The effects of annealing temperature and time on mechanical properties and microstructures were investigated in cold drawn pearlitic steel wires. During annealing, the increment of the tensile strength at low temperatures found to be due to age hardening, while the decrease in the tensile strength at high temperatures was attributed to age softening, involving the spheroidization of lamellar cementite and recovery of lamellar ferrite. Since tensile strength and the occurrence of the delamination would be closely related to the dissolution of cementite, the lower annealing temperature and the increase of drawing strain caused the higher tensile strength and the easier occurrence of the delamination in cold drawn pearlitic steel wires.

This paper investigated how Fine Fly Ash (FFA) with $14,000\;cm^2/g$ of Fineness affects the micro structure and material properties of High-Performance Concrete (HPC) before and after hardening from Material Test of HPC and Cement Paste. FFA is applied as a substitute of Silica Fume which is used necessarily in producing HPC. As a Material Test results, 5% FFA series specimen shows the lower fluidity than SF series specimen. When, however, the Fluidity of 10% FFA series specimen is increased reversely to the similar value of SF series specimen. The Porosity of FFA series specimen of 3 day age is displayed to $21{\sim}24%$, which is higher than $19{\sim}20%$ porosity of SF series specimen, while that of 28 day age is reached to $8{\sim}9%$, which is improved compared with 10% fo SF series specimen. It can be thought that FFA has better influence on the porosity of HPC in case of long term age. The Compressive strength of FFA series specimen shows the similar result with the property of porosity. The compressive strength of 28 day age FFA series specimen is $98{\sim}106%$ of SF series specimen and 107% of plain specimen to reveal better strength development.

For high performance concrete, due to its low water cement ratio (water binder ratio) and addition of mineral admixtures, pretty high autogenous shrinkage and thermal deformation occur at very early age of casting (especially before hardening). This may lead to early age cracking of HPC structures, and then may influence the durability of HPC. This paper has monitored the early age properties of HPC successfully by embedded FBG strain sensor. The results showed that the deformation increased rapidly within the first day after HPC casting. And its value is up to $85{\mu}{\varepsilon}$, which is the 30% of two-month deformation ($280{\mu}{\varepsilon}$). Considering the durability and permeability of HPC, the first-day deformation is pretty high and can not be neglected. Also the superior capability of FBG sensors such as continuity, stability and multiplexed technique etc, has been demonstrated.

The physical property and phase transformation in a commercial dental casting high gold alloy was investigated as a function of ageing temperature and time using microvickers hardness tester, X-ray diffraction, optical and electron microscopy and EPMA analyser. 1. With increasing ageing time, the hardness of solution-treated gold alloys increased slowly at the initial stage of ageing treatment at an ageing temperature of $300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$, and it reached a maximum value of hardness at the medium stage. Finally, it decreased gradually during further ageing. The maximum value of hardness at was similar with that of the conventional materials and suitable for using as the crown & bridge. 2. During isothermal ageing at a temperature range of $300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$, three phases consisting of the Au-rich ${\alpha}_1$phase with a face-centered cubic structure, the Pt3Zn ${\alpha}_2$phase with an ordered AuCu3(L12) type(f.c.c.) and the Pt-rich ${\alpha}_3$phase with face-centered cubic structure in solution-treated gold alloys were transformed into different three phases consisting of the ${\alpha}_1$phase, the ${\alpha}_3$phase and the PtZn $\beta$phase with an ordered AuCu I(L10) type. 3. The hardening of gold alloys was attributed to the lattice strains of the matrix resulting from the transformation of the ${\alpha}_2$phase to the $\beta$phase. 4. The softening of gold alloys during over-ageing was attributed to the coarsening of the nodules consisting of the $\beta$phase and ${\alpha}_1$matrix.

Structural studies have been performed on precipitation hardening discovered in $L1_2-ordered\;Ni_3(Al,Cr)$ containing 0.2 to 3.0 mol% of carbon using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Fine octahedral precipitates of $M_{23}C_6$ appeared in the matrix by aging at temperatures around 973 K after solution treatment at 1423 K. TEM examination revealed that the $M_{23}C_6$ phase and the matrix lattices have a cube-cube orientation relationship and keep partial atomic matching at the {111} interface. After prolonged aging or by aging at higher temperatures, the $M_{23}C_6$ precipitates then adopt a rod-like morphology elongated parallel to the <100> directions. Deformation at temperature below 973 K, typical Orowan loops were observed surrounding the $M_{23}C_6$ particles. At higher deformation temperatures, the Orowan loops disappeared and the morphology of dislocations at the particle-matrix interfaces suggested the existence of attractive interaction between dislocations and particles. The change of the interaction modes between dislocation and particles with increasing deformation temperature can be considered as a result of strain relaxation at the interface between matrix and particles.

The precipitates of $L2_1$-type $Ni_2AlHf$ phase in B2-ordered NiAl system has been observed by using transmission electron microscope (TEM). The hardness of as-quenched NiAl-Hf alloys is high due to the larger strengthening. However, age hardening of this alloy is not main effect to increase hardness compared to the large microstructural variations during aging. At the beginning of aging, the $L2_1$-type $Ni_2AlHf$ precipitates keep a lattice coherency with the NiAl matrix. The orientation relationship between the $Ni_2 AlHf$ precipitate and the NiAl matrix is <100>$_{Ni2AlHf}$//<100>$_{NiAl}$, {001}$_{Ni2AlHf}$//{001}$_{NiAl}$. By aging treatment for long time $Ni_2AlHf$ precipitates lost their coherency and change their morphology to the spherical ones surrounded by misfit dislocations. The orientation relationship between the NiAl matrix and the $Ni_2AlHf$ precipitates, however, has been kept even after longer aging time. The lattice misfit between the $Ni_2AlHf$ precipitate and the NiAl matrix has been calculated by the selected electron diffraction patterns, and the spacings of misfit dislocations is about 4.5% at 1173 K.

등온자비 AuCu에 2.4, 4.3, 6.1at% Zn이 첨가된 합금의 시효경화거동과 상변태를 조사하였다. AuCu l형이 단독으로 존재하는 경우는 경도가 시효초기에 급격히 상승한 후 저하하였고, Zn 첨가량의 증가에 따라 규칙-불규칙 전이온도(Tc)가 약간 하강하였지만, AuCu l형+AuCu ll형의 공존영역의 온도는 훨씬 낮아졌다.

알루미늄-4%동 계에서의 ${\theta}$ 및 ${\theta}'$ 석출물과 석출물/기지 계면 전위를 투과전자현미경상으로 관찰하고 콘트라스트 실험 및 석출물 분석으로 석출물/기지 계면의 정합성과 여러 전위들의 Burgers 벡타를 규명하였다. 실험 결과, 변형장은 정벽면에 수직으로 되어 있고, 판상의 ${\theta}'$ 석출물은 {100}형 정벽면을 지니고 있었다. ${\theta}'$판 주위의 전위는 정벽면에 수직인 Burgers 벡타를 지닌 칼날전위였다. 그리고, 석출물과 기지 사이의 접합변형을 작게하기 위한 계면전위의 Burgers 벡타는 a<100>과 a/2<100>형이었다. 또한 Hornbogen의 예견과 일치하는 사실로, ${\theta}'$의 석출물의 끝부분에서 ${\theta}$상이 핵생성을 하는 사실을 발견하였다.
