Prof.Dr.Yavuz TOPKAYA Akdaş Casting and Trade Company was founded in 1982 starting 500 tons/year capacity. After 30 successful years, now it has 2 smeltries, 2 processing factories and a welding construction factory at Sincan Organize Sanayi Bölgesi in Ankara. The foundation has 36000 m2 closed area, total area is 60000 m2. Akdaş Casting has 70 tons at a time capacity and 25000 tons per year. It produces low and high carbon alloyed steels, corrosionresistant Mn steel, stainless steel, pig iron, grey iron casting. Akdas has been manufacturing products in 7 major areas: Automotive, Cement & Soil, Energy, Machinery, Mining &Crushing, Offshore & Marine, Steel Works Contact: +90 312 267 18 80 • Molding Pattern is the physical model of the casting part and it is made from wood ,polymeric material and aluminum. There is a part in factory called Modelhane which the models is made there.. Melting and Pouring AKDAS uses induction furnaces , Inductotherm branded and there is a capacity of 45 tones at once . The site of melting is a special part of factory designed for this action and there are some horizontal cranes transfering the molten metal to pouring area.In Akdas foundry 2, the furnaces are at the capacities ; 10tones, 2x9tones, 3tones, 5tones and 2x1.5tones. [email protected] Heat Treatment I have observed something related to annealing and heat treatment in METE403 at the summer school and that was a big opportunity that I could see this treatment in details. Heat Treatment is a group of industrial and metalworking processes used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material. The available processes in AKDAS are,, normalizing, stress relieving, tempering, selective hardening, differential hardening, and quenching. Quality Control AKDAS controls the quality of its products in many ways for having the best level of quality and confidence : • There is a great laboratory including a lot of testing machines like tensile test,compression test , Charpy impact test. The results are printed and sent to customers. • Beside the Lab, the firm has Ultrasonic Test, Magnetic Particle Test, Liquid Penetrant Test units in the factory. Figure1: pattern • • At the second part the core is made usually from sand and placed into a mold cavity, so the free space between the core and mold-cavity surface is what eventually becomes the casting. Finally,the molding box is prepared and it consists of all operations necessary to prepare a mold for receiving molten metal.

On the second week, Moulding room and core room are visited. we see how cores are produced by different methods and observe the moulding procedure. On the third week we observe the non destructive testing methods for 3 days and after these observations we perform two of them for 2 days. Which are Ultrasound Testing and Magnetic Testing. The last week we operate in the laboratory of the foundry in order to determine strength, composition, impact response, hardness and microstructure of the specimens. These operations are done in the laboratory. Mechanical Testing •impact testing •tensile test •indentation Spectrometry Metallography An addition to these tests we are also make the regular test for mould sand. For the melting process: Examples for types of cores in Ekstrametal. •We put pig in to the furnace •We put scrap (steel) after that •We put Carbon into the furnace •We put runner into the furnace •We put any other element ( such as molybdenum, S, Cu ,Mangan,magnesium) a) Melting b) Preparing Specimen for Laboratary c)Casting There are many types of cores The selection of the correct type is depends on : •production quantity, •production rate, •required precision, •required surface finish, •type of metal being used, Moulding process Moulds are used for keeping liquid metal till solidification is done. Wrongly designed mould can cause: •Cracks, •Voids, •Irreversible problems, Representation of Ultrasonic test (UV). Ultrasonic test is used for detecting internal flaws or to characterize materials and also used for measuring the thickness of materials. Advantages of UT: •High penetrating power •High sensitivity •Greater accuracy •Estimating size , shape and orientation of the defect Computer aided Brinell Hardness machine is used for measuring the hardness of the specimens that are casted. Spectrometry is used for calculating the composition of the specimens. Specimens come from induction furnaces to give appropriate feedbacks. Representation of magnetic testing Magnetic test is used only for materials that have good magnetic properties. Steps of magnetic test: •Applying Ultra violet light to material •Applying the magnetic penentrant •Applying the magnetic flux •Observing discontinuities . Spectrometry Brinell Hardness machine Metallography is the most important examination in the laboratory. We can observe the manufacturing processes and even sometimes its composition.

D. (2007). Materials Science and Engineering Summer Practice METE 400 or Fall 2012/2013 Student’s Name: Noureddine Chatah Name of the Organization: ETİ ALÜMİNYUM A.Ş. Name of the Student’s Advisor: Prof. Dr. C. Hakan Gür Eti Aluminium Plant is an integrated primary aluminium production plant which converts aluminium ore into metallic aluminium by processing the aluminium ore and after shaping it with casting, rolling and extrusionThe main bussiness of this Company is producing and selling Bauxite, Aluminum Hydroxide, Aluminum Oxide, Primary Aluminium and Rolled products. Eti Aluminyum A.S. consist of Aluminum facility located in Seydisehir/KonyaTurkey Bauxite Mining Alumina Production Seydişehir Alumina Plant whose installed capacity is 200.000 tons of Alumina per year, consists of six main production units. Although it has various compounds, bauxite ore is used in Aluminium production. Bauxite is the general name of the aluminium ore which consists of Al2O3 n H2O mineral forms. The production of bauxite ore is made through open-pit mining. The bauxite to be processed for alumina production, has to be composed of minimum 40% Al2O3 , maximum 15% SiO2, so that the modulus of silica (Al2O3 / SiO2) has to be minimum 7. Depending on the chemical and mineral compounds of the bauxite used for the primary aluminium production, nearly 2 tons of aluminium is produced from of 45 tons bauxite and, 1 ton aluminium from 2 tons of alumina. These are; • Raw material preparation • Autoclaves-Red Mud • Decomposition-Hydrate • Vaporization • Calcination • Aluminium Sulphate Liquid Aluminium Production Casting Department & Laboratory The Casting Department is capable to produce 76.000 MT/year cast products by using the Liquid Aluminium from Aluminium Factory and also some Scraps from several sources. The cast products are in forms of Slab, Billet, T-Bar and Standard ingot and different alloys can be produced according to the clients’ requests. The next step in aluminium production is converting the alumina into metallic alumininium by means of electrolysis. Primary aluminium is obtained by solution, decomposition and reduction of alumina in molten cryolite and aluminium fluorur bath named as electrolyte at 960-970 0C and with high current (100-400 kA); the aluminium metal is neutralized. As a result the molten aluminium is accumulated on the floor of the electrolysis cell. During the process oxygen is produced by decomposition of aluminium fragmentation. The main labs in ETİ ALÜMİNYUM A.Ş. Is Metallographic Laboratory and X-Ray Laboratory, Chemical Laboratory, and Mechanical Testing Laboratory. The main purpose of these labs is to make regular check on the products produced daily and whether they have the required properties. Moreover to enhance the quality of the products.

