    Effect of Mn Concentration on Mechanical Properties of A356 Aluminum Alloy Wheels Produced by Low-Pressure Die Casting
    (Springer int Publ Ag, 2024) Kaya, A. Yigit; Davut, Kemal; Gokelma, Mertol
    Secondary aluminum alloys in automotive industry have been rising in last decades; however, the iron content is still a concern whether recycled or high iron containing aluminum alloys can fulfill the mechanical requirements. As the proportion of recycled scrap increases in aluminum alloy components, the mixing and accumulation of impurities become significant issues. In this study, manganese was used to counteract the detrimental effects of iron. Accordingly, A356 alloy automobile wheels containing 0.002 wt%, 0.040 wt%, 0.069 wt%, and 0.14 wt% Mn were cast using the low-pressure die casting method, followed by T6 heat treatment. Optical microscope (OM) examinations were performed to observe intermetallics. Additionally, the mechanical properties of the produced wheels were evaluated through hardness measurements, tensile, and Charpy impact tests. After the Charpy impact test, fractured surfaces were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Micrographs from SEM and OM were quantified using digital image processing. To interpret this extensive dataset, a statistical model was developed using microstructural data as input through multiple linear regression analysis and analysis of variance. The results were discussed together with the sensitivity analysis. A weak negative linear correlation between Mn concentration and mechanical properties was found, indicating that Mn addition is not the primary factor for the observed decrease in mechanical properties. Elongation and yield strength were significantly influenced by both aspect ratio and particles/mm2, with greater sensitivity to particles/mm2. Additionally, impact energy was strongly affected by aspect ratio of particles (intermetallics and eutectic Si) and their concentration per unit area.

    Dynamic Compression of Metal Syntactic Foam-Filled Aluminum Tubes
    (Springer, 2024) Movahedi, Nima; Güden, Mustafa; Fiedler, Thomas; Taşdemirci, Alper; Sarikaya, Mustafa; Tasdemirci, Alper; Murch, Graeme E.; Belova, Irina V.; Guden, Mustafa
    The current research investigates the compressive properties of metal syntactic foam (MSF)-filled tubes at dynamic loads with an impact velocity of 4 m/s. For this purpose, A356 aluminum alloy syntactic foams were prepared using an infiltration casting technique with an incorporation of expanded perlite (EP) filler particles. The study involves the testing and comparison of both MSF samples and MSF-filled tubes under dynamic loading scenarios. In the case of MSF-filled tubes, aluminum tubes are either fully filled (FFT) or half-filled (HFT) with MSFs. The manufactured foams and foam cores have a similar macroscopic density across all tested samples. Under dynamic loading, the MSF, HFT, and FFT samples exhibit distinct and different deformation mechanisms. In MSFs, dynamic compression is controlled by shearing of the sample, whereas in HFTs and FFTs, dynamic deformation occurs through the folding and buckling of the tubes, accompanied by partial deformation of the MSF cores.

    Ultra-Thin Double-Layered Hexagonal Cui: Strain Tunable Properties and Robust Semiconducting Behavior
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2024) Demirok, A. C.; Sahin, H.; Yagmurcukardes, M.
    In this study, the freestanding form of ultra-thin CuI crystals, which have recently been synthesized experimentally, and their strain-dependent properties are investigated by means of density functional theory calculations. Structural optimizations show that CuI crystallizes in a double-layered hexagonal crystal (DLHC) structure. While phonon calculations predict that DLHC CuI crystals are dynamically stable, subsequent vibrational spectrum analyzes reveal that this structure has four unique Raman-active modes, allowing it to be easily distinguished from similar ultra-thin two-dimensional materials. Electronically, DLHC CuI is found to be a semiconductor with a direct band gap of 3.24 eV which is larger than that of its wurtzite and zincblende phases. Furthermore, it is found that in both armchair (AC) and zigzag (ZZ) orientations the elastic instabilities occur over the high strain strengths indicating the soft nature of CuI layer. In addition, the stress-strain curve along the AC direction reveal that DLHC CuI undergoes a structural phase transition between the 4% and 5% tensile uniaxial strains as indicated by a sudden drop of the stress in the lattice. Moreover, the phonon band dispersions show that the phononic instability occurs at much smaller strain along the ZZ direction than that of along the AC direction. Furthermore, the external strain direction can be deduced from the predicted Raman spectra through the splitting rates of the doubly degenerate in-plane vibrations. The mobility of the hole carriers display highly anisotropic characteristic as the applied strain reaches 5% along the AC direction. Due to its anomalous strain-dependent electronic features and elastically soft nature, DLHC of CuI is a potential candidate for future electro-mechanical applications.
