Effects of Ca content on the refinement of primary Si of Aluminum B390 alloy have been examined. Ca was found to have an effect on the refinement of primary Si particle. Primary Si particle size has been refined as Ca content of the melts decreased and cooling rate increased. A control of Ca content by the addition of $CuCl_2$ to the melt was the most efficient in the refinement of primary Si particles. The minimum size of primary Si particles in this study was $15.0\;{\mu}m$ when a residual content of Ca element in the alloy was 5ppm, Primary Si particle size was refined as primary Si crystallization temperature increased, which was attributed to the decrease of Ca content in the melts.

In this paper we propose a new approach to the variable selection problem for a primary resolution and wavelet basis functions in wavelet regression. Most wavelet shrinkage methods focus on thresholding the wavelet coefficients, given a primary resolution which is usually determined by the sample size. However, both a primary resolution and the basis functions are affected by the shape of an unknown function rather than the sample size. Unlike existing methods, our method does not depend on the sample size and also takes into account the shape of the unknown function.

Rheocasting of AZ91D magnesium alloys yielded the microstructure consisted of the spherical primary particles in the matrix which is different from conventional casting. Rheocast ingots were produced under various processing conditions using batch type rheocaster. Morphology of primary particles was changed from rosette-shape to spherical shape with increasing stirring rate$(V_s)$ and decreasing isothermal stirring temperature$(T_s)$. With increasing $V_s$, more effective shearing between the particles occurred rather than the agglomeration and clustering, so the primary particle size decreased. But with decreasing $T_s$, primary particle size increased mainly due to sintering and partially Ostwald ripening. The sphericity of primary particles increased with increasing $V_s$ and decreasing $T_s$ due to enhanced abrasion among the primary particles. The uniformity of primary particle size increased with increasing Vs and $T_s$.

Effects of refinement of primary Si and residual stress on the mechanical properties of Aluminum B.390 alloy have been examined. Calcium was found to have an effect on the size of primary silicon particles. Primary silicon particle was refined as Ca content decreased. Refinement of primary Si particles led to an improvement in mechanical properties of the alloy; increase of elongation was prominent, above all. By the increase of compressive residual stress in the matrix alloy, tensile strength increased but elongation decreased.

Wear behaviour of B.390 aluminum alloy with different particle sizes of primary Si against a SM45C counterface was studied as a function of wear load and sliding velocity, using pin-on-disk apparatus under dry condition. The wear rate of specimen with fine primary Si particles showed increased wear resistance at high wear load, on the other side wear resistance of coarse primary Si particle size was improved at low wear load. As the compressive residual stress in the matrix increased remarkably by liquid nitrogen(LN) treatment, wear resistance of the LN treated specimen was more excellent than that of T6 treated specimen.

Recently there is an increasing interest in particulate matter emission because of new emission regulations, health awareness and environmental problems. It requires to improve particulate measurement techniques as well as to reduce soot emissions from combustion systems. As mentioned above, it is demanded that reduction techniques together with measurement techniques of exhausted particulate matters in combustion systems such as vehicles. However, measurement techniques of particulate matters should be prior to reduction techniques of that because it is able to know an increase and a decrease of exhausted particulate matters when measured particulate matters. Therefore, in this study, we report the measurement of soot primary-particle size using time-resolved laser induced incandescence (TIRE-LII) technique in laminar ethylene diffusion flame. As an optical method, laser induced incandescence is one of well known methods to get information for spatial and temporal soot volume fraction and soot primary particle size. Furthermore, TIRE-LII is able to measure soot primary particle size that is decided to solve the decay ate of signal S $(t_1)$ and S $(t_2)$ at two detection time. In laminar ethylene diffusion flame, visual flame height is 40 mm from burner tip and measurement points are height of 15, 20, 27.5, 30 mm above burner tip along radial direction. As increasing the height of the flame from burne. tip, primary particle size was increased to HAB(Height Above Burner tip)=20mm, and then decreased from HAB=27.5 mm to 30 mm. This results show the growth and oxidation processes for soot particles formed by combustion.

