Theoretical efforts were taken to investigate an optimum heat treatment process in martensitic stainlesssteel. The approach is based on the combination of the interpolation and extrapolation method of a standard heat treatment technology with the principle of quenching and tempering temperature difference. The relationship of macroscopic structure and fracture toughness and ductility as well as the Hardness and strength has been focused to induce a simple rule to apply with feasibility. As a result it was found that the grain size influences to the fracture toughness and ductility significantly.

The analysis of temperature distribution and change of metallic structures during water quench were presented by finite element method. In temperature calculation the equation of unsteady state hear conduction problem considering latent heat due to phase transformation was applied to finite solid cylinder, SM 45C of 40mm diameter and 40mm height. In metallic structure analysis iso-thermal transformation curve and the equations of evolution in pearlite-martensite transformation were applied. The calculated results upon temperature and metallic structures were agreed with those of experimental observations.

The structure and properties of HSLA steel obtained by Osprey forming process were investigated. The porosities were generated at the bottom of specimen due to the quenching effect of cold substrate during forming. The steel had a bainitic structure. The grain size were different among positions due to the cooling rates. The elements such as Mn, S, Si, Cr, Mo and etc. were contained in inclusions. They were formed at grain boundries. The size of them was $1{\sim}2{\mu}m$ and has nothing to do with the chemical composition. MnS and NbC were precipitated during rolling and aging.

Induction hardening increases hardness near the surface where it's most needed, and leaves the surface in compression which improves fatigue life. Although case depth and chemical composition are same, the structure of induction hardened shaft affects the fatigue strength and life because of austenization during hardening. Therefore torsional fatigue tests of specimens from various structures, which are obtained by nomalizing, spheriodized annealing and tempering after quenching, were conducted on induction hardened automotive drive shafts with various case depths and loads applied in order to evalute the relation between structure and fatigue strength.

The object of the research is to estimate for pearlite structure of quenched carbon steels. The effects of temperature on physical properties metallic structures and the latent heat by phase transformation were considered. In this study a set of constitutive equations relevant to the analysis of thermo-elasto plastic materials with pearlite phase transformation during quenching process way presented on the basis of continuum thermo-dynamics. The iso-thermal transformation curve of the SM50C was formlated by cubic spline curve. The formulated equations of evolution in pearlite transformation was used for structure analysis. The volume fraction of pearlite was obtained from the results of calculated metallic structure by Finite element equation.

A premixed flame propagating in a tube suffers strong variation in its shape and structure depending on boundary conditions. The effects of thermal boundary conditions and flow fields on flame propagation are numerically investigated. Navier-Stokes equations and species equations are solved with a one-step irreversible global reaction model of methane-air mixture. Finite volume method using an adaptive grid method is applied to investigate the flame structure. In the case of an adiabatic wall, friction force on the wall significantly affected the flame structure while in the case of an isothermal wall, local quenching near the wall dominated flame shapes and propagation. In both cases, variations of flow fields occurred not only in the near field of the flame but also within the flame itself, which affected propagation velocities. This study provides an overview of the characteristics of flames in small tubes at a steady state.

A novel $Ce^{3+}$ doped $Lu_3MgAl_3SiO_{12}$ phosphor ($Lu_{2.94}Ce_{0.06}MgAl_3SiO_{12}$) was successfully synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction at $1450^{\circ}C$ for 5 h. The crystal structure of the synthesized phosphor powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement. The prepared phosphor powder showed a broad peak at 550 nm, and the temperature dependence on photoluminescence properties of the prepared $Lu_{2.94}Ce_{0.06}MgAl_3SiO_{12}$ phosphor was investigated from 300 to 525 K. The activation energy for thermal quenching was determined by Arrhenius fitting. The experimental results clearly indicate that prepared $Lu_{2.94}Ce_{0.06}MgAl_3SiO_{12}$ phosphor has great potential for a down-conversion yellow phosphor in white light-emitting diodes.

The biological evaluation of a new synthesized Pt(II)-complex, 2,2'-bipyridin Butylglycinato Pt(II) nitrate, an anti-tumor component, was studied at different temperatures by fluorescence and far UV circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic methods. Human serum albumin (HSA) and human tumor cell line K562 were as targets. The Pt(II)-complex has a strong ability to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA. Binding and thermodynamic parameters of the interaction were calculated by fluorescence quenching method. Far-UV-CD results showed that Pt(II)-complex induced increasing in content of $\alpha$ helical structure of the protein and stabilized it. The 50% cytotoxic concentration ($Cc_{50}$) of complex was determined using MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay at different incubation times. Also, fluorescence staining with DAPI (4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) revealed some typical nuclear changes, which are characteristic of apoptosis. Above results suggest that Pt (II) complex is a promising anti-proliferative agent and should execute its biological effects by inducing apoptosis.

The microstructure of a high-carbon and high-chromium cast steel (HK700) for cold-work die inserts was analyzed by advanced scanning electron microscopy. A continuous network of primary $M_7C_3$ carbide was developed among austenitic matrix after casting. A small amount of $M_2C$ was added to the carbide network owing to the enrichment of Mo and W during the solidification. After quenching in which the austenitization was performed at $1030^{\circ}C$ and double tempering at $520^{\circ}C$, the network structure of $M_7C_3$ was preserved while most of the matrix was transformed to martensite because of additional carbide precipitation. The $M_2C$ in the as-cast microstructure was also transformed to $M_6C$ due to its instability. The continuous network of coarse carbides owing to the absence of hot-working had little influence on the hardness after quenching and tempering, whereas it resulted in severe brittleness upon flexural loading.

Selective quenching of 1, 6-diphenyl-1, 3, 5-hexatriene (DPH) by trinitrophenyl groups was utilized to examine the transbilayer fluidity asymmetry of model membranes of phospholipids (SPMVPL) extracted from synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles (SPMV). The polarization (P), anisotropy (r), limiting anisotropy $(r_\infty$), and order parameter (S) of DPH in the inner monolayer were 0.019, 0.014, 0.018, and 0.047, respectively, greater than calculated for the outer monolayer of SPMVPL. Selective quenching of DPH by trinitrophenyl groups was also utilized to examine the effects of n-alkanols on the individual monolayer structure of SPMVPL. n-Alkanols fluidized the hydrocarbon region of bulk SPMVPL and the potencies of n-alkanols up to 1-nonanon increased with carbon chain length. It appears that the potencies in bilayer fluidization increase by 1 order of magnitude as the carbon chain length increases by two carbon atoms. The cut-off phenomenon was reached at 1-decanol, where further increase in hydrocarbon length resulted in a decrease in pharmacological activity. The n-alkanols had greater fluidizing effects on the outer monolayer as compared to the inner monolayer of SPMVPL, even though these selective effects tended to become weaker as the carbon chain length increased. Thus, it has been proven that n-alkanols exhibit selective rather than nonselective fludizing effects within transbilayer domains of SPMVPL.
