    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2023) Erdem, Umit; Yildirim, Gurcan; Turkoz, Mustafa Burak; Ulgen, Asaf Tolga; Mercan, Ali
    This study has indicated the positive effect of sintering temperature on the mechanical durability, strength, critical stress, deformation degrees, durable tetragonal phase, failure and fracture by fatigue, and mechanical characteristic behavior to the applied test loads for the Co surface-layered Bi-2212 ceramic materials produced by the standard solid-state reaction method. The sintering mechanism has been used as the driving force for the penetration of cobalt ions in the Bi-2212 ceramic matrix. The microindentation hardness test measurements have been performed at the load intervals 0.245 N-2.940 N. The experimental findings have also been examined by the six different semi-empirical mechanical and indentation-induced cracking models. It has been found that all the mechanical performance parameters are improved considerably with increasing the diffusion sintering temperature up to 650 degrees C. On this basis, the Co surface-layered Bi-2212 sample produced at the sintering temperature of 650 degrees C has been observed to improve dramatically the mechanical durability and resistance to the applied test loads as a consequence of the formation of new force barrier regions, surface residual compressive stress regions, and slip systems in the Bi-2212 ceramic system. Similarly, the optimum sintering temperature has extensively enhanced the elastic recovery mechanism, critical stress values, and deformation degree levels, stored internal strain, and crack surface energy through the Bi-2212 ceramic materials. Accordingly, it has been noted that the best sample produced at 650 degrees C is more hardly broken than the other ceramics. Namely, the optimum sintering temperature has decreased the sensitivity to the applied test loads as a result of delaying the beginning of the plateau limit regions. On the other hand, all the mechanism has been found to reverse completely depending on the excess sintering temperature. Lastly, the indentation-induced cracking model has been found to exhibit the closest results to the original Vickers microhardness parameters in the plateau limit regions.

    (Kırıkkale Üniversitesi, 2024) Mercan, Ali; Turgay, Tahsin; Öz, Muhammed; Yıldırım, Gürcan
    In this study, the variations of the basic mechanical performance properties (microhardness (Hv), elastic modulus, hardness shear modulus, brittleness index, yield strength, elastic hardness coefficient, fracture toughness, ductility, flexibility and durability) of new Bi2.1-xBaxSr2.0Ca1.1Cu2.0Oy (Bi-2212) superconducting materials produced by doping different amounts (ranging from 0.0?x?0.1) of barium ions into the crystal matrix of Bi-2212 superconducting material were investigated in detail by microindentation Vickers hardness (Hv) tests in the applied load range 0.245N-2.940 N. In addition, the change of resistance to crack propagation, durable tetragonal phase, mechanical efficiency and mechanical characteristics of the Bi-2212 ceramic system with Ba/Bi partial substitution in the crystal structure was determined. According to experimental and theoretical findings, the overall mechanical performance of the Bi-2212 superconducting crystal structure increased significantly up to the Ba/Bi replacement level of x=0.01, while a systematic reduction was observed after this substitution ratio. Furthermore, the optimum presence of barium in the crystal lattice let to the formation of new slip systems within the structure, new bond formations between atoms, reduction of stress regions on the surface and rise at strength and fracture toughness. Besides, the optimum level resulted in improved material crystal quality and intergranular bonding. When the mechanical characteristic behavior was examined, it was found that all materials presented the typical indentation size effect (ISE) characteristic and there was a significant improvement in ISE characteristic at the optimum replacement ratio.

