Ultra-fine grained and high hardened Al sheet was obtained by Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). During this process the microstructure, the hardness and the texture of AA 1050 Al alloy sheet are changed by a severe shear deformation. The plastic strain ratio after the ECAP and subsequent heat-treatment condition has been investigated in this study. It was found that the average r-value of the ECAPed and subsequent heat-treated specimen was 1.7 times higher than those of the initial Al sheet. This could be attributed to the various texture formations through the ECAP and subsequent heat-treatment of AA 1050 Aluminum alloy sheet.

It is proposed that the electromechanical relation of the conductive materials with high electrical resistance may be used to estimate the current stress of prestressing tendons. To choose the best conductive material to this end, we studied the electromechanical relations of carbon fibers and metalic heat wires experimentally. It is found that the relation of carbon fibers can be modelled by a parabolic(or hyperbolic) function in the early stage of deformation. Metallic heat wires show a consistent linear relation during loading and unloading in the elastic deformation and are suitable for this purpose. We propose a new kind of prestressing tendons whose stress can be monitored.

The demand on thermos furnace of Al molten metal has recently been getting higher and higher according to the increase in use of Al and Al alloys. This study considers the estimation of the thermal and mechanical stability in the thermos furnace for Al casting. It is executed through the analysis of heat transfer on the refractory material and heat stress on each steel shell. Also, the estimation of structural stability was appraised through the strength analysis of the lower structure. In result, the temperature of steel shell rose to 320.15K and its elastic deformation was about 1.5mm. The elastic deformation of the lower structure was about 0.66mm. As a result of it, the data obtain from the analysis in this study are regarded as stable value on considering that the size of the furnace is 2500mm.

The deformation behaviors of full annealed and T6 treated 6061, 7075 aluminum tubes are investigated at various temperature performing uniaxial tensile test. Full annealed Al 6061 and Al7075 tubes, and T6 treated Al7075 tube don't show sharp local necking with an elongation of 50% at $300^{\circ}C$. So it is expected that influenced by elevated tempterature. At $300^{\circ}C$ and strain rate of 0.001/s, many micro-cracks are observed in T6 treated Al 6061 tube, which is believed to be responsible for the decrease of total elongation.

Tension variations with heat treatment in shadow mask for flat braun tubes are investigated in this study. In CRT, landing shift of the electron beam due to thermal deformation of the tension mask made the color purity of screen worse. In order to get the final results of thermal deformation, the tensile force within the mask and the welding processes between the rail and the extended mask have to be analysed sequentially. In this study, the effect of heat treatment is studied in terms of tension variations of shadow mask during its manufacturing process.

This study explains the effects of lubricant and surface treatment on hot forging die life. The mechanical and thermal load, and thermal softening which is happened by the high temperature of die, in hot and warm forging, cause die wear, heat checking and plastic deformation, etc. This study is fur the effects of solid lubricants and surface treatment condition for hot forging die. Because cooling effect and low friction are essential to the long life of dies, optimal surface treatment and lubricant are very important to improve die life for hot forging process. The main factors, which affect die hardness and heat transfer, are surface treatments and lubricants, which are related to thermal diffusion coefficient and heat transfer coefficient, etc. For verifying these effects, experiments are performed for hot ring compression test and heat transfer coefficient in various conditions as like different initial billet temperatures and different loads. The effects of lubricant and surface treatment for hot forging die life are explained by their thermal characteristics. The new developed technique in this study for predicting tool life can give more feasible means to improve the tool life in hot forging process.

Heat treatment is a controlled heating and cooling process to improve the physical and/or mechanical properties of metal products without changing their shapes. Today finite element method is widely used to simulate lots of manufacturing processes including heat treatment and surface hardening processes, which aims to reduce the number of time- and cost-consuming experimental tryouts. In this study we tried, using this method, to simulate the full carburizing process that consists of carburizing, diffusing and quenching, and to predict the distribution of carbon contents, phase fraction and hardness, thermal deformation and other mechanical characteristics as the results. In the finite element analysis deformation, heat transfer, phase transformation and diffusion effects are taken into consideration. The carburizing process of a lock gear, a part of the car seat recliner, that is manufactured by the fine blanking process is adopted as the analysis model. The numerical results are discussed and partly compared with experimental data. And a combination of process parameters that is expected to give the highest surface hardness is proposed on the basis of this discussion.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of heat treatments on the martensite transformation and tensile deformation behavior in Ti-Ni-B alloys with various boron concentration. Three types of heat treatment are given to the specimens; i) solution treatment ii) aging iii) thermo-mechanical treatment. In solution treated specimens. R-phase transition which is related to abnormal increase of electrical resistance prior to martensitic transformation has been formed at a boron content of 0.2at % and the $M_s$ temperature has been decreased with the increasing of boron content. However. It has not been affected by aging, while that of thermo-mechanically treated specimens has been remarkably increased in the vicinity of recrystallization temperature. The thermo-mechanically treated specimen has showed a good thermal fatigue characteristics, shape memory effect and superelasticity in comparison with the solution treated specimen.

This paper describes influence of thermal deformation on nosic characteristics in high speed spindle systems. Heat generation in front, rear spindle bearings and built in motor lead to diverse thermal deformation of headstock with time. This deformation changes assemble tolerance in bearing housing, especially to elliptic form. The elliptic assemble tolerance generate high nosie level with dominant amplitude in double rotational frequency.
