We investigated the effects of annealing on the crystallinity and mechanical properties of 3D-printed PLA specimens. Specimens with a dog-bone geometry for tensile testing were prepared by fused deposition modeling using a commercial PLA filament. The specimens were annealed at different temperatures in the range 80°C – 120°C fordifferent durations (60 minutes–24 hours) in dry nitrogen environment. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) characterized the crystallinity and the structure of the specimens. Mechanical properties were determined by tensile testing according to ASTM D638 standard test method. Upon annealing, the disorderedcrystal phase of PLA (α’) transformed into α-phase. Annealing increased the degree of crystallinity in the samples, andhigher annealing temperatures resulted in higher crystallinity. Samples annealed at 80°C for 24 hours showed superiorstrength and higher ductility when compared to as-printed samples. However, annealing at 120°C resulted in reduced ductility, comparable to that of as-printed samples. Samples annealed at 120°C experienced visible warpage due tothermal expansion and structural changes, and the loss of ductility might be attributed to these extrinsic changes. Heat treatments of 3D-printed components is an alternative approach to alter the structure and properties of specimens and provides a new design space for the optimization of 3D-printed parts for various applications.

Effect of Sm on thermal and mechanical properties of Cu-Zr-Al bulk metallic glasses Sikan, Fatih; Atabay, S. E.; Motallebzadeh, A.; Özerinç, Sezer; Kalay, I.; Kalay, Yunus Eren (Elsevier BV, 2019-01-16) The effect of rare-earth (Sm) microalloying on the thermal stability and phase selection along with the effect of nanocrystallization on the mechanical properties of amorphous melt-spun ribbons of Zr50Cu40Al10, Zr49Cu39.2Al9.8Sm2 and Zr48Cu38.4Al9.6Sm4 alloys were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Vickers and nanoindentation hardness tests and micropillar compression analysis. XRD and TEM analyses showed that all samp...
Effects of Montmorillonite Content and Maleic Anhydride Compatibilization on the Mechanical Behavior of Polylactide Nanocomposites Sarı, Burcu (2016-08-01) The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of montmorillonite (MMT) type nanoclay content and maleic anhydride (MA) grafted polylactide (PLA) copolymer compatibilization on the mechanical properties of PLA nanocomposites; compounded by twin-screw extrusion melt-mixing followed with injection molding for shaping of bulk specimens. Successively intercalated and exfoliated structures of the nanocomposites were observed by XRD and TEM analysis, including the chemical interactions by FTIR. Mechanical t...
Effects of titania particles on the behaviours of polylactide based composites Can, Ulaş; Kaynak, Cevdet; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2018) In the first part of this thesis, the main aim was to compare influences of various contents of the micron (200 nm) and nano (50 nm) sized titania (TiO2) particles especially on the mechanical performance of the polylactide (PLA) biopolymer. Micro and nano composites were prepared by twin-screw extruder melt mixing, while the specimens were shaped by compression molding. SEM analyses and mechanical tests revealed that due to the most uniform distribution in the matrix, the best improvements in the strength,...
Effect of Cu addition on the microstructural constituents and mechanical properties of twin roll cast AlFeMnSi alloys Meydanoglu, Onur; Birbaşar, Onur; Ulus, Ali; Beyhan, Bariş; Kalay, Yunus Eren (2015-01-01) In this study, the effect of copper addition on microstructural evolution, mechanical and corrosion properties of twin roll cast (TRC) AlFeMnSi alloy system mainly used in container foil applications was investigated. Microstructural characterization studies were conducted on as-cast, homogenization annealed and final products by employing optical and scanning electron microscopes. The mechanical properties of the samples obtained from compositional were determined at the thickness of final product by tensi...
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...
