    Effect of boronizing and shot peening on the fatigue properties of an iron based FeCu-graphite P/M material
    (2014) Yilmaz S.S.; Ünlü B.S.; Kurgan N.; Varol R.
    Iron based materials manufactured by powder metallurgy (P/M) method are widely used in industry. These materials are very important in applications where no machining is required, they can also be used as journal bearing material due to their self-lubricated property, and can be used for applications in the medical industry. In this study, powder metal parts were manufactured from composites based on FeCu-graph-ite by P/M method. Fatigue test was carried out on manufactured samples, which were only treated by boronizing or boronizing and shot peeing. The fatigue properties of these parts were investigated by a rotating bending fatigue test rig. © Carl Hanser Verlag GmbH & Co. KG.

    Tribological properties of boronized ferrous based PM journal bearings
    (Carl Hanser Verlag, 2015) Ünlü B.S.; Yilmaz S.S.; Kurgan N.; Varol R.
    Ferrous based PM (powder metallurgical) materials are widely used in journal bearings since they provide a good tribological performance. These bearings are self-lubricating and can be used in places where lubricating is not possible. This also applies to the shaft material which shows adhesive wear. Tribological properties can be improved and adhesive wear can be decreased by boronizing. In this study, tribological properties of ferrous based boronized and non-boronized Fe-graphite, FeCu-graph-ite and CuSnFe-graphite bearings manufactured by PM method have been determined and compared. Boronizing treatment was carried out at 950°C for 4 hours. The SAE 1050 steel shaft was used as counter abrader. Experiments were carried out at 20 N loads and 1500 rpm every 30 minutes for 2.5 hours. © Carl Hanser Verlag, München. © Carl Hanser Verlag GmbH & Co. KG.
