This study was investigated the effect of subzero treatment in austempered ductile cast iron. Retained austenite transformed to martensite by subzero treatment and strain. With decreasing subzero treatment temperature and increasing strain, retained austenite transformed more to martensite and transformed 30% above by subzero treatment at $-196^{\circ}C$. With decreasing subzero treatment temperature, the value of strength and ratio of increasing of strength, hardness and ratio of increasing of hardness increased but the value of elongation and ratio of decreasing of elongation decreased. With decreasing subzero treatment temperature, impact value and ratio of decreasing of impact value decreased. In case of subzero treatment at $-196^{\circ}C$, hardness value increased about 18% and impact value decreased above 20%. We could find that in subzero treated specimens had a little of effect on the tensile properties but had very much effect on the hardness and value of the impact.

In this study, STS316L rolled at five rolling degrees were treated with two types of subzero temperatures for 10, 30, and 60 minutes, respectively, and the dominant frequencies of elastic waves was investigated. The dominant frequency was higher as the subzero temperature was lower and the subzero treatment time was longer at each rolling degree. On the other hand, the dominant frequency was higher as the elongation decreased. In the time-frequency analysis for subzero temperature and time of the specimen with a rolling degree of 33%, the dominant frequency was higher at a subzero temperature of -196℃ than -50℃ regardless of subzero treatment time.

This study investigated the dominant frequency of the elastic waves from the tensile test. The specimen was rolled with five different rolling degrees (10, 22, 33, 42 and 50%), which was treated subzero. The specimen was rolled at room temperature, which was transformed from austenite to martensite (only α'-martensite). The dominant frequency increased with an increase in the rolling degree regardless of the subzero temperature, and decreased after 33% of the rolling degree. On the other hand, higher frequency band was obtained at lower temperature and long time. The dominant frequency increased when the amount of α'-martensite increased and decreased with the α'-martensite amount between 50-65%. The lower subzero treatment temperature increased the amount of α'-martensite, which resulted in the higher dominant frequency. The longer treatment time at the same subzero temperature led to an increase in the amount of α'-martensite, leading to high dominant frequency.

The effect of sub zero treatment on the damping capacity in austempered ductile cast iron investigated. Austenite transformed in to martensite by subzero treatment, and with the decrease of subzero treatment temperature, volume fraction of martensite increased. Damping capacity of austempered ductile cast iron was highly increased by subzero treatment, with the decrease of subzero treatment temperature, damping capacity was slowly increased. With the decrease of subzero treatment time, damping capacity was rapidly increased to 30 min. and then slowly increased. With the increase of volume fraction of martensite, damping capacity rapidly increasing to 5% and then slowly increased.

To establish appropriate conditions for a disinfectant efficacy test at subzero temperatures, this study examined mixtures of frozen foot-and-mouth disease virus or avian influenza virus solutions and disinfectant diluents at $-5^{\circ}C$ and monitored temperature and freezing status of an anti-freezing diluent (AFD, 15% ethanol + 30% propylene glycol + 55% distilled water) over time at various subzero temperatures. Viral solutions and disinfectant diluents froze before the mixtures reached $-5^{\circ}C$, whereas the AFD was not frozen at $-30^{\circ}C$. The times taken for the AFD to reach -10, -20, -30, and $-40^{\circ}C$ from room temperature were 36, 39, 45, and 48 min, respectively.

The effect of subzero treatment on the mechanical properties of cold rolled high manganese austenitic stainless steel was investagated. ${\alpha}$'-martensite was formed by cold rolling, and it was formed with surface relief and specific direction or crossing each other. The volume fraction of martensite increased by subzero treatment, and it was increased with longer time of subzero treatment and higher temperature of subzero treatment. The hardness and strength increased by subzero treatment, while the elongation decreased. With the increase of volume fraction of martensite, the hardness and strength was increased steeply with proportional relationship, elongation was decreased slowly. The results show that the hardness and strength was strongly controlled by the volume fraction of martensite, and the elongation was affected by transformation behavior of deformation induced martensite in the initial stage of deformation.

Effect of martensite on the mechanical properties of austempered ductile cast iron was investigated after obtained the martensite by subzero treatment. Retained austenite was transformed to martensite by subzero treatment, and with decreasing subzero treatment temperature, volume fraction of martensite was increased. With increasing of the volume fraction of martensite, tensile strength was increased and elongation was decreased, ratio of increasing of strength and decreasing of elongation was higher in case of specimens with lot's of Cu contents. With increasing of the volume fraction of martensite, hardness slowly increased until only about 5% and it rapidly increased in a straight proportion when it is above 5%, while impact value was rapidly decreased until about 7% but it had a little change when it is above 7%.

The effects of the high temperature gas nitriding (HTGN), tempering and subzero treatment of STD11 steel have been investigated. HTGN treatment was carried out at $1050^{\circ}C$, $1100^{\circ}C$ and $1150^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. in an atmosphere of $1\;kg/cm^2$ nitrogen gas. Tempering and double-tempering were performed at $550^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. The surface layer of HTGN-treated steel appeared the precipitates of $M_2N$, $M_7C_3$ and $M_{23}C_6$ in the matrix of austenite. However, the interior region exhibited martensite with the precipitation of carbides. The nitrogen content of the surface layer appeared ~1.35 wt.%, ~0.83 wt.% and ~0.56 wt.% at the HTGN treatment temperature of $1050^{\circ}C$, $1100^{\circ}C$ and $1150^{\circ}C$, respectively. The surface hardness of double-tempered and subzero-treated steel measured the maximum value of 828 Hv, 960 Hv, 750 HV after HTGN treatment at the $1050^{\circ}C$, $1100^{\circ}C$ and $1150^{\circ}C$, respectively. These hardness value increased above 230~420 Hv compared with the HTGN-treated steel due to the decrease in retained austenite and existence of fine precipitates.

These experiments were carried out to examine the effect of rapid thawing (500$^{\circ}C$/min) on the survival of 8-cell mouse embryos cooled slowly (0.5-1$^{\circ}C$/min) to precooling temperatures between -10 and 070$^{\circ}C$ before direct transfer ofembryos to -196$^{\circ}C$, and to compare the survival of embroys thawed slowly (20$^{\circ}C$/min) and rapidly (500$^{\circ}C$/min) after in vitro culture. In addition, the sensitivity of 8-cell mouse embroys to the rate of addition and removal of cryoprotectant at room temperauture, and the effect of developing stages on the survival of embryos frozen-thawed slowly were investigated. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. Embryos were survived in rapid thawing (500$^{\circ}C$/min) only when slow cooling was terminated at relatively high subzero teperaure (-20 to -60$^{\circ}C$). The highest survival rate(77.0%) in in vitro culture of embryos thawed rapidly was obtaeined after transfer to -196$^{\circ}C$ from -40$^{\circ}C$. 2. For the survival of embryos in slow thawing (20$^{\circ}C$/min.), slow cooling to lower subzero temperature (-50$^{\circ}C$ and below) was required before transfer of embryos to -196$^{\circ}C$. These results indicate that embryos transferred to -196$^{\circ}C$ from high subzero temprature contain much interacellular ice to damage them during slow warming but to permit survival of embryos after rapid warming. 3. The Survival rate (72.7%) of 8-cell mouse embryos after rapid addition and removal of cryoprotectant, DMSO at room temperature was similar to that (83.9%) after slow addition and removal of cryoprotectant at same temperature. 4. The survival rates of 1-, 2-, 4- and 8-cell embryos frozen-thawed slowly were 26.7, 76.4, 70.0 and 83.9%, respectively.
