Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Fatigue Assessment of Copper-Brazed Stainless-Steel Joints for Plate Heat Exchangers(Wiley, 2025) Hayta, Yigit; Kandemir, SinanCyclic pressures can cause fatigue failure in the brazed joints and plates of the plate heat exchangers (PHEs). This study examines the fatigue behavior of PHEs made from 316L and 304L steels brazed with copper foils employing strain-controlled fatigue tests to explore if 304L could replace 316L in the existing production line for cost reduction. Fatigue tests were conducted at four different load levels with a stress ratio of zero and a frequency of 5 Hz. Finite Element Analysis was used to assess strain distribution and estimate PHE lifespan based on generated strain versus number of cycles to failure curves. The microstructural analysis revealed that copper diffuses more easily into 316L than 304L, and using 50 mu m thick foil causes more defects compared with 100 mu m foil. It was shown that 316L joints have a significantly increased fatigue life compared with 304L. Both 316L and 304L met the 15-year lifetime requirement set by manufacturers.Master Thesis Investigation of Tribological Performance of B4c Reinforced Aluminium Matrix Composites(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Serkir, Sevgi; Kandemir, Sinan; Akdoğan, YaşarAluminium, on account of its easy accessibility and superior metallic characteristics, has a wide variety of applications. Increasing demand on the use of aluminium in areas such as automobile, aviation and space industries which requires high performance has led to development of aluminium metal matrix composites. For this purpose, the ceramic reinforcing particles are mostly preferred to provide better mechanical and tribological properties than their conventional counterparts. In this study, aluminium metal matrix composite (AMC) reinforced with 5 wt.%, 10 wt.% and 15wt.% of B4C were fabricated using the powder metallurgy method. In order to obtain the optimum processing parameters necessary for efficient fabrication, several trials, at first place, were studied under different conditions by changing milling parameters such as milling time, milling medium, milling speed and process control agent, and sintering process parameters such as sintering time, sintering temperature. The production of composite powders was carried out using a planetary ball mill in a wet medium for 7 hours with 0.05 wt.% of stearic acid process control agent which helps to avoid contamination and cold welding of ductile Al particle. The milled powders were pressed at 314 MPa at RT and composite samples with a diameter of 30 mm and a height of 4 mm were obtained. The samples were sintered at 550, 575, 600 and 625ºC for one hour under argon atmosphere. The micro-structures of samples were analysed by scanning electron microscopy and the X-ray diffraction techniques. The wear behaviour of sintered composite samples with ball-on-disc dry wear tester and the mechanical behaviour of the samples with Vickers hardness test were investigated.Master Thesis Investigation of the Fatigue Behaviour of Metallic Components Used in Plate Heat Exchangers Under Variable Dynamic Loads(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Hayta, Yiğit; Kandemir, Sinan; Kandemir, SinanPlate heat exchanger (PHE) is a component that provides heat to be transferred from hot water to domestic cold water without mixing of them with a high efficiency. Over the lifetime of the PHE, cyclic pressures act on the brazing points and the plates, and this may lead to fatigue failure. The fatigue behaviours of the PHEs which are designed by using copper brazed 316L and 304L stainless steels, were investigated in this thesis by performing strain based fatigue tests to also seek the feasibility of the use of 304L stainless steel in PHE production to reduce the cost. Besides, the microstructural investigation of the brazed regions was conducted and, the tensile tests for both non-brazed and brazed steel specimens were performed in order to determine the mechanical properties of the samples. The fatigue tests were carried out with twelve specimens for each sample groups at four different load levels as displacement (strain) controlled with a stress ratio of R=0 and 5 Hz frequency. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed to determine the strain distribution on the plates of PHEs during their operation to estimate the lifetime of PHEs by using the generated lifetime curves based on the fatigue tests. Consequently, it was obtained that the ultimate tensile strength and fracture strain of non-brazed steel specimens are higher than those of the brazed specimens. