    The Quasi-Static Crush Response of Electron-Beam Ti6al4v Body-Centred Lattices: The Effect of the Number of Cells, Strut Diameter and Face Sheet
    (Wiley, 2022) Güden, Mustafa; Alpkaya, Alican Tuncay; Arslan Hamat, Burcu; Hızlı, Burak; Taşdemirci, Alper; Tanrıkulu, A. Alptuğ; Yavaş, Hakan
    The effect of the number of cells, strut diameter and face sheet on the compression of electron-beam-melt (EBM) Ti6Al4V (Ti64) body-centred-cubic (BCC) lattices was investigated experimentally and numerically. The lattices with the same relative density (~0.182) were fabricated with and without 2-mm-thick face sheets in 10 and 5 mm cell size, 8–125 unit cell (two to five cells/edge) and 2 and 1 mm strut diameter. The experimental compression tests were further numerically simulated in the LS-DYNA. Experimentally two bending-dominated crushing modes, namely, lateral and diagonal layer crushing, were determined. The numerical models however exhibited merely a bending-dominated lateral layer crushing mode when the erosion strain was 0.4 and without face-sheet models showed a diagonal layer crushing mode when the erosion strain was 0.3. Lower erosion strains promoted a diagonal layer crushing mode by introducing geometrical inhomogeneity to the lattice, leading to strain localisation as similar to the face sheets which introduced extensive strut bending in the layers adjacent to the face sheets. The face-sheet model showed a higher but decreasing collapse strength at an increasing number of cells, just as opposite to the without face-sheet model, and the collapse strength of both models converged when the number of cells was higher than five-cell/edge. The decrease/increase of the collapse strengths of lattices before the critical number of cells was claimed mainly due to the size-imposed lattice boundary condition, rather than the specimen volume. The difference in the experimental collapse strengths between the 5- and the 10-mm cell-size lattices was ascribed to the variations in the microstructures—hence the material model parameters between the small-diameter and the large-diameter EBM-Ti64 strut lattices.

    Comparing Compression Deformation and Rate Sensitivity of Additively Manufactured and Extruded-Annealed 316l Alloys
    (Springer, 2021) Enser, Samed; Yavaş, Hakan; Arslan Hamat, Burcu; Aydın, Hüseyin; Kafadar, Gülten; Tanrıkulu, A. Alptuğ; Zeytin Kazdal, Havva; Öztürk, Fahrettin; Güden, Mustafa
    The deformation behavior of a selective-laser-melt-processed 316-L alloy (SLM-316L) under compression was determined together with a commercial annealed-extruded 316L alloy bar (C-316L) for comparison. Strain rate jump tests and hardness tests on the untested and compression tested samples were also performed. Extensive microscopic observations on the deformed and undeformed samples showed a twinning-dominated deformation in SLM-316L, similar to twinning-induced-plasticity steels, while a martensitic transformation-dominated deformation in C-316L alloy, similar to transformation-induced-plasticity steels. Within the studied quasi-static strain rate regime, the measured higher strain rate sensitivity of SLM-316L was ascribed to the lower distances between the nano-twins, in the level of 100 nm, than the distances between martensite plates, in the level of 1000 nm. A higher hardness increase in the martensite transformation region as compared with the twinned region proved the higher work hardening of C-316L. The hardness tests in the micron and sub-micron levels further confirmed the previously determined relatively low resistances of the dislocation cell walls (sub-grain) to the dislocation motion in SLM-316L alloy.
