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 />
