Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Influence of Oscillating Fiber Laser Welding Process Parameters on the Fatigue Response and Mechanical Performance of Butt-Jointed Twip980 Steels(Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2025) Cavusoglu, Oktay; Aydin, Hakan; Eroglu, Mehmet; Davut, KemalIn this study, the effect of laser power, welding speed, linear heat inputs on the mechanical performance of TWIP980 steels joined by oscillating fiber laser welding in butt welding configuration was investigated. Oscillating fiber laser welding were changed: laser power from 1.2 to 1.6 kW, welding speed from 20 to 30 mm s-1, linear heat input from 40 to 80 J mm-1. The tensile, hardness and fatigue tests were carried out to determine mechanical performance. A significant improvement in weld penetration, fatigue performance and mechanical properties was detected at linear heat inputs above 53.33 J mm-1. The best mechanical properties were obtained at 1.6 kW laser power and 25 mm s-1 welding speed. The study reveals that linear heat inputs, laser power, and welding speed have significant effects on mechanical performance and weld geometry. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that oscillating fiber laser welding enables good weldability even at low laser power.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 10Influence of the Heat Treatment on the Microstructure, Mechanical and High-Temperature Oxidation Behavior of Hastelloy X Alloy Fabricated Via Laser Powder Bed Fusion(Elsevier Science Sa, 2025) Ozer, Seren; Yalcin, Mustafa Alp; Bilgin, Gueney Mert; Davut, Kemal; Esen, Ziya; Dericioglu, Arcan F.The effect of building direction and heat treatment on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and high- temperature oxidation behavior of Hastelloy X (HX) alloy fabricated by the laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) method was studied. Electron backscatter diffraction analyses revealed that the development of textured columnar grains with varying average grain sizes, boundary fractions, and dislocation densities induced the mechanical anisotropy observed in both horizontally and vertically fabricated samples. The yield strength (YS) values of the horizontally and vertically as-fabricated samples were determined as 605.7 +/- 15.9 MPa and 552.3 +/- 8.5 MPa, respectively. The post-processing heat treatment increased the ductility remarkably and reduced YS value down to similar to 445 MPa for all samples by the elimination of microstructural anisotropy and increased grain size subsequent to recrystallization. Oxidation tests conducted at 900 degrees C up to 100 h on as- fabricated samples exhibited severe intergranular oxidation, which was accompanied by the formation of large voids and microcracks as well as spallation of the oxide layer. In contrast, the heat-treatment improved the oxidation resistance of the alloy possibly due to the formation of uniform and dense Cr2O3 layer on the substrate surface.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2The Spheroidization Behavior of Low Alloy White Cast Iron and Its Effect on Impact Toughness and Wear Resistance(Elsevier Science Sa, 2025) Camkerten, Ruziye; Davut, Kemal; Yilmaz, Tolga; Nalcaci, Burak; Erdogan, MehmetThe effect of spheroidization on impact toughness and wear resistance, together with the spheroidization kinetics of a low alloy white cast iron (LAWCI) have been studied. Spheroidization process was carried out using two different routes; intercritical annealing and subcritical annealing both of which were followed by furnace cooling to room temperature. Both routes involve a process window, which is determined by holding time and temperature. For the intercritical annealing the spheroidization window is significantly shorter (0.5-3 h) than the conventional subcritical spheroidization (6 - 12 h); and that process window narrows with increasing intercritical annealing temperature. The intercritical spheroidization involves 3 distinct stages; (i) partial, followed by (ii) fully spheroidization of lamellar pearlitic matrix by divorced eutectoid transformation (DET); and (iii) partially spheroidization by pearlitic structure formation in previous fully spheroidized region. The end of third stage produces almost fully pearlitic matrix, which is coarser than the as-cast condition. In case of subcritical spheroidization, the process window opens after about 6 hours and the size of spherical carbides gets larger with time. The as-cast LAWCI having a microstructure composed of eutectic carbide network and pearlite matrix exhibits and impact toughness of 4.6 J. Spheroidization process not only changes the lamellar pearlitic structure into spheroidized carbides but also slightly reduces the amount of eutectic carbides. Those microstructural changes greatly improve the impact toughness of LAWCI up to 11.8 J; whereas some decrease in the wear resistance. For spheroidized LAWCI, mean diameter of carbides (D), interparticle spacing of carbides (s), and number of carbides per area (n) seems to be important microstructural variations to determine the impact toughness and wear properties. Taking properties of the current material into consideration, spheroidized white cast irons may be a viable alternative material for industrial applications, offering a trade-off between wear resistance and toughness.