Article Microstructure-Based Prediction of Mechanical Properties of Austempered Ductile Iron Using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis(Springer int Publ Ag, 2025) Yalcin, M. Alp; Davut, KemalMultiple linear regression analysis (MLRA) was used to predict the mechanical properties of austempered ductile iron (ADI) including yield and tensile strength, uniform elongation, hardening exponent, as well as fracture energy by building a model that uses characteristic features of microstructural constituents as input parameters. The complex multi-scale microstructure of ADI, which is composed of spherical graphite particles over 10 mu m diameter; and an ausferritic matrix with sub-micron sized features, makes it ideal for prediction of mechanical properties. For that purpose, low alloyed ductile iron samples austempered between 300 and 400 degrees C for 45-180 min were tensile tested, and also multi-scale microstructural characterization were carried out using optical microscope, SEM, and EBSD technique. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis was performed to determine which microstructural parameter(s) each mechanical property is most sensitive to. The results show that tensile and yield strength are most sensitive to size and morphology of matrix phases. Moreover, the size and aspect ratio of acicular ferrite correlate well with those of high-carbon austenite; since both form during transformation of parent austenite into ausferrite during austempering treatment. Equiaxed parent austenite grains transform into ausferrite with acicular morphology during the austempering treatment; and presence of equiaxed austenite grains in the austempered samples indicates untransformed regions during austempering treatment. Ductility was found to be more sensitive to nodularity of graphite particles, and this sensitivity was attributed to the size difference between graphite particles and grain size of matrix phases.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8A Comprehensive Study of the Effect of Scanning Strategy on In939 Fabricated by Powder Bed Fusion-Laser Beam(Elsevier, 2024) Dogu, Merve Nur; Ozer, Seren; Yalcin, Mustafa Alp; Davut, Kemal; Obeidi, Muhannad Ahmed; Simsir, Caner; Brabazon, DermotThis study provides a comprehensive investigation into the effects of different scanning strategies on the material properties of IN939 fabricated using the PBF-LB process. The scanning strategies examined included alternating bi-directional scanning with rotation angles of 0 degrees, 45 degrees, 67 degrees, and 90 degrees between adjacent layers (named as shown), as well as alternating chessboard scanning with rotation angles of 67 degrees and 90 degrees (named as Q67 degrees and Q90 degrees). The results revealed that the 45 degrees and 67 degrees samples had the highest relative density, while the 0 degrees and Q67 degrees samples showed the highest average porosity. Moreover, various types of cracks, including solidification, solid-state, and oxide-induced cracks, were observed. Among the bi-directional scan samples, the 0 degrees sample displayed the most extensive cracking and the highest sigma max residual stress values in both XZ and XY planes. Conversely, the 45 degrees and 67 degrees samples exhibited fewer cracks. Notably, the lowest sigma max residual stress in the XZ planes among the bidirectional scan samples was observed in the 67 degrees sample. Additionally, microstructural analyses indicated differences in grain size and morphology, among the samples. Texture analysis indicated that the 0 degrees and 90 degrees samples exhibited strong cube textures, whereas the texture intensity weakened for the 45 degrees and 67 degrees samples. Moreover, the alternating chessboard scanning strategy led to rougher surfaces (higher Sa and Sz values) compared to the alternating bi-directional scanning strategy, regardless of the rotation angles. Furthermore, the microhardness values among the samples showed minimal variance, ranging between 321 + 14 HV and 356+ 7 HV.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 2Mechanical Performance of Metallic Biomaterials(Elsevier, 2023) Uzer-Yilmaz,B.Metallic biomaterials prevail over other classes of biomaterials with their synergistic combination of superior mechanical properties, corrosion and wear resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Titanium and its alloys, stainless steels, and Co–Cr alloys have been the mostly preferred metallic biomaterials, though each exhibits significantly different mechanical performance in the body. Chemical composition, microstructure, or applied processing can significantly affect their performances. This chapter explains the phenomenon and mechanisms underlying the mechanical behavior of metallic biomaterials and induced biological responses. Methods to improve these properties are reviewed by referring to in vivo and in vitro examples. Failure of metallic implants and mechanisms leading to unsuccessful treatment are explained. Finally, future prospect of metallic biomaterials and manufacturing processes is discussed. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

