Allied closed-loop supply chain network optimization with interactive fuzzy programming approach

ÇALIK, Ahmet | PEHLİVAN, Nimet Yapıcı | PAKSOY, Turan | KARAOĞLAN, İsmail

The concept of closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) has started to attract growing attention due to the consumer pressures, environmental awareness, and legislations. Managers in many companies have realized that a well-designed supply chain (SC) can improve the companies’ performance in the market. Thus, a lot of companies start to focus on CLSC issues including remanufacturing, refurbishing, recycling, and disposal of end-of-life products. The body of literature on CLSC management has been overwhelmingly dominated by noncooperative studies. In order to fill up this gap in the literature, we deal ...Daha fazlası

On the Interpretation of Melt Quality Assessment of A356 Aluminum Alloy by the Reduced Pressure Test: The Bifilm Index and Its Physical Meaning

ULUDAĞ, Muhammet | ÇETİN,Remzi | DIŞPINAR, Derya | TİRYAKİOĞLU, Murat

The oxide layer on liquid aluminum serves as a protective property to prevent the alloy from further oxidation. However, it has the potential to be a source of porosity when entrained into the bulk of the liquid. For this reason, oxides entrained into aluminum castings have been shown to degrade casting quality. In the current study, the effectiveness of the reduced pressure test in assessing the quality of A356 alloy melts has been investigated under various conditions obtained by changing six different melt parameters. Several metrics, including average pore size, number density of pores, bi ...Daha fazlası
