                <text>In this paper, we aim to present the results of a descriptive study investagiting the metacognitive awareness levels of students in a Turkish EFL context. More specifically, we report the effect of two variables,  proficiency level and language skills, on students’ prospective and retrospective test score estimates. At the end of every eight weeks, students are given a level test which includes two stages. The first stage is a 100-item multiple choice test measuring students’ receptive skills. The second includes writing and speaking tests measuring students’ productive skills. In the present study, prior to the administration of each test component  (receptive, written and spoken) students studying at four different levels (from A1 to B2) were asked to predict the grade they thought they would get by circling one of five grade ranges (below 60, 60-69, 70-79, 80-89, 90-100) . The same procedure was repeated retrospectively. The paper ends with the discussion of the results and implications of metacognitive awareness for second language acquisition efficacy.   </text>

ABSTRACT
The use of a solar cell in space requires the knowledge of its behaviour under high-energy partial
radiation.This radiation in space produces defects in semiconductor that cause a reduction in
solar cell power output. In this paper we present the method for predicting the behaviour of a
solar cell for satellite applications. Modeling has been performed for several types of GaAs and
GaInP single cells and results are compared with experimental data obtained for electron and
proton irradiations.

                    <text>The Influence of Word Etymology Knowledge on Learning of Borrowings
Amra Hodzic Jejna
International University of Novi Pazar / Novi Pazar, Serbia
Key words: etymology, vocabulary, learning, borrowings, students
ABSTRACT
Nowadays English is the first language of more than 350 million people all around the world. The immense diversity
of English speakers is connected with the great diversity of English words. When we talk about origins of English
words, even about the most frequent ones, we see that English vocabulary is a mixture of many different languages.
English is a language of borrowings so in most cases that cause many difficulties for EFL learners. Therefore, the
history and roots of English language are very important parts of English language learning. Some etymologies are
totally unexpected and therefore much more complicated for memorizing. Of course not only borrowing is a process
of introducing the new words into English language. When learning new vocabulary, EFL students have many
obstacles and are always in a process of searching for the new techniques and methods of memorizing and usage of
newly introduced words. This work is about how much word etymology knowledge can help EFL students to
memorize and use borrowings. Research is conducted at the Department of Philology, International University of
Novi Pazar.

Abstract: Informality or informal economy and development is a clue problem that is broadly
discussed as it is caused by various factors such as: rapid economical and political changes,
inadequate planning and housing policy, out-of date legislation and public structures, etc.
This situation has created important challenges in many cities, especially post-communist
ones in Sothern and Eastern Europe. The comparison of Western Countries and economies
with the Third World or developing ones has always brought interesting and paradoxical
situations. They have the house but not the title of it, De Soto explains.
This study presents a typology of informal settlements, reviews the traditional policies and
presents the emerging trends in legislations and regulations in Albania. The three most
discussed approaches to informal economy are briefly analyzed in this study. Based on the
theory of developing countries as Albania is, the methodology of the study is based on
analytical approach together with the official data of Albania gathered from official sites for
statistics as INSTAT and ALUIZNI of Albania. Furthermore, it provides an in-depth
economical analysis on the challenges associated with this phenomenon, demonstrating the
complexity of the situation and the need for a sensitive solution. The costs of the approaches,
as well as the advantages or disadvantages of them, areidentifiedbased on the Albanian
situation.
The conclusion of this study leads to the third most important approach, which is legalization,
being as the most efficient for the Albanian informality situation and the continuing of the
country development. Therefore most of the developingcountries are working on the same
approach by developing the legislation and practicing it.
Keywords: Informality, Legislation, Albania.

                <text>Informality or informal economy and development is a clue problem that is broadly discussed as it is caused by various factors such as: rapid economical and political changes, inadequate planning and housing policy, out-of date legislation and public structures, etc. This situation has created important challenges in many cities, especially post-communist ones in Sothern and Eastern Europe. The comparison of Western Countries and economies with the Third World or developing ones has always brought interesting and paradoxical situations. They have the house but not the title of it, De Soto explains.   This study presents a typology of informal settlements, reviews the traditional policies and presents the emerging trends in legislations and regulations in Albania. The three most discussed approaches to informal economy are briefly analyzed in this study. Based on the theory of developing countries as Albania is, the methodology of the study is based on analytical approach together with the official data of Albania gathered from official sites for statistics as INSTAT and ALUIZNI of Albania. Furthermore, it provides an in-depth economical analysis on the challenges associated with this phenomenon, demonstrating the complexity of the situation and the need for a sensitive solution. The costs of the approaches, as well as the advantages or disadvantages of them, areidentifiedbased on the Albanian situation.   The conclusion of this study leads to the third most important approach, which is legalization, being as the most efficient for the Albanian informality situation and the continuing of the country development. Therefore most of the developingcountries are working on the same approach by developing the legislation and practicing it.   Keywords: Informality, Legislation, Albania.</text>

Abstract
In the process of teaching language the most important task is to know the
peculiarities of interconnection of words. And one of the effective factors of learning
and teaching Uzbek as a second language is to conduct specific research on
interconnection and interrelation features of words and to compose special
dictionaries of the Uzbek language for Russian-speaking students. Meanwhile, the
issue of interconnection and interrelation peculiarities of words has been investigated
not only by many linguists but by some psychologists as well.One of those prominent
psychological scientists is N.I.Jinkinn. According to him, the integration of speech
units is divided into two phases. He also relates “the grammar field” with the second
phase of speech-unitintegration. Furthermore, he points out that in the first phase of
this process, words and word forms are spread out in the “speech field”. In the
second phase a speaker selects the necessary words for the primary explanation of
the idea,which is followed by the correct grammar form, and then collocates with a
suitable word [1,45]. For instance, according to N.I.Jinkinn,a noun, an adjective and
an adverb do not usually collocate with other words. They are called as lexics, which
are spread in the “vocabulary field” but divided into characteristic groups.