Week 1 and 2 Week from 3 to 6 Week from 6 to 9 Week 9 and 10 Since I have done my summer practice as Co-op student, my internship was different than others. It has lasted 10 weeks, and so I was working as an real engineer. Therefore, approximately 2 weeks of my intership was about research and preparing study material about materials for newly accepted engineers. In these two weeks, I have had an opportunity to observe how metallurgical and materials engineers are working together with other engineering departments and what kind of responsibilities they are. Since I was in Co-op program, engineers in R&D department asked me to search and learn some important facts about materials. In two weeks, I, briefly, have done: In the following three weeks, I was asked to conduct non-destructive testing for Airbus A350 XWB, A400M and ANKA which is Turkish unmanned aerial vehicle. I have done those tests mostly with the help of Ultrasonic testing which I have learnt from MetE 388 course and from Ferhat SONAT. After conducted tests, I was asked to write an report about results. Some test specimens can be seen from below pictures. After spending three weeks by conducting non-destructive testing, I have started to do destructive testings like tensile testing, compressive test, 3point bending test,etc. Most of the materials were composite since composite structures are using in aerospace industry with increasing amount. Most interesting tests were those conducted under subzero and high temperature for metals, and those conducted for composites after putting them into air conditiner for a year. In my last two weeks, I have spent my time in clean room which composites are made up and physicochemical test laboratory. In chemical laboratory, TMA, TGA, DSC, DMTA, ARES, HPLC Polymer analysis of composite materials, resins, adhesives, etc. are performing. At the end of these analyses, manufacturing parameters are specified. In clean room, I have observed how composite panels are made from prepregs. • Research about SCC, SPF and Welding specifications. • Study material preparation about Aluminum, Steels, Titanium and Corrosion. Rib of ANKA after static tests. With UT, delaminated areas are founded as seen in white dashed area. There were 12 more specimens tested with UT. Ramp qualification for A350XWB panels are inspected by using conventional Ultrasonic Testing way by using Omniscan MX which is Phased array ultrasonic inspection device. As seen from picture, there is no defects on the ramp region. After experiment, a test report is written and sent to Airbus company in Germany, and test system accredited. Instron 8502 and 8802 hydarulic machines used in testing. With 8502, subzero and high temperature testings are done, and with 8502, fatigue tests are done. Fatigue crack growt tests are done in Instron 8502. Other than these machines, there is one drop weight test machine and one impact test machine in mechanical laboratory.

Almost all of the circular and non-circular plates and large plates are made by presses. - In porcelain production, roller forming method is used for the production of cups, bowls and similar products. - Foundry method is usually used when the manufacturing process cannot be used for the previous methods because of the difficulty and the inefficient production. Larger plates or small complex shaped should be produced by foundry method. - In this process, some amount of mud is prepared at dryer and this mud is then passed from dryer and taken into the molds. The molds that are used for this process changed after 120-150 uses since they finished their service life. - Glaze is a layer or coating of a vitreous substance which has been fused to a ceramic object through firing and oiling. Glaze can serve to color, decorate, strengthen or waterproof an item. Main Area of Business : - In this method, the mud used for production should have high solid particle rate and lower viscosity. To be able to make this kind of mud, distributors which increase the fluidity of the mud should be used. Foundry muds should have fluidity and optimum thixotropy. In the last week of my summer practise i was in the quality assurance and decoration parts of the factory. In the quality department of the factory, the products which all the processes are applied checked before the packaging. All the products are classified according to the quality of them. - I observed the seperation of the products according to their qualities. There are three classes of quality; first quality, second quality and third quality products. First quality products are usually exported to different foreign countries and they must satisfy international parameters for quality. Second and third quality products are sold at factory outlets with low prices. - After the selection, first quality products are taken to the decoration process whereas low quality products usually packaged without decorating. Why porcelain products are glazed? - I observed the presses that consist of hydraulic, pneumatic and electronic systems. They work with high hydraulic pressures (270300 bars). The air pressure that used in these machines is 6 bars. - Porous and in micro level uneven surface of porcelain body coated with a glassy layer which is nonporous and has flat surface - For old roller methods 5 workers needed for 5000 products in a shift but in presses only 1 worker needed for 6000 products. outside so that it can be more hygienic and easy to clean. - In the press unit of the factory there are 2 types of presses and total of 10 press machine. 8 of these machines have 2 heads whereas, 2 of them are one headed which gives total of 18 press head. The types of presses are called DORST and NETZSCH the possibility of decoration of the surface - Aesthetically nice and smooth looking and also enhancing - Increasing the toughness of the product - Increasing the surface hardness - Corrosion to the external effects - Also i observed the processes applied in the ovens. The products have some humidity in them before the drying process. After retouch process porcelain products dried at the biscuit ovens where the temperature is about 900 °C. After the biscuit ovens, glazing process is applied to the products. Then products need to be dried again but this time applied temperature is about 1350 °C. With this last process, products get the necessary toughness, and after the glazing process fired products get the white color. Color of the product is very important for the sales and this color is the result of the glazing process. - Pressed products have crust around them when they first leave the press machines. Then these crusts are cleaned by retouch machines with emery and sponge processes and pressing process is finalized. - The basic raw materials for porcelain production are: kaolins, quartzes and feldspars Güral Porselen satisfies the ISO 9000:2000 quality document. Moreover, all raw materials and the foreign subcontractor companies have all been chosen very carefully and are all under continuous surveillance. In the decoration part of the factory, plates and other products are covered with an adhesive decoration layer.

Prof. Dr. Abdullah ÖZTÜRK The company was established in the 70’s in a 200 m2 workshop. Driven for success and thanks to the skill and support of our workforce, we soon became a well known company in the steel structure fabrication sector. As the demand grew, Baran Steel and Galvanizing expanded and move to bigger premises. By the end of the 80’s a building devoted to hot dip galvanizing was added to the facilities. As soon as ISO9000 quality management system was introduced in Turkey. Baran became one of the first companies to implement it and receive the certification. In the years that followed, we update our equipment with CNC technology and renewed the lines upgrading both our capacity and the quality of our services. Today, Baran Steel and Galvanizing operates in a 9000m2 indoor and a 15000 m2 outdoor area with a steel structure fabrication capacity of 36000 tons and 40000 tons of galvanizing, featuring a wide range of products such as overhead power transmission lines, substation structures, modular masts, monopoles, lightning poles and any kind of tubular steel structures and telecommunication lattice towers. Saray Mah. Dağyaka Cad. 4, Kazan Merkez/Ankara, Türkiye Tel:0312 815 5352 WEEK 1-2-3-4 GALVANIZATION Galvanization is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, in order to prevent rusting. The term is derived from the name of Italian scientist Luigi Galvani. Although galvanization can be done with electrochemical and electro deposition processes, the most common method in current use is hot-dip galvanization, in which steel parts are submerged in a bath of molten zinc. Hot-dip galvanizing is a form of galvanization. It is the process of coating iron, steel or aluminum with a thinzinc layer, by passing the metal through a molten bath of zinc at a temperature of around 860 °F (460 °C). When exposed to the atmosphere, the pure zinc (Zn) reacts with oxygen (O2) to form zinc oxide (ZnO), which further reacts with carbon dioxide (CO2) to form zinc carbonate (ZnCO3), a usually dull grey, fairly strong material that stops further corrosion in many circumstances, protecting the steel below from the elements.Galvanized steel is widely used in applications where rust resistance is needed, and can be identified by the crystallization patterning on the surface (often called a “spangle”).

