Over the years, due to stringent customer requirements, steel producers have had to continuously improve castability and product quality in order to reduce reject rates (internal and/or external). Extensive research has been conducted to fundamentally understand the problems and to propose effective solutions. It has been proved that the castability and the product quality primarily depend on the flow structure in continuous casting machine, which has effects on many phenomena such as, heat transfer, transport of inclusions, meniscus freezing, shell thinning from the jet impinging upon the solidifying shell, transient waves and fluctuations of the meniscus, thermal stress, and crack formation. [1-6] Flow structure ultimately determines the castability of particular steel product, and the total quantity and final location of defects in the product. Therefore, understanding and controlling liquid steel flow in continuous casting machine have been of considerable interest in recent years.

The effect of inspection error on quality and producer losses: the case of nominal-the-best type quality characteristic and rework Köksal, Gülser; Dolgun, Leman Esra; Batmaz, İnci (Inderscience Publishers, 2013-01-01) In this study, the effect of inspection error (IE) on quality and producer losses is investigated for a nominal-the-best type quality characteristic determined by a manufacturing process centre with a separate rework unit. The probability distribution and the first two moments of the resulting quality characteristic values are derived and used together with Markov chain models and simulation to study the quality and producer losses and the related statistics for various processes and gage capability levels....
Industrial design and the mass customization of electronic consumer goods Kayğın Sel, Sultan; Pedgley, Owaın Francıs; Hasdoğan, Gülay Fatma; Department of Industrial Design (2013) Mass customization is promoted in manufacturing industry as a way to satisfy individual customer requirements in a flexible, efficient and cost effective way. However, mass customization within the specific sector of ‘electronic consumer goods’ is relatively underdeveloped, whilst the contributions of industrial designers to mass customization remain quite unclear. This research redresses both of these issues, elaborating on the possibilities of mass-customization in the electronic consumer goods sector, an...
Application of the Contour Method to Determine Axial Residual Stresses in Cold Extruded Steel Rods Aydin, O.; Şimşir, Caner (2021-01-01) Residual stresses in cold extruded parts play an important role in both component lifetime and succeeding in manufacturing performance. When a cold extruded part is used directly, the lifetime of the part depends on the residual stresses induced during cold extrusion. On the other hand, if the part is exposed to post operations such as machining, residual stresses may cause distortions. Despite their importance, there are only a few residual stress measurement methods to assess axial residual stresses in fu...
Development of High Fracture Toughness Hard Coatings Kaygusuz, Burçin; Özerinç, Sezer; Kazmanlı, Muhammet Kürşat; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2021-9-2) Improving the machining performance of cutting tools is critical for increasing product quality and decreasing production cost and time. For this purpose, hard coatings on cutting tools are widely utilized in the industry. These hard coatings increase the lifetime of cutting tools by improving their wear resistance and allow higher cutting speeds. One of the primary drawbacks of these hard coatings is their brittle nature, which occasionally results in premature failure. This thesis investigated a solution ...
A new concept on sampling systems by air cannon application Yünel, Ufuk; Hiçyılmaz, Cahit; Department of Mining Engineering (2004) The most important criterion in industrial production processes is to control the required product quality and comply with the standards pre-described for the application during any stage of the process. This control begins from the entry of raw material to the plant and continues with pre-determined points. Mainly two different types of inspection and analyses are used to examine the material quality and content. These are physical and chemical analysis.In most of the production plants above mentioned anal...