Introduction
It is necessary to know the interconnection of a particular word with other words.
The acquisition of the speaking process in a second language develops in uneasy way
comparing to the oral process in target language, because the students are not
familiar with the word-association systems of a foreign language. Moreover, critical
27

thinking should be developed about the words in context. For instance, in the Uzbek
language conjunctions, auxiliaries and word-forming affixes are mainly used to link
words. However, these grammatical means are not enough to identify the features of
interconnection of words. So, it’s proved that in addition to word-forming affixes,
conjunctions and auxiliaries, there are other grammatical means that serve to connect
two words. Thus, this kind of phenomenon should be taken into consideration while
learning and teaching the language and developing the process of speech [2,53-55].
It is also important to explain the connection of a noun and a verb as key words and
identify their correct and incorrect interrelation meanings. It should be noted that
many handbooks by A.Pulatov, I.Muminova, I.Pulatov[4] and “Modern Uzbek
language,” and especially the research on enriching the speech of studentsby verbal
phrases in non-philological faculties by M.Karakhujaeva[3,23],are very useful. Yet
this represents a drop in the ocean, and classifying Uzbek words into key words,
dividing them according to interconnection features and several other issues have to
be resolved in the future.
G.Ahmedovahas done research on integrating and developing Russian-speaking
students’practice and experience. Her study shows that achieving effective results in
improving Russian speaking students’ skills concerning formed words depends on
successful consolidation of word-forming affixes and lexico-semantic relation
systems. The research also clarifies that one of the unresolved problems in
composing dictionaries is that each meaning of a word is taught individually. Here,
several meanings of words are not combined around one concept. As a result, they
are only learned and even soon forgotten by students [5,79].
In recent years our Uzbek linguists have done some studies on the systems and
interconnection of words. While M.Korakhujaeva is doing her research on linguistic
principles of economic terms, she informs about the interrelation systems in Uzbek
linguistics is studied as a language units and how to use the character of the language
units basing them on system characteristics. She also introduces the extent to which
lexemeshelp improve learners’ speech fluency. The study also declares that it
impossible to improve speaking skills without learning the ways of logical and
semantical interrelation. M.Korakhujaeva’s study deals with word interconnections,
their logical relations, the relation of economic terms with verbs and their
relationship within semantic-syntactic models [6,33].
However, it is investigated that the words different characteristics and features in a
speaking process is a whole dynamic process, while as the usage of oral lexics
features are seen in process. Thus, concrete language events are analyzed, connecting
them to the ways of communicative situations. This analysis is useful in learning
28

Uzbek as a second language. Russian language-methodology and foreign-language
scientists link semantic principles with lexics and grammar forms in texts. For
example, T.P.Skorikova exemplifies A.A.Leontev’s ideas and agrees with him: “To
share two facts methodically in functional-semantic theory: it is focused on locating
one semantic language form and analyzing oral speech psycholinguistically” [7,8687].
One of the main functions of a good teacher is to pay attention to lexic forms’
relations with semantics, logical interconnection and differentiation features in a
foreign-language context. For instance,the phrase секингапирмоқ (to speak slowly)
in the Uzbek language has many meanings in context. 1) to whisper; 2) to speak at a
low speed. In order to differentiate this situation, one should pay attention to the low
pronunciation features of the word “секин”, when it is spoken about the word in the
meaning of “speed” in the word “секин”, it is pronounced [i:].When it is talked about
in the meaning of low voice the word “секин”is pronounced [i]. Such cases of
homophony can cause a number of difficulties in the process of language learning. In
the language spoken in Bosnia and Herzegovina, homographs are numerous.
Bosnian, a language stemming from the Slavic family, bearing close ties to the
neighboring Croatian and Serbian languages, has a notoriously difficult system of
homographic, but not homophonic, words. Thus, words such as pas (belt) and pas
(dog) are differentiated via the length of the central vowel, [a:] and [ʌ] respectively.
Similarly, the vowel length determines the meaning in duga /du:gʌ/ (rainbow) and
duga /dugʌ/ (long), luk /luk/ (onion) and luk /lu:k/ (bow), kupiti /ku:piti/ (buy) and
kupiti /kupɪti/(pick up, collect). Additionally, functional lexemes such as the
auxiliary form of to be in Bosnian is a homograph with the word for solitude; thus
sam /sʌm/ (to be, present tense, nom.) and sam /sa:m/ (alone) can be differentiated
only through the slight tonal change. Finally, the numerous cases remnant in Bosnian
create homographs through case change. For example, the word unuka
/unʊkʌ/(granddaughter) is in the nominative case. The word unuka /unuka:/ is the
plural genitive form of the word grandchildren[12]. These kinds of differences of
oral forms are seen in use context.It is very important to differentiate functionalsemantic, phonetic, lexical, morphological and syntactic features in teaching oral
speech.
From this point of view, it is one of the problems at the center of attention of
lexicographers in the relation of systematic words.
The linguist L.M. Plehanova emphasizes that when composing dictionaries we have
to pay attention to the lexical feature of an idea. From this point of view, integration
lexicography dictionaries should be compiled as follows:1. An explanation of
words.2. The usage of words. 3. The origin of words. 4. Synonyms. 5. Antonyms. 6.
29

�The Interconnection and Interrelation Features of Words and Their Importance in Compiling Second
Language Dictionaries

Homonyms. 7. Association. 8. Lexical-syntactic connections (with nouns, adjectives,
verbs). 9. Predicative centers. 10. Phrases. 11. Illustrations [8,11-12]
These kinds of dictionaries havea great practical importance. In the future, serious
attention should be given to compiling Uzbek dictionaries and to make special
studies on teaching words and their interrelation, one stem words and how to show
their connection, their images in a mother tongue, their all parts and associations and
their active lexics help to activate passive words.
As a first experiment it was used for beginner classes as Uzbek-Russian picture
dictionary [9]. In the dictionary, some words are given as descriptive expressions, as
themes, and sometimes they are placed next to the dictionary articles. For example,
the word ўсимликлар, a big group name, was sub-grouped into by дарахтлар,
майсалар, гуллар, полиз экинлари. Dividing to the groups of thing-object nouns,
from general to specific helps students to learn the words better and use them their
ownways.
In some pictures it was associated to show all parts of a thing-object. For instance,
while giving the word дарахт (tree) it’s necessary to present the other tree parts as:
илдизи, танаси, пўсти, шох, барг, гул, новда, мева, because pupils imagine the
tree with all its parts and know how to name each part of a tree in their mother
tongue.
In that position, we should say that naming component parts and logical-semantic
relationship of a thing-objectnoun in mother tongue and learning language should be
differentiated. We can see this in examples from the Uzbek and Russian languages.
For instance, in Uzbek, the tree’s upper part is called пўстлоқ (bark) but a melon’s
and watermelon’s upper part called пўчоқ (peeling). In the Russian language it is
called корочка.
The inner seeds of melons are called as қовуннинг уруғи, while in a watermelon they
are called тарвузнинг дони. In other words, the words can differ from the semantic
relationship and interconnection. In the Russian language, both of them are translated
as косточка. So, the name of thing-object picture it’s good idea to give them as
dividing into component parts and show all their names separately.
Moreover, different exercises focused on synonym and homonym formations and
antonym-formed wordscan help learners to differentiate words and grammatical
ways of meanings. These types of exercises, according to linguist M.A.Jurabayeva,
should be accepted in addressing the following issues:
- the special difficulties of word forming;

from the simple to complex didactic principles;
written and oral exercises that serve for constructive structure;
learning process and self-study of students [10,13].

