    Fabrication of Superconducting Mgb2 From Boron Oxide (b 2o3), and Its Microstructural and Electrical Characterization
    (National Institute of Optoelectronics, 2005) Yavaş, Mert; Okur, Salih; Eğilmez, Mehmet; Kalkancı, Mihriban; Özyüzer, Lütfi
    The discovery of superconducting MgB2 (39 K) draws attention to it as a new material for applications based on superconductivity. Many researchers successfully synthesized MgB2 using commercial boron and magnesium. In this study, elementary boron was obtained via an acid leaching process, after reacting B2O3, and Mg in an argon atmosphere at 800°C. Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) results revealed that the powder obtained from the reaction was boron in 92% purity with magnesium as the major impurity. Superconducting MgB2 was produced from this boron and magnesium, in an argon atmosphere at 900°C, by a conventional solid-state reaction. Superconducting MgB2 powders were compressed in a dye to pellets by a hot pressing technique at 500°C and 1 GPa. The microstructural properties of the MgB2 were determined by X-ray Diffraction Spectroscopy, EDX, and Scanning Electron Microscopy techniques. The electrical properties of the fabricated MgB 2 were examined by resistivity measurements in a closed-cycle cryopump system, between 20 and 300 K. The critical temperature (Tc) of the MgB2 pellets was around 32 K.

    Low Temperature Synthesis of Spinel Powders by Mechanical Grinding
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Yalamaç, Emre; Akkurt, Sedat; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin
    Low temperature synthesis of spinel powder via intense mechanical grinding was performed. A dramatic decrease in the synthesis temperatures of ground powders was achieved. We were able to produce partially crystallized spinel at room temperature via a 110 minute grinding. Characterization of the synthesized powders was performed using SEM, XRD and DTA. Each stage of synthesis was analyzed using these techniques. Mixtures of Mg(OH)2 and Al(OH) 3 were used for synthesis. Temperatures as low as 800°C were able to produce bumps in the XRD patterns of ground powders at the 2θ angles for spinel crystals.

    Prediction of the Slag Corrosion of Mgo-C Ladle Refractories by the Use of Artificial Neural Networks
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Akkurt, Sedat
    A multilayer feed-forward back-propagation learning algorithm was employed as an artificial neural network (ANN) tool to create a model to predict the corrosion of MgO-C ladle refractory bricks based on laboratory slag corrosion test data. The corrosion process occurred by immersion of the rectangular refractory specimens in molten slag-steel bath. An ANN model to predict the amount of corrosion was created by using the training data. The model was also tested with experimentally measured data and relatively low error levels were achieved. This model was then used to predict the response of the slag-corrosion system to different values of the factors affecting the corrosion of bricks at high temperatures. Exposure time, exposure temperature of slag-brick contact and CaO/SiO2 ratio of the slag were the factors used for modelling. Model results provided the potential for selection of the best conditions for avoiding the factor combinations that may accelerate corrosion.
