soil relative stiffness on the behaviour of buried flexible pipes Bircan, Mehmet; Özkan, M. Yener; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) In this study, the effect of pipe-soil relative stiffness on the behaviour of buried flexible pipes was investigated considering the pipe size, material type, stiffness, pipe-soil and natural soil-backfill interfaces and geometry of the trench using the finite element method. For this purpose, a parametric study was conducted to examine the effect of different variables on the resulting earth loads and deformations imposed on the buried pipes. Various types of trench pipe-soil cases were analysed for a cert...
Mechanical, electrochemical and biocompatibility evaluation of AZ91D magnesium alloy as a biomaterial Tahmasebifar, Aydin; KAYHAN, Said Murat; Evis, Zafer; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Cinici, Hanifi; Koc, Muammer (2016-12-05) In this study, the effect of manufacturing conditions (i.e. compaction pressure, sintering temperature and time) on physical, mechanical and electrochemical properties of Mg alloy discs were investigated. The main motivation of this study was to achieve the manufacturing of porous and micro-surface textured Mg-based biomedical implants with good mechanical and electrochemical properties. A Box-Behnken and Full Factorial experimental design was used in experimental investigations. Relative densities of the f...