Certainly, in learning a language, one should be aware of the word-formation
possibilities. Learning and teaching the possibilities of word formation suffixes place
a great practical role for enhancing vocabulary and developing exercises. Nowadays,
this is the most important issue for compiling successful and useful Uzbek
dictionaries for use in mastering a second language. Moreover, it’s pleasant to know
that the Uzbek language is not only becoming known and taught in Uzbekistan, but
all over the world.

Furthermore, he points out that in the first phase of this process, words and word forms are spread out in the “speech field”. In the second phase a speaker selects the necessary words for the primary explanation of the idea,which is followed by the correct grammar form, and then collocates with a suitable word [1,45]. For instance, according to N.I.Jinkinn,a noun, an adjective and an adverb do not usually collocate with other words. They are called as lexics, which are spread in the “vocabulary field” but divided into characteristic groups.

The Intercultural Education And The New Social Reality
Of The Value Dimension
EĢi Marius-Costel

Abstract: The intercultural education emphasizes a social reality within which a
paradigm is assumed by a certain community. In this way, the social responsibilities
relate to a strategic pragmatism of an educational nature. Moreover, the architectonics
of the epistemology of the intercultural education legitimizes the existence of
axiological structures found within the social policies. There are significant from this
point of view the different intercultural modalities "responsible" for the concretization
of a value hierarchy in a social system. Therefore, the comprehension of an
intercultural dimension of the social reality reminds of a rational substantiation of the
axiological structures through which the epistemological connections acquire meaning
and significance.

Keywords: intercultural education, social responsibility, axiological structures, value
hierarchy, epistemology of the cultural education

1.1. Introduction
The activities which take place within a social system aim at a series of peculiarities meant to justify the
existence of an intercultural "logic". In other words, the applicative-theoretical connections express within the
educational reality situations corresponding to a social methodology. Moreover the intercultural contextual
situations constitute a pragmatic operationalization of some approaches initiated at the level of the reality. Thus,
the intercultural dimension projected at the level of the operationalization of the human competences illustrates
the fact that the educational process in general represents a true potential of knowledge. Therefore a
methodological restructuring of the social strategies which apply to the intercultural dimension generates a
special form of communication through which there are emphasized the professional responsibilities.

1.2. The socio-educational phenomenon and its intercultural dimension
The social flexibility validates the conceptual-theoretical structures within the educational reality. It has
to do with an approach of the intercultural phenomenon from the perspective of a social epistemology. In these
conditions, the scientific analysis made on the new paradigms concentrates specific modalities of approach
through which the socio-educational activity becomes concrete. In fact the organization of some competences
from a socio-professional standpoint can explain the methodology specific to the intercultural activities carried
out in a given contextual situation. Moreover, the following of some socio-cultural criteria supposes some
thorough understanding of the value principles from the perspective of an epistemological model. Therefore, the
relationship competence-autonomy transposes the form of scientific reasoning in a system of the social praxis.
The scientific dimension of the intercultural phenomenon reflects the idea of a social psychology through which
the explanations are related to optimum forms of understanding. One can assert that at the level of a socioeducational system, a methodological strategy is necessary exactly in order to emphasize the normative nature
and value of the process of understanding of the intercultural phenomenon related to different cultural spaces
(Ghosh; Tarrow: 1993, 81-92).
Also, one has in mind the innovative character of the social strategies applied and assumed in a
contextual situation. From this point of view one has to mention the fact that the educational value of the
intercultural dimension supposes the taking into consideration of some pedagogical approaches through which
there are emphasized social mentalities. This situation expresses the idea that an analysis of education
corroborated with an analysis of the social fact remind of various meanings of interpretation regarding the
intercultural dimension of the society in general.
That is why the motivation within the instructive process represents a psychological support in the
process of assuming some socio-intercultural strategies where an important role is played by the style itself. In
fact, the cultural style perceived as a determined and stable modality of life and human creation (Boboc: 2001,
20), reminds of a professional reorganization and moral regeneration. From this point of view we have in mind

446

�1st International Conference on Foreign Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics
May 5-7 2011 Sarajevo
the fact that the organization of the professional competences within a social system plays an important role in
understanding the intercultural phenomenon.
Approaching such a perspective supposes a specific mechanism of individualizing the assumed
strategies. First and foremost, one must take into consideration the means by which the context of
communication is created and secondly the language used at the level of the relation. In this mode, the evaluation
of the cultural phenomenon aims at the important role that the social methodology of a new paradigm plays
which the actors assume in a certain period of time. In other words an optimum evaluation of the socioeducational activities can do nothing but express the idea of an authority that should coordinate the strategies of
an intercultural policy.
The axiological and pragmatic valences specific to the intercultural dimension do nothing but support
the idea that the justifying reasonings of an intercultural psychology contain different degrees of complexity
understood as basic conditions in promoting and assuming some logic of the social.
From this point of
view we consider that the dynamics of the intercultural phenomenon emphasizes to a great extent the social
reality. Moreover within this reality one can find a series of criteria of eligibility which represent a value impact
zone regarding both the application of the socio-educational policy strategies and the concretization of the
intercultural competences which are not born with (Bennett: 1993). Therefore we consider that such an image
legitimizes the idea of a value-educational support in promoting the intercultural phenomenon.
The value universe of a cultural society supposes some special hermeneutics of the social reality. Thus
the specific and significant phenomena of the intercultural education reflect a process of understanding the social
reality which cannot be separated from the educational act itself. In other words, different mentalities transpose
in this way at an organizational level a series of normative models which generate a panoramic view on the idea
of intercultural education understood as a dimension of the professional training. (Cîrligeanu: 2010,122). In
addition, in the picture of individualization of a specific form of education, the educational process and
implicitly the one of culturalization is considered to be included in the dimension of the motivational behaviour.
Therefore, the evaluation of the intercultural dimension depends at the level of the social organization on the
way in which the value principles are promoted.
Beyond the conceptual-theoretical approaches we also have in mind the pragmatic aspect resulted from
such an approach. On the one hand there are obvious a series of methodological correspondences through which
the representation of the intercultural reality is nothing but an image of what is perceived at a rational-affective
level. On the other hand, the general characteristics which can be found at the level of the social dimension
reflects in the context of the new cultural paradigms elements of a cognitive nature through which the strategies
assumed within the intercultural education rather illustrate aspects meant to support the idea of professional
(self)training.
From this point of view, the substantiation of a special form of education emphasizes a reality where
one can validate the quality of an instructive-educative approach. We have in mind the role that a conventional
education can have in a concordance rapport with the intercultural education. Also, in this context we underline
the role that the criteria of eligibility have regarding the existence of a dynamics of the axiological structures. In
fact, the axiological problem brought into discussion reflects at the level of a social system the necessity of an
intercultural education through which the subjective experience accumulated is transposed in a reevaluated
system of values. Therefore, an axiological hermeneutics on the intercultural dimension of a social system can be
validated completely as long as the goal of the instructive activities relates to a social-pragmatic structure.
The possibilities of representing the interpersonal relations illustrate exactly the features characteristic
to the pragmatic dimensions resulted from an operationalization of the competences specific to the actors
involved in this approach. The existent methodology emphasizes individual structures which have a special
impact on the social strategies. Also, we stress out the fact that a pertinent understanding of the intercultural
phenomenon supposes a special way of thinking one that concentrates on taking into consideration the value
principles.
The mechanism of such a phenomenon reflects the social actors' valuable behaviour. The reevaluation
of the social responsibilities implies in this way a professional training of the people who take part in
concretizing the intercultural process. Particularly, the problem brought into discussion expresses at the level of a
scientific approach an axiological model through which the valuable behaviours acquire meaning. The
description of this reality emphasizes the assumption of some social strategies through which the actors involved
in the intercultural phenomenon must take into account their own criteria of professional training.
The analysis of such an approach resides in the fact that the assumed strategies relate to a special form
of managerial activity which can be validated at the level of social-educational policy. Consequently the reality
of a social system illustrates value principles in accordance with which the human behaviours express
axiological valences specific to the intercultural dimension.
As a social phenomenon the intercultural education represents a specific form of communication which
must undergo a whole process of evolution. This aspect emphasizes the fact that the social organization

