Abstract
Cold-rolled Co-Cr-Ni alloy (Elgiloy) and Co-Ni-Cr alloy (SPRON 510) can be considered for diaphragm valve materials in gas valve systems. In this study, the effect of direct aging (DA) heat treatment on the tensile properties of Co-based alloys was investigated and the influence of microstructural changes on the tensile behavior.....

Abstract
This study examines the thermal aging behavior and associated changes in mechanical properties of austenitic stainless steel welds (ASSW) used within reactor vessel internals (RVI). ASSW specimens were fabricated employing the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) technique, adhering to the welding procedure specifications for RVI, and were thermally aged at..... More

Abstract
To combat global climate change caused by CO₂ emissions, achieving net-zero emissions through sustainable energy solutions is a global priority. Among alternative energy carriers, hydrogen is a promising renewable energy source due to its efficiency in production, transportation, and storage. Liquefied hydrogen (LH₂) transportation is gaining attention as it significantly..... More

Abstract
This study investigates the solidification cracking susceptibility of Cu-Steel laser welds used for cylindrical lithium-ion battery busbars. The research utilized green laser technology with three distinct beam patterns: Linear, Spiral + Wobble, and Circular + Wobble. Additionally, Ni-P coating layers of varying thicknesses (10, 50, 100 μm) were applied to..... More

Abstract
Solidification cracking in brazed joints is significantly influenced by solidification conditions and alloy composition, making it a critical factor for the reliability of parts and products. Numerous studies have been conducted to predict solidification cracking in processes like casting, welding, and joining, leading to the development of an index to..... More

Abstract
This study investigates the influence of grain boundary characteristics on hydrogen embrittlement in SA372 steels by varying Ni content and tempering temperature. Microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties were analyzed to understand hydrogen trapping behavior, followed by an in-situ slow strain-rate test (SSRT) to assess hydrogen embrittlement resistance and hydrogen-induced fracture.....

Abstract
As demand for hydrogen, a clean energy source, has increased, hydrogen embrittlement caused by hydrogen penetration into materials has became a major challenge. This study evaluated the effect of crystallographic orientation on hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity, using single-crystal Ni-based superalloys that are used in hydrogen gas turbines. The two crystallographic orientations..... More
