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.

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.

•
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.

Week 1
Week 2
Week 3
Week 4
On the first week of the summer
training, certain amount of time was
spent on the melting process ,usage of
thermocouples ,preparing specimens
for laboratory and Casting.
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
.

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.

- In Güral Porselen Company, %70 of the production of
porcelain is made by isostatic presses. 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.

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

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”).

Laser Cutting and Drilling
Week 2
Special Processes
Plasma Spray Coating
The Plasma Spray Process is basically the spraying of
molten or heat softened material onto a surface to
provide a coating. 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 .

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.

Phone Number: 0312 497 4660
Establisment of FNSS has aimed to design, develop, and produce the Armored Combat Vehicles(ACV),and weapon systems for Turkish and
its allied armies by using of welding and machining processes
Week 1
Marketing Department provides advertising,
promotions, assisting universities, and
supporting charitable institution in order to
protect the brand equity of FNSS. Moreover, it
organizes advertiser fairs and also attend fairs.
This department organizes the website of the
company, and gives advertisements and
announcements in electronic form. It also
organizes some competitions and sponsor to
some competitions as well. Development of job,
protection of brand equity, and purchasing are
main responsibilities of marketing. Over-all,
marketing department manages all of the
company by use of process management
techniques.
How a company should be managed and there is
how kind of an atmosphere in management
departments are observed. Also how managers
and directors act as and how they spend their
time. Additionally, process management and
development is taught by industrial engineers.
Week 2
Machining, research and development
departmants are observed briefly. In
machining part, the unwanted metal from
a workpiece in the form of chips is
removed for getting a product of desired
sizes and also shapes by machines which
use CNS codes.Tool geometry, work
hardening and temperature of
environment are all calibrated while this
process was applying.
Research and Development department consists of four main units.
These are design, electric and electronic, materials and ballistic, and test
and analysis.
Design: All projects are designed.
Electric and electronic: This unit determines where
electric and electronic are necessary, and fulfill them to necessary parts.
Materials and ballistic: This unit determines all
requirements of materials and ballistic , and fulfill them to necassary
parts.
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)

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.

Nurol Machinery & Ind. 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.

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.

Patternshop

Melting
Quality Control
Casting period starts in patternshop.
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.

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.

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).

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.

Construction and Building Materials Laboratory at Syiah Kuala University
Advisor : Prof. Dr. Abdullah Öztürk
Syiah Kuala University (UNSYIAH) is the oldest and the largest national university in Aceh Province of Indonesia. 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. `

• 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

•The comparison of dimensions
between Batafoam with the ordinary

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.

Cleaning processes
Process of Brazing
• The surfaces should be cleaned carefully
Torch brazing:
Case: How the filler thickness
affect strenght?
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

TESTS AND ANALYSIS
Picture1. The spectrometer for
chemical analysis.
One of the primary aims in mechanical property
tests is to determine conformance or nonconformance to specifications. The data may thus
serve as an index of the quality of a product in
comparison with the data obtained from other
sources. Such data may also be used to compare
a given material with other materials and in
conjunction with other factors, may assist in the
replacement improvement of a material.
Manufacturers frequently use tension testing data
for control of manufacturing methods, as well as for
a guide in developing new materials

unload raw materials required by increase in productions. In this content, dredging
works of 19 meters water depth to accept the ships up to 180.000 DWT at Dock No.1
started in 2005 and completed in 2008. Water depth of Docks No3.& 4. has
increased to 13.5 and 13 meters by dredging. Two new cargo cranes which each
have 55 tons capacity are erected at the Dock No.5. A new slab & coil stockyard
(picture 2) erected on the cargo mole between Docks No.3.4.&5. Today, İsdemir
harbor has 2 unit 50 tons unloading cranes, 5 unit 15 tons cargo cranes, 4 unit 10
tons cargo cranes and 2 unit 55 tons cargo cranes. These properties of İsdemir
harbor make it one of the biggest harbors in the Mediterranean Sea.

Rolling Mills
Rolling is called obtaining a finished product (coil, bobbin, and deformed
construction bar) by giving it a plastic form after passing the semi-finished
product heated up to the tempering temperature (billet or slab) through 2
cylinders (roll) turning around their axis.
There is a wire rolling mill in ISDEMIR having a capacity of 700.000 tones/year.
The semi finished (billet) product to be hot rolled are firstly heated up to the
tempering temperature of steel (1050-1200 °C) in proportion of the carbon
amount of steel in tempering furnaces. Natural gas is used in tempering furnaces.
Incase natural is not available, fuel oil can be used. The billet

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

Inductotherm Furnaces: Heating occurs
basically by the usage of alternative current
and the created alternative magnetic field. The
magnetic field inside the induction furnace
provides quick heating and melting. Also this
magnetic field makes the molten metal inside
the furnace to mix naturally. Another point is,
the metal is not in contact with the heating
units. This case offers an environment to get
high quality and purity molten metals.

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

Geological Signs
• Patents and utility models are
two different type of
certificates basically
protecting an invention.
• Trademarks serve for stating the
difference of the product of a
company from similar products of
other companies.
• Trademarks are particular for
products and they are not related
to the commercial title of a
company.
• Registration of a trademark
provides protection to the
company for the sole use of the
specific name for a product and
provides a legal right against
unpermitted use of that
trademark.
• Using internationally accepted
symbols such as ® and TM states
the fact that the sign is already
registered as a trademark.
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

Week 1
Patents & Utility Models
•
•
Patents and utility models are
two different type of
certificates basically
protecting an invention.
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.
Week 2
Trademarks
•
Trademarks serve for stating the
difference of the product of a
company from similar products of
other companies.
•
Trademarks are particular for
products and they are not related
to the commercial title of a
company.
•
Registration of a trademark
provides protection to the
company for the sole use of the
specific name for a product and
provides a legal right against
unpermitted use of that
trademark.
•
Using internationally accepted
symbols such as ® and TM states
the fact that the sign is already
registered as a trademark.
However, these symbols are not a
must.
Week 3
Industrial Design
•
•
Industrial design provides
improvement of physical
human/product interaction by
combination of artistic and
scientific techniques.
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 4
Geological Signs
•
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.

Prof. Dr. M. Kadri AYDINOL
•
Erkunt Industry Inc. was constructed as a pattern shop in 1953 by Mümin Erkunt and his partners. In 1955, name of the company was changed as “Erkunt Unlimited Company Senior Engineer Mümin Erkunt and His Partners”. Then, in 1959, investments for machining of the
casting products were started and as a result of this, it took the name of “Erkunt Industry Inc.” in 1960. The first Erkunt product which was exported was sent to Germany in 1980. In 1989, in order to develop machining capacity, high technology CNC (Computer Numerical
Control) machine investments were begun. Implementation of quality systems start with QS 9000 Quality Management System, TSE-ISO-EN 9001 and BS EN ISO 9002 Quality Management System. Now the company holds ISO/TS 16949 Quality Management System, ISO 14001
Environmental Quality Management System, OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety System, and Q1 Quality Award (Given by Ford Inc.). The main products that Erkunt produce are engine blocks, cylinder heads, power shifht group, oil panels, axle hausings, flywheel
and flywheel hausings, gear boxes, and transmission hausings.

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.

To clean up the tube, we came to the
METU Metallutgical and Materials
Engineering labs and cleaned the
tube by using HCl solution.
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.

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].
