This aim of this is to determine the manner of realizing tubing pipe, which have to comply with suplimentary requirements concerning the notch impact strength at lower temperature (below - 300C). We realized �73 x 5.51 mm and �89 x 13 mm pipes applying various final heat treatment variants. For each heat treatment variant were determined the mechanical properties and the impact absorbed energy at temperatures between (-60 0C and +15 0C).

This article describes the concept of uphill quenching process applied in the heat treatment of aluminum alloys. Uphill quenching is interesting since residual stress reductions of up to 80% has been reported. In addition, substantial improvements in dimensional stability have been achieved for several types of aluminum parts. Often, uphill quenching is applied after quenching and before aging during the heat treatment of aluminum alloys. The uphill quenching process consists of the immersion of the part in a cryogenic environment, and after homogenization of the temperature, the part is transferred to the hot steam chamber to obtain a temperature gradient that will maintain the mechanical properties gained with this process. The results obtained are lower residual stress and better dimensional stability. The aim of this article is to provide a review of this process and to compare it with conventional heat treatment.

Dense and smooth BaTiO3 thin films were prepared on SrTiO3 (100) substrates by the dipping-pyrolysis process using a mixed precursor solution of barium and titanium naphthenates. Combination effects of prefiring [at 150–450 °C in air or low oxygen partial pressure, p(O2)[ and final heat treatment [at 850 °C in air or low p(O2)[ on preparation of BaTiO3 thin films were examined. An epitaxial BaTiO3 thin film with a dense and smooth surface consisting of nanosized grains about 70 nm was prepared by prefiring under low p(O2) at 250 °C and final heat treatment under low p (O2) at 850 °C.

Abstract Fuel cladding may be subjected to biaxial tensile stress in axial and hoop directions during pellet-cladding mechanical interaction (PCMI) of a reactivity-initiated accident (RIA). Incipient crack in the hydride rim assisted by the scattered hydrides in the metal phase may lead to failure of the cladding at small hoop strain level during PCMI. To get insight of such phenomenon, biaxial-EDC tests under axial to hoop strain ratios ranging from 0 to 1 were performed with pre-cracked (outer surface) and uniformly hydrided Zircaloy-4 cladding tube samples with final heat-treatment status of cold worked (CW), stress relieved (SR) and Recrystallized (RX). Results showed dependencies of failure hoop strain on pre-crack depth, strain ratio, hydrogen content and final heat-treatment status on fabrication, but no apparent dependencies were observed on the distribution pattern of hydrides (with similar hydrogen contents and hydrides predominantly precipitated in hoop direction) and the heat-treatment process for hydrogen charging. J integral at failure seems to be available to unify the effect of pre-crack depth.

Wood is an environmentally friendly material, but some natural properties limit its wide application. To study the effect of a combination of heat treatment (HT) and wax impregnation (WI) on wood hygroscopicity, dimensional stability, and mechanical properties, samples of Pterocarpus macrocarpus Kurz wood were subjected to HT at a moderate temperature of 120 °C and a high temperature of 180 °C, for a 4 h duration. Subsequently, half of the 120 °C HT samples were treated with WI at 90 °C. The results showed that 180 °C HT and WI decreased the capacity of adsorption and liquid water uptake and swelled the wood significantly, while WI had the biggest reduction. The effect of 120 °C HT was significant only on decreasing the capacity of adsorption and the swelling of liquid water uptake. The bending strength (MOR) of wood decreased only after 180 °C HT, and 120 °C/4h HT and WI had no significant influence on MOR. The bending stiffness (MOE) increased significantly after 180 °C HT and WI, while 120 °C/4h HT had no significant influence on MOE. Therefore, the combination of moderate-temperature HT can act synergistically in the improvement of certain aspects of wood properties such as capacity of water adsorption and liquid water uptake. WI effectively improved wood hygroscopicity, dimensional stability, and mechanical properties.

Three groups of GCr15 steel were heat-treated respectively by conventional spheroidizing annealing, circulation spheroidizing annealing, 1050°C for 30min oil cooling quenching + 700°C tempering. The final heat treatment of these GCr15 steel was 840°C oil cooling quenching + 150°C tempering. The microstructure of the heat-treated GCr15 were observed and the mechanism of three spheroidizing treatment were discussed in this paper. The results showed that: There is obvious difference among the three groups carbide of GCr15 for the mechanism of three spheroidizing treatments is different. The GCr15 has 1050°C for 30min oil cooling quenching + 700°C tempering showed the best result of carbide spheroidizing. The microstructure of GCr15 after 840°C oil cooling quenching + 150 °C tempering was tempered martensite and carbide which is fine, round and widely distributed.

The preparation route for Nickel-sheathed MgB2 tapes has been studied in order to achieve improved transport properties at temperatures above that of liquid helium. Superconducting tapes have been manufactured by the Powder-In-Tube method, that consists in the cold working of a Nickel tube filled by reacted MgB2 powders, and in a final heat treatment carried out in Argon atmosphere. The could working procedure has been tuned in order to achieve the highest degree of MgB2 density, while limiting the formation of sausaging of the superconducting core cross section. The effect of the final heat treatment has been studied both on the superconducting and microstructural properties of the MgB2 tapes. The critical current of the reacted MgB2 tapes has been measured as a function of the magnetic field and of the temperature on short samples as well as on a small pancake coil. Finally, the microstructural and XRD analyses have revealed the clear presence of a MgB2Ni2.5 reaction layer between the Nickel sheath and the Nickel sheath and the MgB2 superconducting core in the reacted samples.

Five hardwood species (Schima superba Gardn, kapur( Dryobalanops sp.), ash (Fraxinus mandshurica Rupr.), birch(Betula platyphylla Suk.), tauari (Couratari sp.)) were conducted the Heat treatment at 185°C.. The results indicated that the dimensional stability, modulus of elasticity (MOE) increased greatly while the wettability decreased after treatment. There was a negative impact of heat treatment on MORs.
