The microstructure of medium-carbon non-heat treated steels by air-cooling shows ferritepearlite structure. Compared to the conventional Q/T steels, the strength of these steels containing V, Nb and Ti are similar to Q/T steels. However, their toughness are inferior. In this study, the mechanical properties and microstructures of low-carbon Mo bearing steels produced by direct-quenching process were investigated. Especially, the effect of Mo on the direct-quenched steels was examined. The direct-quenched steels containing Mo were found to have higher strength and toughness. Mo seemed to be effective in producing the fine structure and dense precipitates because of decreasing transformation temperature. The best results were 1211 MPa in UTS and 127.5 J in toughness in the oil quenched 0.15C+O.llV+ 0.035Nb+ 1.81Mo steel. Compared to 0.4% C microalloyed steels, this results showed that UTS increased by 45% and toughness by 2 times.

In this study. we have intended to control the properties of surface reaction zone generated between pure titanium and oxide investment moulds. Commercially pure titanium was centrifugally casted and silica$.$alumina based phosphate bonded investment was used as the mould material. The effect of cooling methods after casting on the surface reaction zone and mechanical properties of casts were investigated. The resulting casts showed the multilayered surface reaction zone regardless of cooling method. Especially. water cooling method produced the titanium casts with thinner surface reaction zone. weaker strength. and higher elongation properties compared to air cooling. It can thus be known that the resulting casts had satisfactory mechanical properties as dental materials. From these results, the cooling rate dependence of interfacial and mechanical properties can be attributed to the diffusion of oxygen from casting environment, which control the reaction of titanium and mould.

The substitution of cooling method from water quenching to air cooling after solution heat treatment was aimed for the development of a convenient and economical heat treatment process of duplex stainless steels without deterioration of mechanical and corrosion resistant properties for the industry. In order to achieve this goal, the mechanical properties and corrosion properties of a ASTM A890-4A duplex stainless steel were systematically investigated as functions of casting condition and cooling method after solution heat treatment. A 3-stepped sand mold and a permanent Y-block mold were used to check the effects of solidification structure and cooling rate after solution heat treatment. The microstructural characteristics such as the ferrite/austenite phase ratio and the precipitation behavior of ${\sigma}$ phase and carbides were investigated by combined analysis of OM and SEM-EDX with an aid of TTT diagram. Hardness and tension test were performed to evaluate the mechanical properties. Impact property at $-40^{\circ}C$ and corrosion resistance were also examined to check the possibility of the industrial application of this basic study. Throughout this investigation, air-cooling method was proved to effectively substitute for water-quenching process after the solution heat treatment, when the duplex stainless steel was sand mold cast with a thickness below 15 mm or permanent mold cast with a thickness below 20 mm.

An Fe$_{49}$ Co$_{49}$ V$_2$alloy is annealed in thermal annealing furnace at 50$0^{\circ}C$, 75$0^{\circ}C$, 80$0^{\circ}C$, and 90$0^{\circ}C$. Annealed samples were cooled in air. The magnetostriction is measured by using a Michelson laser interferometer. Receiving the feedback signal of interference, a mirror attached to piezoelectric transducer (PZT) maintains the optical path length (OPL) between two arms of laser interferometer relatively constant. The feedback voltage is calibrated to the OPL variation. A magnetostriction of 2$\times$10$^{-6}$ at H = 60 Oe increases up to 33.68$\times$10$^{-6}$ at an annealing temperature of 90$0^{\circ}C$, suggesting that the magnetostrictive characteristics are improved by the microstructural modification.

MHz영역에서 사용 가능한 Fe계 연자성 재료를 초미세 결정립으로 제조하기 위해 $Fe_{93}Zr_{3}B_4$ 박막을 기본조성으로 하여 Fe와 비고용이며 약반자성인 Ag 원소를 0, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 at.% 첨가시킨 $Fe_{93-x}Zr_{3}B_{4}Ag_{x}$ 박막을 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링법으로 제조하였다. 그리고, 300-600$^{\circ}C$ 온도 범위에서 1시간동안 열처리한 후 강제공냉법으로 냉각한 후 XRD를 이용하여 열처리 온도 및 Ag 첨가량에 따른 결정상 동정을 조사하였다. Ag가 첨가되지 않은 $Fe_{93}Zr_{3}B_4$ 박막의 경우 $\alpha$-Fe의 (110) 피크만 관찰되었다. Ag가 첨가된 경우에는, Ag의 양이 증가함에 따라 $\alpha$-Fe 결정상의 형성이 억제되고, 비정질형태의 broad한 ${\alpha}-Fe_{(110)}$ 피크와 Ag피크가 관찰되었다. Ag가 첨가된 As-deposited 시편을 열처리 할 경우 박막의 비정질화로 주 peak인 $\alpha$-Fe 피크의 강도가 현저히 낮아지고 상대적으로 Ag peak가 두드러졌다. Ag의 양이 3a/o인 경우는 열처리온도 400$^{\circ}C$이상에서 박막의 결정화로 $\alpha$-Fe Peak가 나타나고 상대적으로 Ag 구성원소의 피크의 강도는 현저하게 낮아졌다 또한. Ag의 양 증가할수록 As-deposited 박막 내에 Ag 구성원소외 피크의 강도는 증가하여 $\alpha$-Fe와 Ag가 서로 비고용 상태로 서로 혼재되어 있었다.