447

�1st International Conference on Foreign Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics
May 5-7 2011 Sarajevo
transcends the will of the subjectivities involved in the socialization process. Thus the independence of
consciousness towards the restrictions of the social expresses the idea of a cultural substantiation. In fact the
existence of a consistent liaison at an interpersonal level emphasizes an affective dimension of the human
consciousness. Therefore, the understanding of such a reality stresses the cognitive assumptions which have a
methodological character.
This situation emphasizes an image reality where the possibilities of manifestation of the intercultural
act acquire axiological significance. In this context, we support the necessity of a social model where the idea of
interculturality can be described in accordance with the establishment of some value and deeply value reference
points. Also, the substantiation of such an intercultural model supposes the making of some socialmethodological correspondences. Moreover, the form of manifestation of the intercultural dimension legitimizes
at a social level the existence of some operationalization degrees of an axiological nature.
From this point of view we have in mind the dynamics existent between the social-axiological
hermeneutics and the social-cognoscible one through which any form of education is emphasized. The problem
brought under discussion emphasizes at the level of the creation act a social reality within which the fundamental
activities remind of methodological responsibilities. The conclusions of such an approach also underline at a
social level the necessity itself of an intercultural education.

1.3. The social-axiological hermeneutics versus the social-cognoscible hermeneutics
The activities initiated at the level of the intercultural education must have in mind a social-affective
correspondence. In these conditions such an assumption legitimizes a capacity of interpreting the social reality.
The assumed context depends on the values which relate to the new cultural paradigms. Moreover we consider
that the informational substantiation must be based at the level of the human consciousness on axiological
structures specific to the social fact. Thus, the general characteristics at a contextual level generate intercultural
models through which the process of (self) training reintegrates in a perspective complementary to the one
recently assumed by the social actors.
The acquisitions of the human experience can be found at the level of the intercultural education as long
as they generate specific forms of symbolical behaviour. This image resides in the manifestation form itself of
the intercultural education. In this way the experience accumulated in time emphasizes the foundation of an
educational model. In fact, the methodological problem brought into discussion reminds of emphasizing the idea
of individualizing the intercultural education. Therefore, an epistemological foundation of the social-educational
principles supposes a reintegration of the intercultural approach at a pragmatic level
It is considered that such an assumption depends exactly on the existence of degrees of
operationalization through which in its quality of component of the educational activity the intellectual paradigm
promotes social attitudes. The cultural reality by relating to an axiological meaning puts emphasis on the
theoretical importance of the social structures at the level of the educational policies. From this point of view the
methodological openings towards new educational paradigms (Honor: 1996, 53) reflect different modalities of
approaching the social reality. Thus, it is obvious the presence of a methodological substantialism regarding the
competitive education.
An efficient intercultural model emphasizes a process of communication which supports an educational
policy promoted on the basis of performance criteria. From this point of view one has to mention the specific
methods of research which have at their basis the taking into consideration of some different levels of reality.
Consequently the transmission and the reception of some social-educational typologies represent a pragmatic
operationalization of some approaches initiated at the level of the specific cultural realities.
The existence of some significant phenomena which should emphasize this reality imposes that at the
level of the interpersonal relations there should be promoted a series of strategies which should become concrete
in the name of a value principle. In other words, the organization of some competences in the socio-professional
plan can explain the fact that the efficiency and the professionalism relate both to a methodological logic and an
epistemology of the cultural education. From this point of view we can assert that at the level of a socioeducational system a methodological strategy is necessary in order to focus on the instrumental value of the
intercultural process.
An epistemological substantiation of the intercultural education supposes a reinterpretation of the
cultural dimension in the context of the social aspect. Thereby, the nature of human subjectivity marks the
beginning of a specific form of education, through which respecting some performance criteria depends on the
idea of responsibility. Therefore, the objective valences of the intercultural dimension emphasize a
methodological problem through which one can ensure an optimum functioning of the assumed approaches.
Thus, a very good understanding of the behavioral relations illustrates an explanatory perspective on the cultural
and professional identity (Bagnard: 2009, 55).
In this mode the evaluation of an intercultural dimension supposes the acceptance of an educational
culture which pinpoints the existence of some significant phenomena of a social nature. The organization of

