Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Effect of Coiling Temperature on the Structure and Properties of Thermo-Mechanically Rolled S700mc Steel(Technical Faculty in Bor, 2022) Di Nunzio, P. E.; Cesile, M. C.; Oktay, S.; Davut, Kemal; Şeşen, M. K.The boron-free S700MC steel is usually produced by exploiting the properties of a ferrite-bainite mixed microstructure formed by coiling the strips at a temperature of about 450 degrees C, i.e.below the bainite starting temperature. With the aim of further enhancing the mechanical properties of 6 to 10 mm thick strips, industrial tests were carried out at a coiling temperature of 600 degrees C to promote the formation of a structure of ferrite and carbides, which is also acceptable for this type of steel. Unexpectedly, a microstructure composed of ferrite and martensite was obtained. Compared to the ferritic-bainitic grade, the new structure is characterized by a slight decrease of the yield point but by an increase of the ultimate tensile strength by no less than 80 MPa, with a transition from a quasi-discontinuous to a clearly continuous yielding behaviour. Accordingly, the ratio of yield strength to tensile strength decreases from 0.90 to 0.75 and the impact energy decreases by 35 J and 60 J for the two gauge levels, respectively. The mechanical behaviour of the strips coiled at high temperature is explained as a direct consequence of the dual phase structure with a hard phase interspersed in a soft ferrite matrix. The presence of martensite is explained by the so-called incomplete bainite reaction. The partial transformation into ferrite after coiling and the long time required for the coil to cool down stabilize the untransformed austenite due to the carbon enrichment making bainite formation at lower temperatures impossible.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Investigations of Flame Retardant Properties of Zinc Borate Accompanying With Huntite and Hydromagnesite in Polymer Composites(Polish Mineral Engineering Society, 2020) Atay, Hüsnügül Yılmaz; İçin, Öykü; Kuru, BuketFires have been a danger to human beings for the centuries. As people lost their lives and property in fires, they tried to fight the fire and their efforts in this area continued increasingly. Unfortunately, it is still not possible to completely reset the risk of starting the fire. But it seems likely to extinguish immediately after the fire has started, and this is very important to save people's lives. Scientists have been working in this field in recent years; they are concentrated on producing fire-resistant materials using different materials. This can be provided by different ways; either fire-resistant material can be produced new, or the fire resistivity can be provided by incorporating the additive material into a flammable material. In our previous studies, we used huntite and hydromagnesite minerals to give fire resistance property to polymer materials, very successful results were obtained. In this study, huntite and hydromagnesite minerals were used for accompanying with zinc borate in polypropylene composites in order to increase the flame retardant property of a polymeric materials. Different content of minerals were blended with polypropylene, and composites were produced by twin-screw extruder for observing synergistic effect. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses were conducted to determine the structural and morphological properties of the composites. Thermal properties were determined according to thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Tensile and three point bending tests were carried out to obtain mechanical properties. Flame retardant performance was evaluated according to UL 94 vertically flammability test. It was concluded that very good synergistic effects were obtained that zinc borate was significantly influential with huntite/hydromagnesite in the flammability characteristics of composites because higher char formation is observed with zinc borate addtion. Moreover, the zinc borate reduced the smoke generated during combustion.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9Synthesis and Characterization of Novel High Temperature Structural Adhesives Based on Nadic End Capped Mda-Btda Copolyimide(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2018) Acar, Oktay; Varış, Serhat; Işık, Tuğba; Tirkeş, Seha; Demir, Mustafa MuammerA series of novel copolyimide structural adhesives were synthesized using 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane (MDA), 3,4′-oxydianiline (ODA) and 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (BTDA) as co-monomers, and nadic anhydride as an end cap reagent. The adhesives with different MDA and ODA contents were examined in terms of their structure, thermal stability, mechanical properties, and adhesive performance. They have glass transition temperatures (T g) about 400 °C, with thermal stability up to 500 °C. The effect of diamine monomer compositions on adhesion performance and processability of the copolyimides were studied. The copolyimides exhibited adhesion strength up to 16.3 MPa at room temperature. Nadic end capped MDA-BTDA-ODA copolyimide resins gained adjustable and controllable processability with the addition of ether bridged aromatic segments. The copolyimide adhesive with equimolar composition of MDA:ODA is distinguished form the both commercial PMR-15 and LARC RP-46 polyimides in terms of its better processability and mechanical performance.Article Citation - WoS: 187Citation - Scopus: 266Improvement of Barrier and Mechanical Properties of Whey Protein Isolate Based Food Packaging Films by Incorporation of Zein Nanoparticles as a Novel Bionanocomposite(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Oymacı, Pelin; Alsoy Altınkaya, SacideIn this study, whey protein isolate (WPI) based bio-nanocomposite films embedded with zein nanoparticles (ZNP) were prepared by solution casting. Nanoparticles were coated with sodium caseinate to obtain a uniform distribution in the films. The mechanical, water vapor barrier, surface wetting, morphological and viscoelastic properties of the films were investigated. The addition of ZNP significantly improved the water vapor barrier and mechanical properties of the WPI without adversely affecting the elongation of the films. Dynamical mechanical analysis and contact angle measurements revealed that upon addition of the nanoparticles, the fractional free volume and hydrophilicity of the WPI films decreased. Sodium caseinate containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups created an efficient interface between the hydrophobic ZNP and hydrophilic WPI matrix, allowing for a homogeneous distribution of nanoparticles even at very high loading levels as evidenced by the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images. The WPI/ZNP nanocomposite films can potentially become effective food packaging materials.Article Citation - WoS: 60Citation - Scopus: 70Foam Glass Processing Using a Polishing Glass Powder Residue(Elsevier Ltd., 2013) Attila, Yiğit; Güden, Mustafa; Taşdemirci, AlperThe foaming behavior of a powder residue/waste of a soda-lime window glass polishing facility was investigated at the temperatures between 700 and 950 °C. The results showed that the foaming of the glass powder started at a characteristic temperature between 670 and 680 °C. The maximum volume expansions of the glass powder and the density of the foams varied between 600% and 750% and 0.206 and 0.378 g cm−3, respectively. The expansion of the studied glass powder residue resulted from the decomposition of the organic compounds on the surfaces of the glass powder particles, derived from an oil-based coolant used in the polishing. The collapse stress of the foams ranged between ∼1 and 4 MPa and the thermal conductivity between 0.048 and 0.079 W K−1 m−1. Both the collapse stress and thermal conductivity increased with increasing the foam density. The foams showed the characteristics of the compression deformation of the open cell brittle foams, which was attributed to the relatively thick cell edges.
