In thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems, the life of the coating depends on thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer because most of the failure of TBCs occurs when TGO growth increases. In order to inhibit TGO growth, process was additionally carried out before the heat treatment of the TBC coating layer at $1200^{\circ}C$ in air. In the additional process, heat treatment in vacuum furnace of < $10^{-5}$ torr was conducted for 7 h and 14 h before the heat treatment. The area and length of TGO, as well as the crack length in the TBC were characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The TGO thickness and crack of specimens pre-heat treated in vacuum furnace were reduced by 45% compare to those heat treated in furnace. Consequently, pre-heat treatment in a vacuum furnace process lead to effective inhibition of growth of the TGO.

Effect of heat treatment conditions on formability and property of warm hydroformed parts for Al 6061 extruded tubes was investigated in this study. For the investigation, as-extruded, fully annealed and T6-treated Al 6061 seamless tubes were prepared. To evaluate the warm hydroformability, uni-axial tensile test and free bulge test were performed at various pre- and post-heat treatment conditions. And the tensile test specimens were obtained from hexagonal prototype hydroformed parts at $250^{\circ}C$. As a result, hydroformability of fully annealed tube is 25% higher than that of extruded tube. The tensile strength and strain of hydroformed part reach to 330 MPa and 12%, respectively, when the part was T6 treated after warm hydroforming. However, the hydroformability of T6 pre-treated tube is relatively low due to the decreased elongation, 8%.

Ionic polymer metal composite(IPMC) has been used as a promising material for various actuator applications. The IPMC actuator is difficult to be fabricated with complicated 3-dimensional shape. We propose a simple heat treatment process that can fabricate IPMC actuator with various shapes. Experimental results show the pre-shaped IPMC actuator by heat treatment does not show any degradation of its actuation abilities such as bending displacement, generation force and reliability in bending motion.

For expanding the applications and workability of TiAl alloy, elongation is very important property. Fine microstructure is needed for elongation and physical properties of TiAl alloys. In this study, The effects of cyclic heat treatment process for fine microstructure of Ti-46Al-Nb-W-Cr-Si-C alloy, which was made by VAR (vacuum arc remelting) and VIM(vacuum induction melting) centrifugal casting process, was investigated. Cycle heat treatment process was very effective for recrystallization of this TiAl system, which has microstructure size of $50{\sim}100{\mu}m$ through pre-heat treatment, cyclic heat treatment in ${\alpha}+{\gamma}$ phase region and solution heat treatment respectively. Refined grain size was finally confirmed by photos of optical microscope and scanning electron microscope.

New post plasma nitriding can achieve a high uniformity that have been difficult in DC nitriding and have a high productivity comparable to gas nitriding. However, it has not a enough high nitriding potential for a rapid nitriding, because surface activation or ion etching in the general plasma nitriding cannot be expected. Thus, in this study, the effects of pre-treatments with oxidation and reduction gas have been investigated to improve the nitriding kinetics of post plasma nitriding. An effective pre-treatment consisting of oxidation and reduction resulted in the increase of surface energy of STD 11. This induced the surface hardness and the effective nitriding depth of STD 11. It is thought that the increase of the surface energy and the surface area with pre-treatment promote the nucleation of nitriding layer.

Pre-aging heat treatment after solution heat treatment (SHT) of Al-0.4 wt%Mg-1.2 wt%Si-0.1 wt%Mn alloy sheets for auto-bodies was carried out to investigate the effect of pre-aging and its conditions on the bake-hardening response. Mechanical properties were evaluated by a tensile and Vickers hardness test. Microstructural observation was also performed using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). It was revealed that pre-aging treatments play a great role in the bake-hardening response. In addition, it was found that the sphere-shaped nanosized clusters that can directly transit to the needle-shaped ${\beta}$" phase during the paint-bake process, not being dissolved into the matrix, are formed at 343 K. The result, reveals that the dominant factor of the bake-hardening response is the pre-aging temperature rather than the pre-aging time.

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.

In this study, when printed on a nylon material, the color strength and fastness are lower than that of a polyester material, and the nylon material shrinks due to heat and pressure, resulting in poor design and poor compatibility. To overcome this problem, we investigated the possibility of transfer DTP by adding pre-treatment process to nylon transfer DTP process. For the basic study of pre-treatment preparation, we used pure nylon material which is not compounded and dispersion ink and transfer paper applied to existing PET transfer DTP. Pre-treatment preparations were classified into three types of acryl-base polymer and pre-treated with nylon and then applied to transfer DTP to confirm their color strength and fastness. The color strength of the pre-treated nylon material increased and poly-methyl-acrylate amulsion pre-treatment showed the best color at $210^{\circ}C$, 1.5m/min and 0.3MPa. The nylon material pre-treated with washing, friction, and light fastness was judged to be more excellent and stable.

$Nb_3Sn$ superconducting wires were fabricated in order to investigate the effect of pre-heat treatment for internal tin process. 2 types of Sn reservoir were fabricated. One was arranged one large Sn reservoir in the center of wire, the other arranged several Sn reservoirs inthe wire. Diffusion of Sn is better in the strand divided Sn equally than in the strand had one large Sn reservoir during pre heat-treatment. Critical current was better in the wires divided Sn reservoirs uniformly after whole heat treatment.

We investigate the mechanical behavior of a pre-heat treated steel of ESW95, which is being used for automotive parts including tie-rods to save manufacturing cost and enhance product quality. SCM435 is also investigated to reveal the characteristics of the pre-heat treated steel tested. AFDEX/MAT is used to extract the true stress-strain curve over the large strain with higher accuracy. It has been found that ESW95 has very week strain-hardening behavior which can be negligible compared with SCM435 and that the initial yield strength is quite high and the toughness of ESW95 reaches nearly 75% of SCM435. ESW95 is characterized by the weak strain-hardening behavior and high yield strength that can be lead to minimization of post-processing including heat treatment and straightening. ESW95 and SCM435 are also compared by applying them to ball-stud forging by computer simulation. It is expected that a great deal of change may take place in production as well as in service if the pre-heated steels are adopted.