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis shows that; copper can diffuse into 316L easier than 304L and the use of copper foil with 50 µm thickness results in more defect at brazing regions compared to 100 µm thickness. Hereunder the fatigue test results, Weibull Analysis was performed and the fatigue life curves were generated. It was found that 316L brazed joint has approximately 33 times greater fatigue life than 304L brazed joint and filler metal thickness is more likely to have a linear relationship with fatigue life. Finally, fatigue lives of each sample group were calculated based on the loads determined by FEA. The results suggest that either 316L or 304L stainless steels can be used as PHE material as both materials satisfy the lifetime requirement of 15 years which was preliminarily defined by Bosch Thermotechnology (TT).Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7A Comprehensive Study on Burst Pressure Performance of Aluminum Liner for Hydrogen Storage Vessels(ASME, 2021) Kangal, Serkan; Sayı, Abdülmecit Harun; Ayakdaş, Ozan; Kartav, Osman; Aydın, Levent; Artem, Hatice Seçil; Aktaş, Engin; Yücetürk, Kutay; Tanoğlu, Metin; Kandemir, Sinan; Beylergil, BertanThis paper presents a comparative study on the burst pressure performance of aluminum (Al) liner for type-III composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs). In the analysis, the vessels were loaded with increasing internal pressure up to the burst pressure level. In the analytical part of the study, the burst pressure of the cylindrical part was predicted based on the modified von Mises, Tresca, and average shear stress criterion (ASSC). In the numerical analysis, a finite element (FE) model was established in order to predict the behavior of the vessel as a function of increasing internal pressure and determine the final burst. The Al pressure vessels made of Al-6061-T6 alloy with a capacity of 5 L were designed. The manufacturing of the metallic vessels was purchased from a metal forming company. The experimental study was conducted by pressurizing the Al vessels until the burst failure occurred. The radial and axial strain behaviors were monitored at various locations on the vessels during loading. The results obtained through analytical, numerical, and experimental work were compared. The average experimental burst pressure of the vessels was found to be 279 bar. The experimental strain data were compared with the results of the FE analysis. The results indicated that the FE analysis and ASSC-based elastoplastic analytical approaches yielded the best predictions which are within 2.2% of the experimental burst failure values. It was also found that the elastic analysis underestimated the burst failure results; however, it was effective for determining the critical regions over the vessel structure. The strain behavior of the vessels obtained through experimental investigations was well correlated with those predicted through FE analysis.Article Machinability Investigation on Cnc Milling of Recycled Short Carbon Fiber Reinforced Magnesium Matrix Composites(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2024) Atasoy, Sahin; Kandemir, SinanThis study investigates the machinability of magnesium matrix composites reinforced with short carbon fibers, which represent novel materials in the field. AZ91 alloy and its composites containing 2.5 and 5 wt% recycled carbon fiber (rCF) reinforcements were used as workpieces. Face milling was conducted using uncoated carbide cutting tools under dry cutting conditions with varied cutting speeds (480-560-640 m min(-1)) and feed rates (0.65-0.8-0.95 mm min(-1)). The experimental design was based on the Taguchi L-9 (3(3)) orthogonal array. Analysis included cutting forces, surface roughness, wear on cutting inserts, and chip morphology to assess machinability. Taguchi, analysis of variance, and regression methods were employed to analyze cutting force and surface roughness results. Findings indicated satisfactory machinability for AZ91 alloy and comparatively poorer performance for the 5 wt% rCF reinforced composite, with increased reinforcement content correlating with higher cutting force and surface roughness. SEM and EDX analyses revealed significant built-up layer formation on cutting inserts, with predominantly spiral-shaped continuous chips observed in the experiments. Overall, the study affirmed the machinability of the composites and identified suitable cutting parameters for further investigations.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 16Influence of Recycled Carbon Fiber Addition on the Microstructure and Creep Response of Extruded Az91 Magnesium Alloy(KeAi Communications Co., 2023) Kandemir, Sinan; Bohlen, Jan; Dieringa, HajoIn this study, the recycled short carbon fiber (CF)-reinforced magnesium matrix composites were fabricated using a combination of stir casting and hot extrusion. The objective was to investigate the impact of CF content (2.5 and 5.0 wt.