To study the dynamic strain aging behavior of Zr-0.4Sn-1.5Nb-0.2Fe sample tube for nuclear fuel cladding in the range of pressurized water reactor (PWR) operation temperature, the tensile tests of the tube specimens, which had been finally heat-treated at $470^{\circ}C\;and\;510^{\circ}C$, had been carried out with the strain rate $1.67{\times}10^{-2}/s\;and\;8.33{\times}10^{-5}/s$ at the various temperatures from room temperature to $500^{\circ}C$. It was observed that the elongation of the specimens got shortened as the temperature increased from $200^{\circ}C\;to\;340^{\circ}C$. The specimens that were finally heat-treated at $470^{\circ}C$ showed a plateau more remarkably on the plot of yield strength-temperature than those heat-treated at $510^{\circ}C$. In the range of $310\sim400^{\circ}C$, the strain rate sensitivity of the specimens finally heat-treated at $510^{\circ}C$ was $30.4\%\sim33.7\%$ lower but the work hardening exponent index of the specimens was a little higher than that without dynamic strain aging effect.

A polyacrylonitrile(PAN)-based carbon fiber tow was heat-treated by directly passing electric current through the tow. The effects of the stretching stress applied during high temperature heat-treatment of PAN-based carbon fibers were investigated by measuring the electric resistance changes taking place during the internal resistance heating. The structure parameters characterizing the stacks of carbon layer, such as interlayer spacing, sizes and orientation of the carbon fibers heat-treated with hot-stretching were evaluated as a function of surface temperature of tow during heat treatment in the range of $1000~2400^{\circ}C$. Though the layer extent in the fiber axis direction depends strongly on the electric resistance, the changes in a crystallite parameter is independent of the longitudinal strain.

This study deals with the characteristics of degraded stainless steel. Stainless steel is heat treated to ensure mechanical properties when designing or manufacturing machinery parts or equipment. In this study, the mechanical properties and wear characteristics of three kinds of stainless steels after artificially heat-treated at 753 K~993 K, where chrome depletion occurs near the grain boundary, were evaluated. The microstructure and fracture surface were also observed. From the results, friction coefficient and wear loss decreased with increasing the heat treatment temperature regardless of the type of stainless steel. Also, as the tensile strength increased, the friction coefficient and wear loss decreased. Wear loss showed proportional to a tendency to increase with increasing friction coefficient.

ZTO/n-Si thin film is produced to investigate tunneling phenomena by interface characteristics by the depletion layer. For diversity of the depletion layer, the thin film of ZTO is heat treated after deposition, and the gpolarization is found to change depending on the heat treatment temperature and capacitance. The higher the heat treatment temperature is, the higher the capacitance is, because more charges are formed, the highest at $150^{\circ}C$. The capacitance decreases at $200^{\circ}C$ ZTO heat treated at $150^{\circ}C$ shows tunneling phenomena, with low non-resistance and reduced charge concentration. When the carrier concentration is low and the resistance is low, the depletion layer has an increased potential barrier, which results in a tunneling phenomenon, which results in an increase in current. However, the ZTO thin film with high charge or high resistance shows a Schottky junction feature. The reason for the great capacitance increase is the increased current due to tunneling in the depletion layer.

This study aims to investigate the effects of tungsten additions on the microstructure, corrosion characteristics, and hardness of super duplex stainless steel heat-treated at two different annealing temperatures. Under the annealing temperature of 1100℃, the microstructure of the stainless steels consisted mainly of ferrite, while under the annealing temperature of 1000℃, significant amounts of austenite and secondary phases were also observed. In terms of corrosion characteristics in 3.5 wt%NaCl solution, there was not a significant difference due to W addition at the 1100℃ conditions. However, at the 1000℃, a tendency of decreased corrosion resistance was observed with increasing the tungsten content. On the other hand, the micro-hardness of the stainless steel heat-treated 1000℃ showed an increasing trend with tungsten addition. This increase can be mainly attributed to the higher fraction of secondary phases, primarily sigma, known for their high hardness.

We have fabricated double stacked 385 filamentary Bi2212/Ag round wires which have different Ag ratios. The wires have been heat-treated at the maximum temperature($T_{max}$) of $882{\sim}896^{\circ}C$ for 0.5 h. Effect of heat treatment on critical current density and critical temperature on Bi2212/Ag round wires has been studied. Critical current density of the wire heat -treated at $890^{\circ}C$ showed 206,250 $A/cm^2$ at 4.2 K, 0 T and critical temperature of the wire was 83 K. Microstructure of the wires also has been studied via optical microscopy and SEM.

Segregation during solidification and homogenization during thermal exposure in GTD 111 were investigated. The microstructures of as-cast, standard heat-treated, and thermally exposed specimens were observed by SEM. A compositional analysis of each specimen was conducted by EDS. The dendrite core was enriched in W and Co, though lower levels of Ti and Ta were observed. An unexpected phase, in this case like the ${\eta}$ phase, was observed due to segregation near the ${\gamma}-{\gamma}^{\prime}$ eutectic in the standard heat-treated specimen. Segregation also induced microstructural evolution near the ${\gamma}-{\gamma}^{\prime}$ eutectic during the standard heat treatment. A quantitative analysis and microstructural observations showed that the thermal exposure at a high temperature enhanced the chemical homogeneity of the alloy.

The relationship between the properties of two kinds of calcined cokes and graphitized forming bodies were examined. The microstructures of the forming bodies are already determined to some degree at the stage of baking. Calcined cokes as well as baked forming bodies using the same coke as filler were heat treated at various temperatures and their structural and properties changes with heat treated temperature were studied. The transition in properties changes with heat treatment in forming bodies were observed around $2000^{\circ}C$. The characteristics of the finial graphite bodies are strongly dependent on the properties of the raw material cokes.

To improve the properties of non-waxy rice flours for baking, soaked-wet milled rice flour (SWRF) was adjusted moisture content (MC) to 30 and 50 % and heated at 50 and $70^{\circ}C$ in a shaking water bath for 6 and 18 hrs, respectively. Moisture-heat treated rice flours were investigated with regard to particle size distribution, and morphological, physicochemical and pasting properties for comparing dry and wet milled flours. The particle size of rice flour treated with 30% MC was distributed between $4-20{\mu}m\;and\;100-200{\mu}m$, like SWRF. The particles above $200{\mu}m$ in the flour were produced at higher heating temperature. By SEM, starch granules were found in the rice flours treated with 30% MC, who whereas aggregated starch granules were shown in the flours treated with 50% MC. Moisture-heat treatment using higher MC and heating temperature decreased the lightness and increased the yellowness of non-waxy rice flours. Water binding capacity of 30% moisture treated rice flour was similar to that of SWRF. In the same moisture treated rice flour, swelling power was higher, but solubility was lower at $50^{\circ}C$ than at $70^{\circ}C$. The initial pasting temperature by RVA increased after moisture-heat treatment. The peak viscosity of moisture-heat treated rice flour was higher for 30% moisture than that of the others. The rice flour treated with 30% MC and heated at $50^{\circ}C$ showed low setback and increased stability for retrogradation.

The effect of shot peening conditions on the fatigue properties of heat-treated spring steel has been investigated by using residual stress measurement and metallography. The mechanical properties of material did not change so much by shot peening. However, the fatigue strength and fatigue life increased about 20% to 40% by 1-step and 2-step shot peening process. The fatigue strength and life were closely related to the value and position of maximum compressive residual stress by shot peening process. In the case of warm shot peening, compressive residual stress of specimens shot peening processed at $200^{\circ}C$ was higher than those of specimens shot peening processed at room temperature, $100^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$.
