    A study on nucleation, crystallization kinetics, microstructure and mechanical properties of Ru-Bi partial substituted BSCCO glass ceramics
    (2016-02-01) Ozturk O.; Gokcen T.; Cavdar S.; Koralay H.; Tasci A.T.
    This study deals with the effects of Ru-Bi partial substitutions on the thermal, structural and mechanical properties of Bi1.8-x Ru x Pb0.2Sr2CaCu2O10+δ (x = 0.0, 0.025, 0.050, 0.075) system, produced by using glass ceramics method. The effects of Ru-Bi partial substitutions on glass transition, nucleation and crystallization temperature were analyzed via differential thermal analyzer (DTA). Besides, microstructure and micromechanical properties of Ru-Bi partially substituted BSCCO glass ceramics were also investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Vickers microhardness measurements. From the DTA results, nucleation kinetics were studied by using Ozawa, Augis-Bennett, Takhor and Kissinger equations. In addition to this, activation energies and Avrami parameters were also calculated. According to the results of the thermogravimetric analyses, the amount of oxidation was seen to be increased with increasing Ru concentration. Moreover, the lattice parameters, volume fractions and surface morphologies of our newly produced glass ceramics were investigated by XRD and SEM measurements, respectively. RISE behavior obtained from the microhardness measurements for all samples. Microhardness, elastic modulus, yield strength and fracture toughness values decreased with increasing Ru doping.

    Comparison of Vickers microhardness of undoped and Ru doped BSCCO glass ceramic materials
    (2018-03-01) Ozturk O.; Asikuzun E.; Tasci A.; Gokcen T.; Ada H.; Koralay H.; Cavdar S.
    In this study, effect of substitution ratio on the mechanical and structural properties of Bi1−xRuxPb0.2Sr2CaCu2O10+δ system, that is prepared in the ratios of x = 0.0, 0.025, 0.050, 0.075, is investigated. Samples are prepared with glass ceramic method and sintered at 845 °C. XRD and SEM measurements are performed for structural analyses, and Vickers micro-hardness measurements are carried out at different applied load (0.245 ≤ F ≤ 2.940 N) in order to investigate the mechanical performance of the Ru doped Bi1−xRuxPb0.2Sr2CaCu2O10+δ system. Experimental results of Vickers micro-hardness analyses are performed using the Meyer’s law, the proportional samples resistance model, the elastic/plastic deformation model, the Hays–Kendall approach and the indentation induced cracking (IIC) model. All analyses results are exhibited reverse indentation size effect behavior. The measured hardness values increase with increasing the applied load. Finally, IIC model is determined as the most successful model describing the mechanical properties of our samples.