%) and fiber length (100 and 500 µm) on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and creep behavior of AZ91 alloy matrix. The microstructural analysis revealed that the CFs aligned in the extrusion direction resulted in grain and intermetallic refinement within the alloy. In comparison to the unreinforced AZ91 alloy, the composites with 2.5 wt.% CF exhibited an increase in hardness by 16–20% and yield strength by 5–15%, depending on the fiber length, while experiencing a reduction in ductility. When the reinforcement content was increased from 2.5 to 5.0 wt.%, strength values exhibited fluctuations and decline, accompanied by decreased ductility. These divergent outcomes were discussed in relation to fiber length, clustering tendency due to higher reinforcement content, and the presence of interfacial products with micro-cracks at the CF-matrix interface. Tensile creep tests indicated that CFs did not enhance the creep resistance of extruded AZ91 alloy, suggesting that grain boundary sliding is likely the dominant deformation mechanism during creep. © 2023Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Effect of Graphene Nanoplatelet Content on Mechanical and Elevated-Temperature Tribological Performance of Self-Lubricating Ze10 Magnesium Alloy Nanocomposites(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024) Kandemir,S.; Yöyler,S.; Kumar,R.; Antonov,M.; Dieringa,H.Magnesium (Mg) and graphene in alloy formulations are of paramount importance for lightweight engineering applications. In the present study, ZE10 Mg-alloy-based nanocomposites reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) having a thickness of 10–20 nm were fabricated via ultrasound-assisted stir casting. The effect of GNP contents (0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 wt.%) on the microstructure, Vickers hardness, and tensile properties of nanocomposites was investigated. Further, tribological studies were performed under a ball-on-disc sliding wear configuration against a bearing ball counterbody, at room and elevated temperatures of 100 °C and 200 °C, to comprehend temperature-induced wear mechanisms and friction evolution. It was revealed that the GNP addition resulted in grain coarsening and increased porosity rate of the Mg alloy. While the composites exhibited improved hardness by 20–35% at room temperature and 100 °C, a minor change was observed in their hardness and tensile yield strength values at 200 °C with respect to the GNP-free alloy. A notable improvement in lowering and stabilizing friction (coefficient of friction at 200 °C~0.25) and wear values was seen for the self-lubricating GNP-added composites at all sliding temperatures. The worn surface morphology indicated a simultaneous occurrence of abrasive and adhesive wear mode in all samples at room temperature and 100 °C, while delamination and smearing along with debris compaction (tribolayer protection) were the dominant mechanisms of wear at 200 °C. Inclusively, the results advocate steady frictional conditions, improved wear resistance, and favorable wear-protective mechanisms for the Mg alloy–GNP nanocomposites at room and elevated temperatures. © 2024 by the authors.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 17Investigation of the High Temperature Dry Sliding Wear Behavior of Graphene Nanoplatelets Reinforced Aluminum Matrix Composites(SAGE Publications, 2021) Martin, Seçkin; Kandemir, Sinan; Antonov, M.In this study, graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) with a thickness of 50-100 nm have been utilized to improve the mechanical and tribological properties of A360 alloy due to their extraordinary mechanical properties and solid lubricant nature. For the investigation of tribological properties, ball-on disc tests were carried out at various temperatures including room temperature (RT), 150 °C, and 300 °C. According to the hardness and ball-on-disc test results, the nanocomposite samples reinforced with GNPs exhibited improved hardness and wear resistance. The improvement in the wear behavior of nanocomposites was referred to the temporarily formed solid lubricant film of harder GNPs during the wear, and hence coefficient of friction (COF) and volume loss were considerably reduced. Abrasive-adhesive, oxidative, and mild-to-severe were found to be main wear mechanisms at RT, 150 °C, and 300 °C, respectively. Overall, the results show that the nanocomposites fabricated by casting method combined with mechanical