448

�1st International Conference on Foreign Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics
May 5-7 2011 Sarajevo
some competences on a socio-professional plan generates on the basis of some performance criteria a
substantiation of the intercultural norms. In fact the strategic role that the used social methodologies have
validates the epistemic capacities of understanding the intercultural approach.
However this assumption transposes on a comprehensive plan a form of scientific reasoning in a system
of the social praxis. Also, we consider that the educational process must be in a tight relationship with a
scientific dimension of the intercultural education, becoming concrete through the methods and means which
highlight collaboration, co-working, solidarity, justice and equality. (Colibaba; Cocari: 2009, 12). Moreover
this complementarity relationship underlines the autonomy of the socio-educational actors in accordance with
which there is a certain social standard. Thus we admit that at the level of a socio-educational system a
methodological strategy is necessary exactly in order to emphasize the instrumental value of the intercultural
dimension.
The perspective of an intercultural dimension at the level of the society illustrates on an axiological plan
approaches and explanations which are based on human possibilities of knowing and interpreting the laws of a
certain social system. From this perspective the social actors must have among the assumed objectives the
assuming and promoting in a conscious way of those pragmatic aspects through which the intercultural
dimension acquires meaning and value. Therefore the quality of a social system implies a thorough
systematization of the strategies of educational and (inter)cultural policy.
An interesting problem referring to the social-methodological actions is that through which a wellfounded educational model can support a social system which wants to be pragmatic. In these conditions the
organization of the social-educational competences is directed towards different levels of communication.
Moreover a well-founded scientific theory can offer a unitary perspective on the conceptual frame characteristic
to the process of interpersonal communication. The relational dimension of communication illustrates
explanatory dimensions of the discursive understanding.
We can admit thus at the level of a cultural script the existence of a social responsibility through which
the professionalism of the social actors is transposed in a specific educational environment. The idea that we
have in mind in this context is that the cognitive experience acquired in time supposes a process of
reconsideration and reevaluation of the system of values. Of course from a methodological point of view one
needs a pertinent understanding of the strategies assumed at a social level. Also, the methodological truth put in
correlation with the consensual-scientific dimension illustrates the "wild" nature of the intercultural education. In
this case we have in mind the limits, the flaws which stem from the assuming of such an approach: the loss of
originality, traditions, cultural spirit.
The substantiation of the interculturalism by reevaluating the social system represents a benefit meaning
that the normative-methodological reality is open towards the new cognoscible paradigms. Such an image
emphasizes exactly the methodological functionality of the learning process. In other words, the analysis of the
social system generates a certain pedagogical coherence where a certain methodological consistence is obvious.
The methodological approach existent at the level of intercultural dimension reflects on the axiological
plan a problem specific to the education where the understanding is related to the informational content. In other
terms the efficiency of such an approach depends on the quality of an activity meant to stimulate the intercultural
education. The social condition represents a determining factor in the process of manifestation of consciousness
within which a pertinent evaluation of the intercultural act reminds of the idea of social functionality of a
pragmatic nature. Therefore the influence of the models of social development is relevant as long as at an
intercultural level there are visible representative functional features of the educational actors.
The cultural ambiance supposes the following of a cognoscible structure through which any activity
becomes efficient. This image rather has to do with the formative orientation of the training activities but also
with the modality in which one accesses to an intercultural education. In fact by relating to the specific of such
an approach, a perspective of this type proves its efficiency due to its axiological criteria promoted and
supported by the social actors. These approaches do nothing but legitimize the experience of a new society of
knowledge.
The peculiarities of such understanding generate a reasoning effect of the assumed approach. It is
obvious that at the level of the social reality the transmission and the assimilation of information suppose a
whole process of legitimizing the knowledge. From this point of view the scientific perspective illustrates the
fact that the evaluation of the intercultural act represents specific forms of socialization. Therefore, a
methodological foundation of the cultural dimension fully finds its justifications as long as the argumentative
performances are corroborated with the strategies of social-educational policy.

1.4 Conclusions
The acceptance of an intercultural dimension reminds thus of a judicious understanding of the
socialization phenomenon. In other words, the social performance criteria can be explained through the fact that
the educational environment must relate to the social interactions between the actors involved in the activities
characteristic to the intercultural dimension. Also, the social actors involved in this approach subordinate to a
competitive education meant to validate exactly the methodological consistence of the
socialization/culturalization process. From this point of view the pragmatism of the intercultural education
results from the capacity itself of integrating and facing the challenges of the new social reality. Therefore, the
scientific explanations meant to legitimate somehow the suppositions that have to do with a philosophy of
interculturalization illustrate the possibilities of (self) organizing the society.
The importance given to the value dimensions becomes exemplary as long as the educational reality
reflects an efficient social model. In this mode, the benefit of such a perspective reflects a methodological
functional process through which there are accepted at the level of the social reality conceptual-methodological
connections. Moreover, the practice of the instructive activity generates a social architectonics where the
interculturality expresses a starting point in the value approach. Also, we consider that one must take into
consideration the behaviour of the community in accordance with which one can establish intercultural
correspondences between different levels of organization of the social reality. Consequently the range of
conceptual application subordinates to some different axiological criteria in accordance with the knowledge
horizon which expanded can offer alternatives to the problems characteristic to the intercultural environment
where the strategies of social policy concentrate.

                <text>The intercultural education emphasizes a social reality within which a  paradigm is assumed by a certain community. In this way, the social responsibilities  relate to a strategic pragmatism of an educational nature. Moreover, the architectonics  of the epistemology of the intercultural education legitimizes the existence of  axiological structures found within the social policies. There are significant from this  point of view the different intercultural modalities "responsible" for the concretization  of a value hierarchy in a social system. Therefore, the comprehension of an  intercultural dimension of the social reality reminds of a rational substantiation of the  axiological structures through which the epistemological connections acquire meaning  and significance.</text>

                    <text>The Intercultural Sensitivity and Social Self-esteem of High School Students
Minela Kerla &amp; Selman Repišti
University of Sarajevo/ Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Key words: social self-esteem, intercultural sensitivity, intercultural competence
ABSTRACT
The Subject of this study is to examine the intercultural sensitivity and social self-esteem in a sample of adolescent,
third and fourth grade students of the International School of Sarajevo. The Instruments will consist of The Social
Self-Esteem Inventory (Lawson et al., 1979) and The Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (Chen i Starosta, 2000). The
results have shown a positive correlation between these two variables, and statistically significant correlation
between social self-esteem with all facets of intercultural sensitivity. The female students reported higher scores in
social self-esteem and are greater in intercultural sensitivity than male students. There were no statistically
significant differences in these variables between the students of the third and the fourth grade, furthermore the
effect of gender or class was not determined. The female students have higher scores in performance on all five
aspects of intercultural sensitivity, also third grade students have higher average scores than those from the fourth
grade on three facets of this variable (the other two are equal). Pedagogical implications of intercultural
communication training and increasing social self-esteem have also been discussed.

www.iisd.org website (International Institute for Sustainable Development) through specific
standard website specifications or checklists. Website was evaluated through eight different
sets of criteria. Website www.iisd.org is compared to standard criteria and results revealed
that website www.iisd.org have some weaknesses but also and strengths. Findings show that
website has good inflow of information but organization and positioning of data is very poor.

