“…This study showed that lifetime extension approach is a way to minimize the environmental impacts of ewastes such as saving energy and reducing greenhouse by extending the e-products' lifespan. However, standards addressing best practices for lifetime extension of each e-product must be created and adopted as indicated by Hazelwood and Pecht (2021).…”

Electrical and electronic products (e-products) enabling human being benefit from higher standards of living has become an indispensable part of daily life. Since the e-products obsolete very quickly because of accelerating technological changes and consumption rates, e-waste is believed to be one of the most critical waste issue of coming future. E-waste is any electrical and electronic products that are unwanted, not working, and nearing or at the end of their useful life. The increasing levels of e-waste depending on usage of short lifespan e-products are significant threat to the environment and to human health. Lifetime extension is considered as one of the approaches to decrease or control e-wastes. A computer as an e-product is a system consisting of components, some or all of which may deteriorate over time at different rates mainly due to commercial and technological reasons. In this study, lifetime extension approach has been recommended for computers in which significant components are upgraded to attain threshold performance value.

“…Total sales revenue of 7 billion dollars was obtained from this sale. Similarly, refurbished smartphone sales increased to 140 million units in 2017 and more than doubled in three years, generating $14 billion in sales revenue (Hazelwood & Pecht, 2021). In research conducted in Indonesia, it was stated that young participants may switch to a refurbished smartphone rather than buying a mid-range smartphone if the refurbished smartphone provides more benefits to them (Halim et al, 2022).…”

Changes in the consumption culture of individuals, the economic problems experienced and the increase in environmental awareness cause significant increases in the sales of refurbished products, especially technological devices. While the growth of the refurbished product market contributes to consumers having these products at more economical prices, it also contributes to the reduction of the production costs of the enterprises and, from an environmental point of view, to the prevention of possible waste and damages that may arise during the production of new products. Therefore, it would not be wrong to argue that the sales of refurbished products will increase gradually and to predict that the refurbished product market will grow by diversifying. The present study investigates the effect of perceived risk dimensions of young consumers living in Turkey on their intention to purchase refurbished products. The reason why the Z generation was chosen in the study is to learn the buying habits of new or renewed products in technological products and to examine their attitudes towards refurbished products as a generation born and grown up in technology. Another reason for the selection of the Z generation in the research is that the Z generation, which constitutes an important part of society in Turkey, directs technological trends. It is thought that the findings of the research will make significant contributions to the marketing decisions of the companies producing technology for the Z generation, lawmakers and researchers. The research was carried out between January and March 2022 with 415 participants living in Istanbul, Turkey’s largest city, determined by the convenience sampling method. In this research, regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. The research was carried out with 415 participants. As a result of the research, it was determined that social risk has a low positive and significant effect on the effect of perceived risk dimensions of Generation Z consumers on the purchase intention of the refurbished product, performance risk has a low negative significant effect, psychological risk has a good positive and significant effect, time risk has a low positive significant effect, and physical risk has a low negative and significant effect. These results show that the psychological risk perception of Z generation consumers is important in their renewed product preferences. For this reason, companies should be careful to offer products that meet the expectations of consumers for refurbished products and not disappoint Z generation consumers.

“…The aluminum sheet is used for the outer body part of a machine due to plastic deformation properties [2]. With its properties, big manufacturing companies like Apple and Samsung use aluminum sheets for their products [3]. A5052 is an aluminum alloy that was used for the experiment throughout this paper.…”

The single point incremental forming (SPIF) process is a high-trend method for forming a metal in a desirable shape. Forming parameters is an important part of deforming metal sheets. So, while reshaping a metal sheet parameters like tools, toolpath, material properties, sheet thickness, and lubricant were considered. Since the Aluminum sheet is used world widely for the body parts of machines for manufacturing parts. So, an A5052 metallic sheet was formed for the improvement of the depth deforming through the SPIF process. While forming an A5052 sheet lubricant was used constantly. After deforming through the SPIF process, further evaluations of the formed part were examined with the nanoprofiling machine to evaluate the deformed areas. Moreover, the deformed part was analyzed for the nana profiling for the deformation occurs on the surface. Likewise, before forming a part, the A5052 design was computer analysis. The simulation part was studied for fixing the maximum depth.