stirring and ultrasonication have promising wear performance, especially at elevated temperatures. This may suggest that these developed materials could be potential candidates to be used in the engineering applications requiring high temperature wear performance. © The Author(s) 2020.Master Thesis Processing and Characterization of Scandium Added A356 Cast Alloy(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Öner, Cezmi; Kandemir, SinanAs a result of today's rapid technological developments and the rapid consumption of reserves in the world, the search for alternative materials has started. One of the biggest examples of this is wheel alloy. Ti5B1, one of the additives of the A356 Al alloy that is generally used in automobile wheels, allows to reduce the grain size in the alloy. In the event of depletion of possible Ti5B1 resources, there will be a need to use alternative materials instead. Based on this purpose, materials that can be used instead of Ti5B1 were examined. Scandium (Sc) as a rare earth element was found to be the least studied element with A356. A number of Sc-based studies with other aluminum alloys were reported and it was decided to work with this element for A356 alloy. In the thesis, the effect of Sc adjunction on the mechanical properties of A356 aluminum alloy after the permanent die casting process was investigated. Sc added to the A356 alloy at a ratio of 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 weight percent, respectively. Optical microscopy (OM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used for the microstructural analyses in this study. According to the experiments and results obtained in this study, it was observed that Sc can significantly increase the mechanical properties of the A356 alloy in terms of tensile strength and hardness values. Overall, it was found that the addition of 0.2 wt.% Sc to the A356 alloy could achieve a maximum tensile strength of 258.31 MPa compared to 242.54 MPa for the reference sample without Sc. No significant improvement in tensile strength results was observed when more than 0.2 wt.% Sc was added to the alloy. As for the hardness, the sample containing 0.2 wt.% Sc reached a maximum Brinell hardness of 75.01 HB compared to 77.58 HB for the unmodified sample. As a result, the amount of porosity increased with Sc added to the alloy, and an increase in dendrite arm lengths occurred. Due to this length in the arms, a decrease in fracture toughness occurred. In addition, there was no significant improvement in hardness.Master Thesis Investigation of Mechanical and Tribological Behaviour of Graphene Nanoplatelet Reinforced Ze10 Magnesium Alloy(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Yöyler, Sibel; Kandemir, SinanSince graphene was discovered, it has increased the hopes of improving and widening the usage areas of metal matrix composites with its unique mechanical properties. Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) was reinforced into the matrix in this study. The added GNPs have approximately 10-20 nm thickness and 14µm diameter. 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0wt.%GNPs were incorporated in the matrix, which is ZE10 Mg alloy. Compared to pure magnesium, ZE10 alloy has better ductility, formability, creep resistance, and corrosion resistance thanks to the rare earth elements. The stir casting method is demanded in industry owing to its suitability for making products complexshaped in large sizes. The combination of stir casting and ultrasonic processing was employed. Due to the high surface energy of nanosized GNP reinforcement, high energy mixing is required effectively to ensure homogeneous distributions. Therefore, ultrasonic processing was applied along with stir casting. This study aims to investigate the microstructure, mechanical properties, and wear behavior at various temperatures of ZE10 alloy with reinforced GNP. The microstructure examination, ball-on-disc, hardness, and tensile tests were performed on the cast reference alloy without GNP and composites. Ball-on-disc and hardness tests were performed at room temperature, 100 C and 200 C. It was observed that obtaining a homogeneous distribution became more difficult with the increased GNP content in the optical microscope images. The composite with 0.25 wt. %GNP content has the smallest grain structure compared to composites with different content of GNP (0.5 and 1.0 wt.%GNP). It was also observed that adding 0.25 wt. % GNP improved the wear and hardness values 8,1% and 22% at room temperature, respectively. Adhesive and abrasive mechanisms were proposed to be the principal wear mechanisms in consequence of the existence of delicate furrows, and plowing marks.
