    Effect of Powder Metallurgy Cu-B4c Electrodes on Workpiece Surface Characteristics and Machining Performance of Electric Discharge Machining
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2016) Cogun, Ferah; Akturk, Nizami; Cogun, Can; Esen, Ziya; Genc, Asim
    The main aim of this study is to produce new powder metallurgy (PM) Cu-B4C composite electrode (PM/(Cu-B4C)) capable of alloying the recast workpiece surface layer during electric discharge machining process with boron and other hard intermetallic phases, which eventually yield high hardness and abrasive wear resistance. The surface characteristics of the workpiece machined with a PM/(Cu-B4C) electrode consisted of 20 wt% B4C powders were compared with those of solid electrolytic copper (E/Cu) and powder metallurgy pure copper (PM/Cu) electrodes. The workpiece surface hardness, surface abrasive wear resistance, depth of the alloyed surface layer and composition of alloyed layers were used as key parameters in the comparison. The workpiece materials, which were machined with PM/(Cu-B4C) electrodes, exhibited significantly higher hardness and abrasive wear resistance than those of machined with the E/Cu and PM/Cu. The main reason was the presence of hard intermetallic phases, such as FeB, B4C (formed due to the boron in the electrode) and Fe3C in the surface layer. The improvement of the surface hardness achieved for steel workpiece when using PM/(Cu-B4C) electrodes was significantly higher than that reported in the literature. Moreover, the machining performance outputs (workpiece material removal rate, electrode wear rate and workpiece average surface roughness (Ra)) of the electrodes were also considered in this study.

    Sers-Based Ultrafast and Sensitive Detection of Luteinizing Hormone in Human Serum Using a Passive Microchip
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2018) Yildirim, Ender; Eryilmaz, Merve; Selbes, Yesim; Saglam, Necdet; Tamer, Ugur; Gjergjizi, Belma; Cogun, Ferah
    Human luteinizing hormone (LH) is an important analyte for doping control analysis since it increases the athletic performance. However, traditional methods to detect LH have few disadvantages, such as long analysis duration, waste disposal problem and sample matrix effect. Addressing these problems, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy based LH analysis using a passive microfluidic chip was developed and optimized. Antibody modified magnetic gold nanoparticles captured the LH and then, 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) labeled nanoparticles formed the sandwich immunoassay structure. The complex and the other reactions occurred in different chambers of the chip. The SERS signals of 4-ATP were recorded from the chamber and the system was shown to detect 0.036 IU L-1 in serum samples. The performance of the immunoassay was compared to all other methods and the proposed assay was the fastest analysis of LH without any problems associated with the sensitivity. The shorter analysis time was recorded because the chip enables the control of all reactions in one place and there was no requirement of a specialized laboratory. (c) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