1. INTRODUCTION
The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) is a Canadian-based, public
policy research institute that has a long history of conducting cutting-edge research into
sustainable development. IISD promotes the transition toward a sustainable future; they seek
to demonstrate how human ingenuity can be applied to improve the well-being of the
environment, economy and society.45

�When you think of the world as a system over space, you grow to understand that air
pollution from North America affects air quality in Asia, and that pesticides sprayed in
Argentina could harm fish stocks off the coast of Australia.
And when you think of the world as a system over time, you start to realize that the decisions
our grandparents made about how to farm the land continue to affect agricultural practice
today; and the economic policies we endorse today will have an impact on urban poverty
when our children are adults.
We also understand that quality of life is a system, too. It's good to be physically healthy, but
what if you are poor and don't have access to education? It's good to have a secure income,
but what if the air in your part of the world is unclean? And it's good to have freedom of
religious expression, but what if you can't feed your family?
The concept of sustainable development is rooted in this sort of systems thinking. It helps us
understand ourselves and our world. The problems we face are complex and serious—and we
can't address them in the same way we created them. But we can address them.
It's that basic optimism that motivates IISD's staff, associates and board to innovate for a
healthy and
meaningful
future
for
this
planet
and
its
inhabitant.46

�In present time there are two main drivers that change global economy. First one is huge
development of technology (Internet) and all businesses are radically shifting toward the
sustainable development. These drivers can transform companies and markets.
The world is in the midst of multidimensional transformation: technological, economic, social,
cultural and political (Handzic et al. 2010). To be successful in nowadays needed is to improve
in technological direction especially information systems. Competition is very fierce so
organizations must have a website based system. Internet as a whole is a very dynamic and
powerful generator so website needs to be day to day updated and to follow some general rules
and criteria. These criteria (indicators) are a measure for a well prepared website and provide a
huge contribution to the quality of website.
Indicators don’t guarantee results. But results are impossible without proper indicators. And
proper indicators, in themselves, can produce results.47
3. Research Method
This study was examined through specific criteria for website. It examines website through
nine different sets of criteria:48
1) First impression - is very important. If the website is not functioning very well and if it is
not accurate than potential customers create a bad image about it and they may not return back.
2) Navigation - stands for being offered an easy way to find way around the website.
3) Content - stands for useful and valuable information’s and key to good content is that
it must be extensive and original.
4) Attractors - draw individuals and other organizations to the website.
5) Findability - stands for ease of finding website in the first place.
6) Making contact– many
interacting and negotiating.

In the first impression URL is short but not very intuitive. Size of the home page is not
exceeding normal 50kb which is a good point. Main disadvantage is that text is too much
cluttered on the website and another problem is there is a need for installation of java plug-in
which can make problems for beginners. Home page is needed to be scrolled down to read all
the text instead of being it centered on one place. Main advantage is when entering website
immediately objectives and usage of website are well known. Contact details are easy
accessible and there is no need for any registration.
Navigation system is pretty good developed. Site index and access from any links are
working. There is a search engine so all data can be looked up through search engine. When
entering into many internal links there is always an option to return to a home page with one
single click.
Content is mostly filled with great information which is needed for those groups of users.
There is a usage of audio and video on website and many links which will guide you to the
needed information but disadvantage is that text is very cluttered in many places so it is hard
readable. All information’s are always updated and content is available in different languages.
In attractors section main advantage is that there is no need for the registration on the website
so all users can easily reach all information without annoying memberships and every time
there are some breaking news which will give users reasons to come back. Everything is
provided with external links and main point is that website has its own newsletter for the ir
users.

�Findability section has many disadvantages such as online advertising and offline advertising.
Advertising is not so much developed but rather they focus more on the good keywords and
short URL.
Making contact gathered full points for it good and well organized contact section. Briefly
everything is explained. There are all needed e-mails, addresses and their location of
departments. On the website there is Contact Us section which provide needed information.
Browser Compatibility is doing just fine especially on Google Chrome but there may be some
small resolution problems on Internet Explorer. A resize ability problem occurs when resizing
the browser.
User satisfaction is a major part and all attention should be given to this part. Reliability of the
website is very good since website is stable and didn’t crash any time. Clicks to completion
are short so information are easy accessible.
On the website other useful information are also provided. Financial statements, Career
Opportunities, Board Members, Calendar of Events, FAQ, and Sustainability report.
Implications
During the research there were some implications like browser compatibility since it is hard to
evaluate browser compatibility when all computers had already installed java flash player or
other plug-ins so browser don’t recognize any problems when website is opened but having a
fresh installed copy of windows would show different. Another implication occurred when
evaluating the frames of the website, extensions.
Limitations and Future Research
There were several limitations due to the lack of professional stuff. For the better evaluation
of the website there is a need of professional computer engineers which will also evaluate the
website through the html codes. Computer engineers knows more about website extensions
and plug-ins so future research would be more focused on evaluating a website with harsh
criteria and evaluation of website through the survey of random chosen people which will
give their opinion of the website. There is a need for larger group of people which will divide
tasks and provide more data about every section. Survey will give additional information
where possible outcomes and results would change due to the positive or negative feedback of
the surveyed users.

�6. CONCLUSIONS
This study examined how the e-business system correlates and helps to deal with sustainable
development. In present times where scarce resources are lacking than need of retaining it is
important so awareness of sustainable factor through the website is much easier since it
affects larger groups of people. Now, everyone is trying to promote its business through the
internet. In order to gain competitive advantage on the internet there is a need for a good and
well developed website. To gain statuses of nearly perfect website there have to be some
criteria so the users can find and meet their requirements when searching online.
To gain competitive advantage usage of links, visual animations, updated news, customer

Abstract
In this study, different welding parameters are applied to two different steels with high alloys
and mechanical and metallographical investigations were performed. Thus, the optimum
welding parameters were investigated for these materials and working conditions. 12.30
diameter steel bars made up of 1.4871 (X53CrMnNiN219) &amp; 1.4718 (X45CrSi93) steel were
used as experimental material. The material loss increased with increase in friction and
rotating pressure. The highest hardness and fracture energy were obtained in B5 group.

1. INTRODUCTION
Joining has increasingly been used in the material technology because materials having
different mechanical properties need to be efficiently joined to increase material’s
performance. The most suitable method of joiningtwo different alloyed steel is welding(Anık,
1983). After welding process, the properties of welding zone naturally becomedifferent from
the properties of alloyed steels andthis difference maycause someproblems.The use melting
welding methods, among many kinds of welding methods, has also increased these
29

