Characterization of Ti-6al Alloy Foams Synthesized by Space Holder Technique
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2011) Bor, Sakir; Esen, Ziya
Ti-6Al-4V foams, biomedical candidate materials, were synthesized by powder metallurgical space holder technique as a result of evaporation of magnesium to achieve desired porosity content. Final products contained porosities in the range similar to 43-64% with an average macropore size between 485 and 572 mu m and a lamellar type Widmanstatten microstructure composed of alpha-platelets and beta-laths. Unlike the case of bulk Ti-6Al-4V alloy tested under compression loading, compression stress-strain curves of manufactured Ti-6Al-4V foams were similar to those of elastic-plastic foams, which contain a linear elastic region; a plateau stage: and a densification stage. In the plateau region deformation bands perpendicular to the compression axis were developed and cell collapsing took place together with the buckling and fracture of some of the cell walls and edges in a ductile manner. Calculated elastic modulus and yield strength were in the range 1.42-14.7 GPa and 28.2-150 MPa, respectively, and the foam mechanical properties were found to be dependent on micro porous cell wall properties, which in turn depends on neck size between powder particles. Around 330 MPa yield strength value was calculated for porous cell walls by the use of Ti-6Al-4V alloy powder samples sintered in loose and compacted conditions, which were utilized to simulate the cell wall structure of foams. In addition, overall mechanical properties of foam s were investigated considering macro porosity fraction, p(macro), and the yield strength of foams exhibited a power law dependence, similar to commonly used minimum solid area models, in the form of A*(1 - p(marco))(n), where the proportionality constant "A" was found to be the yield strength of micro porous cell walls.

Comparison of the Short and Long-Term Degradation Behaviors of As-Cast Pure Mg, Az91 and We43 Alloys
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2020) Esen, Ziya; Aydinol, Kadri; Dericioglu, Arcan F.; Ocal, Ezgi Butev
The corrosion behaviors of pure magnesium, AZ91, and WE43 alloys have been evaluated by weight loss, hydrogen evolution rate, pH change measurements and potentiodynamic polarization as well as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. Main corrosion product formed on the surface of Mg/Mg-alloys after immersion of 24 h was Mg(OH)(2) on the other hand, at the end of the 20 days additional CaCO3 which was found to display a critical role in degradation characteristics of the samples, was found. Examination in the cross section of the polished surfaces revealed that protective layers became thicker and corrosion rate of the samples decreased possibly due to increased protective abilities of the surfaces. Intermetallics in AZ91 and WE43 alloys acted as cathodic centers and induced micro galvanic corrosion. Undermining of intermetallics in WE43 alloy intensified the corrosion rate. AZ91 alloy exhibited the lowest corrosion rate among the samples when tested in simulated body fluid (SBF).

