GRAFİT VE TiC İLE KAPLANAN PASLANMAZ ÇELİK İLE ORTA KARBONLU ÇELİKLERİN MİKROYAPI VE MEKANİK ÖZELLİKLERİNİN KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI

Ihsan KIRIK 1 , ANIL İMAK2 , Musa KILIÇ 3

Bu çalışmada, grafit ve titanyum karbür (TiC) toz kaplamalarının paslanmaz çelik ve orta karbonlu çelik altlıklar üzerindeki mikroyapısal ve mekanik etkileri incelenmiştir. Kaplama işlemleri sonrasında numunelerin mikroyapıları optik mikroskop ve taramalı elektron mikroskobu ile analiz edilmiş, sertlik dirençleri belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, TiC kaplamalarının her iki çelik türünde de yüzey sertliğini önemli ölçüde artırdığını göstermiştir ve aynı zamanda yüzey özelliklerini iyileştirmiştir. SEM ve optik mikroskop analizleri sonucunda, grafit ve TiC kaplı tüm numunelerde yoğun dendritik çekirdeklenme ile iç bölgelerde ötektik faz oluşumları belirlenmiştir. Dendrit-ötektik morfolojisinin kaplama tabakası boyunca süreklilik gösterdiği ve özellikle TiC kaplı numunelerde daha ince ve sık dendrit kollarının geliştiği gözlenmiştir.

COMPARISON OF MICROSTRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF STAINLESS STEELS AND MEDIUM-CARBON STEELS COATED WITH GRAPHITE AND TiC

Ihsan KIRIK 1 , ANIL İMAK2 , Musa KILIÇ 3

In this study, the microstructural and mechanical effects of graphite and titanium carbide (TiC) powder coatings on stainless steel and medium-carbon steel substrates were investigated. Following the coating processes, the microstructures of the samples were analyzed using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and their hardness values were determined. The results indicated that TiC coatings significantly increased the surface hardness of both steel types and improved their surface properties. SEM and optical microscopy analyses revealed dense dendritic nucleation and the formation of eutectic phases in the interior regions of all graphite- and TiC-coated samples. It was observed that the dendrite-eutectic morphology remained continuous throughout the coating layer and that finer, more closely spaced dendrite arms developed, particularly in the TiC-coated samples.