Material in the form of powder is injected into a very high temperature plasma flame, where it is rapidly heated and accelerated to a high velocity. The hot material impacts on the substrate surface and rapidly cools forming a coating. Laser cutting is a fairly new technology that allows metals and some non metallic materials to be cut with extreme precision if required. The laser beam is typically 0.2 mm in diameter with a power of 1-2 kW . Week 3 Week 4 Non-Destructive Testing Non-Destructive Testing Fluorescence Penetrate Inspection (FPI) Fluorescence Ultrasonic Inspection This process is used to detect small defects in areas such as aerospace engineering where extra precision is needed. Because of its sensitivity to such small defects, FPI is ideal for most metals, which tend to have small, tight pores and smooth surfaces. The ultrasonic inspection method is used for either the detection of subsurface flaws and irregularities in castings, forgings and welds, or for thickness gauging when only one side of component is accessible. Ultrasonic inspection uses sound waves of short wavelength and high frequency to detect flaws or measure material thickness. Radiographic Inspection Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) Magnetic particle inspection is a method for detecting cracks, laps, seams, voids, pits, subsurface holes and other surface discontinuities in ferro-magnetic materials. Magnetic particle inspection can be used only on ferromagnetic materials such as iron, steel. It can be applied to materials in any process for billets, finished or semifinished, assembled or disassembled. In radiographic inspection systems, a beam of high-energy radiation, such as X-rays, is transmitted through a test object to be inspected, and a corresponding image of the test object is formed using various image-processing techniques. A flaw, defect or structural inhomogeneity in the test object is detected by examining the image generated.

Test and analysis: this unit determines all requirements of analysis and test, and apply them to necassary parts. All signed projects starts by doing design. Design prints are technical pictures. According to these pictures, necessities are supplied by purchasing or manufacturing engineering. Designer engineer use a drawing program, which is called CATIA, and SMARTEAM program is used for engineering configuration management Week 3 Week 4 Welding is one of the two main processes along with machining in FNSS for manufacturing. Welding engineers work with the machining engineers in the manufacturing engineering office. The most of the parts of vehicles are joined each other by welding processes. Before applying welding process, all parts are put in chemical baths, such as ridoline bath. By using this, silica extracts from the aluminum surfaces. The reason why this process is used that silica has much higher melting temperature because it is ceramic. There most common used welding processes in FNSS are TIG,MIG and MAG welding. Quality Control tries to minimizing defects that is appeared from other processes. Some tests are applied for this; Macro and Micro tests: It is applied by using microscope. The structure and content of a material or weld are known. Penetrant testing: For determining cracks and porosities which are in welded area of the material Tensile testing: The duraiblity of metals can be determined from this test. TIG WELDING MIG WELDING MAG (Metal Active Gas) welding requires the use of an active gas CO2 is commonly used shortening of MAG welding gas (difference from MIG) References 1-Summer Practise Report 2- www.fnss.com.tr 3- www.welding engineer.com 4- www.safetyculture.com 5- www.transportation.anl.gov Summer Practice METE 400 Fall 2012/2013 Timuçin Koray GÜZELDEREN MAHLE Prof.Dr.Vedat AKDENİZ MAHLE Konya A.S. , 2.

Person in the Organization: Salih BEKTAŞ e-mail:[email protected] Phone No: 03123031070 Week 1 PATENTS/ UTILITY MODELS What is invention? The invention is defined as the solution to a specific technical problem. The concept of 'invention' forms the basis of the patent law. The inventions are protected through the patent / utility model certificate for the purpose of encouraging the invention activities and the attaining technical, economic and social progresses by means of application such invention to the industrial sectors. Week 2 TRADEMARKS Week 3 INDUSTRIAL DESIGN What is a trademark? What is industrial design? A Trade Mark is a label that can be affixed over products or packages and is designed in order to distinguish products or services of an enterprise from products or services of another enterprise and may contain personal names, special words, shapes, letters, numbers and any symbols that can be produced and copied by any means. How many types of Trade Marks exist? An invention is considered know in technology if it has been made public by written or oral description, usage or another way anywhere in the world before the date of patent application. Moreover; an invention is accepted as not known in technology when it is developed by a professional technologist and is invented by a way which is not evidently borrowed from any known technology. Shared Trade Mark It contains of symbols used by a group engaged in a production, trade or service administration. Shared Trade Mark is used to distinguish products or services of a group administration from products or services of another administrations. Guarantee Trade Mark Guarantee Trade Mark is a sign used to guarantee the common features, production methods, geographical sources and quality of many enterprises that are economically connected to an enterprise that owns the guarantee Trade Mark which uses it for all its products and services. Commercial Trade Mark This is a sign that is used to distinguish products manufactured and/or traded by an enterprise from products of other enterprises. Trade Mark of Service This is a sign used to distinguish services provided by an enterprise from What is utility models? services provided by other enterprises What is patent? New; An invention is considered new if it has not been described publicly in Turkey or any other country or has not been in use locally or inside country. Usable in industry; An invention is considered usable in industry if it possesses features that are useful for any branch of industry including agriculture. Which inventions are not included in the Utility Model class? Scientific theories and findings, mathematical methods, Plans, methods and rules for mental, trade and game activities, Literature and art works, scientific works, creations of esthetic quality, computer programs, Systems for collecting, editing, presenting and transmitting information which do not have technical aspects, Surgery and healing methods for human or animal bodies, and diagnosis methods for human or animal bodies. . The signs on the trademarks It is not a must to use the symbols such as ®, TM, SM or similar symbols and they do not provide additional protection. In addition, use of such symbols may be the proper way to inform the others of the fact that the said sign is a trademark and to warn the violators and the imitators. TM symbol shows any sign that is a trademark while ® is used when the trademark is registered. For service marks, SM symbol is used. Is registration of a trademark a must? Although registration of a trademark is not a must, registration is the most significant means of evidence on the trademark and of the hindrance of the trademark violations. Therefore, registration of the trademarks in the countries where commercial activities are established is highly recommended. It is combination of various elements and features that can be perceived by human senses such as drawings, figures, shapes, colors, textures, materials or elasticity which are applied to a product, a part of a product or a decoration over a product and put altogether. Product; is an object made by industrial or manual way, not including computer programs or half conductive topographies, and may be a combination of parts put together as sets, tackles or packages and may be presented with multiple objects and carry visible graphic symbols and typographic characters. Advantages of Design Registration Industrial Design application is evaluated by the Turkish Patent Institute the same date hour and minute when applied. Turkish Patent Institute will decline Design registration applications of other companies made after you in case their design is the same as yours or indistinguishably resembles your design. If the same design as a new one has never been presented publicly in any place of the world, then this design is accepted as new. If a design is different in only few small details then it is accepted as the same and the next owners application will be declined. The right of usage of a registered design is only valid in the country where it was registered. A product that belongs to a registered design cannot be used by other companies. If the company which owns the registered design can prove that their design is being forged, it can seize the forged goods or stop the service of forging company. The company may also apply to the Court for compensation for moral and material harm. Any registered brand can be sold, transferred by inheritance, license for usage may be given, can be presented as a mortgage or compensation. Week 4 GEOGRAPHICAL SIGNS The geographical sign is an industrial property right describing a product originated from any region or attributable to any region due to its quality, reputation or other characteristics. Any product, fruit, stone, mine of any region may be different from those in the other regions or any carpet, pileless carpet, fabric, tile etc may have attained reputation for whatsoever is the reason. Use of the name of the region with such products may be perceived by the consumers as their distinctive features from those with similar nature. The consumers may prefer the products sold through the name of such regions in lieu of the other products due to the fact that they rely on the name of the region. In this context, the geographical signs are dimensioned in the manner that they are shaped, packaged , purchased and sold through the traditional knowledge and they are the signs of guarantee evidencing the quality of the product , traditional production method and geographical origin. What is designation of origin? Designation of origin” indicates a name of a product, the quality or characteristics of which is essentially or exclusively due to the inherent natural and human factors of a place of which the geographical boundaries have been defined. All of the steps for production, processing and preparation should take place within the defined boundaries. Some examples are Eskiþehir Meerschaum, Çelikhan Tobacco, Aegean Cotton. Such products are not manufactured outside their respective regions. It is because the products acquire their characteristics only in the region they are made available. Whar is the geographical indication? The product may be manufactured in any other location provided that at least one of the product characteristics to which a geographical indication is linked to the defined boundary should be originated from the said region. Some examples are, Isparta Carpets, Damal Doll, Siirt Blanket. The nature, quality, reputation and other features of such products may depend on the natural raw materials or human factors which all belong to the specified location.

