The influence of welding heat input variation(600-900J/cm) and heat-treatment condition after welding on tensile strength of butt welded joint in $175Kg/mm^2$ strength level Maraging steel(Co-free and Co-containing) sheets was investigated on the basis of hardness distribution, microstructure of weld metal and fracture surface. The obtained main results are as follows; 1. The strength of weldment (UTS, NTS), joint efficiency showed a little decreasing tendency with the increase in welding heat input, and the elongation showed a little increasing tendency with the increase in the width of weld metal. It was considered because of the plastic constraint of the high strength base metal. 2. The strength of weldment was better in the solution treatment and aging than the aging only after welding due to the disappearance of almost denverite in weld metal. 3. The hardness distribution in weldment after welding and heat-treatment was almost similar to both Co containing and Co free Maraging steel with change in welding heat input. 4. The fracture was occurred at weld metal, and the fracture surface showed a relatively shallow dimples in both Co containing and Co free Maraging steel.

The effects of aging treatment sequence, specifically pre-aging and post-aging, on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloys has been studied in comparison to symmetrically rolled specimens. In symmetrically rolled specimens, a straight-band precipitation distribution was observed, whereas asymmetrically rolled specimens exhibited a curved-band microstructure of fine precipitates. Notably, the asymmetrically rolled specimens displayed higher strengths. In the case of post-aging, the aging process occurred after rolling, and the dislocations generated during rolling acted as nucleation sites for precipitates during aging. This resulted in the formation of fine precipitates, contributing to improved mechanical properties compared to symmetric rolling. To enhance strength of the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloys, asymmetric rolling proves to be more effective than symmetric rolling, with post-aging showing greater efficacy than pre-aging.

When natural rubber is used for a long period of time, it becomes aged; it usually becomes hardened and loses its damping capability. This aging process affects not only the material property but also the (fatigue) life of natural rubber. In this paper the aging effects on the material property and the fatigue life were experimentally investigated. In addition, several fatigue life prediction equations for natural rubber were proposed. In order to investigate the aging effects on the material property, the load-stretch ratio curves were plotted from the results of the tensile test, the compression test and the simple shear test for virgin and heat-aged rubber specimens. Rubber specimens were heat-aged in an oven at a temperature ranging from $50^{\circ}C$ to $90^{\circ}C$ for a period ranging from 2 days to 16 days. In order to investigate the aging effects on the fatigue life, fatigue tests were conducted for differently heat-aged hourglass-shaped and simple shear specimens. Moreover, finite element simulations were conducted for the specimens to calculate physical quantities occurring in the specimens such as the maximum value of the effective stress, the strain energy density, the first invariant of the Cauchy-Green deformation tensor and the maximum principal nominal strain. Then, four fatigue life prediction equations based on one of the physical quantities could be obtained by fitting the equations to the test data. Finally, the fatigue life of a rubber bush used in an automobile was predicted by using the prediction equations, and it was compared with the test data of the bush to evaluate the reliability of those equations.

호박은 benzene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene과 같은 aromatic ring을 포함하는 화합물로 구성되어 있어 자외선 조사 시 형광을 나타낸다. 하지만, 공기, 열, 빛 등에 노출되어 자연적인 열화과정을 거치면서 표면이 풍화되고 그에 따라 형광특성이 약해지는 경향이 있다. 본 연구에서는 인공적인 열화를 실시하고 형광의 변화를 관찰하여 형광현상을 이용한 호박 확인방법의 유효성을 평가하고자 하였다. 열화인자는 자외선(${\lambda}$=340 nm), 산소(100%, $90^{\circ}C$), 열($90^{\circ}C$)이고, 열화기간은 5, 15, 30, 60일로 하여 열화를 실시하였다. 자외선 조사에 따른 형광스펙트럼에서는 세 가지 인자에 대해 시간이 경과하면서 형광의 세기가 감소하고 형광의 파장은 장파장으로 이동하였다. 특히, 산소 분위기에서 열화된 호박에서는 60일이 경과한 후 형광의 세기가 초기값의 1.7%로 급격하게 감소하였다. 다만, Colombian호박의 경우 열화 후 일정시간까지 형광의 세기가 증가하고 있어 열, UV등의 인자가 오히려 aromatic ring을 생성하면서 호박화를 촉진하는 것으로 판단된다. 결론적으로, 열, 빛, 산소 등이 존재하는 자연 상태에서 호박의 형광이 약화됨을 확인할 수 있었고, 호박유물 조사에서 호박의 확인을 형광 관찰에만 의존하기는 어려운 것으로 판단된다.

The electrochemical corrosion properties of austenitic AISI 304 steel subjected to a long-term-aging heat treatment were investigated. AISI 304 steel was aged at 700 ℃ for up to 10,000 h. The variation in the microstructure of the aged specimens was observed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Electrochemical polarization experiments were performed to obtain the corrosion current density (Icorr) and corrosion potential (Ecorr). Analyses indicated that the metastable intermetallic carbide M₂₃C₆ formed near the γ/γ grain boundary and coarsened with increasing aging time; meanwhile, the δ-ferrite decomposed into the σ phase and into M₂₃C₆ carbide. As the aging time increased, the current density increased, but the corrosion potential of the austenitic specimen remained high (at least 0.04 ㎛/cm²). Because intergranular carbide was absent, the austenitic annealed specimen exhibited the highest pitting resistance. Consequently, the corrosion resistance of austenitic AISI 304 steel decreased as the aging heat treatment time increased.

