Nickel-Cobalt alloys are among the most prominent materials due to their magnetic properties, wear resistance, thermal conductivity and electrocatalytic activities. Although nickel and/or nickel-cobalt alloys have been plated from Watts solution for a long time, today, especially for the engineering applications, nickel sulfamate based solutions are commonly preferred due to the advantages of low internal stress and high deposition rate. The properties of nickelcobalt alloy platings are directly related to the pH and the cobalt amount of the solution. In the literature, the optimum pH range was determined as 3.0-5.0, but the effects of the changes within this range on the properties of the coatings have not been investigated deeply. Three different solutions were prepared to perform coatings from solutions containing different pH and amounts of cobalt in this study. The coatings were characterized in terms of grain size and shape, composition, and hardness properties.

EFFECT OF ALLOYING ELEMENTS AND HEAT TREATMENT ON FATIGUE CRACK GROWTH BEHAVIOR OF FE-NI-BASED SUPERALLOYS
Topuz, Seher; Gürbüz, Rıza; Batıgün, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-12-02)
Fe-Ni-based superalloys are characterized by high strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance materials at room and elevated temperature applications. They are generally used in many parts requiring high toughness and ductility, such as aerospace, industrial gas turbine, and industrial components. The mechanical properties of Fe-Ni-based superalloys depend on three main effects. These alloying elements are added to the structure, working processes, and heat treatment. This study investigates the effect of...
Effects of pressure and electric field on the charge transport mechanisms in the silver-modified-zeolite porous microstructure
Koc, Sevgul Ozturk; Koseoglu, Kivilcim; Galioglu, Sezin; Akata Kurç, Burcu; SALAMOV, BAHTİYAR (2016-03-15)
The electrical properties and charge transport mechanisms for nanoporous natural zeolite of clinoptilolite and its silver modified form were studied for the first time in a wide gas pressure range (4-760 Torr) and electric field strength (50-350 kV/cm) at room temperature using two different cell configurations. One of the used cells contained a gas discharge gap, which allowed investigating the electronic conduction route in zeolite cathodes (ZC) as well. The influence of pressure, electric field and cell ...
Optimization of Mechanical Properties of Nickel-Cobalt Coatings from Sulphamate Baths
Karakaya, Esra; Başkan, Mertcan; Erdoğan, Metehan; Karakaya, İshak (2018-05-17)
Nickel-cobalt alloys are important coating materials due to their magnetic properties [1-2], wear resistance [3-4] and electrocatalytic properties [5]. Their deposition from sulfamate electrolytes has many advantages including low internal stress, homogenous deposition at high current densities, high current efficiencies and higher hardness as compared to the conventional Watts electrolyte [6]. A statistical experimental design was used to study the effects of boric acid and nickel chloride concentrations, ...

Effect of substrate type on structural and optical properties of metal nanoparticles for plasmonic applications
Tanyeli, İrem; Turan, Raşit; Bek, Alpan; Department of Physics (2011)
In this work, the structural and optical properties of metal nanoparticles fabricated on various substrates have been investigated. The particles were fabricated by electron beam lithography (EBL) and dewetting of a thin metal film. The advantages and disadvantages of these two fabrication techniques are discussed by considering the properties of the nanoparticles and the applicability to large area substrates. Being a practical fabrication method, dewetting can be applied to any substrate with either small...