Co. Inc. Prof. Dr. Kadri Aydınol Nurol Machine Division is founded in 1978 in Ankara and has undertaken large-scale projects in steel construction and machinery production. . After a while Nurol Co. involved to the defence industry while continuing its mentioned capabilities and established its plants in Sincan Ankara Industrial Zone. Following this aim, the company had been reconstructed in 1991 with the aim of meeting the requirements of Turkish Army Force, local and foreign defense contractors in the defense industry. Until today, it has carried out several important projects in an indoor area of 17.000 m2 on a land of 50.000 m2, with its 226 qualified and experienced personnel. The products of Nurol , i.e. Armoured wheeled vehicles, personal carrier, combat vehicle, support vehicle, evacustion vehicle, recovery vehicle, etc. , armored subsystems like canon system, machine gun turret, TOMAS and shelter systems. During my practise, my responsible engineer and chief was quality assurance engineer Gökçe Göksu. ( e-mail :[email protected] , phone number : 05333991202 ) Week 7,8,9 Week 1,2,3,4,5,6- Quality Control Department Production Planning Department Since Nurol Machine Division is performing in the defense industry and producing his product according to customer demand, there is no continuous production at the firm. If there is a bid, company determines a unit price to sell their product. Then if company wins the bid, it starts to production according to demand. Therefore, in the company there is no long term decision about the market needs and market demand. Company can not do any forecast about the demand quantity. But in the short term production planning department and quality control department has some decisions. Production Planning Department makes some decisions especially about the production schedule and requirements about the production. During my practise , I spent not too much time on production planning, Ar-ge and Production departments. My first priority was quality assurance department and NDT. Fig.6.

TOMA Model 2500 [2] On this section, X-ray beams are used and filmed on KODAK Mx-125 industrial photographic paper in order to define whether the welded region is suitable for standards or not. This NDT technique is the most common and useful technique in Nurol Machinery Division. There are two X-ray sources brand name “Balteau CF5 Radiographic Equipment.”(Fig.5). Radiography section was working on the welding of aluminum fuel tanks in order to ensure there is no imperfections such as discontinuity or other welding defects. Since aluminum parts were welded , MIG/MAG welding was used on these armored fuel tanks which means Metal-Inert-Gas / Metal -Aktiv- Gas. The gas that used on these welding is Argon. On the other hand the possible errors in these parts can be exampled by discontinuity, porosity, spatter , scattered porosity( Appendix), gas cavities, etc. (Fig.4). On my summer practise , I worked on the armored fuel tanks of armored combat vehicles on NDT section. More specifically, on radiography section, I made the quality control of the aluminum tanks’ welded regions. Fig. 7. Production Area [2] References 1. n.d.). Department of defense standard practice.

