    Despite the widespread use of Mg and Al alloys among light metals in the automobile and aviation industries, they have low tensile and fatigue strength. Therefore, in the present work, AZ91 Mg and AA6063 Al alloys were coated with a multilayer transition metal nitride film (Cr/CrN/TiCrN/TiCrCN) to increase fatigue and tensile strength. Films with Cr/CrN/TiCrN/TiCrCN microstructure architecture were synthesized on the surfaces of AZ91 Mg and AA6063 Al alloys using the CFUBMS (closed-field unbalanced magnetron sputtering) system, one of the PVD (physical vapor deposition) techniques. Films’ structural properties were analyzed by XRD, SEM, and EDAX, whereas mechanical properties were investigated using tensile and rotary bending fatigue testing machines. According to the SEM examination, the Cr, CrN, TiCrN, and TiCrCN multilayer nitride films on the two alloys have a columnar and dense microstructure. The XRD analysis detected Cr (211), CrN (111) and (200), TiN (111), (200) and (222), and TiCN (200) and (311) diffraction peaks. The Cr/CrN/TiCrN/TiCrCN multilayer coating increased the fatigue limit value of AZ91 by 11.22% from 70.26 MPa to 78.15 MPa. The fatigue limit value of AA6063 decreased by 9.79% from 79.71 MPa to 71.9 MPa. After coating, the tensile strength value of AZ91 increased from 137.89 MPa to 139.65 MPa, while the tensile strength of AA6063 decreased from 129.35 MPa to 118.16 MPa.

    Strength Analysis in Bonded, Bolted and Bolted-Bonded Joints, Single Lap Joints, Metal/Composite Plates

    Sadık, Ali; Karabudak, Filiz

    Today, especially in many fields that require structural durability, such as the aerospace and automotive industries, there has been a need to use different bonding techniques separately or together in order to use materials together with different mechanical properties. In this study, stress and damage analysis of single lap joints, bonding and bolt-bonding metal/composite joints under tensile loads were performed. The nine kinds of single lap joint models in different combinations (bonded, bolted and bolt-bonded) were prepared by using acrylic adhesive (Acrytron 1E1) and 100-25-3 mm in size; AZ91/AZ91, AZ91-carbon fiber and carbon fiber-carbon fiber plates. Some comparisons were carried out by examining the stresses and deformations that occur in joint models exposed to tensile and 4-point bending tests. As a result of the tensile test, it was determined that the highest maximum tensile stress occurred in AZ91-CF bolt-bonded samples. In the four-point bending test, the maximum shear force value was determined in the CF-CF bolted-bonded samples.
