The aim of the current study is to investigate the production and characterization of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/C-SiC) Matrix Composites. Liquid silicon infiltration (LSI) method was utilized to produce the C/C-SiC composites. Processing of these composites via LSI process contains there main steps: Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composite production, pyrolysis and liquid silicon infiltration. Each production step has an important effect on the efficiency of the LSI process, therefore, present study investigates the effect of the parameters of each step on the silicon infiltration process by comparing the properties of C/C preforms and resulting C/C-SiC composites obtained by various processing conditions. Increasing pyrolysis temperature results in decreasing density along wtih increasing porosity content and crack opening of the C/C preform which directly affect the efficiency of subsequent LSI process. Comparison of density, microstructure and flexural strength values of resulting C/C-SiC composites revealed that pyroO\VLVPXVWEHDSSOLHGDWC and following silicon infiltration of the C/C preforms must EHFRQGXFWHGDWC in vacuum atmosphere.

Processing and characterization of carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide (c/c-sic) matrix composites Tülbez, Simge; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi; Esen, Ziya; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2015) The current study was undertaken to investigate the production and characterization of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/C-SiC) Matrix Composites. Liquid silicon infiltration (LSI) method was utilized to produce the C/C-SiC composites. Processing of these composites via LSI process composed of three main stages. CFRP production, pyrolysis and liquid silicon infiltration. Each production stage has an important effect on the efficiency of the LSI process, therefore present study investigates the effe...
Optimization of metalization in crystalline silicon solar cells Demircioğlu, Olgu; Turan, Raşit; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2012) Production steps of crystalline silicon solar cells include several physical and chemical processes like etching, doping, annealing, nitride coating, metallization and firing of the metal contacts. Among these processes, the metallization plays a crucial role in the energy conversion performance of the cell. The quality of the metal layers used on the back and the front surface of the cell and the quality of the electrical contact they form with the underlying substrate have a detrimental effect on the amou...
Optimization of fabrication steps for n-type c-Si solar cells Orhan, Efe; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2019) Crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells fabricated on p-type wafers are still dominating the photovoltaic (PV) industry due to advantages in device processing and early focus on p-type cells in the development phase of the industry. Over the years, studies on n-type Czochralski (CZ) substrates have shown that they can be more desirable for the terrestrial applications due to superior material and process advantages such as higher minority carrier lifetime, easier passivation of the surface, absence of light ...
Experimental Investigation of the Effect of CNT addition on the strength of CFRP Curved Composite Beams, Miray, Arca; Uyar, Imren; Çöker, Demirkan (null, Springer, 2015-01-01) Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been attracting attention as a toughening material in composite matrix due to their excellent mechanical properties. However, superior properties of CNTs have not yet been realized in the strengthening of composites against fracture. This study focuses on investigating the effect of CNT variation in the epoxy resin on the strength of curved composite beams. Specimens are [0/90] fabric carbon/epoxy composite laminates manufactured by hand layup technique 3 % wt CNT fractions in th...