First of all, technical drawing of the object, which is drawn by BMC itself or other companies, comes to the patternshop. It is examined here and a pattern is made according to that technical drawing. Pattern making is the art of making an original pattern or form which will be used to make a mold. A pattern is a form made of wood, metal or other suitable material such as wax, polystyrene or epoxy resin, around which molding material is packed to shape the casting cavity of a mold. The pattern is constructed to casting design with the addition of: (a) shrinkage allowance, to compensate for contraction of liquid metal during cooling; and (b) an allowance called taper or draft, on the vertical sides of the pattern to facilitate the removal from the sand or other molding medium. For long production runs metal pattern equipments are particularly well suited. Metal patterns and core boxes are more costly compared to wood patterns, but also more abrasion resistant, stronger, and dimensionally stable under changing humidity. They can be fabricated for use with automated high-pressure molding equipment, can be made to high dimensional tolerances, and can be used for a large number of castings before pattern repair or rework is necessary. There are several types of molding, but sand molding is the one that is using in BMC. Sand molding is one of the most versatile of metal-forming processes, providing great freedom of design in terms of shape, size, and product quality. In foundry of BMC bonded sand molds are using. In system of foundry, in order to obtain the molding sand; silica sand, bentonite and seacoal are mixed in the mixers with some water addition. BMC make their molds both by using automatic machines and also by using workers. After obtaining the green sand, for serial production castings, whose size also should be small within a limit, molds are filled by using jolt-squeeze molding machine. Molds are consisting of two parts, which are called cope and drag. Joltsqueeze molding machine fills these cope and drag in regular turns. BMC uses induction furnaces for melting process of ores that will be used in casting. Induction furnaces have gradually become the most widely used means for melting iron and, increasingly, nonferrous alloys as well. The key to the ready acceptance of this type of furnace has been its excellent metallurgical control coupled with its relatively pollution-free operation. Currently, induction furnaces are available in a wide variety of sizes. There are two classifications of induction furnaces: coreless and channel. However, for limited number of production or bigger sized castings molds are filled by workers by using hands and some hand tools. Since hand-made molds are not as pressed as molds squeezed by machine, there is a probability to spill of the sand. In order to prevent this probability, CO2 gas is blown inside of the sand along the holes that was made with some big needles. The gas blown in sand makes it rigid and tight; as a result it does not spill when turned over. Coreless Channel There are 2 induction furnaces in BMC with a capacity of 6 tons. Each of these furnaces can prepare 6 tons liquid metal (approximately 14500C) within an hour. In order to obtain the proper liquid metal, which should meet the needs of the properties of casting parts, charge materials are supplied into the furnaces. These materials are mixture of pig iron, residuals of castings, steel and alliage, which can be ferrochromium, ferrosilicon, copper, ferromolybdenum and ferromanganese. Charging amount of the materials is very important because these charge materials are placed in furnaces according to the intended chemical analysis of the casting object. Quality control is the last section of the foundry of BMC, however it is one of the most important sections, because it is the place where castings are controlled whether they are being produced properly or not; and also whether the technical drawings, which come to the foundry at first, are appropriate and logical or not. These controls are being done not only at the end of the whole process but also during the process. There are several controls under the title of quality control. These are; •Entrance control •Sand laboratory •Spectroscopy •Metallography •Measurement •Last control Entrance control : This control is done for checking the technical drawings in order to see whether they are right or not. Another usage of this control is to check any kind of casting part that BMC purchased from other companies. Sand Laboratory : Sand laboratory has just one aim, which is checking the properties of the sand that used in both mold and core making Spectroscopy : Spectroscopy is a electronic machine that can analyze the chemistry of a material, in other words, it does chemical analysis of a given sample. It is especially used during arranging the ratio of charge materials. Metallography : Metallography is the study of physical structure and components of the metals by using optical microscope. In BMC, tensile test samples are taken according to the weekly schedule. After the tensile test is done, a little part is taken from the broken part. It is first grinded then polished. Afterwards, it is examined under the optical microscope. Measurement : Measurement examination is done in order to check the casting objects in right dimensions. Last control : This is done when all the processes are over. It is not a detailed control, rather it is done by naked eye whether there are any defects on the castings or not.

Established on June 24, 1994 in Ankara as an independent legal entity, it is liable under special judiciary provisions with the objective of supporting the technological development in Turkey and of establishing and protecting of industrial property rights, as well as providing the public with the worldwide information on industrial property rights. As mentioned under the Vision of the institute, "The Turkish Patent Institute provides effective protection and widespread usage of industrial property rights ensuring that Turkish industry and technology plays a leading role in global competition. It strives to be a leading institution in the world of industrial property.“ Contact Person in the Organization: Salih BEKTAŞ e-mail:[email protected] Phone No: 03123031070 Week 2 TRADEMARKS Week 1 PATENTS/ UTILITY MODELS What is a trademark? What is patent? Patent, granted to the inventor for an invention, is one of the industrial property rights and it grants the right to prevent the production, utilisation or sale of the invention by others without permission of the inventor. What is utility model? The utility model is a system which provides protection of the novel not only in Turkey but also all through the world and industrially applicable inventions. The procedures for the issuance of a utility model certificate are much more convenient than the patent certificates in terms of time and expenses. It has been considered that the simple and inexpensive procedural proceedings for utility models may encourage especially the small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) and research institutions to make an invention and apply such inventions to the industry. Besides, particularly today, there exists a risk for the imitation of the inventions realised by the small and medium scale industrialists by the competitors in almost the same manner. Even if an invention is small and modest, the issuance of the utility model certificate for such an invention will serve as protection of the SMEs and their perpetuation economically. Novelty Inventive Step Industrial Applicability Methods and the products resulted from such methods Chemical substances Search Examination Publication Protection Period Patent + + + + + Utility Model + ˗ + ˗ ˗ + + + + 20/7 years The trademarks are protected mainly through registration. Registration of a trademark makes available a sound protection against particularly disputes arising from similarity or identical aspects, which may lead to confusion. Many people consider that registration of the commercial title and the commercial company into the trade registration offices mean simultaneous protection of the trademark. This is the most common misperception. It is important to comprehend the differences between the commercial titles and the trademarks. Commercial title is the full name of your company e.g. “Abc Kimya Sanayi Anonim Şirketi” etc and identifies your company. Such titles generally end with “Ltd. Co.” or “Corp.”, which defines the legal structure of the company. The trademark is the sign, which makes your product/products different than others. Any company may have various trademarks. For example; “Abc Kimya Sanayi Anonim Şirketi” may use different trademarks for the different products marketed by the said company. Such trademarks may not only be similar with the commercial title (e.g. “ABC”) but also a totally different wording than the commercial title (e.g. XYZ). • Registration of a trademark shall grant the holder of the said ˗ ˗ ˗ + 10 years SEARCH EXAMINATION(1-3 times) The Patent Certificate 20 years Protection of the trademarks What rights are acquired through registration of the trademark by the trademark holder.

Week 3 INDUSTRIAL DESIGN Week 4 GEOGRAPHICAL SIGNS What is an industrial design? What is a geographical sign? The industrial designs are any product or pieces of such products which accompany us in our daily lives and facilitates our lives; the patterns, ornaments which make our lives colourful and address our senses. The glass out of which we drink water, the introductory posters of a movie, the patterns on our clothes, calculator, keyboard , chair, jacket, car, traffic plates, watch, thermometer, toys, the page-setting of the date book, glasses, bags etc are the examples to this. So, the design can best be expressed as the entirety of the various features such as lines, colour, texture, shape, sound, elasticity, material or other characteristics perceived by the human senses of the appearance of the whole or part of a product or its ornamentation. What is the scope of the rights for designs, how does registration protect ? The holder shall have the exclusive rights through protection of industrial design by registration. The third parties cannot produce, market, sell, import, or enter into contract, use the same for commercial purposes or with hold the registered designs without permission of the holder of the design rights. What is the novelty in designs? If the design has not been made available to the public in the world prior to the application date or the priority date, such a design shall be deemed to be “new”. If the designs differ only in immaterial details, they shall be considered as identical. To make available to the public shall cover of all actions of sale, use, publication, publicity, exhibiting, or such similar activities. If a design for which protection is claimed has been made available to the public during the twelvemonth period preceding the date of the filing of the application by the designer or his successor in title or by a third person having their approval, such disclosure shall not affect the novelty. What is an individual character? A design shall be understood to have an individual character if the overall impression it creates on the informed user is significantly different from the overall impression created on the same user by any design. What is priority right? It shortly means the priority rights. Depending on the previously made proper applications for the design registrations abroad or on the exhibitions for this specific purpose, the Applicants will hold priority rights to make an application in Turkey for the same design within six months as from the date of first filing. The geographical sign is an industrial property right describing a product originated from any region or attributable to any region due to its quality, reputation or other characteristics. Any product, fruit, stone, mine of any region may be different from those in the other regions or any carpet, pileless carpet, fabric, tile etc may have attained reputation for whatsoever is the reason. Use of the name of the region with such products may be perceived by the consumers as their distinctive features from those with similar nature. The consumers may prefer the products sold through the name of such regions in lieu of the other products due to the fact that they rely on the name of the region. What is the superiority of the geographical signs over other industrial property rights? The superiority of geographical signs over other industrial property rights is that it protects not only a manufacturer who applies for the registration of a geographical sign but also all those people manufacturing under same conditions. Because geographical signs have some sort of anonymity, a kind of local, regional, country wise generality , the rights provided through such signs cannot be attributed to an individual or individuals. Why the registration of a geographical sign is required? The registration of any geographical sign is made due to two reasons : 1. Protection of the quality of the product which is the subject of the geographical sign and provision of the production according to the known speciality. 2. Provision of the benefiting from the protection of the manufacturers and the region for which geographical sign is granted, through registration in the first priority. The consumers may prefer such products due to their reliance on the region and the products which are sold under the name of such region. Therefore it is beneficial for the people of the region to protect the name of the region which has become the symbol of quality for any given product as a geographical sign. A geographical sign adds dynamic marketing power to the product and functions as the regional or social development tool through its anonymous possession force. It is especially an important means for rural development. One of the aims and benefits of the protection through geographical sign is to prevent misleading the consumers by using the wordings on the geographical signs on false products which fail to attain the necessary characteristics. Thus it assists in the protection of the consumers.

