The effects of added elements, such as Co or Nb, on wear properties of high speed steel by powder metaliurgy(PM-HSS) had been eluminated in auther's previous paper. In addition, it is generally known that the wear properties of materials have been influenced by heat-treating conditions as well. Therefore, a study has been done to clarify the effects of heat-treating conditions on wear properties of PM-HSS. The wear tests have been performed under the same conditions as the previous paper using heat-treated PM-HSS(5%Co-1%Nb) with different quenching and tempering temperatures. The result of this paper shows that wear resistance of PM-HSS is improved with relatively high quenching temperature. However, tempering temperature is not sensitive to the wear resistance in the range of high quenching temperature. It may be deduced by the fact that the shear strength of matrix by strengthening mechanisms due to not only the quenching aging but also dispersion-hardening is improved.

The mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V can be improved by microstructural control through the heat treatment in ${\alpha}+{\beta}$ region. The heat treatment was carried out with a variety of heat treatment temperatures and holding times to find the optimized heat treatment conditions and it was analyzed by linking the microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties. The part of ${\beta}$ phase with $10{\pm}2wt%$ vanadium was transformed into ${\alpha}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$ martensite phase after quenched, so the hardness and tensile properties were decreased below $900^{\circ}C$. The higher the heat treatment temperature is, the smaller is the vanadium-rich region, which leads to transformation into hcp ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ martensite above $900^{\circ}C$. The hardness and tensile properties were improved due to the hard ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ martensite. As the holding times were longer, the hardness and tensile properties decreased below $900^{\circ}C$ because of the softening effect by the grain growth. When varying the holding times above $900^{\circ}C$, the change of mechanical properties was slight because the softening effect of grain growth and the strengthening effect of ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ phase were counteractive. Therefore, the best conditions of heat treatment, which is in the range of $920{\sim}960^{\circ}C$, 40 min, WQ, can effectively improve the mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V.

The characteristics of residual stresses occurring in PM steel based nickel (FLN2-4405) was investigated. The measurements of residual stresses were carried out by electrochemical layer removal technique. The values and distributions of residual stresses occurring in PM steel processed under various densities and heat treatment conditions were determined. In most of the experiments, tensile residual stresses were recorded in surface of samples. The residual stress distribution on the surface of the PM steels is affected by the heat treatment conditions and density. Maximum values of residual stresses on the surface were observed sinter hardened condition and $7.4\;g/cm^3$ density. Minimum level of recorded tensile residual stresses are150 MPa and its maximum level is 370 MPa.

Present work was carried out to investigate the influence of welded conditions, such as welding current, diameter of welding wire on the microstructural change and mechanical properties of TIG welded joint in AZ31B Mg alloy. It was found that good and sound welded joint was achieved in all welding conditions. The grain size decreased with increasing welding current and decreasing diameter of welding wire. Also, the second phases were homogeneously distributed in the grain and grain boundary as decreasing welding current and diameter of welding wire. The ${\beta}$ discontinuos precipitates were observed in the welded joint, but this microstructure has not been reported by previous researchs in AZ31B Mg alloy. The hardness value is affected by the existence state of the second phase and the hardness of the welded joint region is lower than the other regions in welded AZ31B Mg alloy. The strength of the welded joint region was influenced by the grain size and has more than 90%, compared to that of ASTM standard specification.

In this study, the experiments were carried out for the purpose of establishment of aluminium cementation to steel surface by diffusible heat treatment after making the coated film onto the substrate by arc spray method. Also, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the cementation layer produced by this study were inspected for various heat treatment and spraying conditions. Main results obtained are as follow ; 1. The coating film characteristics which have excellent errosion-resistance, high temperature oxidation-resistance are obtained by aluminium penetration heat treatment after making the sprayed aluminum coating film onto the steel substrate. 2. Aluminium diffusion penetration takes place at higher temperature than 660.deg.C, and the more heat treatment time and the higher heat treatment temperature adopted, the deeper diffusion layer obtained. 3. Insert gas arc spraying using argon gas as the carrier gas higher improvement of mechanical property than that of compressed air environment. 4. The coating film characteristics appeared to be improvement of adhesive property, porosity plugging effect by heat treatment in air environment.

The influence of post-roll bonding heat treatment conditions such as temperature and time on the variation in the diffusion layer, generated at the bonding interface and the subsequent mechanical properties of the roll-bonded Ti grade 1/Al1050/Ti grade 1 sheets, was systematically investigated. The intermetallic compound (IMC) phase generated by post heat treatment conditions adopted in this study was obviously indexed as monolithic TiAl₃. Whereas the thickness of IMC layer generated by annealing at 500 ℃ was approximately 100 nm scale, it drastically increased above 1.5 ㎛ when annealed at 600 ℃. Uniaxial tensile and peel tests were then performed to compare mechanical properties. As a result, the bonding strength drastically increased above 7.9 N/mm by annealing at 600 ℃, which implies that proper annealing condition was a prerequisite, to improving interface bonding strength as well as global elongation properties for Ti/Al/Ti 3-ply sheet.

This study deals with the heat-treatment technique of SM45C steel with respect to less of deformation in control. The whole process for the production of landing gear must go through with uniformally controlled heat treatment, where as most deformation usually occur in nonuniform cooling environment. When a heated metal is submerged into a certain quenchant, the rate of cooling rapidity can be measured rather slow during the early stage of the procedure due to an Occurrence of a vapor blanked. As the additional course of cooling action is applied and the vapor from a vapor blanked is destroyed simultaneously, the speed of cooling promptness can be considered rather swift. The object of this study is to control the certain deformations as in the procedure of a heat treatment for landing gear by analyzing and improving the conditions of different substance of quenching liquids. Several noticeable curves indicating the temperature variation on the ap-plied metals during the cooling procedures, along with detectable rates of water verses oil and that of different polymer solutions are illustrated.

Nano-sized titanium oxide powders were synthesized by a polymer matrix technique using pulp and Titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) as starting materials. The synthesized powders were characterized by XRD and FE-SEM. The particle size of the powders was controlled by preparation conditions, such as heat treatment temperature and time. After investigating various drying and heat treatment conditions, 50-100 nm sized homogeneous titanium oxide particles were obtained by treating at $600^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The crystallization and rapid growth of particles was accelerated by increasing heat treatment temperature and time. Anatase phase generated below $600^{\circ}C$ transformed to the rutile phase with increasing heat treatment temperature. Moreover, above $800^{\circ}C$, heat treatment time had a very large influence on particle growth, and changing the heating condition also had a large influence on crystal growth.
