Projects

Within the scope of the project, Co-Cr alloy metal powder was produced by gas atomization using the infrastructure of the Advanced Alloys Manufacturing Center at Sivas University of Science and Technology. The produced powder was then used to manufacture a critical turbojet engine component by Selective Laser Melting. During the project, powder production parameters were developed, SLM process parameters were optimized to obtain high-density parts, and suitable build orientations and support structures were determined. As a result, a domestic manufacturing capability covering the entire process from alloy powder production to the final component was successfully demonstrated for Co-Cr alloys of strategic importance to the defense industry.

This project, supported by the Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit of Sivas University of Science and Technology under project number 2024-GENL-Müh-0006, investigates the manufacturability and shape memory behavior of Fe–30Mn–6Si shape memory alloy produced by laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M). The effects of different manufacturing parameters, scanning strategies, and heat treatment conditions on the microstructure, density, and shape recovery performance of the material are being investigated. The project aims to determine suitable processing conditions for producing high-density samples with strong functional performance, support the findings through microstructural and mechanical analyses, and demonstrate the application potential of Fe–Mn–Si-based shape memory alloys in additive manufacturing.
