Solid state diffusion brazing of aluminum castings (AC4C) and wrought alloys (Al6061) was conducted in order to improve thermal conductivity and temperature uniformity of the aluminum heater which was generally fabricated by casting method. Tensile strength and thermal conductivity are raised with increasing brazing temperature, obtaining 122.5 MPa and $206W/m{\cdot}K$ at $540^{\circ}C$ 5hrs brazing conditions, respectively. The diffusion brazed heater, shows maximum temperature difference of $4^{\circ}C$, exhibits a enhanced temperature uniformity compared with the cast heater having the maximum temperature difference of $11^{\circ}C$.

The objective of this study was to investigate corrosion and cavitation-erosion characteristics of the electroless nickel plating layer with heat treatment. The crystallization temperature of the electroless nickel plating layer was about 410 ℃. The phase transformation energy was confirmed to be 12.66 J/g. With increasing heat treatment temperature, the amorphous electroless nickel plating layer gradually changed to crystalline Ni and Ni₃P. At the same time, the crystal grain size was also increased. Additionally, when heat treatment was performed at a temperature above 400 ℃, NiO phase was observed due to oxidation phenomenon. As a result of the electrochemical polarization experiment, the corrosion resistance of the heat-treated electroless nickel plating layers was superior to that of the as-deposited plating layer. This was because crystal grains became larger and grain boundaries decreased during heat treatment. The cavitation-erosion resistance of heat-treated plating layers tended to be superior to that of as-deposited plating layers due to increased microhardness.

This study was undertaken to find out the effect of heating time and temperature, pH and NaCl concentration on the heat stability of egg albumen gel during heat treatment. With the transient decrease at 110-$130^{\circ}C$, hardness of heat-set albumen gel was increased as the heating temperature increased. The cohesiveness showed similar trend as well. The lightness was decreased while the yellowness was increased as the heating time and temperature increased. Heat-set albumen gel showed maximum hardness at pH 4.5-5.0 and pH 9.0 High heat treatment($120^{\circ}C$, 30min) showed higher hardness at alkaline range compared to low heat treatment($96^{\circ}C$, 30min.). Color of the albumen gel was relatively dark at acidic range and bright at alkaline range. High heat treatment caused darker albumen gel at alkaline range and brighter albumen gel at acidic range. The addition of NaCl increased hardness and cohesiveness of the albumen gel and improved the lightness after high heat treatment regardless of NaCl concentration.

This study investigated characteristics of the post-weld heat treatment of SA213-T23, which was developed for water wall of the ultra super critical power boiler. The temperature of post weld heat treatment should be $730^{\circ}C$ or higher to reduce hardness of the deposit metal and heat affected zone. Coincidently, the temperature should remain $760^{\circ}C$ or lower to prevent hardness of the base metal from dropping. Hardness decline of deposit metal was trivial according to time when the holding time of heat treatment at $740^{\circ}C$ of post-weld heat treatment gradually increased from initial 15 minutes.

Recently, Laser surface treatment technologies have been used to improve wear charactenitics and fatigue resistance of metal molding. When the laser beam is irradiated on the surface and laser speed is appropriate, the laser focal position is rapidly heated and the thermal energy of surface penetrates the material after irradiation, finally imbuing it with a new mechanical characteristic by the process of self-quenching. This research estimates the material characteristic after efficient and functional surface treatment using HPDL, which is more efficient than the existing CW Nd:YAG laser heat source. To estimate this, microstructural changes and hardness characteristics of three parts (the surface treatment part, heat affect zone, and parental material) are observed with the change of laser beam speed and surface temperature. Moreover, the depth of the hardened area is observed with the change of the laser beam speed and temperature. From the results of the experiments, it has been shown that the maximum hardness is approximately 788Hv when the heat treatment temperature and the travel speed are $1150^{\circ}$ and 2 mm/sec, respectively.

Phase stability of tetragonal crystals in yttria-stabilized zirconia ceramics is dependent on the content of yttria and the heat-treatment condition, related with mechanical properties. In this study, we fabricated the 1.5 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (1.5Y-YSZ) ceramics by cold isostatic pressing (CIP) and post-sintering at temperature range of 1200 to 1350℃ for 2 hours and investigated the sintered properties and microstructural evolution. Sintered and microstructural parameters, i.e, apparent density, grain size and phase composition of 1.5Y-YSZ ceramics were mainly dependent on the sintering temperature. Maximum sintered density of 99.4 % and average grain size of 200-300 nm could be obtained from the heat-treatment condition above sintering temperature at 1300℃ for 2 hours, possessing the superior mechanical hardness with 1200 Hv. However, phase stability of tetragonal grains in 1.5 YSZ ceramics is very low, inducing the phase transformation to monoclinic crystals on specimen surface during cooling after heat-treatment.

The reticulated carbon foam have been used for their excellent properties in terms of thermal management which is getting important in industrial field currently. In this study, we measure the mechanical properties of the reticulated carbon foam which is heat-treated at various temperature from the prepared low-density phenol foam. Simultaneously, we observe microstructures with high resolution transmission microscope and measure the residual oxygen content of carbon foams to figure out the relationship between the apparent change of properties such as weight loss and linear shrinkage during heat treatment. In conclusion, the carbon foam heat-treated at $1400^{\circ}C$ shows the highest strength, and the mechanical behavior is believed to be strongly related to the creation of nano-size graphite crystals from the amorphous carbon during heat treatment. On the other hand, it is turned out that the weight loss occurred at the temperature under $1400^{\circ}C$ comes from the elimination of oxygen in the form of $CO_2$ or CO, but no evidence is found on weight loss mechanism at the temperature above $1400^{\circ}C$.

In this research, nitrogen plasma source ion implantation(PSII) of non-coated tungsten carbide endmill tools was conducted with low heat treatment for increasing wear resistance. After the low heat treatment of PSIIed tools to give a homogeneity of wear resistance, the surface modification of tools was analyzed by hardness test, surface roughness and cutting forces. As for the resultant cutting forces, low heat treatment in temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$ is stable because of low cutting resistance. The 20-minutes heat treated tool at spindle speed 25000rpm has superiority of surface roughness, Ra of $0.420{\mu}m$ and was found to have good wear resistance. The higher hardness value was obtained by increasing temperature from $300^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$ for PSIIed tools with low heat treatment. As the PSIIed tools under 10minutes at temperature of $600^{\circ}C$ have the highest hardness as Hv of 2349.8, It was analyzed that temperature processing give much influences on hardness.

In this study, commercially available pitch-based carbon fibers of general grade were post-heat-treated using a boxtype high temperature furnace at $1800^{\circ}C$, $2000^{\circ}$, $2200^{\circ}C$, and $2400^{\circ}C$, respectively. The fundamental characteristics of each heat-treated carbon fibers were investigated in terms of chemical composition, morphology, thermal stability, X-ray diffraction, single filament tensile test, and electrical resistivity. The result showed that the fiber properties were significantly influenced by the post-heat-treatment, indicating the greater effect with increasing treatment temperature. The carbon contents, thermal stability, and tensile properties of the carbon fibers used here were further increased by the post-heat-treatment, whereas the d-spacing between graphene layers and the electrical resistivity were reduced with increasing post-heat-treatment temperature.
