As a measure of improving the mechanical properties of a diffusion bonded joint of a ferritic/martensitic steel (FMS), the post-bonding heat treatment (PBHT) is applied. In the temperature range of normalizing condition ($950-1,050^{\circ}C$), diffusion bonding is employed with compressive stress (6 MPa). Due to the martensite structure distributed in the matrix, Vicker's hardness values of the as-bonded are much higher than those of the as-received. Through the PBHT for 1 h at $720^{\circ}C$, hardness values are recovered to as low as those of the as-received condition. Also, tensile properties of PBHT are similar to those of the as-received at up to the test temperature of $550^{\circ}C$, when the diffusion bonding is carried out over $1,000^{\circ}C$. Based on the creep-rupture testing performed at $650^{\circ}C$ in air environment, the joint efficiency of the PBHTed specimens is about 80% in, which is higher than that of the as-bonded specimens.

In this study the effect of vitamin C administration on pregnancy rates during summer heat stress in dairy cows was examined. A total of 80 Holstein-Friesian cows were divided into control and treatment groups (n = 40 each). Control group animals were given 10 mL isotonic normal saline, and treatment group, Vitamin C (4 mg/kg) on artificial insemination day (day 0) and 4^th, 8^th and 12^th day post insemination. Pregnancy diagnosis was performed on 30^th day post insemination by ultrasonography. Blood samples were randomly taken from 11 animals from each group. Serum P₄, GSH, MDA and plasma 8-OHdG levels were determined by using ELISA method. Results showed that 8-OHdG levels were lower in treatment group on day 4, 8 and 12 (p < 0.05) compared with the control group. Similarly, pregnancy rate was higher in treatment group (32.5%) than control (22.5%), respectively. However, MDA, P₄ and GSH levels were similar in both groups at 4^th, 8^th and 12^th day. A gradual increase in P₄, and MDA levels, and a strong positive correlation between 0, 4^th (r = 0.54), 4, 8^th (r = 0.59) and 8, 12^th (r = 0.51) day was found. Similarly, GSH levels also showed positive correlation at days 0, 4^th (r = 0.47) and 4, 8^th (r = 0.56). However, a strong negative correlation (r = -0.56) between MDA day 0, and GSH day 8 was found. In conclusion, vitamin C application during insemination period in postpartum cows increases pregnancy rate, and reduces oxidative stress metabolite 8-OHdG levels.

In this study, in the selection of materials for the elements of a small plant, those with high resistance to corrosion are selected and the material properties of coatings for corrosion prevention are evaluated. In addition, corrosion characteristics and material analysis were performed on the welded part, and the hardness characteristics of the welded part, heat-affected part, and the base metal were evaluated. In the case of the post-weld-heat-treated(PWHT) specimen, the corrosion resistance of STS 316 was lower than that of the specimen without the PWHT due to the formation of intergranular carbide. As a result of evaluating the distribution of the hardness of the weld before and after the PWHT, the hardness of the specimen after the PWHT increased by about 20 Hv. As a result of the corrosion test on the welded specimen, the weight loss tended to increase as the time increased. In the case of the PWHT specimen, the corrosion resistance tended to be significantly lower than that of the specimen without PWHT due to the formation of intergranular carbide.

A complete control on quarantine insect pests is required for exporting domestic apples to other countries. To this end, a controlled atmosphere and heat treatment system (CATTS) has been developed as a post-harvest treatment. This study determined the CATTS conditions to control completely two lepidopteran insect pests, the smaller tea tortrix moth, Adoxophyes paraorana and the peach pyralid moth, Dichocrocis punctiferalis, which exhibit different feeding behviors. In both species, the fifth instar larvae were the most tolerant developmental stage to the heat treatment. Under CATTS conditions with 15% $CO_2$ and 1% $O_2$ for 1 h heat treatment at $46^{\circ}C$, the fifth instar larvae of A. paraorana exhibited a complete lethality, while those of D. punctiferalis underwent 88% mortality. To control completely the fifth instar larvae of D. punctiferalis, 2 h heat treatment required under the same atmosphere condition. These CATTS treatment effects were confirmed against over 3,000 fifth instar larvae of each species infesting apples. This study demonstrates that the longer exposure to CATTS conditions is required for the complete disinfestation of the internal apple feeder compared to the non-internal apple feeder.

