Fabrication of sputtering targets deviates from the customary practices in ceramic processing as their production volumes are often quite low. The use of hot-press, in this context, greatly facilities the fabrication of sputter targets since both the density and the dimensions of the target are controlled during the pressing. In the absence of hot press, however, the fabrication requires extensive preliminary work, but difficult to justify due to limited volume production. In this study, in place of customary rigid die, we propose the use of a deformable die which greatly simplifies the fabrication procedure. In this approach, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) rings are used as compaction die filled with powders, tapped to uniform density. The die is then deformed between parallel platens whereby compacting the powders. The method relies on the fact that the pressing leads to almost no change in the internal diameter of the ring. This approach was illustrated with the fabrication of 2 in. La0.8Sr0.2CoO3-δ (LSC-113) target where the deformable die was dimensioned by preliminary experiments on PTFE rings of small diameter. Sputter targets of sintered density greater than 0.95 and dimensions within the tolerances of the sputter gun were successfully fabricated. It is proposed that the approach may also be applicable to flat products of irregular shape, as high friction in tapped particulate media makes the lateral flow difficult, confining the compaction mainly to axial direction.

Characterization of steel microstructures by magnetic barekhausen noise technique
Davut, Kemal; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2006)
This aim of this thesis is to examine the possibility of using Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) technique in characterizing the microstructures of quenched and tempered low alloy steels as well as annealed low carbon steels. To determine the average grain size by MBN, SAE 1010 steel consisting of dominantly ferrite was used. The specimens were slowly cooled in the furnace after austenitizing at different time and temperature variations. By metallographic examination the average ferrite grain size of specimen...
Use of a nozzle with a rectangular orifice on a hybrid FFF system
Gharehpapagh, Bahar; Dilberoğlu, Mecid Uğur; Dölen, Melik; Yaman, Ulaş (2021-11-01)
Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) process has lower surface roughness quality, precision and it takes longer to fabricate compared to the conventional manufacturing operations and some additive manufacturing technologies. In order to overcome these issues, a rotary extruder head with a nozzle having a rectangular orifice has been utilized in this work. A new tool path planning for a rectangular nozzle is designed to increase the efficiency of the extrusion process by this nozzle. As a result, finer features ...

Preparation of crosslinkable high density polyethylene and polypropylene polyblends
Koltuksuz, Barış; Tinçer, İsmail Teoman; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2015)
High density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) are two commonly used thermoplastic polymers existing in the commodity plastic market due to their developed and easy post-reactor processability characteristics. Although these two polymers can be subjected to reprocessing, they eventually experience critical losses in their main physical and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. With the aim of preventing these losses in their mechanical and thermal properties in their individual and blende...
