This study was conducted on the manufacturing method of high-strength aluminum bolts. We obtained the displacement-load information by tensile test of the Al 6056 raw material and the T6 heat-treated material and calculated the precise flow stress and fracture limit using repetitive finite element analysis for before and after heat treatment. We designed a multi-stage forging process for T6 heat-treated material, and calculated that the accumulated damage value does not exceed fracture limits by finite element method. We produced the prototype forgings without any harmful defects such as cracks and folding occurring. Bolts made of T6 heat treated material show 9.6%higher tensile strength than T6 heat treated material after wire drawing.

In this study, lattice parameter, binding energy and microstructures of TiC layer according to the addition of Fe, Cr were investigated in the reactive deposition coating. From the results, the lattice parameters of the TiC layers by using ferro-titanium as a precursor were 4.329~4.339A but the lattice parameters of the TiC layers formed by ferro-titanium and ferro-chromium decreased to 4.316~4.330A. The hardness of the former's was HV(100g) 3,000~3,400kg/mm and the hardness of the latter's was HV (100g) 3,800~3,900. But, regardless of Cr and Fe, the binding energy of TiC layers were 454.75 eV for $Ti2p_{3/2}$ and were 281.85 eV for Cls. Meanwhile, the TiC layers were densified by addition of Fe, Cr and internal defects were reduced Therefore. it can be concluded that the remarkable hardness increment was obtained by the improvement of microstructures of TiC rather than the increase of bond strength or Peierls stress.

The P/M processing of titanium aluminide using amorphous TiAl is developed by which it is possible to overcome inherent fabricability problems and to obtain a fine microstructure. A high quality amorphous TiAl powder produced by reaction ball milling shows clear glass transition far below a temperature at the onset of crystallization in differential scanning calorimetry above a heating rate of 0.05 K/s. We obtained a fully dense compact of amorphous TiAl powders, encapsulated in a vacuumed can, via viscous flow by hot isostatic pressing (HIP). Isothermally annealing of HIP'ed amorphous compact under a pressure of 196 MPa shows a progressive growth of ${\gamma}-TiAl$ phase with ${\alpha}2$ ($Ti_3Al$), which is characterized by increasing sharpness of X-ray peaks with temperature. Fully dense HIP'ed compact of titanium aluminide TiAl shows a high hardness of 505 Hv, suggesting strengthening mechanisms by sub-micron sized grain of ${\gamma}-TiAl$ and particle-dispersion by second phase constituent, ${\alpha}2$.

Friction stir processing (FSP) was applied to fabricate AZ31/CNT (Carbon Nano Tube) surface composite for improvement of surface hardness of AZ31 Mg-based alloy. The effects of traverse speed of rotating tool and volume fraction of CNT (i.e., groove depth of 3 mm and 4 mm) on the soundness and hardness of the composite layer were investigated. Multi-walled CNTs were fully filled in a machined groove and stirring tool was rotated at the speed of 1400 rpm. Only under the tool traverse speed of 25 mm/min for the specimen with a groove depth of 3 mm, surface composite layer with no defect was successfully produced. Increased hardness of about 35% was observed in the composite layer.

The effects of Si content on the variation of microstructure and processing window of austempered ductile cast iron were investigated. Four different Si contents between 2.42 and 3.37 wt.% were used. The influence of silicon on the microstructure and processing window of these materials were studied. Austenitizing was performed at $900^{\circ}C$ for 60min and austempering temperature were both $340^{\circ}C$ and $360^{\circ}C$ and austempering time were for 4min upto 119min and for 5min upto 160min respectively. After heat treatment, the evolution of stage I and stage II were performed by optical metallography, XRD, hardness test. The results showed that $t_2$ was delayed as Si contents was increased due to the fact that Si retarded the formation of cementite ($Fe_3C$). The high silicon content promoted the stability of the metastable two-phase combination of austenite and ausferrite.

This study investigated the effects of different kinds of seed crystals with miscut angles and pretreatment on the characteristics of a RE-123 superconductor processed by a top-seeded melt-growth (TSMG) method. When the seed crystal was heat-treated in an oxygen atmosphere, the surface structure was cleaned removing hydroxide. When the seed crystal had a miscut angle, in addition, the surface structure showed a well defined hill-and-valley structure after heat-treatment. A better microstructure, with a well-distributed small RE-123 phase, was obtained using a high miscut angle after heat-treatment in an oxygen atmosphere. As a result of the microstructure improvement, the magnetic characteristics also improved. The experimental result can be explained by reduction of nucleation activation energy.

The materials processing factors such as remelting and casting, heat treatment and microstructure, sheet rolling and can body forming in the aluminum can-to-can recycling procedure have been investigated. Aluminum used beverage can(UBC) was remelted together with virgin aluminum. The ceramic filter was used during casting to remove large impurities. As-cast microstructure was composed of large intermetallic compound (mainly $\beta$ -phase) distributed in the aluminum matrix. By heat treatment, $\beta$ -phase was transformed to $\alpha$ -phase which was also formed from $Mg_2$Si particles. The heat treated ingots were hot-rolled at 48$0^{\circ}C$ and cold-rolled to thin sheets. Can making from this thin sheets was successful and earing was measured after can making. There was a critical cold reduction rate for minimum earing. Some cracks were initiated from the impurity particles which was not removed during filtering.

This study was performed to investigate softening methods of raw sea tangle for development of sea tangle processing products and intermediate materials. In examination of various softening agents, it was revealed that 0.3％ sodium triphosphate was best effective on softening with heat treatment. Softerness and spreadability of sea tangle treated with sodium triphosphate and heat treatment were indicated to be better than the others. In blanching studies, microwave was extremely effective on softening and the effect was as follows: microwave>steaming>boiling water in softening order. In the case of adding 0.3％ sodium triphosphate in blanching treatment, there was synergy effectiveness on softening. The color change of treated sea tangle was significantly different at p<0.05 depending on blanching method and addition amount of the agent.

In the production of rice flour, wet milling is a method of milling rice after soaking it in water, and it takes a lot of time and cost from milling to drying. To overcome this problem, the floury type rice was developed for dry milling and it is known to have round starch granules, low content of damaged starch after milling, and a starch structure similar to wheat. Because of its unique properties different from normal rice, it is necessary to research on processing and characteristics of floury-type rice to expand its utility in the food industry. Therefore, this study aimed to prepare the pregelatinized floury type rice (Baromi2) by autoclave and investigate their physicochemical properties. As the heat treatment time increased, the brightness decreased from 83.8 to 76.8, however, both redness and yellowness increased from 0.57 to 4.5 and from 14.58 to 21.13, respectively. Despite of same treatment time, soaking in water (10 min) before autoclaving increased the solubility and swelling power of Baromi2 over 2 times. The peak viscosity of native Baromi2 was over 2000 RVU, on the other hand, there was a significantly decrease to less than 1000 RVU of pregelatinized Baromi2. Heat treatment without immersion caused partial gelatinization of starch, resulting that some starch granules maintaining their integrity. Whereas there were no starch granules in heat treatment with soaking in water due to complete gelatinization. This study would be helpful to the suggestion of using heat-treated floury-type rice as an intermediate material in the food industry in the future.