    Evolution of operable slip systems, lattice strain fields and morphological view of Bi-2223 ceramic system with optimum NiO addition
    (Elsevier, 2023) Mercan, Ali; Kara, Emre; Dogan, Muhsin Ugur; Kaya, Senol; Terzioglu, Rifki; Erdem, Umit; Yildirim, Gurcan
    The current work extensively reveals the influence of different nickel oxide (NiO) impurity addition levels on the morphological, microstructural, key mechanical performance, and mechanical characteristic properties of Bi1.8Pb0.4Ca2.2Sr2Cu3Oy (Bi-2223) ceramics using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Vickers micro-indentation (Hv) hardness measurements. It was observed that the addition of NiO impurity in the Bi-2223 crystal structure affected seriously the fundamental characteristic features. In the case of the optimum NiO concentration level of x = 0.1, the Bi-2223 materials exhibited the best crystallinity quality and coupling strengths between the adjacent layers, the most uniform surface view, and the densest, and the smoothest crystal structure. Similarly, the compound was noted to possess the hardest, highest mechanical strength, durable tetragonal phase, resistance toward failure by fatigue, and elastic recovery properties. Besides, it was observed that the characteristic Bi-2223 superconducting phase fraction and stabilization of the tetragonal crystal system reached the maximum level for the optimum concentration. Moreover, optimum NiO particles brought about a considerable increase in the number of operable slip systems, surface residual compressive force regions, and lattice strain fields. Correspondingly, the mobility of defects was blocked significantly depending on the preference of defects through transcrystalline regions. Additionally, optimum addition strengthened the typical indentation size effect due to the improvement of the recovery mechanism. In this regard, the NiO-added sample exhibited the least response to the applied loads. Thus, the Bi-2223 sample with the optimum NiO concentration was found to present the highest hardness parameter of 0.496 GPa, greatest elastic deformation value of 16.493 GPa, largest stiffness value of 1.044 MN/m, and smallest contact depth of 5.849 mu m. On the other hand, after the optimum concentration level of x = 0.1, there appeared serious increase in problems including internal defects, impurity residues, microscopic structural problems, and connection problems between the grains. All experimental findings were theoretically supported by semi-empirical mechanical methods. To sum up, the addition of NiO particles was noticed to increase the potential application areas of Bi-2223 ceramics.

    Evolution of residual compressive stress regions in Co-diffused Bi-2212 engineering ceramics with annealing temperature
    (Springer, 2024) Mercan, Ali; Erdem, Umit; Ulgen, Asaf Tolga; Gulen, Mahir; Turkoz, Mustafa Burak; Turgay, Tahsin; Yildirim, Gurcan
    The role of diffusion annealing temperatures intervals 600-850 degrees C on durable tetragonal phase, surface morphology, and main mechanical performance parameters of Co surface-layered Bi2.1Sr2.0Ca1.1Cu2.0Oy (Bi-2212) samples has extensively been examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Electron Dispersive X-ray (EDX) technique and microindentation Vickers hardness (Hv) tests. The experimental findings have shown that every material prepared has presented different composition distributions on the specimen surface as a consequence of the successful production of materials. Besides, the mechanical characteristics and durable tetragonal phase have been noted to enhance significantly with the enhancement of annealing temperature up to 650 degrees C due to the formation of new slip systems, surface residual compressive stress regions, connections between grains, and chemical bonding between the foreign and host atoms. Further, the optimum temperature has led to the reduction in stored internal strain energy and degree of granularity in the Co-diffused Bi-2212 crystal system. In this respect, the sample with the least sensitive to the external forces has exhibited the highest elastic modulus of 0.5445 GPa, shear modulus of 17.8515 GPa, yield strength of 181.5 MPa, and resilience of 369.1 MPa under 0.295 N. Accordingly, the cracks and dislocations have preferred to propagate throughout the transcrystalline regions, and crack growth size was easily controlled. Similarly, the saturation limit region has begun at relatively higher applied test load magnitudes. Conversely, the excess annealing temperature has caused the increase in the agglomeration of cobalt ions throughout the intergranular regions. Correspondingly, the activation of stress-induced phase transformation has been triggered seriously. Bi-2212 ceramic compound exposed to the optimum diffusion annealing temperature exhibits the most uniform surface view and crystalline quality with the densest surface morphology and the largest particle distributions and orientations. Moreover, every material studied has perfectly presented the characteristic indentation size effect behavior. The examination of granularity degree depending on elasticity moduli has verified all the Hv test results and discussions. All in all, this study guides the use of engineering ceramics in more application areas due to the increase in their service life.

