Yigit; Davut, Kemal; Davut, Kemal; Gökelma, Mertol; Gokelma, Mertol; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologySecondary 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.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Dynamic Compression of Metal Syntactic Foam-Filled Aluminum Tubes(Springer, 2024) Güden, Mustafa; Taşdemirci, Alper; Fiedler, Thomas; Taşdemirci, Alper; Sarikaya, Mustafa; Tasdemirci, Alper; Murch, Graeme E.; Belova, Irina V.; Guden, Mustafa; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe 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.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Ultra-Thin Double-Layered Hexagonal Cui: Strain Tunable Properties and Robust Semiconducting Behavior(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2024) Şahin, Hasan; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Yagmurcukardes, M.; 04.04. Department of Photonics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn 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.Article Citation - WoS: 1Interfacial Properties of Aluminum/Glass-fiber Reinforced Polypropylene Sandwich Composites(Springer Verlag, 2013) Baştürk, S. B.; Tanoğlu, Metin; Guruşçu, A.; Tanoğlu, Metin; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyAluminum/glass-fiber-reinforced polypropylene (Al/GFPP) laminates were manufactured by using various surface pretreatment techniques. Adhesion at the composite/metal interface was achieved by a surface pretreatment of Al sheets with amino-based silane coupling agents, incorporation of a polyolefin-based adhesive film and modification with a PP-based film containing 20 wt.% of maleic-anhydride-modified polypropylene (PP-g-MA). In order to increase the effect of bonding between components of the laminates, the combination of silane treatment and the addition of the PP-based film was also investigated. The mechanical properties (shear, peel, and bending strengths) of adhesively bonded Al/GFPP laminates were examined to evaluate the effects of the surface treatments mentioned. It was revealed that the adhesion in the laminated Al/GFPP systems could be improved by the treatment of aluminum surface with an amino-based silane coupling agent. Judging from the results of peel and bending strength, with incorporation of polyolefin-based films, adhesion in the Al/GFPP laminates increased significantly. The modification of Al/GFPP interfaces with a PP-g-MA/PP layer led to the highest improvement in their adhesion properties. The combination of surface modification with silane and addition of PP-based films did not yield the high bending strength desired. This may be due to the insufficient bonding between silane groups and PP-based films.
