The purpose of this study is to estimate the residual stress state in steel weldments by using Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) technique. For obtaining accurate, fast and continuous residual stress measurements a set up for single pass welded plates was designed and used. In order to convert the MBN values to residual stress values a calibration set up was also designed and a procedure for obtaining calibration curves was developed. After welding of low-C steel plates, residual stresses on heat affected zone (HAZ) and parent metal were measured by MBN technique. The results were verified by the hole drilling method. Microstructural investigation and hardness measurements were also conducted.

Experimental investigation of residual stresses introduced via shot peening and their effect on fatigue life of ball bearings
Küçükyılmaz, Ali; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2010)
In this study, residual stresses introduced via application of shot peening on the raceways of bearing rings and their effect on the fatigue life was investigated experimentally. For improvement of residual compressive stress state, shot peening operation with different parameters was utilized. Residual stress measurements were conducted via X-ray diffraction technique. Optimization of residual stress state during the production of ball bearings is the main target of this study. Process parameters for shot ...
Nano-scale phase separation and glass forming ability of iron-boron based metallic glasses
Aykol, Muratahan; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008)
This study is pertinent to setting a connection between glass forming ability (GFA) and topology of Fe-B based metallic glasses by combining intimate investigations on spatial atomic arrangements conducted via solid computer simulations with experimentations on high GFA bulk metallic glasses. In order to construct a theoretical framework, the nano-scale phase separation encountered in metallic glasses is investigated for amorphous Fe80B20 and Fe83B17 alloys via Monte Carlo equilibration and reverse Monte Ca...
Processing and assessment of aluminum ceramic fiber reinforced aluminum metal matrix composite parts for automotive and defense applications
Türkyılmaz, Gökhan; Kalkanlı, Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2009)
The aim of this study was to produce partially reinforced aluminum metal matrix composite components by insertion casting technique and to determine the effects of silicon content, fiber vol% and infiltration temperature on the mechanical properties of inserts, which were the local reinforcement parts of the components. Silicon content of alloys was selected as 7 wt% and 10 wt%. The reinforcement material, i.e. Saffil fiber preforms, had three different fiber vol% of 20, 25 and 30 vol% respectively. The inf...
Modification of calcium carbonate surfaces in natural gas plasma for their use in polypropylene composite systems
Öztürk, Serhat; Akovalı, Güneri; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2006)
In this study calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles are surface modified by using plasma polymerized natural gas and effects of surface modification of CaCO3 filler on mechanical properties of CaCO3-PP composites are investigated. Different combination of plasma factors; RF power, natural gas flow rate, and plasma discharge durations, are investigated. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength and Young’s Modulus are measured by tensile testing machine. Storage modulus and loss modulus measurements are d...
Investigations on bulk glass forming ability of titanium based multicomponent alloys
Süer, Sıla; Mekhrabov, Amdulla O.; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008)
The aim of this study is to investigate the bulk glass forming ability (BGFA) of Ti-based alloy systems. These investigations were carried out in two main parts that are complementary to each other: theoretical and experimental. For theoretical studies, which are based on electronic theory of alloys in pseudopotential approximation, Ti-Zr, Ti-Co and Ti-Cu alloys were chosen as the binary systems. Alloying element additions were performed to each binary for the investigation of the BGFA of multicomponent Ti-...