It was founded on September 2, 1960. This institution has up to 131 laboratories for students, professors, and also for community service. The summer practice program was conducted under a supervisor whose name is Dr. Ir. Abdullah ([email protected]/+62811687767) and he is the head Construction and Building Materials Laboratory. A new building material for the people in that area is being developed in the laboratory and it is called Batafoam. In the 5 different process to produce this material, only three main raw materials are needed. This material has several advantageous properties to be applied to the buildings, houses, and schools in that developing city. Week 1 During the first week, all about the laboratory was introduced directly by the head of Construction and Building Materials Laboratory. Moreover, an overview about the production of the lightweight foamed concrete, or specifically Batafoam, was explained. I was also introduced to a master scholar who is studying his graduate program at this institution. Week 2 Week 3 In the second week, we focused to understand thoroughly about the production process of the Batafoam. Starting from introduction to the raw materials, the equipment, and finally the five main production processes. During the third week, from the production process we moved to study the superior properties of the Batafoam. This is done by consulting to the professor in the laboratory who has conducted various experiments about the Batafoam. ` Raw Materials Superior Properties Low Density Cement Water Foam Proportioning Process Batafoam Batafoam can be interpreted as a concrete in which there are air bubbles are distributed and dispersed homogenously in the concrete mass. The surface structure of Batafoam resembles the usual structure of concrete which is generally porous. Mixing Process Week 4 A Perfect Heat Insulator An Excellent Sound Absorber Transportation Process Long Durability Casting and Placement Process Has Self Levelling Ability • The overall weight of the load can be reduced by third. • Suitable for the low quality soil construction area. • Cannot dissipate heat from the inside of the room to the outside, or in other words, it can make the temperature constant. In the fourth week, we started to focus on the application of the Batafoam. The method to install this material in a construction of a building and its time efficiency is explained by the supervisor. Based on the superior properties that have been possessed by this lightweight foam concrete, the Batafoam, this material attracts some contractors. And they have applied it to some existing buildings in the Province of Aceh. These buildings which use the Batafoam instead of ordinary red brick in their construction in Banda Aceh, namely Lab School Unsyiah (Picture), the houses which are the donations for the earthquake and tsunami victims, and official building. • Unlike the conventional concrete which tends to reflect the sound, this foamed concrete generally absorbs the sound. •Batafoam that has been casted on 10 years before only had 75% of the cement hydration. Thus, the development of the strength can be expected to continue taking place by the hydration. • At the time this foamed concrete in the form of cement paste, they will fill overall the gaps and vacancy in the molds in the casting process Lab School Unsyiah References Curing Process Surface Structure of Batafoam Quick Installation •The comparison of dimensions between Batafoam with the ordinary red brick is 1:8. Then the installation time of Batafoam to a building construction is more than five times faster.. Abdullah.(2010). Lightweight Concrete as Alternative Construction Material.

Tel: (0216)585 8565 E-mail: [email protected] Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 The subject of the project that had been conducted is determined as «Lead-free solder alloys and enhancing their properties by microalloying with transition metals». Three ternary alloy samples; To observe whether Fe microalloying did enhance or worsened the properties, a simple test is done for all the alloys. The wetting angles were obtained by a costum made contact angle device. An intensive literature review was done about the alloys that are used by the global market leaders and the alloys used in Arçelik products. Sn-Ag-Cu ternary system was selected as the alloy system of concern, since several compositions of this system (Sn3Ag-0.5Cu and Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu) are being used in electronic parts of Arçelik products. Furhermore, a brief patent review was done for the lead-free alloy compositions and for microalloyed lead-free solder compositions. • SAC 305 (Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu) • SAC Eutectic (Sn-3.5Ag-0.9Cu) • SAC 205 (Sn-2Ag-0.5Cu) and three Fe microalloyed samples • SAC 205-1 (Sn-2Ag-0.5Cu-0.05Fe) • SAC 205-2 (Sn-2Ag-0.5Cu-0.1Fe) • SAC 205-3 (Sn-2Ag-0.5Cu-0.2Fe) were produced by the apparatus in the below figure. The apparatus consists of a quartz tube as container, a silicone tap and two copper pipes that is planted on the silicone tap. From the literature, it is known that wetting is an critical property that affects a solder alloys reliability[1]. It is also known that electronic cards that are used in Arçelik products have copper substrates. Thus, wetting angles of all six alloys, ternary and microalloyed, are determined just by melting and solidifiying tiny pieces of solder on copper plates as seen in the figure below. Each alloying constituent was weigthed in a presicion balance and was put into the quartz tube. Before the melting process, argon gas is given inside the tube via one of the copper pipes to obtain a cleaner athmosphere. The argon gas reimained flowing during the melting, also. The results shows that SAC 305 has the best wetting angle among ternary alloys. However, SAC 205 with %0.1 Fe has the best wetting angle among both microalloyed and ternary alloys (SAC 205 has worser wetting than SAC 305). Hence, this proves that microalloying can enhance certain properties of lead-free solders. 44 43 42 41 40 47 39 46 38 45 37 44 205 205-A (%0,5 Fe) 205-B (%1,0 Fe) 205-C (%2,0 Fe) 43 42 References 41 40 305 Eutectic 205 [1] Abtew, M., & Selvaduray, G.