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 11Effect of Aging Treatment on the Microstructure, Cracking Type and Crystallographic Texture of In939 Fabricated by Powder Bed Fusion-Laser Beam(Elsevier, 2024) Ozer, Seren; Dogu, Merve Nur; Ozdemirel, Ceren; Bilgin, Guney Mert; Gunes, Mert; Davut, Kemal; Brabazon, DermotThis study aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how aging treatments (namely, HT1 and HT2) affect the microstructure, cracking behavior, and crystallographic texture of IN939 fabricated by powder bed fusion-laser beam (PBF-LB) method. Although both aged samples demonstrated similar grain structure and recrystallization behavior according to the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis, as well as the precipitation of bimodal gamma ' phase and MC- and M23C6-type carbides, notable differences were observed in the size and morphology, particularly the gamma ' phase. The HT1 sample displayed coarsened primary gamma ' phase, with sizes reaching up to 2 mu m and exhibiting varied morphologies, including irregular and cuboidal shapes. Additionally, this treatment led to the formation of some gamma '-gamma eutectic regions and plate-like eta phase, along with the decomposition of MC-type carbides into M23C6-type carbides. In contrast, the HT2 sample displayed uniformly distributed spherical primary gamma ' phase with sizes ranging from 70 to 120 nm, accompanied by very fine secondary gamma ' phase. Furthermore, it was found that changes in both aged sample microstructures could result in the formation of strain-age cracks due to the gamma ' phase formation and liquation cracks due to the partial remelting of lower melting point phases. The findings also revealed that with the application of aging treatments, the hardness of the as-fabricated sample (339.8 +/- 3.4 HV) increased to 440.2 +/- 5.6 HV and 508.1 +/- 4.8 HV for the heat treatment of HT1 and HT2, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 25Effect of Solution Heat Treatment on the Microstructure and Crystallographic Texture of In939 Fabricated by Powder Bed Fusion-Laser Beam(Elsevier, 2023) Doğu, Merve Nur; Özer, Seren; Yalçın, Mustafa Alp; Davut, Kemal; Bilgin, Guney Mert; Obeidi, Muhannad Ahmed; Brodin, Hakan; Gu, Hengfeng; Brabazon, DermotThe effect of various solution heat treatment temperatures (i.e., 1120, 1160, 1200 and 1240 & DEG;C) on the microstructure, grain morphology and crystallographic texture of IN939 fabricated by powder bed fusion-laser beam (PBF-LB) was investigated. Microstructural analyses showed that the high-temperature gradient and rapid solidification of the PBF-LB processing caused different resulting microstructures compared to conventionally pro-duced counterparts. The melt pool morphologies and laser scanning paths were examined in the as-fabricated samples in the XZ-and XY-planes, respectively. After the application of solution heat treatment at 1120 & DEG;C, the as-fabricated PBF-LB initial microstructure was still apparent. For solution heat treatments of 1200 & DEG;C and above, the melt pool and scanning path morphologies disappeared and converted into a mixture of columnar grains in the XZ-plane and equiaxed grains in the XY-plane. On the other hand, large equiaxed grains were observed when the samples were solutionized at 1240 & DEG;C. Additionally, g' phase precipitated within the matrix after all solution heat treatment conditions, which led to increase in the microhardness values. According to electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analyses, both as-fabricated and solution heat-treated samples had intense texture with {001} plane normal parallel to the building direction. The first recrystallized grains began to appear when the samples were subjected to the solution heat treatment at 1160 & DEG;C and the fraction of the recrystallized grains increased with increasing temperature, as supported by kernel average misorientation (KAM) and grain spread orientation (GOS) analyses.& COPY; 2023 The Author(s).

Laser power (1500-2500 W) and welding speed (40-120 mm/s) parameters are considered as the input process variables. Depending on the input parameters, the applied heat input varied between 12.5 and 62.5 J/mm. The results indicate that a minimum heat input of 50 J/mm is required for full weld penetration. Microhardness findings revealed that the drop in hardness in the HAZ region relative to the base material (BM) reached 39% due to grain coarsening caused by an increase in heat input under the welding conditions. Grain coarsening (prior austenite grains) is also detected in SEM analysis. In addition, grain coarsening at high heat input was also determined quantitatively in EBSD analyses. The proportion of 8.91 mu m grain size in the sample with high heat input is 4.2%, while it is 1.2% in the sample with low heat input. When the heat input increased from 12.5 to 62.5 J/mm, the width of the softened zone with the lowest hardnesses in the HAZ grew from 0.2 mm to 2.2 mm.