Novel Ni- and Fe-based alloys are developed to impart improved mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The designed alloys are manufactured as a powder and deposited on a steel substrate using a high-velocity oxygen-fuel process. The coating layer demonstrates good corrosion resistance, and the thus-formed passive film is beneficial because of the Cr contained in the alloy system. Furthermore, during low-temperature heat treatment, factors that deteriorate the properties and which may arise during high-temperature heat treatment, are avoided. For the heattreated coating layers, the hardness increases by up to 32% and the corrosion resistance improves. The influence of the heat treatment is investigated through various methods and is considered to enhance the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the coating layer.

The characteristics of the tool system give many effects into the costs and qualities for the finished components. Therefore, a tool life is one of the important issues on cold forging industry. However, since variables related with tool life are many complicated, the studies for solution should be investigated by the systematic research approach. In this study, heat-treatment of tool material is investigated to improve the tool life. Deep cryogenic treatment of tool steel is very efficient to improve the wear resistance due to the fine carbide. And, it is investigated that the shape and dimension of tool give effect into both tool life and quality of forged product.

This was investigated on the major issues and research trends regarding the heat-treatment of woods through literature reviews. The principal heat-treatment technologies utilized for industrial purposes include the Plato-process (Netherlands), the Retification process (France), the OHT-process (Germany), and the Thermowood Process (Finland). Factors that mainly influence the heat-treatment process are the wood species, process temperature, processing time, and the heating medium (air, steam, vacuum, N2, oil, etc.). Researches on investigating the optimal conditions with these process conditions being the variables stand as the mainstream. Heat-treated woods present dimensional stability improvement, but mass loss and strength reduction, a wide variations for decaying inhibition, and insufficient resistance against mold, wood borer, and termites. For further improvement in respects of durability or resistance to biological degradation, necessity to search for more suitable heat treatment process and processing conditions fit for each wood species has been suggested. Exploiting new ways to utilize heat-treated wood and extending its range of use have been considered to be important matters that need more effort put into for the sustainable and sound environment as well as saving the wood resources.

The physicochemical and sensory characteristics of brown rice flakes by different processing conditions such as flaking Process and their heat treatments were investigated to establish the brown rice flake processing procedure. To successfully make the compressed rice grain type flakes, the most appropriate water steeping conditions were 5 hours at 60'C. The brown rice flakes by compressed flaking procedure and heat treatment with microwave toasting showed the best crispiness-texture that tested from textrometer or sensory evaluation, and there was no significant difference between the source of rice varieties. The water absorption index(WAI) of tested flakes were negatively correlated with the water soluble index( WSI) and positively correlated with bowl life. The flakes made by compressed flaking procedure and heat treatment with microwave toasting showed longer bowl life, which is the length of the time that the cereal can retain its crispness after being soaked in milk.

Elimination of the heat treatment process is very important in automation of metal forming since controlling heat treatment by computer has many difficulties and it has bottle neck problem. non-heat-treated steels materials which are not in need of heat treatment have been developed for cold forging. However to apply non-heat-treated steel to structural parts. it is necessary to prove reliability of mechanical properties. In order to define the reliability of mechanical properties we have investigated microstructure, hardness, the tensile strength compressive strength and tensile fatigue strength for both steels. Considering the results of high cycle fatigue test for both specimen the characteristics of non-heat-treated steel are decided on the yield strength, It has same tendency for heat-treated steel. Therefore non-heat-treated steel which has the appropriate yield strength may be applied in cold forging.

$Al_{85}Ni_{10}Y_5$ (at. %) amorphous alloy ribbons have been produced by rapidly solidification process and consolidated by the conventional powder metallurgy method. The grains with ∼90 nm were obtained in the Al85Ni10Y5 alloy extrudates by hot-pressing followed by hot-extusion. To investigate the effect of heat treatment on microstructural change of the extrudates, heat treatment was carried out from 200℃ to 400℃ at the step of 50℃. In addition, mechanical properties of the extrudates were analysed from torsion test at the temperature range or 400∼500℃ under a strain rates of 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0/sec. The extrudates showed a flow stress of ∼190 MPa and low elongation of ∼150% at 400℃, contributing to the enhancement of ductility and hardness for extrudates. Also, grain boundary sliding was occurred in the $Al_{85}Ni_{10}Y_5$ alloy during hot deformation.

Effect of microwave heat-treatment processing on the electrical conductivity and crystallization behavior for the $Li_2O-2SiO_2$-xCuO glasses with various CuO contents was compared with that of conventional heat-treatment processing. The electrical conductivities of samples heat-treated at $500^{\circ}C$ by different heat-treatment processing were increased with increasing CuO content and higher electrical conductivities were obtained from microwave heat-treated samples. From the result of XRD analyses, microwave heat-treatment processing enhanced the degree of crystallization in the formation of $Li_2Si_2O_5, Li_2Cu_5$($Si_2O_7)_2$, and $Li_2Cu_2O_3$ crystalline phases. The electrical conductivities of $Li_2O-2SiO_2$-1.3CuO (30 mol% CuO) glass heat-treated at $500^{\circ}C$ for 30 min under conventional and microwave heat-treatment processing were $0.11{\times}10^{-4}(\Omega \textrm {cm})^{-1}$ and $0.68{\times}10^{-4}(\Omega \textrm {cm})^{-1}$ at room temperature, respectively. It was speculated that microwave energy enhanced the degree of crystallization and increased electrical conductivity in the samples.

Recently many kinds of gears have been produced by forging in order to enhance the mechanical properties of the gears and the productivity of the process. Developments in forging technology are the reason for the increased usage. However, a critical problem of the forged gears is the dimensional change or distortion caused by elastic recovery after forging, and relief of the residual stresses during subsequent heat treatments. Distortion is of great concern to the manufacturers of precision parts, because it influences directly the dimensional accuracy and the grade of carburized bevel gears. In the present paper, distortion due to cold forging and heat treatment of bevel gears is investigated. Distortions of forged gears, machined gears and die are measured and compared. Numerical analysis is used to simulate the complete cold forging process and heat treatment process for the machined gears and shows good agreement with the experimental measurements.

As part of efforts to reduce the weight of automotive body-in-white, a hybrid center pillar with high strength 7075 aluminum alloy (AA7075) sheet and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) has been recently studied. In the fabrication of the AA7075-CFRP hybrid center pillar, the AA7075 sheet might go through heating-forming-in-die quenching (HFQ), artificial aging, hybridizing, and then paint baking processes. In this study, we investigate the effects of the heat treatment history associated with each process on the tensile strength of the AA7075 sheet. Typical heat treatment conditions are HFQ for 20 minutes at 480℃ and then cooling down with die, artificial aging of T6 temper for 24 hours at 120℃, hybridizing for 10 minutes at 150℃, and paint baking for 20 minutes at 180℃. The tensile strength of the AA7075 sheet is continuously increased by a series of heat treatments of hybridizing and paint baking and is expected to have yield stress above 500MPa without artificial aging of T6 temper.