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

problems(Yılmaz, 1993). Phase diagrams and properties of joining materials are important
factors in determining welding properties (Bargel and Schulze, 1988). Some problems also
arise because the materials to be joined are different alloys and some additionalcomponents
are needed to effectively join them. Many different zonesappear in connecting zone
depending on composition and material properties (Yılmaz, 1993). Deposite remain of the
melting welding methods,welding faults of porosity and inside tightens of cooling are the
important disadvantages of these methods and they reduce the strength of welding.
Therefore,solid statewelding methods are more suitable sincemelting welding faults do not
significantly occur there(Tülbentçi and Yılmaz, 1989).
Vill(1962) has conducteda study to determine optimum conditions of friction welding
parameters. He has determined that friction pressure coming from welding parameters are of
great importance,the cycling number of turning component’s sensitivity is the least
paramaterand it can be fixed in a wide space depending on the materials used.
Moreover,Tyleotehas determined that friction pressure affects the heat of space surface and
supplies the required moment.He has also determined that forging pressure and cycling
number are the most important parameters (Tylecote, 1968). It can be said that low welding
periods have supplied the best welding zone in low carbon steels,which requires applying
forging pressure of one second as well as applying high forging pressure (Lucas, 1971). Low
welding periods andhigh forging pressure values forma thinner grainular structure for low
carbon steels (Duffin and Crossland, 1971).In notch impact test results, better mechanical
propertieshave been obtained onhigh cycling numbers between 1200 and 4200 rpm according
to other constant parameters (Voinov, 1972). A friction pressure of 30-65 MPa, and a
forgingpressure of 75-140 MPamust be applied for low carbon steels and a friction pressure
of 70-210 MPaand a forging pressure of 100-420 MPa for medium carbon steels (Welding
Handbook, 1980).
In another study, Ishibashi et al. (1993) determined that forging pressure value must be
appliedtwice as much as that of friction pressure for stainless steels.Ina study on tool steels, it
has been advised that the welding temperature and in turn friction pressure should be high
enough so that no faults on welding zones will occur(Tanicheva, et al., 1989). Initally,
conventional arc welding and then solid state joining methods were applied on welding
processes of stainless steels (Gooch et al., 1996). Today, friction welding is one of the solid
state joining techniques used widely for stainless steels. Bol’shokov et al.(1972) reported that
friction welding on vacuum condition improved mechanical properties of joined materials.
With the technological development in the valve manufacturing industry, the exhaust valves
of normal and diesel engines are manufactured from two different types of steels. The
“handling” parts of exhaust valves are manufactured from 1.4718 (X45CrSi93) steel which is
tough, ductile and resistant against wearing due to friction while the “head “parts are
manufactured from 1.4871 (X53CrMnNiN219) steel which shows a very good resistance
against oxidation, and hot corrosion caused by lead oxide and other burning products. Today,
this steel couple is joined by friction welding(Uzkut, 1999). Friction welding is one of the
methods which have some considerable share among the other conventional welding
methods. The most important parameters in friction welding are friction time, friction
pressure, forging time, forging pressure and rotational speed (Uzkut, 1999; Şahin and Akata,
2003).
Welding faults in the valve manufacturingmay occur due to thermal and mechanical stresses.
Therefore, optimizing welding parameters are essential. The determination of optimum
welding parameters and joining zones will minimize these faults on welded parts (Uzkut,
30

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

1999). In this study, optimum welding parameters of high alloyed X53CrMnNiN219 and
X45CrSi93 steels used in automotive industry were determined by joining friction welding
and by doing tensile, notch impact, metallography and microhardness tests.
2. EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES
X53CrMnNiN219 (1.4871) and X45CrSi93 (1.4718) high alloyed steels were used in the
experiments. Standards of materials are shown in Table 1,chemical composition of materials
in Table 2-3,standard measurements of welded tensile samples in Table 4, mechanical
properties of materials in Table 5.Rotation number (n) and forging time (t2) werekept
constant and friction time (t1), friction pressure (P1), and forging pressure (P2) had different
levels. Constant parameters and values for 12.3 mm diameter were determined as follows:
Constant parameters and values are as follows: experimental bar diameter is12.3 mm (H9),
during welding process,rotation number of spining parts is 3000 rpm, during machining
process,rotation number of spining parts is 1500 rpm, friction contact time is 0.4 s, brake
delaying time is 0.1 s, forging delaying time is 0.8 s, forging time is 2 s, friction pressure
rising time is 1 s, forging pressure rising timeis 1 s, and waiting time at the end of forging
time is 1 s. The levels of studied parameters were as follows: friction time (2.70, 3.70, or 4.70
s), friction pressure (138, 207, or 276), and forging pressure (345, 414, or 480 MPa).The
specimens subjected to friction pressureof 138 MPa is called group A, and friction pressure
of 207 MPa group B, and friction pressure of 276 MPa group C.
Tensile test, one of mechanical tests, was carried on by 5 tone capacity universal 1114 model,
INSTRON type depending on TS-138 (Turkish Standard). Tensile velocity was taken as 1
mm/min at tensile test. Notch impact test was carried on at 25 0C depending on TS-269.
Notch was opened on welding line as standart. Some suitable standart measurements were
applied on specimen.
1.4871 materials were etched for 10 s and 1.4718 materials at 3 s by 5 % nital on optical tests.
These tests were carried on in CARL ZEISS JENA type optical microscope atDokuzEylül
University laboratories (Izmir, Turkey). A 1360 pyramide point Vickers type was used for
microhardness tests. Microhardness tests were carriedout at distance of 10 µm to welding and
parallel to welding cross-section on this study 80 g load was used for these tests; however, a
load from 25 g to 100 gcould be applied on microhardness tester. Microhardness tests were
carried out in CARL ZEISS JENA type microhardness tester at DokuzEylül University
labaratories. SEM tests were carried out on by using JEOL JXA-733 type at DokuzEylül
University laboratories (Izmir, Turkey).

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3. 1. Mechanical Properties
When tensile tests results were examined, mechanical properties of group B were betterthan
those of group A or C. The basicrepresentative property of groupB is that friction pressure is
207 MPa. Break out did not occurin welding zone on B4, B5, and B6. Common determining
characteristic of this group is that friction pressure (P1) and forging pressure (P2)values were
takenconstant whereas friction time is variable on these groups. Yield and tensile strength
were similar. As a result, it can be seen that friction time is a determining parameter among
these three groups. In determining optimum welding parameters,breaking point in tensile bar,
the suitability of post-tensioning yield and tensile strength values for acceptable values of
materials and percentage of extent quantity havesignificance.Fractures in 1.4871
materialoccurred out of welding zone in group B5. Yield strength was 854 MPa, tensile
strength value was1081 MPa.
When notch impact tests results are examined,it has been determined the energy quantities
spent to break the samples of group B are more than those of the other two groups and the
samples of B5 in group B spent the highest energy quantity.
Based on microhardnessresuts,microhardness values did not increase ingroup B5 samples, but
microhardness valuessignificantly increased 4 mmaway from centre. The microhardness
value was 400 HV in outer cross section for 1.4871 materials,while it was 439 HV in centre.
Microhardnesswas 483 HV in the centrewhile it was 439 HV in outer cross section for 1.4718
materials. The cooling was the slowestin the centre of materials. Consequently, element
diffusion in materials centretakes much longer time. In addition, movement and mechanical
orientationwere alsominimalin the center due to material deformation. Therefore, it is
determined that the highest microhardness value is in the center of materials.The variations of
microhardness values depending on distant are shown in Fig. 1.The hardnessdistributions
were determined by using optical and scanning electron microscope.

Total length shortening quantity (mm)

Length shortening quantities on post welding and effects of parameters on length shortening
are explained by graphics depending on parameter groups in Fig. 2. As seen in figures,
variation on length shortenings depending on welding parameters is linear. A significant
material loss due to burning occurs in 1.4718 materialson friction welding joints. Total
material loss reaches the highest values in the parameter groups having the highest friction
time. When we regard all these criteria; A9, B3, B5, B6, B8, B9, C4, C7 and C8, parameter
groups differ from other groups according to the length shortening quantities. Efficient length
shortening quantities can notbe obtained for 2.7 s friction time. By increasing friction
pressure and forging pressure values it is determined that there is much more material loss in
the groupssubjected to4.7 s friction time. Length shortening quantities could not be obtained
at low friction time in group B samples. In the light of these results, group B5 can be
considered ideal for length shortening.

