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.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Temperature Dependent Electrical and Electrocaloric Properties of Textured 0.72pmn-0.28pt Ceramics*(Taylor & Francis, 2021) Böbrek, İrem; Berksoy Yavuz, Ayşe; Kaya, M. Yunus; Alkoy, Sedat; Okatan, Mahmut Barış; Mısırlıoğlu, İbrahim Burç; Mensur Alkoy, EbruLead magnesium niobate (PMN) - lead titanate (PT) solid solution ceramics in the ratio of 0.72PMN-0.28PT was produced by a combination of tape-casting in ⟨001⟩(pc) textured and random forms. The Lotgering factor, f, of textured ceramics was approximately calculated as 80%. Modified Curie-Weiss analysis indicated relaxor dominant behavior for both the random and textured ceramics. Development of texture led to an enhancement in the electromechanical properties with converse piezoelectric charge coefficient (d(33)*) under 20 kV/cm electric field reaching 545 pm/V for the textured ceramic. Electrocaloric (EC) behavior of random and textured ceramics were obtained from indirect measurements using temperature dependent polarization vs. electric field hysteresis loops. An EC temperature change (Delta T-EC) of similar to 0.5 K was calculated from the PMN-28PT ceramics at around 80 degrees C under an electric field of 60 kV/cm. Development of texture was demonstrated to have led to an anisotropy in the EC response.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1The Influence of the Casting Speed in Horizontal Continuous Casting of Aluminium Alloy En Aw 6082(Springer, 2021) Obalı, Akın; Dilek, Kerem Ahmet; Akdi, Seracettin; Ürk, Deniz Kavrar; Gökelma, MertolVertical direct chill (VDC) casting is commonly used to produce slabs and billets from wrought aluminium alloys. The fact that the VDC is not a continuous process and moulds must be prepared for the next batch decreases the productivity of the process. Alternatively, horizontal direct chill (HDC) casting simplifies the process and allows a continuous production. The casting speed in the HDC casting is easier to control and can be optimized for different alloys by changing the speed. This study focuses on investigating the effects of casting speed on the macrostructure of 6082 aluminium billets with 60 mm diameter. A demo-scale casting unit was used and the casting speed was changed from 310 to 385 mm/min. Changes in surface condition, macrocracks, microporosity, and diameter of the billets were investigated. Surface quality of the billets became better with the increasing casting speed, while diameter of the billet expands. Furthermore, centreline cracks appear at the casting speed of 355 mm/min. © 2021, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.
