Alptuğ; Yavaş, HakanThe 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.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Comparing 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, MustafaThe 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.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9The Increased Compression Strength of an Epoxy Resin With the Addition of Heat-Treated Natural Nano-Structured Diatom Frustules(SAGE Publications Inc., 2017) Zeren, Doğuş; Güden, MustafaNatural diatom frustules composing nanometer size silica particles were heat-treated at temperatures between 600 and 1200℃ for 2 h and used as filler/reinforcing agent (15 wt%) in an epoxy resin. The opal structure of as-received natural diatom frustules was transformed into cristobalite after the heat-treatment above 900℃. The epoxy resin test samples reinforced with heat-treated and as-received frustules and neat epoxy test samples were compression tested at the quasi-static strain rate of 7 × 10−3 s−1. The results showed that the inclusion of the frustules heat-treated at 1000℃ increased the compressive yield strength of the resin by 50%, while the addition of the diatom frustules heat-treated above and below 1000℃ and the as-received frustules increased the strength by ∼25% and 16%, respectively. The heat treatment above 1000℃ decreased the surface area of the frustules from 8.23 m2 g−1 to 3.46 m2 g−1. The cristobalite grains of the frustules heat-treated at 1000℃ was smaller than 100 nm, while the grain size increased to ∼500 nm at 1200℃. The increased compressive stresses of the resin at the specific heat treatment temperature (1000℃) were ascribed to nano size crystalline cristobalite grains. The relatively lower compressive stresses of the epoxy resin filled with frustules heat-treated above 1000℃ were attributed to the micro-cracking of the frustules that might be resulted from higher density of the cristobalite than that of the opal and accompanying reduction of the surface area and the surface pore sizes that might impair the resin-frustule interlocking and intrusion.Article Citation - WoS: 37Citation - Scopus: 42Effects of Compaction Pressure and Particle Shape on the Porosity and Compression Mechanical Properties of Sintered Ti6al4v Powder Compacts for Hard Tissue Implantation(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2007) Güden, Mustafa; Çelik, Emrah; Hızal, Alpay; Altındiş, Mustafa; Çetiner, SinanSintered Ti6Al4V powder compacts potentially to be used in implant applications were prepared using commercially available spherical and angular powders (100-200 mum) within the porosity range of 34-54%. Cylindrical green powder compacts were cold compacted at various pressures and then sintered at 1200 degrees C for 2 h. The final percent porosity and mean pore sizes were determined as functions of the applied compaction pressure and powder type. The mechanical properties were investigated through compression testing. Results have shown that yield strength of the powder compacts of 40-42% porosity was comparable with that of human cortical bone. As compared with previously investigated Ti powder compacts, Ti6Al4V powder compacts showed higher strength at similar porosity range. Microscopic observations on the failed compact samples revealed that failure occurred primarily by the separation of interparticle bond regions in the planes 45 degrees to the loading axis.