In joining A6061 alloy and SUS304 stainless steel by friction welding, it has been observed
that high forging pressures affect the joining strength positively and tensile strength of
notched samples increaseswith forging pressure and maximum effectiveness of joining is
seen as 87-93 %percent (Ochi etal., 1996).
In another study, energy absorption of normalized welding joining is rather more than a
normalized one, and energy transition temperature has been determined at about 24 0C at
normalized welding joining. This temperature is harmonious with temperature on fracture
surface. Crack proceeding strength of normalized welding joining is higherthan that of a
normalized one. Impact bending strength of normalized welding joining is almost the same as
hot processed metal (Kato et al., 1996).
Şahin et al.(1996)conducted tensile and microhardness tests, heat and SEM studiesin welding
zone to determine heat affected zone (HAZ)metalurgical variations on Al-Al, Al-Steel, and
steel-steel using different parameters of friction welding.They reported that welding
parameters significantly affected yield, tensile and fracture strength and HAZ zone near the
Al was wider on Al-steel joinings. Preperation measures of welding joining must be taken as

1-10 mm per welding joining by considering length shorteningduring surface preperationin
welded joints (Anık, 1983).
Ogawa et al.(1993)reported high material lossin friction welding of S45C steel, so it has to be
examinedfor its economical impact. In this study, low hardness thin grained ferrite, and
pearlite layer occured on HAZ. Slope of hardness distribution on joining zone has been
determined to be low at wider space.
Şahin(2005)determined optimum welding parameters as follows: friction time (4 s), friction
pressure (110 MPa) and tensile strength (600 MPa) on high-speed steel (HSS-S6) and
medium carbon steel (AISI 1040). He determined hardness of welding zone as 700 HV.
Şahin(2007) determined that optimum welding parameters as friction time 9 s, friction
pressure 60 MPa and tensile strength 800 MPa on stainless steel (AISI 304). He determined
hardness of welding zone as 200 HV. In these studies, the tensile strength of the joints
increased with the friction time and pressure, and it raised a maximum, but it decreased for
more friction time and pressure (Şahin, 2005; Şahin, 2007). Ateş et al. (2003) determined
friction time as 6 s, friction pressure 70 MPa, and tensile strength 850 MPa on MA 956 ironbased superalloy. They determined hardness of welding zone as 700 HV. In this study, tensile
strength increased with forging pressure and with friction pressure up to a certain value in
HAZ.
Özdemir(2005) and Özdemir et al. (2007)determined that hardness of welding zone as about
1000 HV on AISI 304 and AISI 4340 steel.In these studies, for excellent welding parameters
“the friction time was held as short as possible, while the rotational speed, friction and
forging pressure was chosen as high as possible. Satyanarayana et al.(2005)determined that
hardness of welding zone as about 270 HV, and notch tensile strength 690 MPa on AISI 304
and AISI 430 steel.The differences in our results and those of other previous studies may be
attributed to the fact that their materials and welding parameters were different from ours.
3. 2. Microstructure Properties
When microstructure results are examined, it has been observed that friction time does not
cause any noticeable differences in inner microstructure due to low friction pressure ingroup
A samples. Heat affected zone (HAZ) is observed to be thicker ingroup C samples. These
zones are seen to be much wider especially in the groups, belonging to the values of
increasing forging pressure and friction time. Mechanical orientation and wider HAZ are
observed on group C5 and 1.4871 materials. Mechanical orientation of grains is certainly
seen from central to outer on grains. Certain microstructure and standart thickness HAZ were
observed on group B samples (Fig. 3).

When forging pressure resuts are examined; in the inner structure of groups the high forging
pressure values from central to outer mechanical orientation in grains, coming out due to
deformation during welding is observed (Fig. 3). This orientation is possible for each of
thetwo materials. Standart thickness and more obvious HAZ are seen ingroup B samples (Fig.
4).

When tensile and notch impact tests results are examined, better mechanical were obtained in
group B5 samplesas compared with the other groups. When optical microscope images of
group B5 are examined; martensitic microstructure of 1.4718 materials waspresent at a
distant zone of welding. Austenitic microstructure of 1.4871 materials is seen at a zone way
from welding. Black zones occured in microstructures are Fe2C carburs on austenit grain
boundaries and some austenit grains. SEM image of 1.4718 and 1.4871 material
microstructure in a zone away from welding was shown as 4000 times magnified in Fig. 24.
SEM image of welding interface in two materials was shown as 4000 times magnified in Fig.

Şahin(2005; 2007), Ateş et al. (2007), Özdemir(2005) and Özdemir et al. (2007), and
Satyanarayana et al. (2005)observed thin grained structure in welding zone, and observed
grain orientation in HAZ in medium carbon steels, and stainless steels.Ateş et al. (2007)
reported that HAZ and grain orientation in microstructure increased with increasing friction
pressure. They reported that HAZ and grain orientation in microstructure decreased with
increasing forging pressure. In our study, similar microstructure results were obtained.
4. CONCLUSIONS
In this study, the optimum welding parameters were determined in materials during the
connection of X53CrMnNiN219 and X45CrSi93 steels by friction welding.Based on the
findings of this research, the following conclusions can be drawn:
1. Efficient length shortening quantities can not be obtained in the samples in which friction
time is applied as 2.7 s. It has been determined that there has been more material loss with
increased friction pressure and forging pressure in the groups where the highest friction time
was 4.7 s. While the ideal length shortening is 7-10 mm, it is 8.85 mm for B5.
2. Break from welding zone is not observed on the samples of group B5 on tensile tests. For
tensile properties, B5 parameter group has been determined as an ideal parameter group.
3. The highest fracture energy (toughness) on tensile tests was observed in group B5.
4. Profiles hardness of A group occured on near 1.4871 material of welding zone, and the
highest value of hardness of these samples occured near 1.4718 material of welding zone.
The slope of hardness profile on group B and C was much higher than that of group A in the
welding zone.
5. Carbur formations were clearly observed along direction lines of HAZ and mechanical
orientations on group B5 optical micrscope images. Austenitic structure occured on
microstructure distant welding zone 1.4718 and martensitic structure occured on 1.4871
material on distant welding zone. Next to welding zone, gain shortening and grain flatness
occured as perpendicular deformation in 1.4871 materials.

(P1) was determined as 207 MPa, forging pressure (P2) was determined 414 MPa on B5
group and joining by friction welding 1.4871 and 1.4718 materials.