Pre-cleaning stage: Advantages of Brazing : • It's easy to learn. • You can join virtually any dissimilar metals. Three types of torch brazing; • The bond line can be very neat in appearance. -manual torch brazing -automatic torch brazing • Joint strength is strong enough for most non-heavy-duty use applications. Disadvantages of Brazing : • A badly brazed joint looks similar to a good joint, and can have a VERY low strength. •The metal used to bond the two parts may be different in color than the parts being bonded. This may or may not be a problem. • Long-term effects of dissimilar metals in constant contact may need to be examined for special applications. •Since the filler material melts at a relatively low temperature, brazed parts may not be put in an environment which exceeds the melting point of the filler metal. -machine torch brazing • It is best used in small production volumes or in specialized operations • Manual torch brazing is a procedure where the heat is applied using a gas flame placed on or near the joint being brazed. • Machine torch brazing is commonly used where a repetitive braze operation is being carried out. Ultrasonic cleaning stage: • Acetone (99% purity) is performed • Effective on the pieces which have complicated geometry As an estimated conclusion if the filler materials thickness increases, the strenght of the brazed material will increase. However, it is valid only up to some certain thickness value. • Automatic torch brazing is a method that almost eliminates the need for manual labor in the brazing operation, except for loading and unloading of the machine. Vacuum brazing: • Temperature uniformity is maintained on the work piece when heating in a vacuum, greatly reducing residual stresses due to slow heating and cooling cycles. • Vacuum brazing is often conducted in a furnace References Aselsan.

Prof. Dr. Abdullah ÖZTÜRK Trakya Döküm is a world class ISO/TS 16949 certified Disamatic foundry producing cast and machined parts in all grades of ductile, grey and malleable irons destined for the automotive, white goods, construction, hydraulics, electronics, machinery, railway and for some other different field of operations. Contact: Birol BARUT e-mail: [email protected] Number: 0532 517 50 58 WEEK 1 Coreroom: Trakya Döküm produces its own cores by its own core production machines. Company has 3 different coremaking processes which are hot-box, coldbox and shell methods. WEEK 2 WEEK 3 Pattern Design and Production: Trakya Disamatic Routes: In these routes, pieces at Döküm produces its own patterns into highly equipped pattern shops of its own by needs of the production. Patterns may be made of iron, steel, poliurethane or bronze. the interval 0.1-30 kg are casted. The produced casting pieces’ maximum dimensions changes due to the mass and design. Hot box: Resin, sand and hardener are mixed by the instructions to produce a core that has the property wanted. The mixture that has produced are transmitted into the core box by blowing air and hardened by roasting in 200-220̊C. Hardened cores are ready after air cooling. Cold Box: Into liquid phenolic and isocyanate resins are mixed with sand and blown into the core box. Core box is given dimethylethylamine gas in order to harden the core. Shell: Sand is covered with phenolic resin at 125̊C and cooled. Sand is roasted into the core box at 220-250̊C. Methods Price Production Painting Hot –Box Expensive Normal No Shell Expensive Slow No Cold-Box Cheap Fast Must Table-1: Comparison of Core Production Methods Sand Plant: To decrease the production costs, sand is used again and again.Sand plant gives the opportunity to recycle the sand. After the usage in Disamatic lines, cores are broken by vibration and the possible metal parts are cleaned out in three steps by the help of meshes, centrifuging and magnetic impact. Then the sand is washed to clean out other materials inside. Cleaned sand is moved into the bunkers. For the production of both patterns and cores, old sand and new sand mixture is used in proper ratio. To make new patterns, old sand, new sand, bentonite as cement, coaldust and water at 50̊C are mixed in sand plant with a proper ratio to get required tensile strength, gas permeability, sand compressibilty etc. WEEK 4 Laboratories: Trakya Döküm’s laboratory facilities; • Dimensional Laboratory • Metallurgical & Material Laboratory 2013 MK4A 2013 MK5A 230X • Sand Laboratory Width(mm) 480 480 535 • Fittings Laboratory Length(mm) 600 600 750 Height(mm) 200 200 200 In these facilities Trakya Döküm has the opportunity to make microstructure, failure or quality analysis.

Responsible Engineer:Fahir Kubilay 03122526200 Non-Destructive Testing: Dye Penetrating- Magnetic Particle Testing- Ultrasonic Testing-Eddy Current Testing- Xray Inspection Material Improvment Process:Shot Peening DYE PENETRATING MAGNETIC PARTICLE TESTING ULTRASONIC WAVE INSPECTION SHOT PEENING Shot peening is a cold working process in which small spherical media called shot bombard the surface of a part. During the shot peening process, each piece of shot that strikes the material acts as a tiny peening hammer, imparting to the surface a small indentation or dimple. To create the dimple, the surface of the material must yield in tension. Below the surface, the material tries to restore its original shape, thereby producing below the dimple, a hemisphere of cold-worked material highly stressed in compression. Figure4: Longitudinal and circumferential crack inspection Figure1:Metal Parts With Penetrant Layer This method is frequently used for the detection of surface breaking flaws in nonferromagnetic materials.The subject to be examined is first of all chemically cleaned, usually by vapour Phase, to remove all traces of foreign material, grease, dirt, etc. from the surface generally, and also from within the cracks. Next the penetrant (which is a very fine thin oil usually dyed bright red or ultra-violet fluorescent) is applied and allowed to remain in contact with the surface for approximately fifteen minutes. Capillary action draws the penetrant into the crack during this period.The surplus penetrant on the surface is then removed completely and thin coating of powdered chalk is applied.After a further period (development time) the chalk draws the dye out of the crack,rather like blotting paper, to form a visual, magnified in width, indication in good contrast to the background. The principle is to generate magnetic flux in the article to be examined, with the flux lines running along the surface at right angles to the suspected defect. Where the flux lines approach a discontinuity they will stray out in to the air at the mouth of the crack. The crack edge becomes magnetic attractive poles North and South. These have the power to attract finely divided particles of magnetic material such as iron fillings. Usually these particles are of an oxide of iron in the size range 20 to 30 microns, and are suspended in a liquid which provides mobility for the particles on the surface of the test piece, assisting their migration to the crack edges. RADIOGRAPHIC INSPECTION Figure6:Ultrasonic Testing Equipment This technique is used for the detection of internal and surface (particularly distant surface) defects in sound conducting materials. The principle is in some respects similar to echo sounding. A short pulse of ultrasound is generated by means of an electric charge applied to a piezo electric crystal, which vibrates for a very short period at a frequency related to the thickness of the crystal. In flaw detection this frequency is usually in the range of one million to six million times per second (1 MHz to 6 MHz). Vibrations or sound waves at this frequency have the ability to travel a considerable distance in homogeneous elastic material, such as many metals with little attenuation. The velocity at which these waves propagate is related to the Young’s Modulus for the material and is characteristic of that material. EDDY CURRENT TESTING Figure8:Principle of shot peening application In most modes of long-term failure, the common denominator is tensile stress. Tensile stresses attempt to stretch or pull the surface apart and may eventually lead to crack initiation. Because crack growth is slowed significantly in a compressive layer, increasing the depth of this layer increases crack resistance. Shot peening is the most economical and practical method of ensuring surface residual compressive stresses. Typical examples of premature failure which improved by shot peening: Metal fatigue Corrosion fatigue Stress corrosion cracking Intergranular corrosion Galling Spalling Wear Figure2:Penetration process of metal Figure5:Working principle of X-ray radiography This technique is suitable for the detection of internal defects in ferrous and nonferrous metals and other materials. Advantages of Radiography • Information is presented pictorially. • A permanent record is provided which may be viewed at a time and place distant from the test. • Useful for thin sections. • Sensitivity declared on each film. • Suitable for any material. Disadvantages of Radiography Figure3:Penetrant applied metal under UV light • Generally an inability to cope with thick sections. • Possible health hazard. • Need to direct the beam accurately for two-dimensional defects. • Film processing and viewing facilities are necessary, as is an exposure compound. • Not suitable for automation, unless the system incorporates fluoroscopy with an image intensifier or other electronic aids • Not suitable for surface defects. • No indication of depth of a defect below the surface Figure7:Eddy Current Testing Equipment in 5th Main Maintenance The main applications of the eddy current technique are for the detection of surface or subsurface flaws, conductivity measurement and coating thickness measurement. The technique is sensitive to the material conductivity, permeability and dimensions of a product. Eddy currents can be produced in any electrically conducting material that is subjected to an alternating magnetic field The magnitude of the eddy currents generated in the product is dependent on conductivity, permeability and the set up geometry. Any change in the material or geometry can be detected by the excitation coil as a change in the coil impedance Figure9: Shot peening equipment used in 5th main maintenence REFERENCES http://www.kkk.tsk.tr/internet/5ABM/en/index.html http://www.turkndt.org/sub/makale/ornek/a%20brief%20description%20of%20NDT.pdf http://www.metalimprovement.com/shot_peening.php Summer Practice METE 400 Fall 2012/2013 İhsan Anıl ÇIRAĞ TIRSAN Trailer Ticaret ve Nakliyat A.Ş.