Effect of Borotitanizing on Microstructure and Wear Behavior of Inconel 625
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2017) Karakas, Mustafa Serdar; Gok, Mustafa Sabri; Kucuk, Yilmaz; Demir, Mehmet; Kanca, Erdogan; Cakir, Huseyin; Gunen, Ali
Inconel 625, a nickel-based superalloy, is used in a wide range of applications including the marine and petroleum industries under where it is subjected to harsh conditions such as high temperatures and highly corrosive environments. However, its wear resistance is limited and can be often considered unsatisfactory in some applications. If this alloy were to be used under abrasive wear conditions, its surface would have to be protected by a wear resistant coating. In this study, a two-step thermo-chemical borotitanizing treatment (including an initial boriding step followed by titanium diffusion) is proposed. Microstructural characterization (optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction) and mechanical properties (induding micro-hardness and micro-abrasion wear) of the coated samples were conducted. Microstructural studies revealed a compact, homogenous, silicide-free coating, consisting of four distinct regions: a TiB2 layer, a multi-phase boride layer, a diffusion zone and the substrate. Hardness values were significantly higher than those obtained by standard boriding treatments. Due to the nano-sized bodding agents used, the coatings formed on the surface were thicker than coatings obtained by methods such as nitriding, paste bodding and pack-boriding, and comparable to that of laser boriding. The wear resistance was improved by up to ten times in comparison with untreated Inconel 625. Grooving was the effective wear mechanism in untreated Inconel 625. How-ever the increase in surface hardness achieved by the borotitanizing treatment changed the wear mechanism in the coated samples from grooving to rolling. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Effect of Post Fabrication Aging Treatment on the Microstructure, Crystallographic Texture and Elevated Temperature Mechanical Properties of In718 Alloy Fabricated by Selective Laser Melting
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2022) Bilgin, Guney Mert; Davut, Kemal; Esen, Ziya; Dericioglu, Arcan F.; Ozer, Seren
The effect of building direction and post fabrication aging treatment on the microstructure, crystallographic texture and high temperature mechanical properties of Inconel 718 (IN718) alloy fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) method was investigated. After aging, arc-shaped structures seen in as-fabricated samples dis-appeared and converted into a mixture of columnar and equiaxed grains. Nano-sized gamma '' and/or gamma' precipitates were formed upon aging; however, MC type carbides and Laves phase encountered in as-fabricated samples were not dissolved completely after aging. Moreover, aging did not alter the texture ((001)//building direction (BD)) of as-fabricated samples. Mechanical properties of the alloys under tension were influenced by the build direction, aging time and test temperature. As-fabricated samples produced in vertical direction exhibited higher room temperature strengths with lower ductility due to orientation of overlapped prior melt pools. Room temperature tensile test results revealed that peak aging caused a significant improvement in ultimate tensile strength (UTS), from 1066.5 MPa and 998.4 MPa to 1408.5 MPa and 1330.4 MPa whereas elongation values decreased from 27.5% and 32.2% to 19.6% and 23.7% in vertically and horizontally built samples, respectively. Peak-aged samples (aged at 700 degrees C for 8 h) tested at 600 degrees C displayed serrated regions in their stress-strain curves due to dynamic strain aging (DSA). Although strength values of the samples displayed an expected decrease by temperature, ductility of the samples reduced to minimum at temperatures around 700-800 degrees C, which was attributed to intermediate temperature embrittlement.

The Effect of Processing Routes on the Structure and Properties of Magnesium-Tini Composites
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2012) Esen, Ziya
TiNi particulate-reinforced magnesium matrix composites were fabricated by rotary hot swaging and post-annealing heat treatment. The magnesium matrix of the processed composites was observed to contain elongated grains comprised of equiaxed recrystallised grains. Each elongated grain was surrounded by thin, non-continuous magnesium oxide layers composed of nanometric magnesium oxide particles. The TiNi reinforcement particles preserved their starting spherical shape during processing and testing. However, the hot deformation and annealing heat treatment changed the underlying room temperature microstructures and transformation behaviours of the reinforcements. In contrast to the majority of the ceramic reinforcements, the ductility of the composites was not significantly degraded by the addition of TiNi reinforcements; conversely, an approximately 25% enhancement was recorded in the elongation values for the Mg-5 vol% TiNi alloy. While the yield strengths of the composites changed linearly with increasing reinforcement content, the highest compression peak strength value was obtained with the addition of 5 vol% TiNi, beyond which the strength was slightly decreased. During mechanical testing, the TiNi particles debonded due to insufficient bonding between the matrix and reinforcement, and fracture resulted largely within the oxide layers present in the interfacial region and the magnesium oxide film in the magnesium grain boundaries.

Effect of Sm on Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Cu-Zr Bulk Metallic Glasses
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2019) Sikan, F.; Atabay, S. E.; Motallebzadeh, A.; Ozerinc, S.; Kalay, I.; Kalay, Y. E.
The effect of rare-earth (Sm) microalloying on the thermal stability and phase selection along with the effect of nanocrystallization on the mechanical properties of amorphous melt-spun ribbons of Zr50Cu40Al10, Zr49Cu39.2Al9.8Sm2 and Zr48Cu38.4Al9.6Sm4 alloys were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Vickers and nanoindentation hardness tests and micropillar compression analysis. XRD and TEM analyses showed that all samples were fully amorphous in as-spun state; however, crystallization sequences for the Sm-free and the Sm micro-alloyed samples were different during devitrification. Combined study of XRD, DSC and TEM on melt-spun ribbons show that Zr48Cu38.4Al9.6Sm4 have nanocrystallization of Cu2Sm phase with an average diameter of 10 nm, which was absent in Zr50Cu40Al10, prior to crystallization of Cu10Zr7 phase. The nanoindentation and micropillar compression tests revealed Cu2Sm nanocrystals embedded in Zr48Cu38.4Al9.6Sm4 alloy improves strength and hardness. On the other hand, presence of these nanocrystals deteriorate shear band stability and thus result in a catastrophic brittle fracture through a single shear band burst.