Post weld heat treatment (PWHT) is carried out to increase the fracture toughness in heat affected zone(HAZ) and remove the residual stress. There occur some problems such as toughness decreement and stress relief cracking(SRC) in the coarse grained HAZ subjected to the effect of tempering treatment. Especially, embitterment of structure directly relates to the mode of fracture and is appeared as the difference of fracture surface, that is, grain boundary failure. Therefore, in this paper, PWHT was carried out under the stress of 0, 10, 20 and $30kg/cm^2$ to simulate residual stress in HAZ welded by heat input of 10, 30 and 40KJ/cm. Applied stress in weld HAZ during PWHT assisted precipitin of over saturated alloying element in the structure, and grain boundary failure according to welding heat input didn't almost appear at the heat input of 10 KJ/cm, but it appeared from being the applied stress of $30kg/cm^2$ at $30KJ/cm and 20kg/mm^2$ at 40KJ/cm.

In this study, dissimilar friction welding were produced using 15mm diameter solid bar in chrome molybedenum steel(SCM440) to carbon steel(S45C) to investigate their mechanical properties and the relationship between the weld parameters and the nondestructive coefficients, such as AE counts and ultrasonic attenuation coefficient. The main friction welding parameters were selected to endure good quality welds on the basis of visual examination, tensile tests, Vickers hardness surveys of the bond of area and heat affected zone. The specimens were tested as-welded and post weld heat treated(PWHT). The tensile strength of the friction welded steel bars was increased up to 100％ of the S45C base metal under the condition of all heating time. The ductility of PWHT specimens is higher than as-welded.

Phase stability of tetragonal crystals in yttria-stabilized zirconia ceramics is dependent on the content of yttria and the heat-treatment condition, related with mechanical properties. In this study, we fabricated the 1.5 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (1.5Y-YSZ) ceramics by cold isostatic pressing (CIP) and post-sintering at temperature range of 1200 to 1350℃ for 2 hours and investigated the sintered properties and microstructural evolution. Sintered and microstructural parameters, i.e, apparent density, grain size and phase composition of 1.5Y-YSZ ceramics were mainly dependent on the sintering temperature. Maximum sintered density of 99.4 % and average grain size of 200-300 nm could be obtained from the heat-treatment condition above sintering temperature at 1300℃ for 2 hours, possessing the superior mechanical hardness with 1200 Hv. However, phase stability of tetragonal grains in 1.5 YSZ ceramics is very low, inducing the phase transformation to monoclinic crystals on specimen surface during cooling after heat-treatment.

The combination dyeing have been attempted to get the various color. The objective of this research was to study the color developing effects on cotton fabrics dyed with persimmon, catechu and combination of the both by heat treatment process. These dye were applied on bleached cotton fabrics for the dyeing before post mordanting with aluminium potassium sulfate, copper sulfate, and iron sulfate. The various color changes on cotton fabric were measured by color spectrophotometer. The heat treatment of temperature around $150^{\circ}C$ for an hour can reach the highest color developing. The dyed fabrics with mordanting were heated for specific time period, which was compared without the mordanting. The post mordanted fabrics showed that more various colors can be obtained using combination dyeing. K/S values of dyed fabrics with Al, Fe, and Cu mordants were higher than the cases without mordants. The Cu mordanted fabric showed very effective color developing by the heating process. The fabrics dyed with catechu lowered L* value with little changes in a* and b* values, while the a* and b* values became higher with heat treatment. The fabrics dyed with persimmon has the lowest L* value and more changes in a*, b* value with heating process. Therefore, K/S values can be increased effectively by the combination dyeing of persimmon and catechu. Colorfastness to washing in color change was grade 2-3 in non-mordanted fabric, and grade 3 in mordanted fabric. Lightfastness of the dyed fabrics was above grade 4.

The objective of this study is to propose a method to prevent the possible stress corrosion cracking of a horizontal side-wall sprinkler head deflector in the same atmosphere of ammonia gas as it regulated in the UL (Underwriters Laboratory). A corrosion test is carried out for three types of specimen according to post-forming treatment, one of which is annealing, another sand blasting and the other no treatment. The observation of the test specimens with a metal micro-scope says that the tensile residual stress is a major factor causing corrosion cracking, and that a proper heat treatment can remove or reduce the residial stress and prevent a crack from occurring even in a severe corrosive atmosphers.
