    Microstructural Characterization of Industrial Chromite and Spinel Cement Kiln Refractories With Emphasis on the Iron-Rich Rims
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Mercanköşk, Y.; Akkurt, Sedat; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin
    Magnesia-chromite (MgO + MgO·Cr2O3) and magnesia-spinel (MgO + MgO·Al2O3) refractory bricks that are used in the high temperature zones of rotary cement kilns are investigated for their microstructural characteristics. Their microstructures are important because the size, shape and distribution of periclase grains, chromites and the quality of their bonding phases significantly affect their service performances. The purpose of this study was to characterize the microstructures of industrial brick samples to develop a protocol to compare different products e.g. for evaluation as replacement bricks. In some of the chromite containing bricks iron-rich rims were observed, while a domestic brick with similar chemistry had no such feature. These iron-rich rims were examined using SEM-EDS. It was found that the counter-diffusion of Fe+3 and Cr+3 were responsible for their formation. Exsolved chrome-spinel was widely observed in the microstructures of chromite bricks. Magnesia-spinel bricks were found to contain low melting calcium aluminates as bond phases in the microstructure, posing a threat to service performance. Portmortem microanalysis of industrially used bricks revealed alkali attack in addition to creep as main destruction mechanisms for brick. Traces of elements like Mo, S and alkalies were observed and thought to originate from the use of waste derived fuels.

    Mechanical Properties of Hydroxyapatite Composites Reinforced With Hydroxyapatite Whiskers
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Şimşek, Deniz; Çiftçioğlu, Rukiye; Güden, Mustafa; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Harsa, Hayriye Şebnem
    Sintering and mechanical behavior of pure and hydroxyapatite (HA) whisker reinforced HA composites were investigated in this work. Pure and composite samples were prepared by using a commercial powder and whiskers prepared by molten salt synthesis. The dry-pressed samples were sintered in the 800 and 1300°C range. The effect of whisker-addition on the mechanical properties of HA was investigated through compression and hardness testing. Compressive strength and fracture strain were observed to increase by the addition of whiskers.

    Preparation and Characterization of Nanocrystalline Titania
    (Türk Seramik Derneği, 2001) Çağlar, Özlem; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Güden, Mustafa
    Nanokristal seramikler, ileri seramiklerin gelecekteki uygulamalannda önemli etkileri olabilecek özgün kimyasal, fiziksel ve mekanik özelliklere sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, tItanyum; izopropoksit'ten titan seramikleri hazırlanması ve karakterizasyonu incelendi. Şekillendirilmiş yapılar 650-850 C aralığında hava ortamında sinterlendi. Sol-jel prosesi ve jellerin kontrollü kurutulması ile elde edilen seramiklerin yoğunluklan teorik yoğrunluğun %79-99' u olarak bulundu. Sollar, jeller ve çökertme yöntemleriyle hazırlanan tozlardan preslenen peletlerin sinterlerne işlemi öncesi ve sonrası yoğunlukları sırasıyla teorik yoğunluğun %40-52 ve %55-83' ü olarak bulundu.

    Alüminyum Oksit Uzun Fiber Destekli Mg Matris Kompozitlerin Statik ve Yüksek Hız Basma Davranışı
    (Pamukkale Üniversitesi, 2004) Akil, Övünç; Güden, Mustafa; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Hall, Ian W.; Taşdemirci, Alper
    Bu çalışmada uzun alüminyum oksit (FP™) fiber destekli magnezyum matris kompozitlerin enine basma davranışının deformasyon hızına bağlı değişimi araştırılmıştır. Silindirik numuneler fiber doğrultusuna dik yönde değişik uzama oranlarında Split Hopkinson basınç çubuğu ve statik mekanik test cihazı kullanılarak test edilmiş uzama-gerilme ilişkileri incelenmiştir. Bunun yanında optik mikroskop ve SEM kullanılarak kırılma mekaniği belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda malzemenin enine basma mukavemetinin deformasyon hızı ile arttığı tespit edilmiş olup mikro-yapı incelemesinde deformasyonun ikizlenme ve kayma ile gerçekleştiği belirlenmiştir.

    Preparation and Microstuructural Development of Nanocrystalline Titania and Alumina
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Çağlar Duvarcı, Özlem; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Güden, Mustafa; Arıkut, G.
    The preparation of nanocrystalline titania and alumina was investigated by sol-gel methods using titanium isopropoxide, boehmite and aluminum isopropoxide. Various drying control chemical additives like oxalic acid, acetic acid and polyacrylic acid were used for modifying the drying behaviour and shrinkage of the gels. The sintered densities of the ceramics prepared by sol-gel processing and the dried gels were in the 79-99% of theoretical density for rutile. The green and sintered densities of the pellets prepared by uniaxial pressing of powders derived from sols, gels and precipitation techniques for titania were in the 40-52% and 55-83% respectively. The titania ceramics were observed to experience anatase-rutile phase transformation upon heat treatment at 650oC. The grain size of the sintered ceramics at 650oC was determined to be about 26 nm. Grain size of titania increased to 213 nm. at 850oC. The mechanical properties of these nanocrystalline ceramics were investigated by using microhardness testing.