TiO2 fine powder was synthesized in the gas phase by chemical vapor deposition using hydrolysis of TiCl4. Content of rutile phase in the powder was investigated. Powder characteristics such as size, crystallinity and morphology were also studied by means of TEM, SEM and XRD. Rutile phase in TiO2 powder started to be formed from 100$0^{\circ}C$ and the content increased with the reaction temperature and TiCl4 concentration. As the temperature increased from 80$0^{\circ}C$ to 140$0^{\circ}C$, the primary particle size increased while secondary particle size decreased. Spherical secondary particle with fine primary crystals agglomerated was produced at low temperature of 80$0^{\circ}C$ whereas the grown primary particle being final particle size was produced at higher temperature of 140$0^{\circ}C$. Other effects of TiCl4 and H2O partial pressures on particle size were also reported in this study.

Magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) of different sizes were synthesized by solvothermal process maintaining their stoichiometric composition and unique structural phase. Utilizing hydrated ferric (III) chloride as unique iron precursor, it was possible to synthesize sub-micrometric magnetite clusters of sizes in between 208 and 381 nm in controlled manner by controlling the concentration of sodium acetate in the reaction mixture. The sub-micrometer size nanoclusters consist of nanometric primary particles of 19 - 26.3 nm average size. The concentration of sodium acetate in reaction solution seen to control the final size of primary MNPs, and hence the size of sub-micrometric magnetite nanoclusters. All the samples revealed their superparamagnetic behavior with saturation magnetization ($M_s$) values in between 74.3 and 77.4 emu/g. $M_s$. The coercivity of the nanoclusters depends both on the size of the primary particles and impurity present in them. The mechanisms of formation and size control of the MNPs have been discussed.

Microstructural characteristics of hypereutectic Al-Si alloys during reheating at semi-solid temperature have been investigated. The size and morphology of primary Si particles in wedge-type mold-cast ingot has been compared with hot-rolled sheet and Si particulate reinforced Al composite. Effects of P and Sr addition on the morphological changes of primary Si particles have been also investigated. Observation of the solidification microstructures of the wedge-type mold-cast ingot at different cooling rates showed that alloying elements such as P and Sr affect the morphology of Si particles, especially in the area solidified at a slow cooling rate. Negligible change in the size of primary crystals was observed after reheating experiment, but ${\alpha}-halo$ formed around the Si particles and fine particles of Si precipitated in the surrounding area of the Si particles. In addition, there seemed to be no coarsening with increasing of holding time and the region of ${\alpha}-halo$ being decreased. Nucleation and recrystallization was accelerated with addition of alloying elements during hot rolling resulting in a decrease of primary Si particle size. In the case of extruded specimens, morphological change of primary Si particles was not observed after reheating. No ${\alpha}-halo$ formation was observed in Si reinforced Al composite because of the oxide film formed on the Si particles which acted as a diffusion barrier between substrate and the primary Si particles.

In this study, to gain the semi-solid alloy we employed the electromagnetic rotation by a induction motor of 3-phases and 2-poles for Al-7wt%Si alloy and observed the size of primary solid particle, distribution state of primary solid particle, the degree of sphericity, and fraction of primary solid for the evaluation of its results. The size of primary solid particle increases from $98{\mu}m$ to $118{\mu}m$ as solid fraction increases from 0.2 to 0.5. The degree of sphericity increased as the solid fraction increased. Solid particles obtained from the microstructures of isothermally held sample were coarsened and the degree of sphericity was enhanced as isothermal holding time increased. However, when the sample was stirred for more than 40min, solid particles merged together and liquid phase was entrapped within the cluster of solid particles. The size of primary solid particle was not changed significantly with the variation of input voltages by 160V over which solid particles began to merge together to be a large cluster of about $170{\mu}m$ at 180V. The standard deviation and the degree of sphericity were not changed significantly with the variation of input voltage.