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Effect of Coiling Temperature on the Structure and Properties of Thermo-Mechanically Rolled S700mc Steel(Technical Faculty in Bor, 2022) Di Nunzio, P. E.; Cesile, M. C.; Oktay, S.; Davut, Kemal; Şeşen, M. K.The boron-free S700MC steel is usually produced by exploiting the properties of a ferrite-bainite mixed microstructure formed by coiling the strips at a temperature of about 450 degrees C, i.e.below the bainite starting temperature. With the aim of further enhancing the mechanical properties of 6 to 10 mm thick strips, industrial tests were carried out at a coiling temperature of 600 degrees C to promote the formation of a structure of ferrite and carbides, which is also acceptable for this type of steel. Unexpectedly, a microstructure composed of ferrite and martensite was obtained. Compared to the ferritic-bainitic grade, the new structure is characterized by a slight decrease of the yield point but by an increase of the ultimate tensile strength by no less than 80 MPa, with a transition from a quasi-discontinuous to a clearly continuous yielding behaviour. Accordingly, the ratio of yield strength to tensile strength decreases from 0.90 to 0.75 and the impact energy decreases by 35 J and 60 J for the two gauge levels, respectively. The mechanical behaviour of the strips coiled at high temperature is explained as a direct consequence of the dual phase structure with a hard phase interspersed in a soft ferrite matrix. The presence of martensite is explained by the so-called incomplete bainite reaction. The partial transformation into ferrite after coiling and the long time required for the coil to cool down stabilize the untransformed austenite due to the carbon enrichment making bainite formation at lower temperatures impossible.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 13An Experimental Study on the Ballistic Performance of Ultra-High Hardness Armor Steel (armox 600t) Against 7.62 Mm × 51 M61 Ap Projectile in the Multi-Hit Condition(Elsevier, 2023) Göde, Engin; Teoman, Atanur; Çetin, Barış; Tonbul, Kürşat; Davut, Kemal; Kuşhan, Melih CemalIn this study, Armox 600T armor steel was ballistically tested against 7.62 mm × 51 M61 AP projectile. The experimental design was constructed on the basis of the worst-case scenario which is the highest possible impact velocity in the multi-hit condition. The ballistic tests revealed that Armox 600T could defeat the worst-case scenario with a thickness of 12 mm. Furthermore, the damaged and undamaged regions were inspected microstructurally in a detail manner aiming to observe the possible fractographic modes of the studied material. Finally, high resolution optical scanning efforts were also added to the experimental work whose results uncovers the possible improvement areas regarding the quantification of the results of ballistic testing.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9The Strain Rate History Effect in a Selective-Laser 316l Stainless Steel(Elsevier, 2023) Enser, Samed; Güden, Mustafa; Taşdemirci, Alper; Davut, KemalThe strain rate history effect in a selective laser melt 316L (SLM-316L) alloy was investigated through quasi-static (10−3 s−1) and high strain rate (1600-3200 s−1) interrupted and reloading compression tests. The specimens pre-tested until about prescribed strains at quasi-static and high strain rates were reloaded dynamically and quasi-statically, respectively. The results revealed that the flow stress depended on strain and strain rate as well as strain-rate history. Quasi-static reloading the dynamically pre-tested specimens until about prescribed strains induced a higher flow stress than the specimens tested quasi-statically. The strengthening was ∼70 MPa at 0.11 pre-strain and decreased as the dynamic test pre-strain was increased due to adiabatic heating. On the other side, reloading the quasi-statically pre-tested specimens dynamically at 0.11 pre-strain resulted in ∼60 MPa lower flow stress than the specimens tested dynamically. The grains of the quasi-statically tested specimens until 0.11 strain were shown to have a lower Taylor factor for twinning and geometrically necessary dislocation density, indicating more potential for twinning than dynamically tested specimen. Although, quasi-statically and dynamically tested specimens were deformed predominantly by the twinning induced plasticity, a higher fraction of twin boundaries was shown microscopically in the dynamically pre-tested specimens until 0.11 pre-strain. This phenomenon of boundary strengthening could be used as a tool of strengthening of SLM-316L alloy at low strains.Article Citation - WoS: 45Citation - Scopus: 48Recrystallization and Grain Growth Kinetics of In718 Manufactured by Laser Powder Bed Fusion(Elsevier, 2022) Doğu, Merve Nur; Davut, Kemal; Obeidi, Muhannad Ahmed; Yalçın, Mustafa Alp; Gu, Hengfeng; Low, Thaddeus Song En; Ginn, Jon; Brabazon, DermotThe recrystallization and grain growth behaviour of IN718 alloy additively manufactured by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is presented herein. The effects of three different temperatures (1050, 1150 and 1250 °C) and holding times (15, 45 and 90 min) were investigated. The texture evolution of the samples was recorded via electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The as-built sample is composed of bowl-shaped melt pools, a chessboard-like grain pattern and has a cube texture {100}<001>. Recrystallized grains were observed in the samples treated at 1150 °C for 15 min, as well as the samples treated for longer periods and at higher temperatures. Recrystallization was observed to start from high dislocation density regions, including the overlapping melt pools and the borders of the chessboard-like pattern. The initial cube texture transforms into a first-generation cube-twin texture {122}<212> via a twinning-assisted recrystallization mechanism. Then, those recrystallization nuclei sweep through the high defect density matrix; during which almost no new twins are formed. The samples treated at 1250 °C are almost completely recrystallized, which forms a weaker cube texture and a stronger P-orientation {011}<112>. However, the growth of recrystallized grains is very limited due to the presence of non-coherent precipitates.
