Abstract
The flow functions for plastic deformation have been developed to describe the plastic behavior of sheet metals. In order to explain the plastic behavior of material in metal forming processes via finite element analyses, two basic input functions should be applied. One is the yield function that determines the yielding..... More

Abstract
The effect of pre-strain on the hydrogen embrittlement of Nb-free and Nb-added low-carbon steels with ferrite-pearlite structure was investigated in this study. After the steels were electrochemically charged with hydrogen, slow-strain rate tensile (SSRT) tests were conducted on them to examine hydrogen embrittlement behavior. The SSRT test results revealed that..... More

Abstract
In this study, high-strength pure Cu bulk material was manufactured using a cold spray additive manufacturing process, and its microstructure, tensile and compressive deformation behaviors were investigated and compared. The cold spray additive manufactured Cu bulk material showed a heterogeneous grain structure consisting of fine-grains and coarse-grains, and only α..... More

Abstract
Recent large-scale fires in buildings and logistic warehouses have become a major social issue, involving both property loss and multiple casualties. To make color coated steel sheets non-combustible and/or have anti-fire properties, various ways of optimizing manufacturing parameters have been investigated for outer, inner, roof and ceiling panels. In the..... More

Abstract
ZrO₂ is a promising candidate for knee and hip joint replacements due to its excellent combination of low density, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. Nevertheless, a low fracture toughness of pure ZrO₂ at room temperature limits its wider application in the industry. One of the most obvious ways to solve the..... More

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of laser power on the microstructure and mechanical properties of functionally gradient materials (FGM) produced by direct energy deposition. The FGM consisted of five different layers, which were a mixture of austenitic stainless steel (Type 316L) and ferritic steel (HSLA). During the direct energy deposition,..... More

Abstract
Transparent and conductive Ti doped In₂O₃ (TIO) films were prepared on slide glass substrate using a radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputter and then subjected to Transparent and conductive Ti doped In₂O₃ (TIO) films were prepared on a glass slide substrate using radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputter. The film surface was..... More

Abstract
Facile, economic methods of preparing tungsten (W) nanopowder are critically needed to meet industrial demand. Herein, we report a method of preparing single-phase alpha-W (α-W) nanopowders using ammonium paratungstate (APT) as a starting material and the optimum synthesis conditions. The process involves two stages: i) the radio-frequency (RF) induction thermal..... More

Abstract
Graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) are nanometer-sized graphene oxide fragments that exhibit unique properties, making them interesting candidates for a range of new applications. Carbon black, one of the commercially available carbon precursors, is produced by the thermal decomposition or incomplete combustion of organic compounds. It is commonly used as..... More
