    Investigation of the Effects of Filling Speed, Casting Temperature and Metallurgical Quality on Fluidity of Lamellar Graphite Cast Iron at Different Section Thicknesses

    Köse, Sami; Çolak, Murat; Şüküroğlu, Ebru Emine

    In this study, the fluidity properties of the alloy were investigated at different casting temperatures, different section thicknesses, and varying casting parameters of lamellar graphite cast iron materials. To achieve our goal, we utilized sand molds that were created with specific parameters including pouring temperature, metallurgical quality, section thickness, and fluidity test model. These molds were used for casting. Thus, the effect of fluidity properties in changing casting conditions and liquid metal advance distances at determined section thicknesses was investigated. Modeling was carried out with FlowCast casting simulation software by determining the liquid metal advance distance depending on the section thickness in the castings made in sand molds under changing casting conditions. The fluidity and advance distance of the liquid metal was determined comparatively with experimental and modeling techniques under the changing casting conditions in the parameters determined in this study. When the outcomes were examined; it was observed that different liquid metal advance distances occur at different cross-section thicknesses depending on the changing conditions.

    The Effect of Different Drying Methods on Bioactive and Nutrition Contents of Bee Bread and Mathematical Modeling of Drying Characteristics

    Kutlu, Naciye; Gercek, Yusuf Can; Bayram, Nesrin Ecem

    In this study, the aim was to determine the effect of different drying methods (with microwave and hot air) on the color, nutrient and bioactive contents of fresh bee bread. Drying characteristics were also investigated. Microwave and hot air drying were applied at different microwave powers and temperatures, respectively. Lower moisture ratios and highest effective diffusion coefficients were obtained with microwave drying in a shorter time. The Midilli model was found to be the most suitable thin-layer drying model for both methods. Regardless of the drying conditions, moisture, ash, protein, carbohydrate, and lipid proportions were observed to vary in the ranges of 4.9–8.2 %, 1.61–2.67 %, 17.47–32.54 %, 39.92–60.84 %, and 7.10–8.89 %, respectively. The lowest color difference was obtained for the sample dried at 210 W. As a result, it was determined that microwave drying is more suitable for preserving the nutritional and bioactive content of bee bread during drying.

    Investigation of the Effect of Solidification Time and Addition Amount of Inoculation on Microstructure and Hardness in Lamellar Graphite Cast Iron

    Çolak, M.; Uslu, E.; Teke, Ç.; Şafak, F.; Erol, Ö.; Erol, Y.; Çoban, Y.; Yavuz, M.

    Material suppliers typically recommend different additive amounts and applications for foundry practices. Therefore, even in the production of the same standard materials, different results may be obtained from various production processes on different foundry floors. In this study, the liquid metal prepared with the addition of different proportions of a FeSi-based inoculation, which is most commonly used in foundries in the production of a cast iron material with EN-GJL-250 lamellar graphite cast iron, was cast into sand molds prepared with a model designed to provide different solidification times. In this way, the optimization of the inoculation amounts on the casting structure for different solidification times was investigated. In addition, hardness values were determined depending on solidification time in varying amounts of inoculation additions. SolidCast casting simulation software was used to determine the casting model geometry and solidification time. In the scope of the study, sand casting, modeling, microstructure analysis, image analysis, microstructure analysis, and hardness tests techniques were used. When the results are examined, the required amount of inoculation for the optimal structure is optimized for the application procedure depending on the casting module and the solidification time.

    Investigation of the Effect of Inoculant and Casting Temperature on Fluidity Properties in the Production of Spheroidal Graphite Cast Iron

    Çolak, Murat; Kaya, Sinan

    Working with liquid metal makes the casting method very advantageous, but also presents some difficulties. One of the common challenges in the casting process is that the liquid metal may not fill the mold cavity completely. This is mainly due to the contact of the liquid metal with the mold surface in the mold cavity, the high heat transfer coefficient of the mold material, and the undercooling and solidification of the liquid metal during liquid movements. For this reason, the fluidity of the liquid metal is important for robust casting production. The fluidity is affected by many factors such as mold properties, casting temperature, and alloying elements. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the fluidity characteristics of GGG60 alloy. For this purpose, the effects of casting temperature, different inoculants, and different inoculant quantities were used in the new mold design, which has different cross-sectional thicknesses. The distance of the alloy in the cavities was also compared with FlowCast Casting simulation software.

    Modeling design parameters with taguchi experimental method for obtaining operating conditions for cu(Ii) removal through adsorption process

    Serencam, Hüseyin; Özdemir, Akın; Teke, Çağatay; Uçurum, Metin

    One of the environmental concerns deals with the removal process of pollutants in water and wastewater. In this paper, a removal process was used to eliminate pollutants in water and wastewater. The aim of this paper was to obtain an optimum adsorption condition for the highest metal ions adsorbed (MIA) mg/g. For this particular purpose, a Taguchi L18 design was conducted. In addition, the signal-to-noise ratio was analyzed for optimum adsorption levels. The analysis of variance was also performed to evaluate the effect of each adsorption condition on MIA (mg/g) values. Moreover, an optimization model was also proposed to find the best optimal setting of adsorption levels. Then, the confirmation tests were performed using optimum coded levels of the adsorption parameters for the verification purpose. The results of the experimental study showed a good performance that Cu(II) removal capacity was found to be 43.66 mg/g. To the best of our knowledge, this research is the first to study natural stone as an efficient, inexpensive and cheap adsorbent for the removal process.
