    Abstract: Nowadays use of natural materials and natural methods is considered to be an element that increases the value of a product and contributes to sustainable life in environmental, economic and sociologic senses. Natural dyeing has been an avocation performed in the Anatolia region for centuries and can be used for dyeing of different materials. In thi... Show More

    Abstract: This paper reports on the development of a braze metal coating and a brazing process for joining aluminum alloys at temperatures < 570°C without applying a flux before brazing. This is achieved using a duplex braze metal coating made of an aluminum-silicon alloy and zinc as top layer in combination with the use of hydrogen chloride doped nitrogen as process gas. Here hydrogen chloride deoxidate the surface of the zinc coating and form zinc chloride flux in-situ. Defined hydrogen chloride partial pressures between 100 vpm (volume parts per million) and 300 vpm in nitrogen were produced by thermal decomposition of solid ammonium chloride. Reaction kinetics of hydrogen chloride with the zinc coating was investigated by detecting the generation of reaction heat at different hydrogen chloride concentrations and temperatures. An activation energy of was determined, a value that matches the values stated in the literature. The order of reaction n was found to be significantly lower than 1, which is consistent with gas solid reactions at microscopically fissured interfaces. An in-situ zinc chloride formation rate of 3 µg/(min cm2) at 400°C and 200 vpm hydrogen chloride concentration was obtained from the measured data, which may be sufficient for triggering the flow of braze metal. Experimental brazing tests showed, that when the reaction time was long enough to permit the formation of zinc chloride and this is followed than by a brazing process at 560°C to 570°C in subsequently hydrogen chloride-free nitrogen atmosphere, a liquid ternary AlSiZn braze metal is formed from the dublex coating enabling a wetting and brazing of the contacting join partner.

    Abstract: In this study, the effects of ozone desizing and bleaching on the hydrophilicity and whiteness of terry fabrics were investigated. The results were compared with those obtained after conventional desizing and bleaching (hydrogen peroxide bleaching). The test samples contain two side piled woven terry cloths of four different areal weights. The ozon... Show More

    Abstract: In this study, AC impedance spectroscopy measurements of cement paste with 0.5 W/C were collected and interpreted using different electrode-sample contact methods. The results indicated that when using a conductive glue contact (CG), two capacitive loops and an inclined line appeared within the frequency range of 100-0.1 Hz. An equivalent circuit, ... Show More