    Improvement in deformation degree of Zr surface-layered Bi-2223 ceramics by diffusion annealing temperature
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Mercan, Ali; Terzioglu, Rifki; Dogan, Muhsin Ugur; Kaya, Senol; Erdem, Umit; Yildirim, Gurcan; Terzioglu, Cabir
    This study investigated the effects of different annealing temperatures (650 degrees C <= T <= 840 degrees C) on the surface morphological and mechanical performance properties of Zr surface-layered Bi-2223 materials with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, Vickers microhardness (Hv) measurements, and semi-empirical mechanical approaches. It was observed that the ceramic compound exposed to 650 degrees C annealing temperature exhibited the superior performance features due to the enhancement in the deformation degree. This is because the Zr ions behaved as the nucleation centers to prevent the propagations of cracks and dislocations throughout the main matrix depending on the decrease in the degree of granularity and distributions of crystal structure problems over a wider area. Similarly, the SEM pictures indicated that the diffusion mechanism increased the random distributions of the thinner plate-like granular structures (serving as nucleation centers), leading the decrease in the coupling problems between the grains. Among the materials, the highest surface densification was observed for the compound exposed to 650 degrees C. Namely, surface morphological analysis showed a strong correlation be-tween microstructure and mechanical performances. Further, the zirconium ions were found to decrease in the non-recoverable stress concentration sites, crack-initiating defects, and dislocations in the ceramic system. Accordingly, the sensitivity to the applied test load was noted to decrease dramatically. Shortly, crack growth size and velocity were observed to be more easily under control. Correspondingly, the Zr ions delayed consid-erably the beginning points of saturation limit (load-independent) regions for the bulk Bi-2223 superconducting materials. Additionally, the Zr ions led to the change in the mechanical characteristic behavior from typical indentation size effect to reverse indentation size effect. Lastly, the microindentation hardness measurements were semi-empirically analyzed by the different models. According to the comparison, Hays-Kendall mechanical model was noted to provide the closest parameters to the load-independent microhardness results.

    Reveal of relationship between microscopy architecture and mechanical performance of Y/Bi substituted Bi-2212 engineering ceramics
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2025) Yilmaz, Tolgahan; Kurtul, Gülnur; Ülgen, Asaf Tolga; Erdem, Ümit; Mercan, Ali; Turgay, Tahsin; Yildirim, Gürcan
    This study aims to find out how the crystallinity quality, surface morphology, and mechanical performances change with the substitution of yttrium (Y) for bismuth (Bi) impurity within molar ratios of 0.00 ? x ? 0.12 in the Bi2.0?xYxSr2.0Ca1.1Cu2.0Oy (Bi-2212) cuprates to reveal the dependence of micro surface topology on the substitution mechanism and achieve a strong relation between the impurity ions and crystallization mechanism. The materials are prepared by ceramic method. It is found that all the experimental findings improve remarkably with increasing yttrium impurity molar ratio of x = 0.01. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images indicate that the optimum Y ions strengthen the formation of flaky adjacent stacked layers due to the changes of thermal expansion, vibration amplitude of atoms, heat capacitance, reaction kinetics, activation energy, nucleation temperature, thermodynamic stability, and intermolecular forces. Besides, new engineering novel compound produced by optimum Y ions presents the best crystallinity quality, uniform surface view, greatest coupling interaction between grains, largest particle size distributions/orientations, and densest/smoothest surface morphology. Hardness measurement results totally support the surface morphology view. Moreover, mechanical design properties and durability of the tetragonal phase improve significantly with increasing replacement level of x = 0.01 due to the induction of new surface residual compressive stress areas, slip systems, and chemical bonding between the foreign and host atoms. Besides, the same sample exhibits the maximum strength and minimum sensitivity to loads depending on reduction of stored internal strain energy and degree of granularity. Consequently, cracks tend to propagate predominantly within the transcrystalline regions. Furthermore, each material investigated exhibits the characteristic behavior of the indentation size effect. In summary, the optimum Y-doped Bi-2212 sample paves the way for the expanded use of engineering ceramics across various applications based on the enhanced service life. Research Highlights: The presence of the optimum yttrium impurity significantly decreases the Ea value. As the Y/Bi replacement increases up to the molar substitution level of x = 0.01, the mechanical design properties and durability of the tetragonal phase enhance significantly. © 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
