Kılıç, Gülten
In this study, the effect of sinter-hardening on the mechanical properties of Distaloy DH (Fe-2Cu-1.5Mo) powder with 0.4%, 0.6%, and 0,8% graphite additions, was investigated. Powder samples were pressed under 600 MPa, and sintered at 1120°C under endogas from methane for 20 minutes in an industrial sintering furnace. After sintering the samples were cooled with three different cooling rates (0.5°C/sec,1.5°C/sec, and 3°C/sec). Microstructural characterization of samples were done with optical and electron microscopy. Selective etching was utilized in determining the amount of pearlite in samples. The study showed that after sintering, a cooling rate of 0.5°C/s led to decreasing amounts of pearlite in all the Distaloy DH samples with increasing amount of carbon. With increase in the cooling rates to 3°C/s, Distaloy DH-0.4%C sample containis small amount of pearlite, whereas the alloys Distaloy DH–0.6%C and Distaloy DH-0.8%C led to bainitc and martensitic microstructures.

In this thesis study, the effect of sinter hardening on mechanical properties of Astaloy 85 Mo (Fe - 0.85% Mo) powder with addition of 0.8% C and varying copper contents (1% Cu, 2% Cu) was examined. Powder mixes were compacted under 600 MPa. After compaction, the samples were sintered at 1120oC under endogas from methane in an industrial sintering furnace and were sinter-hardened with three different cooling rates (0.5oC/sec., 1.5oC/sec., 3oC/sec.). The study revealed that the cooling rate does not make cri...

Sayılgan, Seda; Kalkanlı, Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2009)
In the present study, the powder metallurgy was evaluated as a technique to produce high performance Al – 8Fe – 1.7V – 7.9Si (wt%) alloys for elevated temperature applications and the role of powder particle size range and extrusion ratio in the microstructural and mechanical properties of the extruded alloys was investigated. For this purpose, an air atomization method was employed to produce powders of the high temperature alloy and after that the produced powders were sieved and cold compacted. The compa...