However, these symbols are not a must. • Industrial design provides improvement of physical human/product interaction by combination of artistic and scientific techniques. • The geographical sign describes a product originated from or attributed to a specific region due to its prominence. • Geographical signs are different from other industrial property certifications in manner of protecting not only the applicant, but also all other manufacturers making production by fulfilling under the requirements and conditions. • The main difference between patent and utility model is that the application does not require a so-called «inventive step». However, it takes much less time and investment granting for utility model; therefore, it is most suitable for small and medium scale enterprises. • After the registration of an industrial design, the applicant holds the right and permission of producing, marketing, selling andimporting the product with that design solely.

Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 At first week, I mainly researched about carbon nanotubes through the resources of the company and through the internet. In second week, I joined the drills to produce carbon nanotubes. First drill was unsuccessful due to leakage on the connection point of hydrocarbon gas pump and quartz tube. Then this location was covered with polyesther. After the production, quartz tube was full of ferrocene residue that was thick orange colored. At 4th week we made a last drill and produced carbon nanotubes. This researched showed that carbon nanotubes are superior to common materials known in more than one way.

This polyester zone prevented the leakage and the next drill to produce carbon nanotubes was successful. At the end of the 3rd week, I did some translations of Nanocyl products to Turkish for merchandising it in here. These translations can be found at Nanografi webpage, under products. Then most of the people went to Eskişehir for European Union Project meeting. The project aimed for finding a material that shows good mechanical properties and thermal conduction and carbon nanotubes is a good candidate. When they were missing, I sen emails to the given companies the translations I made for advertisement purposes.

Turk Traktor Operation Papers Summer Practice METE 400 Fall 2012/2013 Taylan UZUNLAR BOSCH Thermo Technique Prof. Dr. Yavuz TOPKAYA The Bosch Group is a leading global supplier of technology and services. According to preliminary figures, more than 300,000 associates generated sales of 51.4 billion euros in the areas of automotive and industrial technology, consumer goods, and building technology in fiscal 2011. The Bosch Group comprises Robert Bosch GmbH and its more than 350 subsidiaries and regional companies in some 60 countries. If its sales and service partners are included, then Bosch is represented in roughly 150 countries. This worldwide development, manufacturing, and sales network is the foundation for further growth. Bosch spent more than 4 billion Euros for research and development in 2011, and applied for over 4,100 patents worldwide [1]. Günay GÜLSEVEN, who graduated from Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, METU, was my responsible engineer at Bosch Thermo Technique. Week 1 In the first week of the summer practice, general briefing about the company, its shareholders, location and employees was given to all interns. Then, some theoretical knowledge about the safety, accidents and manufacturing flow were explained in order to increase the efficiency of the summer practice. There are departments of first quality control, product line quality control and research and development quality control because Bosch Company is very sensitive about quality of products. During first quality control, products which were supplied from sub-industry were checking. Week 2 In the second week, I stayed at the purchasing quality department because purchasing quality is the most related department for metallurgical and materials engineers. Therefore, I spent 20 days of my summer practice at the purchasing quality department. In this second week, product line quality tests were done. During product line quality, product resistance, product life, and effects of products on human health were tested. During R&D quality control, parts of new products were controlled. If the product gets OK after controls, mass production starts. Week 3 In the third week, ordered list of parts using for central heating boiler were made. Needed parts in that list were supplied. Then, they were prepared to be tested for different type of tests such as electronic tests, mechanical tests and chemical tests. Types of mechanical tests are hardness measurement, tension test, shear test, compression test and 3D measuring device. Impermeability test were applied for some parts of central heating boiler which contact with water. If the tested part of the central heating boiler passes the test, then it refers as NFF (No Failure Found). If it can not pass the test, then it is sent to supplier. Figure 2. Bakelite Coating Device. Figure 1. Condensing Heat Boiler. Week 4 In the last week of the summer practice, computer programs, which are necessary for checking all kinds of results about products, were introduced. In addition to these, detailed informations about central heat boilers that are produced at Bosch Company were given. At Bosch Company, condensing central heating boiler and conventional (non-condensing) central heat boiler are produced. Bosch Company’s Classic Condense wall-hung condensing boiler is convincing thanks to numerous advantages packed into the smallest volume of space: it’s solar compatible; its child’s play to operate via the multifunctional display; and it offers perfect heating convenience [1]. On the other hand, Non-condense heat boilers are energy efficient and are subject to stringent safety standards, you do not need elaborate safety mechanisms on the tank. Instead, underground lines bring the natural gas directly to your home [1]. References Figure 3.
