CHAPTER 3<br />
EXPERIMENTAL<br />
In this chapter, the materials <strong>use</strong>d and the experimental procedure are expla<strong>in</strong>ed.<br />
The thesis is releated to the study <strong>of</strong> diffusion <strong>of</strong> titanium wire, titantium plate, copper<br />
wire and sta<strong>in</strong>less steel wire <strong>in</strong>to alum<strong>in</strong>a.<br />
3.1. Materials<br />
In this thesis, first a variety <strong>of</strong> high-purity alum<strong>in</strong>a powders made by different<br />
manufacturers (CT3000SG, ALCOA, 99,9%) (AKP50, Sumitomo, 99,9%) (CR6,<br />
Baikowski, 99,9%) (CR15, Baikowski, 99,9%) (CR30F, Baikowski, 99,9%) were <strong>use</strong>d<br />
to prepare the base materials. The smallest sizes (125µm) <strong>of</strong> pure titanium (Timet,<br />
Turkey) and sta<strong>in</strong>less steel wires (Elsan, Turkey) and titanium plate (Timet, Turkey)<br />
were <strong>use</strong>d <strong>in</strong> order to produce micro-tunnels. Figure 3.1 shows photographs <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong><br />
the as-received samples. Below are given the properties <strong>of</strong> the start<strong>in</strong>g powders (Table<br />
3.1).<br />
