In this study, effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and damping capacity of hot rolled magnesium alloys was investigated. The microstructure of hot rolled magnesium consisted of dendrite structure and $Mg_{17}Al_{12}$ compounds precipitated along the grain boundry. The dendrite structure was dissipated and $Mg_{17}Al_{12}$ compounds was decomposed by annealing treatment, and then they dissolved in ${\alpha}-Mg$. With an increasing the annealing temperature and time, damping capacity was slowly increased by the growth of grain size and decreasing of defects induced by hot rolling. Two kinds of magnesium alloys AZ 31 and AZ 61 after annealing showed no difference in damping capacity.

We investigated the interfacial reactions between the $Y_2O_3$ film deposited by ICB processing and p-type (100) Si substrates upon annealing treatments in $O_2$ and Ar gas ambients. we also investigated the evolution of surface morphology of ICB deposited $Y_2O_3$ films upon annealing treatments. We observed that the root-mean-square(RMS) value of surface roughness measured by AFM increased with annealing time at $800^{\circ}C$ in $O_2$ ambient, while the change of surface roughness was not observed in Ar ambient. We also found the growth of $SiO_2$ layer and the formation of yttium silicate layer. From the capacitance values $(C_{acc})$ measured by C-V measurements, the relative didldctric constant of $Y_2O_3$ film in metal-insulator-semiconductor(MIS) structure was estimated to be about 9.

The deformation and annealing behaviors of a 1050 Al alloy deformed at cryogenic temperature were investigated, focusing on the evolution of microstructures and mechanical properties. Especially, the effects of annealing temperature, $150~300^{\circ}C$, on microstructures and mechanical properties of the sheets received reduction of 88% at cryogenic temperature were investigated. The significant change in mechanical properties with the annealing temperatures of $200~300^{\circ}C$ would be attributed to the variations in the volume fraction of recrystallized grains and coarse equiaxed grains.

Cds films were deposited on glass substrates using rf magnetron sputtering method followed by rapid thermal annealing(RTA). Effects of annealing temperature on surface characteristic, structural, electrical and optical property of CdS films were investigated at different temperatures ranging from 250 to $550^{\circ}C$ with various holding time. The film annealed at $450^{\circ}C$ with less than 1 min holding time is attributed to the improved crystalline quality of CdS film due to the effective relaxation of residual compressive stress and achieving maximum grain size. The results show that RTA treatments under optimal annealing condition can provide significant improvements in the properties of CdS films.

This paper is designed to estimate friction and powdering characteristic of coating layer on galvannealed sheet steel with different annealing temperature, which is 465, 505, 515 and $540^{\circ}C$. Estimations of powdering and friction were done using a $60^{\circ}$ bending test and one side friction test, respectively. In order to obviously understand the effect of coatings on friction cross-section of coatings before and after friction test was also observed by SEM. The results show that powdering of coatings is increased with increasing of annealing temperature and that friction characteristic greatly depends on powdering which leads to increase of real contact area between tools and coatings.

Tube hydroforming provides a number of advantages over conventional stamping process, including fewer secondary operation, weight reduction, assembly simplification, adaptability to forming of complex structural components and improved structural strength and stiffness. It can produce wide range of products such as subframe, engine cradle, and exhaust manifold. In this study, the effect of the heat treatment conditions such as post seam annealing (PSA) and bright annealing (BA) on the ovality and hydro-formability of steel tubes has been investigated. Hydroformabilities have been estimated by the bulging heights obtained at various processing parameters such as internal pressure, axial feeding and heat treatment conditions. The ovality and forming height are strongly influenced by material properties after heat treatments.

A heat-treatment method of pre-annealing and then flash annealing(FA) has been used to improve the soft magnetic properties of nanocrystalline $Fe_{76}CuSi_{13}B_{10}$ and $Fe_{74}CuNb_{3}Si_{12}B_{10}$ alloys. Outstanding magnetic properties of nanocrystalline $Fe_{74}CuNb_{3}Si_{12}B_{10}$ alloy were attained by flash-annealing in air after annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ for 0.5hr below the crystallization temperature. The same results were obtained for $Fe_{74}CuSi_{13}B_{10}$ alloy. The measurment of relief of stress and X-ray diffraction were used to analyze the effect of flashannealing.

The outcomes of solution annealing and stress corrosion cracking in cold-worked 316L austenitic stainless steel have been studied using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and the slow strain rate test (SSRT) technique. The good compatibility with a high-temperature water environment allows 316L austenitic stainless steel to be widely adopted as an internal structural material in light water reactors. However, stress corrosion cracking (SCC) has recently been highlighted in the stainless steels used in commercial pressurized water reactor (PWR) plants. In this paper, SCC and inter granular cracking (IGC) are discussed on the basis of solution annealing in a chloride environment. It was found that the martensitic contents of cold-worked 316L stainless steel decreased as the solution annealing time was increased at a high temperature. Moreover, mode of SCC was closely related to use of a chloride environment. The results here provide evidence of the vital role of a chloride environment during the SCC of cold-worked 316L.

Placement is a very important step in the VLSI physical design process. It is the problem of placing circuit modules to optimize the circuit performance and reliability of the circuit. It is used at the layout level to find strongly connected components that can be placed together in order to minimize the layout area and propagation delay. The most popular algorithms for circuit placement include the cluster growth, simulated annealing, integer linear programming and genetic algorithm. In this paper we propose a adapted genetic algorithm searching solution space for the placement problem, and then compare it with simulated annealing and genetic algorithm by analyzing the results of each implementation. As a result, it was found that the adaptive genetic algorithm approaches the optimal solution more effectively than the simulated annealing and genetic algorithm.

Transparent conducting ZnO/Ti/ZnO tri-layer films deposited on glass substrate with DC and RF magnetron sputtering were rapid thermal annealed at 150, 300 and 450℃ for 5 minutes and then effect of annealing temperature on the structural and optoelectronics properties of the films were investigated. The structural properties are strongly related to annealing temperature and the largest grain size is observed in the films annealed at 450℃. The electrical resistivity also decreases as low as 7.7 × 10^-4 Ωcm. The visible transmittance also depends on the annealing temperature. The films annealed at 450℃ show a higher transmittance of 80.6% in this study.
