    Malzeme teknolojilerinin gelişimi ile birlikte AHSS (Advanced-High Strength Steel) adı verilen üçüncü nesil geliştirilmiş yüksek gerilimli saclar can güvenliği amacıyla otomotiv imalatında sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Şase, kapı takviye sacı ve direk imalatında kullanılan bu sacların birleştirilmesi genellikle elektrik direnç nokta kaynağı ile yapılmaktadır. Elektrik direnç kaynağı, otomotiv imalat sektöründe robot kullanarak otomatikleşme ve seri üretime olanak sağlaması nedeniyle önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Bir diğer önemli nokta ise kaynaklı birleştirme esnasında kaynak kalitesini etkileyen kaynak parametreleridir. Elektrik direnç nokta kaynağı için bu parametreler kaynak akımı, kaynak zamanı ve kaynak çene baskı kuvvetleridir. Bu çalışmada, 1200M ve DP800HF AHSS sacların elektrik direnç kaynağında kullanılan kaynak akımı, kaynak zamanı ve kaynak çene baskı kuvvetlerinin nokta çekirdeği (kaynak dikişi) sertliği üzerine etkisinin, Taguchi yöntemiyle optimize değerleri incelenmiştir. Optimizasyon uygulamasında kullanılan Taguchi metodunda L18 ortagonal serisi kullanılmıştır. Bu seri ile birlikte optimizasyon sonuçlarının kontrol edilmesinde sinyal/gürültü (S/N) oranı belirleyici olmuştur. Deneysel çalışmalar ve optimizasyon işlemi sonuçları incelendiğinde gerçek uygulama ve Taguchi optimizasyonu ile yapılan analizden elde edilen sertlik sonuçlarının birbirine yakın olduğu görülmüştür

    Bu çalışmada, cam küre takviye fazlı polimer matrisli kompozit malzemenin delinmesi sonucu ortaya çıkan delaminasyon faktörünün etkileri deneysel olarak incelenmiştir. Takviye fazı olarak ağırlıkça %5, %10 ve %20 takviye oranında cam küre kullanılmıştır. Matris malzemesi olarak Polipropilen tercih edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, kesme hızı ve ilerleme arttıkça delaminasyon miktarında yükselmeler meydana gelmiştir. Elde edilen en düşük delaminasyon miktarı (1.18) 0.05 mm/devir ilerleme ve 15m/dk kesme hızında karbür takım türü ile elde edilmiştir. Ayrıca, kompozit içerisindeki takviye miktarı arttıkça delaminasyon faktörünün de yükseldiği saptanmıştır. En düşük delaminasyon miktarı %5 cam küre takviye içeren kompozit malzemede olmuştur.In this study, the effect of delamination factor on glass-spherical reinforced polymer composite material was investigated. Glass sphere was used as reinforcement phase with a reinforcement rate of 5%, 10% and 20% by weight. Polypropylene is preferred as matrix material. According to the results, there was an increase in the amount of delamination as the cutting speed and feed rate increased. The lowest amount of delamination (1.18) was obtained in carbide tool type with 0.05 mm/rev feed and 15 m/min cutting speed. Also, it was found out that the amount of reinforcement in the composite increased as the amount of the delamination factor increased. The lowest amount of delamination was in composite material containing 5% glass sphere reinforcement

    355-357In recent years, some topics in Automotive industry has become important such as energy saving, carbon emission and automotive safety issues. The main motivation to meet these requirements is employing high strength and low weight materials for vehicles. Therefore, the conventional materials have been substituted with Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) and High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steels that have high strength-to-weight ratios. However, in addition to material investigation, the joining and welding of these materials is of high importance cannot be underestimated. In this work, weldability of TRIP 800 (transformation induced plasticity), a AHSS steel, and microalloyed steels, a HSLA steel, with resistance spot welding has been investigated. The effect of welding time parameter on tensile-shear properties was analyzed. The optimum parameters for tensile-shear strengths and the encountered separation modes have been examined. The highest tensile-shear loads was obtained using 15 periods

    Al-Si/B4C composite coatings were deposited on metallic substrates using an atmospheric plasma spray technique for diesel engine motor applications. The effect on residual stresses of the reinforcement particle (B4C) content, coating thickness and porosity of Al-Si/B4C coatings on AI-Si alloy substrate were investigated by the finite element method (FEM). The coatings were characterized by means of optical microscope. Thermal loads were applied to the model at a temperature of 550 degrees C using FEM. Metallographic analysis of the coatings proved the existence of porosity and reinforcement particle. It was found that the volume content of the B4C phase was in the range of 5-25%, and the porosity had a content at 0-14 vol.%. The coating thickness was in the range of 100-1000 mu m. Finite element calculations demonstrated that the thermal shock resistance decreased with the increase of the reinforcement particle content, the increase in coating thickness and with porosity contents of over 4 vol.%. Of the coating systems, Al-Si/20% B4C coating possess the highest thermal shock resistance. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

    This paper describes the wear behaviour of AlSi/B4C composite coatings with 0-25 wt% B4C particles for diesel engine motors. These coatings were successfully fabricated on AlSi substrates using an atmospheric plasma spray technique. The produced samples were characterized by means of an optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and microhardness tester. The obtained results pointed out that an increase of B4C particles in AN coatings was caused on the rising of the microhardness values and the decrease of the thermal expansion coefficient of the coatings. The friction and wear experiments were performed under dry conditions using a ball-on-dics configuration against WC/Co counter material for different loads. It was concluded that wear resistance of the coatings produced using B4C powders is greatly improved compared with the substrate material. The highest wear resistance of the coatings were also determined in the 20% B4C coating. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

    Plasma-sprayed coatings of Al-Si/B4C have been prepared on Al-Si piston alloys for diesel engine motors. The Al-Si/B4C composite powders including 5-25 wt% B4C were prepared by mixing and ball-milling processes. These powders were deposited on Al-Si substrate using an atmospheric plasma spray technique. The coatings have been characterised with respect to phase composition, microstructure, microhardness, bond strength and thermal expansion. It was found that Al, Si, B4C and Al2O3 phases were determined in the coatings with approximately 600 mu m thick by using X-ray diffraction analysis. Scanning electron microscope observation revealed that boron carbide particles were uniformly distributed in composite coatings and B4C particles were fully wetted by Al-Si alloy. Also, no reaction products were observed in Al-Si/B4C composite coatings. It was found that surface roughness, porosity, bond strength and thermal expansion coefficient of composite coatings decreased with increasing fraction of the boron carbide particle. It was demonstrated that the higher the B4C content, the higher the hardness of coatings because the hardness of B4C is higher than that of Al-Si. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

    In this study, the effects of welding time on the tensile-peel strength and tensile-shear strength of welding joints in electrical resistance spot welding of chromate micro-alloyed steel sheets having 1.2 mm thicknesses were investigated. A timer and current controlled electrical resistance spot welding machine having 120 kV A capacity and a pneumatic application mechanism with a single lever was used to prepare the specimens. Welding current periods of 5-10 kA and 12 kA were selected, and it was adjusted by increasing 5 cycle from 5 cycle to 15 cycle during the welding process. The electrode pressure was fixed at 6 kN. The welding joints were exposed to tensile-peel and tensile-shear tests, and the effect of welding time on tensile-peel strength and tensile-shear strength was researched by using related period diagrams. The optimum welding times were obtained. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