As hypersonic flight speeds and engines efficiencies increase, heat loads on an aircraft and it's engine increase. Because the temperature of the air flow is too high to cool the aircraft structure at hypersonic flight speeds, it is essential to use the aircraft fuel as the primary coolant. Endothermic fuels are liquid hydrocarbon aircraft fuels which are able to absorb the heat loads by undergoing endothermic reactions, such as thermal and catalytic cracking. The endothermic reactions are improved by catalysts which change the extent of reaction and product distribution. At high temperature, liquid hydrocarbons would lead to coke formation that can reduce the effectiveness of heat exchanger and cause rapid degradation of the catalyst, thus endothermic capacity of endothermic fuels is limited to the temperature at which coke doesn't form. In this study, the essential cooling technologies by applying endothermic fuels and the properties of the endothermic fuels are described.

The effects of Sn and Nb content on the characteristics of ${\beta}$ to ${\alpha}$ phase transformation for Zr were studied by optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The basketweave structures consisted of fine ${\alpha}$-laths were shown in all the air-cooled specimens. As the Nb content increased, the ${\beta}{\to}{\alpha}$+${\beta}$ transformation temperature decreased thus allowing the width of ${\alpha}$-lath, however, did not change with Sn content. While water-quenched pure Zr and Zr-xSn alloys were found to be mailny slipped martensite, water-quenched Zr-xNb alloys showed predominantly a twinned martensite. The transition of slipped martensite to twinned martensite was contributed to the decrease of Ms temperature.

In order to investigate the growth behavior of $Y_{2}Ba_{1}Cu_{1}O_{5}$(211) particles in $Y_{1}Ba_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-\delta}$(123), 123 samples were quenched in air after heat treatment on polycrystal and single crystal MgO substrates at $1100^{\circ}C$ for various periods. 211 grains grew with the increase in holding time. The growth of 211 grains was faster on the polycrystal MgO substrate than on the single crystal MgO substrate. In the samples with the compositions of 211+xCuO($0.2\le X \le 0.8$), the growth rate of 211 grains increased with the increase in CuO content. In the sample with x=0.6 the largest 211 grains were observed. 211 grains in the $Y_{2}Ba_{1}Cu_{1.8}Sn_{0.1}O_{5+\delta}$ samples were distributed very finely and homogeneously. The retarding effect of $SnO_2$ addition on the growth of 211 grain appeared more pronounced in a CuO melt than in a $BaCuO_{2}$+ CuO melt.

In an effort to obtain high efficiency in air cooled absorption heat pump, a new working fluid has developed with the addition of $LiNO_3$ and LiCl to the conventional solution of $LiBr-H_2O$. The solubility and vapor pressure of the multicomponent salts solution developed in this work were measured and compared with the results of $LiBr-H_2O$ solution. It was observed that there exists an optimal molar ratio of the inorganic salts in terms of solubility. The molar ratio of LiBr, $LiNO_3$ and LiCl was found to be about 5:1 in the $LiBr-LiNO_3$ mixture, and in the case of $LiBr-LiNO_3-LiCl$ mixture, the molar ratio of LiBr, $LiNO_3$ and LiCl was found to be around 5:1:2. The vapor pressure of the multicomponent salts solution of the optimal molar ratio was increased with adding $LiNO_3$, while decreased with adding LiCl.

The heating load using solar hot water is lower in summer than in the other seasons. This decreased heating load leads to the overheating solar collectors and related components. To prevent overheating of the solar collectors, air cooling and shading shields were used. On the other hand, it requires additional mechanical components, and reduces the system reliability. The geothermal heat dump system to release the high temperature heat (over $150^{\circ}C$) transferred from the heat pipe solar collectors was investigated in the present study. Research on the heat dump to cool the solar collector is rare. Therefore, the present study was carried out to collect possible data of a geothermal heat dump to cool the solar collector. A helical type geothermal heat exchanger was buried at a 1.2m depth. Experimentally and numerically, the geothermal heat dump was investigated in terms of the effects of parameters, such as the quantity of solar radiation, aperture area of the collector and the mass flow rate. A pipe length of 50m on the geothermal heat exchanger was suitable with a 0.33 kg/s flow rate. The water reservoir was a possible co-operation solution linked to the geothermal heat exchanger.
