    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025-06-01) Süzer, İlayda; Akbari, Amir; Kaya, Faruk; Mertdinç Ülküseven, Sıddıka; Derin, Bora; Öveçoğlu, M. Lütfi; Ağaoğulları, Duygu; Mertdinc-Ulkuseven, Siddika
    Mo-boride and W-boride powders were produced from native boron oxide, magnesium, and related metal oxide starting materials by mechanochemical synthesis (MCS) followed by an purification treatment. The reaction formation mechanisms and the products were predicted with the FactSageTM thermochemical simulation program. Different conditions were tested to determine the optimum synthesis parameters. MCS was conducted at stoichiometric ratios and different milling durations, using excess reactant amounts over the determined optimum time. After MCS, unwanted phases were removed by HCl acid leaching. Detailed phase analyses of the final powders were obtained by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), whereas detailed microstructure characterization was conducted by scanning electron microscope/energy dispersion spectrometer (SEM/EDS), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and particle size analyzer. Among the utilized parameters, the ideal composition chosen for Mo boride synthesis was 6 h milled and leached MoO3-100 wt% B2O3-50 wt% Mg (1.41 mu m), including alpha-MoB, beta-MoB, MoB2, Mo2B, Mo2B5, and Mo phases. For the synthesis of W boride, the proper composition was found as WO3-100 wt% B2O3-50 wt% Mg (0.37 mu m) containing W2B5, WB, beta-WB, WB4, W2B, and W phases after milling for 20 h and leaching. Besides, as a result of the oxidation resistance measurements at 700 and 800 degrees C, phases belonging to MoO2 and WO2 were found along with boride phases.

    Nbmovta Refractory High-Entropy Alloy Incorporated Wni Matrix Composite as a Future Plasma-Facing Material: Evaluation of Mechanical Properties and Helium Ion Irradiation Behavior
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025-03-01) Boztemur, Burcak; Filiz, Kaan; Karaguney, Zahide; Gokaydin, Eyupcan; Bozkurt, Yasin; Ozbasmaci, Ceren; Ovecoglu, M. Lutfi
    Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) have gained attention in the last decades with their high mechanical strength, self-healing mechanism, and high irradiation resistance. These materials are evaluated to have a high potential as plasma-facing materials for fusion reactors. In this study, helium ion irradiation and mechanical behaviors of the RHEA-reinforced WNi matrix composites were investigated based on this perspective. Equimolar molybdenum, niobium, tantalum and vanadium powders were mechanically alloyed for 6 h to produce NbMoVTa RHEA with a single BCC phase. Then, different amounts (10, 20, 30, and 40 wt%) of RHEA were added into the W1Ni (containing 99 wt% W and 1 wt% Ni) matrix by planetary ball milling for 72 h. Consolidation was conducted by spark plasma sintering technique (1410 degrees C, 1 min). X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersion spectroscopy, and Archimedes' density analyses were performed on the composites. Moreover, wear and hardness properties of the composites were examined, and the lowest specific wear rate (0.59 mm3/N.m x 10- 5) and the highest hardness value (10.10 GPa) were found for the W1Ni-40RHEA composite. Helium irradiation was exposed to the composites to observe their irradiation resistance. It was observed that the lowest increment and the least deformation were obtained with the SPS'ed W1Ni-40RHEA composite. With the analysis of He+ irradiation, it was determined that the effect of radiation on mechanical properties is irrelevant. Also, it was observed that the addition of RHEA into the W matrix can create a high potential for using plasma-facing material. Moreover, it decreased the problems of tungsten against He+ irradiation.

    Powder metallurgy processing of seven/eight component multi-phase (HfTiZr-Mn/Mo/W/Cr/Ta)B<sub>2</sub> high entropy diboride ceramics
    (Elsevier, 2024-12-01) Suzer, Ilayda; Akbari, Amir; Ates, Semih; Bayrak, Kuebra Gurcan; Mertdinc-Ulkuseven, Siddika; Arisoy, C. Fahir; Agaogullari, Duygu; Öveçoğlu, M. Lutfi
    This study aims to show the possibility of synthesizing seven- and eight-component high entropy diboride (HEB) ceramics using high energy ball milling-assisted spark plasma sintering (SPS). Metal boride powders, synthesized in laboratory conditions from metal oxide-boron oxide-magnesium powder blends, were combined equimolarly as seven and eight components containing systems. Afterwards, hybridized powders were mechanically alloyed (MA) for 6 h and subjected to spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 2000 degrees C and under 30 MPa. Detailed phase analysis and physical, microstructural, and mechanical characterization of the samples were performed. in the sintered products, the main phase belongs to the HEB, and also low amounts of Hf/Zr oxides and secondary phases (W or Ti-rich) occurred. The highest hardness was observed at the (HfTiZrMoWCrTa)B-2 with 25 GPa, and the lowest hardness was seen at the (HfTiZrMnCrMoWTa)B2 with 17 GPa. Also, the highest wear resistance was calculated for the (HfTiZrMnCrMoTa)B-2 as 6.05 x 10(-7) mm(3)/Nm. Additionally, (HfTiZrMnMoWTa)B-2 and (HfTiZrMnMoCrTa)B-2 have the highest and lowest Archimedes' densities, with 7.94 g/cm(3) and 6.91 g/cm(3), respectively.

    Mechanochemical Synthesis and Characterization of Nanostructured Erb4 and Ndb4 Rare-Earth Tetraborides
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2024-10-03) Boztemur, B.; Kaya, F.; Derin, B.; Öveçoğlu, M.L.; Li, J.; Ağaoğulları, D.
    Rare-earth borides have become very popular in recent decades with high mechanical strength, melting point, good corrosion, wear, and magnetic behavior. However, the production of these borides is very challenging and unique. The production of ErB4 and NdB4 nanopowders via mechanochemical synthesis (MCS) is reported in this study first time in the literature. Er2O3 or Nd2O3, B2O3, and Mg initial powders are mechanically alloyed for different milling times to optimize the process. Rare-earth borides with MgO phases are synthesized, then MgO is removed with HCl acid. The nanostructured rare-earth tetraboride powders are analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Based on the XRD, ErB4 powders are produced successfully at the end of the 5 h milling. However, the NdB4 phase does not occur as the stoichiometric ratio, so the B2O3 amount is decreased to nearly 35 wt%. When the amount of B2O3 is decreased to 20 wt%, NdB4 and NdB6 phases are 50:50 according to the Rietveld analysis. However, a homogenous NdB4 phase is obtained with 30 wt% loss of B2O3. The average particle sizes of ErB4 and NdB4 powders are nearly 100.4 and 85.6 nm, respectively. The rare-earth tetraborides exhibit antiferromagnetic-to-paramagnetic-like phase transitions at 18 and 8.53 K, respectively. © 2024 The Author(s).
