Article Citation - WoS: 54Citation - Scopus: 58Sintering and Microstructural Investigation of Gamma–alpha Alumina Powders(Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Yalamaç, Emre; Trapani, Antonio; Akkurt, SedatSintering behaviors of commercially available alumina powders were investigated using constant-heating rate dilatometric experiments. Each powder had different proportion of alpha/gamma alumina. Densification behaviors of powders were studied up to 1600 °C with three different heating rates of 1, 3.3 and 6.6 °C/min. Compacts of different gamma content alumina powders exhibited systematic anomalous second peaks in the densification rate curves at certain heating rates and temperatures. At 3.3 °C/min heating rate experiments, densification curves of 10% gamma phase alumina powder compacts reached a plateau after 1450 °C, and did not increase any further at higher temperatures. This phenomenon was double checked to understand powder behavior during sintering. 10% gamma phase alumina powder compacts showed the highest density for each heating rate. It reached 94% theoretical density with 1 °C/min heating rate. But 20% gamma phase alumina powder compacts had the finest grain size of about 1.40 ?m. Final density and porosity of compacts were also tested by image analysis and the results were coherent with Archimedes results. © 2014 Karabuk UniversityArticle Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 23Cold Sintering of Soda-Lime Glass(Elsevier Ltd., 2021) Karacasulu, Levent; Ögür, Ezgi; Pişkin, Cerem; Vakıfahmetoğlu, ÇekdarOrdinary recycled soda lime glass powder was densified via cold sintering process with the aid of concentrated NaOH solution. Increase in processing time, temperature and concentration of the NaOH solution resulted in the formation of monolithic glass artifacts with higher relative densities. The sample densified the most (95.2%) was obtained when the sintering was performed at 250˚C with a 20 min dwell time using 15 M NaOH solution.Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 26Lowering the Sintering Temperature of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Electrolytes by Infiltration(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Sındıraç, Can; Çakırlar, Seda; Büyükaksoy, Aligül; Akkurt, SedatA dense electrolyte with a relative density of over 95% is vital to prevent gas leakage and thus the achievement of high open circuit voltage in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The densification process of ceria based electrolyte requires high temperatures heat treatment (i.e. 1400-1500 degrees C). Thus, the minimum co-sintering temperatures of the anode-electrode bilayers are fixed at these values, resulting in coarse anode microstructures and consequently poor performance. The main purpose of this study is to densify gadolinia doped ceria (GDC), a common SOFC electrolyte, at temperatures lower than 1400 degrees C. By this aim, an approach involving the infiltration of polymeric precursors into porous electrolyte scaffolds, a method commonly used for composite SOFC electrodes, is proposed. By infiltrating polymeric precursors of GDC into porous GDC scaffolds, a reduction in the sintering temperature by at least 200 degrees C is achieved with no additives that might affect the electrical properties. Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy line scan analyses performed on porous GDC scaffolds infiltrated by a marker solution (polymeric FeOx precursor in this case) reveals a homogeneous infiltrated phase distribution, demonstrating the effectiveness of polymeric precursors.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12Electrical Properties of Gadolinia Doped Ceria Electrolytes Fabricated by Infiltration Aided Sintering(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Sındıraç, Can; Büyükaksoy, Aligül; Akkurt, SedatCommon solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrolyte materials (e.g., gadolinia doped ceria - GDC) demand temperatures exceeding 1400 degrees C for densification by conventional solid state sintering. It is very desirable to reduce the densification of the SOFC electroltytes to i) avoid microstructural coarsening of the composite anode layers, which are co-sintered with the electolyte layer in the anode supported SOFC fabrication scheme and ii) reduce energy consumption during SOFC manufacturing. We have recently demostrated a novel infiltration-aided sintering route to densify GDC ceramics at 1200 degrees C. In the present work, we present the electrical properties of GDC ceramics fabricated thusly. Comparison of high density (>= 95%) samples fabricated by conventional or infiltration-aided sintering reveal that at 700 degrees C, similar total electrical conductivities are obtained, while at 300 degrees C, specific grain boundary resistivity is smaller in the latter. Bulk (grain) conductivity is higher in porous GDC ceramics (relative density <= 90%) fabricated by infiltration-aided sintering than the conventionally sintered ones with similar porosities. Finally, open circuit voltage of 0.84 V at 700 degrees C, obtained under dilute hydrogen and stagnant air conditions suggests that GDC ceramics densified by infiltration-aided sintering are suitable for use as SOFC electrolytes.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 24Preparation of Monodisperse Silica Spheres and Determination of Their Densification Behaviour(Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Topuz, Berna; Şimşek, Deniz; Çiftçioğlu, MuhsinMonodisperse silica spheres in the 50-520 nm size range were prepared by using the Stober process. Diffusive growth has been determined from Nielsen chronomal analysis for the 520 and 310 nm monodisperse silica spheres. The densification behaviour and evolution of the microstructure of the sphere compacts indicated an inverse dependence of shrinkage rate on the sphere size due to viscous sintering. The increase in sphere size from 50 to 500 nm shifted the densification temperature from ∼ 1120 °C to 1240 °C. The amorphous nature of the spheres was conserved up to 1200 °C where cristobalite crystal nucleation started and complete transformation to cristobalite phase has been observed upon heat treatment at 1300 °C. The activation energies for viscous sintering according to the Frenkel and Mackenzie/Shuttleworth models were calculated as 125 and 335 kJ/mol, respectively. These substantially low activation energies can be attributed to the presence of a significant level of silanol groups.
