Automobile industries have been focusing their efforts on the development of exhaust manifolds using high temperature stainless steels. Exhaust manifolds fabricated with stainless steels can be categorized into tubular and cast ones. The former is usually manufactured by forming and welding process and the latter by vacuum casting process. In the present study, high temperature mechanical properties of 5 austenitic and 4 ferritic stainless steels were investigated by performing a series of high temperature tensile and low cycle fatigue tests. One of the austenitic stainless steels was vacuum cast and the others sand cast. Fatigue life of ferritic stainless steels was higher than that of austenitic ones.

Reduced Activation Ferritic/Martenstic (RAFs) are leading candidates for structural materials of D-T fusion reactor. One of The RAFs, JLF-1 (9Cr-2W-V, Ta) has been developed and proved to have good resistance against high-fluency neutrino irradiation and good phase stability. Recently, in order to clarify the strengthening mechanical at high temperature, a new scheme to improve high temperature mechanical properties is desired. Therefore, the creep properties and creep life prediction by Larson-Miller Parameter method for JLF-1 to be used for fusion reactor materials or other high temperature components were presented at the elevated temperatures of $500^{\circ}C$, $550^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$, $650^{\circ}C$ and $704^{\circ}C$. It was confirmed experimentally and quantitatively that a creep life predictive e벼ation at such various high temperatures was well derived by LMP.

The crystal structure of magnesium was hexagonal close-packed (HCP), so its formability was poor at room temperature. But formability was improved in high temperature with increasing of the slip planes. Purpose of this paper was to know about the mechanical properties of magnesium alloy (AZ31B), before warm and hot forming process. The mechanical properties were defined by the tension and compression tests in various temperature and strain-rate. As the temperature was increased, yield·ultimate strength, K-value, work hardening exponent (n) and anisotropy factor (R) were decreased. But strain rate sensitivity (m) was increased. As strain-rate increased, yield·ultimate strength, K-value, and work hardening exponent (n) were increased. Also, microstructures of grains fined away at high strain-rate. These results would be used in simulations and manufacturing factor fer warm and hot forming process.

It's important to measure quantitative properties about thermal-nano behavior of polymer for producing high quality components using Nanoimprint lithography process. Nanoscale indents can be used to make the cells for molecular electronics and drug delivery, slots for integration into nanodevices, and defects for tailoring the structure and properties. In this study, formability of polymethylmetacrylate(PMMA) and polycarbonate(PC) were characterized Polymer has extreme variation in thermo mechanical variation during forming high temperature. Because of heating the polymer, it becomes softer than at room temperature. In this case it is particularly important to study high temperature-induced mechanical properties of polymer. Nanoindenter XP(MTS) was used to measure thermo mechanical properties of PMMA and PC. Polymer was heated by using the heating stage on NanoXP. At CSM(Continuous Stiffness Method) mode test, heating temperature was $110^{\circ}C,120^{\circ}C,130^{\circ}C,140^{\circ}C$ and $150^{\circ}C$ for PMMA, $140^{\circ}C,150^{\circ}C,160^{\circ}C,170^{\circ}C$ and $180^{\circ}C$ for PC, respectively. Maximum indentation depth was 2000nm. At basic mode test, heating temperature was $90^{\circ}C$ and $110^{\circ}C$ for PMMA, $140^{\circ}C,160^{\circ}C$ for PC. Maximum load was 10mN, 20mN and 40mN. Also indented pattern was observed by using SEM and AFM. Mechanical properties of PMMA and PC decreased when temperature increased. Decrease of mechanical properties from PMMA went down rapidly than that of PC.

Effects of rolling and cooling conditions on microstructures and mechanical properties of high-deformable pipeline steels were investigated in this study. Six kinds of pipeline steels were fabricated by varying rolling and cooling conditions, and their microstructures were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, electron back-scattered diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. Tensile and Charpy impact tests were conducted on the steels in order to examine the mechanical properties. The steels rolled in the two-phase region showed better low-temperature toughness than those in the single-phase region due to the larger amount of ferrites having high-angle boundaries, although they have lower strength and absorbed energy. The steel rolled in single-phase and finish-cooled at higher temperature showed a good combination of high strength and good low-temperature toughness as well as excellent deformability of the lowest yield ratio and the highest uniform elongation because of the presence of fine ferrite and a mixture of various low-temperature transformation phases.

Recently, building constructions have been developed toward high-rise, long span, and multi-complexed using the high strength materials, optimized section. But the structural behavior of steel structural members built with a high strength steel at fire condition is not clarified because of lacking of information of related references such as mechanical and thermal properties at high temperature situation. In this paper, to evaluate the structural stability of member or frame of steel framed building at fire situation through the engineering method, the mechanical and thermal experimental coupon tests have conducted at various high temperatures and the comparison to those of ordinary strength steels were done.

In this study, ultrasonic pulse velocity was analyzed to evaluate the high-temperature mechanical properties of concrete mixed with non-sintered hwangto. The W/B of the specimens was set at 0.41, the percentage of non-sintered hwangto admixture was set at two levels of 15,30%. The target temperature of the specimen is set to 6 levels of 20, 100, 200, 300, 500, 700 ℃, and the heating rate is set to 1℃/min. The result showed that the amount of non-sintered hwangto incorporated into the concrete tends to results in lower compressive strength. Ultrasonic pulse velocity showed similar trends, but differed in some areas.

Although concrete is a noncombustible material, high temperatures such as those experienced during a fire have a negative effect on the mechanical properties. This paper studies the effect of elevated temperatures on the mechanical properties of limestone, quartzite and granite concrete. Samples from three different concrete mixes with limestone, quartzite and granite coarse aggregates were prepared. The test samples were subjected to temperatures ranging from 25 to $650^{\circ}C$ for a duration of 2 h. Mechanical properties of concrete including the compressive and tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and ultimate strain in compression were obtained. Effects of temperature on resistance to degradation, thermal expansion and phase compositions of the aggregates were investigated. The results indicated that the mechanical properties of concrete are largely affected from elevated temperatures and the type of coarse aggregate used. The compressive and split tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity decreased with increasing temperature, while the ultimate strain in compression increased. Concrete made of granite coarse aggregate showed higher mechanical properties at all temperatures, followed by quartzite and limestone concretes. In addition to decomposition of cement paste, the imparity in thermal expansion behavior between cement paste and aggregates, and degradation and phase decomposition (and/or transition) of aggregates under high temperature were considered as main factors impacting the mechanical properties of concrete. The novelty of this research stems from the fact that three different aggregate types are comparatively evaluated, mechanisms are systemically analyzed, and empirical relationships are established to predict the residual compressive and tensile strength, elastic modulus, and ultimate compressive strain for concretes subjected to high temperatures.

In this study, mechanical properties of high strength cement composites (HSC) containing recycled glass powder (GP) after heating were investigated. As a result, at 100Mpa, as the heating temperature increased, the compressive strength increased while the elastic modulus decreased . At 140Mpa, after heating at 300℃, the spalling occurred excluding GP0, and it is believed to be due to the high density of HSC.