The effects of thermomechanical and duplex aging treatment on precipitation behavior were investigated for the 8090 aluminium alloy by tensile test, hardness test, plane-strain fracture toughness test and electron microscope. Both pre-aging stretch and duplex aging with pre-aging stretch were effective to homogenize the distribution of S' phase in this alloys. The latter makes more homogeneous distribution of S' phase than that of the former, but the sizes of S' phase in both specimens are almost same. The size and distribution of 0' phase were not changed by thermomechanical or duplex aging treatment. The strength was increased by thermomechanical treatment, but the elongation was decreased. Duplex aging treatment couldn't change the strength and elongation. Pre-aging stretch and duplex aging with pre-aging stretch have same effect on the strength and elongation. The increase of strength by thermomechanical treatment in 8090 alumunium alloy was caused by homogeneously precipitated S' phase.

티타늄은 표면에 형성되는 보호성 부동태 피막 때문에 일반부식과 해수에서 내식성이 강하지만 염산, 황산, 인산 등의 산에서는 보호성 산화물 피막이 파괴된다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 Ti에 Al 및 V등을 첨가한 ${\alpha}+{\beta}$계에 대하여 $1066^{\circ}C$와 $966^{\circ}C$에서 5시간 용체화 열처리를 실시하고, 이 시편을 $550^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$, 및 $650^{\circ}C$에서 각각 1시간, 4시간, 8시간 및 16시간 시효열처리한 후 마이크로비커스 경도를 측정하고, 이 시편을 1N $H_2SO_4$ 용액에서 전기화학적 분극법으로 부식을 계측하였으며, 분극을 마친 시편의 표면을 현미경 조직사진으로 부식상태를 검토하였다. 시험 결과 용체화열처리한 시편이 모재와 시효열처리한 시편보다 높은 내식성을 나타내며. 용체화 온도가 높고 시간이 길어질수록 내식성은 증가하였다.

A study was performed to examine the aging behaviors of Al-2.1Li-2.9Cu alloy by differential scanning calorimetry and transmission electron microscopy. DSC measurements were conducted over the temperature range of $25{\sim}550^{\circ}C$ at a heating rate of $5^{\circ}C$/min. for the specimens aged at 130, 160, $190^{\circ}C$ and $220^{\circ}C$ for various times after solution treatment at $540^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. The peaks due to the formation of G.P.zone were not detected in the specimens aged at 130 and $160^{\circ}C$, but those at 190 and $220^{\circ}C$ appeared in DSC curves. The heat absorption due to the dissolution of ${\delta}^{\prime}$ phase was increased with increasing aging time at $130^{\circ}C$ aging. In contrast, those values for the specimens aged at 160 and $190^{\circ}C$ were initially increased and inversely decreased at the transition time of 72 and 1 hour, respectively. The heat evolution due to the formation of $T_1$ phase was nearly unchanged at $130^{\circ}C$ aging, but at $160^{\circ}C$ and $190^{\circ}C$ aging, drastically decreased after the transition time. It can be considered that the increase of $T_1$ phase results in the decrease of ${\delta}^{\prime}$ phase when aging time is longer than the transition time. The hardness of the specimen aged at $190^{\circ}C$ is initially higher compared with that at $160^{\circ}C$, however, the peak hardness shows the lower value than that at $160^{\circ}C$.

In this study, the effect of heat treatment to the electrochemical polarization resistance for the Ti-6Al-4V alloy was measured. The solution heat treatments were carried out at $1066^{circ}E, 966^{\circ}$E$, followed by aging heat treated $550^{circ}E, 600^{circ}E, and 650^{circ}E$. The electrochemical polarization resistance behavior was measured by potentio-dynamic polarization in the 1N $HNO_3$ + 15ppm HF solution. The obtained results were as follows. 1. As solution heat temperature increased. the corrosion potential was increased, whereas passive current density and critical current density were decreased. 2. As aging heat temperature increased, the corrosion potential was almost constant, but passive current density was decreased 3. The results of composition test measured by EDS at grain boundary and near $\gamma'$ precipitates indicated that S, Cl. and Si which originated from base metal were segregated at the grain boundaries Al and Ti which were the main alloying element in $\gamma'$ were depleted at the $\gamma'$ precipitated. The depletion of Al and Ti in $\gamma'$ was caused to early breakdown of passive film.

The relationship between precipitation and coefficient of thermal expansion of Al-6%Si-0.4%Mg-0.9%Cu-(Ti) alloy (in wt.%) after various heat treatments were studied by the thermodynamic analyzer (TMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Solution heat treatment of the alloy was carried out at 535℃ for 6 h followed by water quenching, and the samples were artificially aged in the air at 180℃ and 220℃ for 5 h. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) curve showed some residual strain and decreased with increasing aging temperature. The CTE curves changed sharply in the temperature range of 200℃ to 400℃, and the corresponding peak shifted for the aged samples due to the change in the precipitation behavior of the secondary phase. These transformation peaks in the aged sample are related to the volume of the precipitation of the Si phase as determined by DSC analysis. The change in CTE is mainly caused by the precipitation of the Si phase in the Al-Si alloy, and the size of the change occurs simultaneously with the size of the precipitate.