A brown tint coloration formed Al2O3 oxide, pores, a 124.4% increase in the average particle size, a 10.2% decrease in the powder circularity, and a 7.5% decrease in the powder aspect ratio were observed in the spatter powder. Additionally, higher average grain size and lower nanohardness were obtained for the spatter powder. In order to understand the effect of a certain amount of spatter powder on the part quality, 10 wt% spatter powder was mixed with the virgin powder. This addition was found to decrease the flowability of the powder. Moreover, this addition decreased relative density by around 0.3% and increased surface roughness by around 80.8% in the fabricated samples (termed as V and SV). On the other hand, there was no considerable microstructural, texture, microhardness, and nanohardness difference between V and SV samples, although the spatter powder addition caused a 30.2% increase in the average grain size of SV. The overall texture for both V and SV samples exhibit (00 1)//BD.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Nondestructive Microstructural Characterization of Austempered Ductile Iron(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2023) Tüzün, Mert Yağız; Yalçın, Mustafa Alp; Davut, Kemal; Kılıçlı, VolkanAustempered ductile iron (ADI) has been preferred in a wide range of applications due its unique combination of high strength, good ductility, wear resistance and fracture toughness together with lower cost and lower density compared to steels. Magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) measurement offers a better alternative to traditional characterization techniques by being fast and non-destructive. A simple linear regression using only one single independent variable cannot correlate the MBN with the microstructure of ADI, since its microstructure is multi component. Multiple linear regression analysis (MLRA) was used to build a model that uses the characteristic features of microstructural constituents as input parameters to predict the MBN. For that purpose, Cu-Ni-Mo alloyed ductile iron samples austempered between 325 and 400 degrees C and for 45-180 min duration were used. The results show that MBN is most sensitive to the size and shape of acicular ferrite and retained austenite. Moreover, MBN is almost insensitive to the size, morphology and volume fraction of graphite particles. This indicates that retained austenite pins the domain walls more effectively than the graphite particles. Considering the results MLRA, MBN technique can be used to characterize the ausferritic microstructure of ADI.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Effects of Tib2 Nanoparticle Content on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Aluminum Matrix Nanocomposites(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2017) Kandemir, SinanThe present work reports the fabrication of A357 alloy matrix nanocomposites reinforced with 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 wt.-% TiB2 nanoparticles (20-30 nm) by a novel method which is the combination of semi-solid mechanical mixing and ultrasonic dispersion of nanoparticles in liquid state. The microstructural and mechanical properties of the fabricated nanocomposites were investigated. The microstructural studies conducted with optical and advanced electron microscopes indicated that reasonably effective deagglomeration and uniform distribution of TiB2 nanoparticles into the matrix were achieved. Transmission electron microscopy studies also confirmed that the nanoparticles were embedded into the matrix and a good bonding was obtained between the matrix and the reinforcement. Increasing nanoparticle content led to grain refinement and significant enhancement in the mechanical properties of nanocomposites. The addition of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 wt.-% TiB2 nanoparticles increased the 0.2 % proof stress of matrix alloy by approximately 31, 48 and 61 %, respectively. The contribution of different mechanisms to the strength enhancement is discussed. It is proposed that the strengthening is mainly due to Orowan mechanism and dislocation generation effect by the coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch between the TiB2 nanoparticles and the matrix.Conference Object Development of Graphene Nanoplatelets Reinforced Aluminium Matrix Nanocomposites by a Combination of Semi-Solid Stirring and Ultrasonic Treatment(European Conference on Composite Materials, 2016) Kandemir, Sinan; Aydoğan, YücelGraphene Nanoplatelets (GNPs) consisting of graphene layers with a thickness less than 100 nm have recently emerged as a promising reinforcement type owing to their excellent physical and mechanical properties to improve mechanical properties of alloys beyond ceramic nanoparticles. Although there are numerous studies on GNPs reinforced polymer matrix composites in the literature, the number of studies related to the incorporation of GNPs in metal matrices is limited. It is a challenging task to incorporate and uniformly distribute GNPs into liquid metals due to their poor wettability and large surface-to-volume ratio. The purpose of this study is to effectively disperse GNPs into liquid aluminium. 0.5 wt.% GNPs with an average thickness of 50-100 nm and size of 5 ?m were first incorporated into A360 aluminium alloy under semi-solid stirring, and then the composite was ultrasonically treated in fully liquid state. The microstructural investigation of the nanocomposites by optical and scanning electron microscopy may suggest that relatively uniform distribution and effective deagglomeration of GNPs in the matrix were achieved. The hardness of the GNPs reinforced nanocomposites increased in comparison with that of semi-solid stirred and ultrasonically processed A360 alloy without reinforcement, indicating the potential of GNPs for strengthening metals. © 2016, European Conference on Composite Materials, ECCM.
