Editorial Materials Science and Engineering for Circularity: Challenges, Strategies and Solution(Elsevier, 2026) Beck, Gesa; Balle, Frank; Gokelma, Mertol; Shamsuyeva, Madina; Perotto, Giovanni; Gulia, KiranArticle A Critical Analysis of Pulverization Mechanism During Hydrogen Decrepitation of End-Of Ndfeb Magnets(Elsevier Science Sa, 2025) Habibzadeh, Alireza; Gokelma, MertolGiven the increasing demand and limited availability of rare earth elements (REEs), innovative solutions are critical to managing supply risks. Recycling is a key strategy in mitigating these risks, particularly for NdFeB magnets, which consume a large portion of REEs. Among the various recycling processes, hydrogen decrepitation (HD) has gained popularity due to its efficiency in producing fine powders for magnet-to-magnet recycling. While the HD mechanism is commonly attributed to hydride formation in the Nd-rich grain boundary phase, this study presents new findings that challenge this assumption. Through the hydrogenation of End-of-Life (EoL) NdFeB magnets at temperatures ranging from 25 to 400 & ring;C, the results indicate that the primary mechanism of pulverization arises from hydride formation in the Nd2Fe14B matrix rather than in the Nd-rich phase, especially at low temperatures where NdH2 formation is kinetically unfavorable. This revised mechanism was supported by evidence from X-ray diffraction, BSE and SE-SEM imaging, particle size analysis, diffusion modeling, and stress analysis.Conference Object Formation and Stability of Hydrides During Hydrogenation of Ndfeb Magnets(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2025) Lazou, Adamantia; Tanriverdi, Hakan; Gokelma, MertolDemand for magnets has increased in the last decades due to their usage in the energy sector. One of the most common magnets used for applications such as electronic devices, wind turbines, etc. is Nd2Fe14B (NdFeB). Neodymium (Nd) is one of the critical elements listed by the EU, hence the efficient use and proper recycling of Nd-containing materials become of great interest. Hydrogen is commonly used during magnet production and some hydrogen-assisted recycling approaches were also reported. This study reports an analysis of formed hydrides during hydrogenation of NdFeB magnets at up to 400 degrees C. In addition to experimental results, thermochemical modeling was performed by using FactSage databases to discuss the effect of temperature and pressure on hydrogenation. The study showed that the stability of phases changes with the temperature and pressure which affects the hydrogen content of phases after hydrogenation.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Microstructural Evolution During Homogenization Heat Treatment of Aa 6063 Alloy in Batch and Continuous Furnaces(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2024) Obali, Akin; Gokelma, Mertol; Urk, Deniz Kavrar; Dogan, Murat; Gokce, GokcenHomogenization heat treatment after casting is performed to eliminate the dendritic segregation and coarse eutectic intermetallic phases since they reduce the fracture toughness of aluminium alloys. By the homogenization treatment, ss-AlFeSi can be converted to more spherical alpha-AlFeSi particles. The ss -> a transition is crucial because the ss-AlFeSi particles cause a number of surface defects and limit the extrudability. Also, the rate of cooling in the homogenization furnace is one of the critical influencing factors on the size of the Mg2Si precipitates which affect the mechanical properties positively. In this study, billets of AA 6063 from the same cast were put through homogenization heat treatment by using batch-type and continuous furnaces. The solution, quenching, and aging heat treatment were applied to each sample. Microstructural characterization by SEM and the hardness test were conducted to understand the effects of the furnace type on the mechanical properties of aged AA 6063 aluminium.Review Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 14A Review on Characterization and Recyclability of Pharmaceutical Blisters(Elsevier, 2023) Capkin, Irem Yaren; Gokelma, MertolPackaging is one of the biggest sectors in the world and the use of aluminium is widespread in the packaging industry. Pharmaceutical blister packages generate a significant amount of solid waste, typically containing plastics and aluminium as thin layers. Since these packages have a complex structure with multiple layers, they are hard to recycle. A separation process of the plastic and aluminium is needed prior to recycling. Hydrometallurgical or thermal processes can be used for the separation. This work reviews the characterization of different types of blisters and the different reagents used in the separation process of the blister layers. Parameters and results of separation processes by using hydrochloric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, organic solvents, and phosphoric acid were discussed as well as the thermal degradation.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Assessment of Separation and Agglomerationt Tendency of Non-Metallic Inclusions in an Electromagnetically Stirred Aluminum Melt(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2023) Li, Cong; Dang, Thien; Gokelma, Mertol; Zimmermann, Sebastian; Mitterecker, Jonas; Friedrich, BerndPresence of non-metallic inclusions (NMIs) reduces surface quality and mechanical properties of aluminum products. The development of good NMIs removal practices relies on the understanding of inclusion behaviors with respect to separation and agglomeration particularly in the turbulent flow. In the scenario of electromagnetically induced recirculated turbulent flow, the concerned behaviors of inclusions with different sizes have rarely been investigated experimentally. In the presented study funded by AMAP Open Innovation Research Cluster, reference materials were prepared with uniformly distributed NMIs (SiC and MgAl2O4) via an ultrasoundinvolved casting route. Reference materials were charged into an aluminum melt where turbulent flow was promoted via electromagnetic force. Microscopical analysis shows non-significant agglomeration tendency of SiC, MgAl2O4, and TiB2 inclusion. Time-weight filtration curve, PoDFA, and Spark Spectrometer results suggest a strong dependence of separation rate on particle size. Analytical models were established to estimate the collision rate of particles and to evaluate separation probability of different sized particles.