Optimization of the Mechanical Properties of Ti-6al Alloy Fabricated by Selective Laser Melting Using Thermohydrogen Processes
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2017) Esen, Ziya; Akin, Seniz Kushan; Dericioglu, Arcan F.; Bilgin, Guney Mert
2-step Thermo Hydrogen Process (THP) including hydrogenation and dehydrogenation steps was applied to Ti-6Al-4V alloy fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) process to refine the microstructure and to increase the ductility of the alloy. It was observed that as-fabricated alloy's surface was composed of oxides of titanium and aluminum, which may alter the hydrogenation kinetics. The hydrogen treatment for 1 hat 650 degrees C, the maximum hydrogen solubility temperature of the alloy, transformed starting non-equilibrium alpha'-martensitic phase to 13 and 8 (TiH2) phases. On the other hand, very fine discontinuous beta-phase was formed along with alpha-phase as a result of dehydrogenation at 700 degrees C for 18 h, which decreased the hydrogen level well below the starting value and caused transformation of delta-phase to fine alpha-phase. In contrast to commonly used THP treatments consisting of betatizing at high temperature, 2-step treatment prevented grain boundary alpha-phase formation as well as excessive grain growth. About 110% and 240% increments were detected in % Elongation (EL) and % Reduction in Area (RA) values, respectively, as a result of 2-step THP, while the strength decrease was limited to 10%. The change in ductility of the alloy was also verified by transformation of flat and shiny fracture surfaces seen in SLM fabricated alloy to a fracture surface containing equiaxed dimples after THP treatment. The hardness drop in the alloy after hydrogenation and dehydrogenation treatments was attributed to relief of residual stress and formation of equilibrium alpha and beta-phases.

Surface Characteristics and In-Vitro Behavior of Chemically Treated Bulk Ti6al7nb Alloys
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2017) Ocal, Ezgi Butev; Esen, Ziya
The effect of various treatments on surface chemical composition and structure, and bioactivity of Ti6Al7Nb bulk alloys has been investigated. The alloys were treated employing aqueous solutions of NaOH and CaCl2 separately, and also by subsequent CaCl2 treatment after NaOH treatment (NaOH-CaCl2 treatment) which were followed by heat treatment. NaOH treatment was observed to be effective in enrichment of surface layer with Na. On the other hand, Na+ ions were mostly replaced by Ca2+ ions as a result of NaOH-CaCl2 treatment, while single step CaCl2 treatment was less effective in Ca incorporation. Additionally, porous network surface structure seen in NaOH and NaOH-CaCl2 treated samples was completely different than globular morphology detected in CaCl2-treated samples in single step. Subsequent heat treatments caused coarsening of surface structure and loss of some Na+ and Ca2+ ions. NaOH and NaOH-heat treated samples did not exhibit apatite formation within 15 days immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). On the other hand, NaOH-CaCl2 samples had the highest apatite formation; however, NaOH-CaCl2-heat treated samples did not display any mineralization. Conversely, CaCl2 treated samples allowed apatite formation after heat treatment. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Titanium-Magnesium Based Composites: Mechanical Properties and In-Vitro Corrosion Response in Ringer's Solution
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2013) Esen, Ziya; Dikici, Burak; Duygulu, Ozgur; Dericioglu, Arcan F.
Ti-Mg composite rods exhibiting both bioinert and biodegradable characteristics have been manufactured by hot rotary swaging from elemental powders of titanium and magnesium. As a result of processing, spherical magnesium powders elongated in the direction of deformation and the dendritic structure in starting magnesium powders transformed into highly equiaxed grains. Magnesium particles in the outer layer of the composites were decorated by thin layer of MgO while the interior parts were free from oxides. As expected, Young's moduli, yield and peak strengths of the composites were observed to decrease with an increase in the magnesium content, while ductility of composites was enhanced by decreasing the amount of titanium. Composites fractured at an angle 45 to the loading axis along the titanium particle boundaries and through the magnesium particles via transgranular type of fracture with the accumulation of twins near the fracture surface of magnesium. Mechanical properties of the composites were observed to be comparable to that of bone and the composites exhibited biodegradable and bioinert character upon testing in Ringer's solution such that magnesium was selectively corroded and pores were formed at prior magnesium powder sites while titanium preserved its starting skeleton structure. In addition, it was found that volume ratio of titanium and magnesium, and continuous MgO layer are the most important parameters which should be considered in designing biodegradable magnesium alloys with an appropriate corrosion rate.
