General Information
The research group is primarily focused on understanding the dynamical evolution and structural hierarchy at different length scales and controlling the phase selection mechanisms under far-from-equilibrium conditions in metallic systems. Area of interest include, but not limited to, amorphous and nanocrystalline metallic alloys, lead-free solders, RE-free magnets, superaustenitic stainless steel and single crystal growth.
Equipments
- Quartz/Pyrex sealing system: For sealing of metallic alloys under controlled atmosphere: For the production of low melting alloys systems (i.e. solders)
- Thermal-shock Instrument (comp. controlled; home-made): For thermal-shock and thermal fatigue experiments (-35°C – 200 °C)
- Various other tools (high precision balance, high/low temperature furnaces, specimen preparation tools)
Completed and Ongoing Research Projects
- Nanocrystalline Formation in Marginal Glass Forming Alloys (2011-ongoing) METU – BAP Project
- Lead-Free Alloys for Electronics Industry (2012-ongoing) METU – BAP Project.
- Embrittlement in Superaustenic Stainless Steels (2011-ongoing) in colloboration with Prof. Scott Chumbley, ISU.
