Heat treatments were applied to barley seeds and 10 different mutant characters were observed in the progeny, viz.; xantha1 and 2, dwarf1,2,3 and 4, virescent1 and 2, chlorina and albino. Typical Mendelian ratios were not obtained in the first segregating generation owing to the small size of the sector affected in the generation of treatment. In the second and third segregating generations, good fits were obtained in all cases to either monohybrid or dihybrid ratios. Both 3:1 and 15:1 ratios were observed in lines segregating for xantha1 and albino characters. The postulation of the duplicate factor hypothesis was necessary to explain this situation. Chlorina and dwarf mutants segregated in all the cases investigated as simple Mendelian recessives. One virescent strain was believed to have arisen through plastid mutation and was maternally inherited.The heat treatment significantly increased the natural mutation rate for the xantha characters but apparently had no effect on the albino mutation rate. Dwarf, virescent and chlorina mutants were observed in the segregating generation after heat treatment, but were not detected in untreated populations.

Abstract Additive Manufacturing processes are considered advanced manufacturing methods. It would be possible to produce complex shape components from a Computer-Aided Design model in a layer-by-layer manner. Lattice structures as one of the complex geometries could attract lots of attention for both medical and industrial applications. In these structures, besides cell size and cell type, the microstructure of lattice structures can play a key role in these structures' mechanical performance. On the other hand, heat treatment has a significant influence on the mechanical properties of the material. Therefore, in this work, the effect of the heat treatments on the microstructure and mechanical behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V lattice structures manufactured by EBM was analyzed. The main mechanical properties were compared with the Ashby and Gibson model. It is very interesting to notice that a more homogeneous failure mode was found for the heat-treated samples. The structures' relative density was the main factor influencing their mechanical performance of the heat-treated samples. It is also found that the heat treatments were able to preserve the stiffness and the compressive strength of the lattice structures. Besides, an increment of both the elongation at failure and the absorbed energy was obtained after the heat treatments. Microstructure analysis of the heat-treated samples confirms the increment of ductility of the heat-treated samples with respect to the as-built one.

Gas atomized Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) alloy powder was used to prepare distinct designed geometries with different properties by selective laser melting (SLM). Several heat treatments were investigated to find suitable processing parameters to strengthen (specially to harden) these parts for different applications. The results showed significant differences between tabulated results for heat treated billet Ti64 and SLM produced Ti64 parts, while certain mechanical properties of SLM Ti64 parts could be improved by different heat treatments using different processing parameters. Most heat treatments performed followed the trends of a reduction in tensile strength while improving ductility compared with untreated SLM Ti64 parts.Gas nitriding [GN] (diffusion-based thermo-chemical treatment) has been combined with a selected heat treatment for interstitial hardening. Heat treatment was performed below β-transus temperature using minimum flow of nitrogen gas with a controlled low pressure. The surface of the SLM produced Ti64 parts after gas nitriding showed TiN and Ti2N phases (“compound layer”, XRD analysis) and α (N) – Ti diffusion zones as well as high values of micro-hardness as compared to untreated SLM produced Ti64 parts. The microhardness profiles on cross section of the gas nitrided SLM produced samples gave information about the i) microhardness behaviour of the material, and ii) thickness of the nitrided layer, which was investigated using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and x-ray elemental analysis. Tensile properties of the gas nitrided Ti64 bars produced by SLM under different conditions were also reported.

Raw milk was heat-treated under subpasteurization and suprapasteurization conditions, cooled and stored for up to 72 h at 4.4 and 6.7°C. Milk lipase activity and bacteria counts were monitored in both unheated and heated milks. Inhibition of milk lipase activity ranged from 42 to 98% for treatments of 57.2°C for 10 sec to 73.9°C for 10 sec, respectively. The logs of Standard Plate Count after 72 h of storage at 6.7°C were 6.56, 4.86, 4.31, 4.00 and 2.82 for unheated and 10-sec heat treatments at 57.2, 65.6, 73.9 and 82.2°C, respectively. Psychrotrophic Bacteria Counts were also lower in the heated milks than in the unheated milk. The logs of Psychrotrophic Bacteria Counts after 72 h of storage at 6.7°C were 6.21, 2.45, 2.27, 1.33 and 1.00 for unheated and 10-sec heat treatments at 57.2, 65.6, 73.9 and 82.2°C, respectively. Heat treatment of raw milk supplies would result in limiting action of the milk lipase system and growth of bacteria.

Abstract This article introduces some of the general sources of heat treating problems with particular emphasis on problems caused by the actual heat treating process and the significant thermal and transformation stresses within a heat treated part. It addresses the design and material factors that cause a part to fail during heat treatment. The article discusses the problems associated with heating and furnaces, quenching media, quenching stresses, hardenability, tempering, carburizing, carbonitriding, and nitriding as well as potential stainless steel problems and problems associated with nonferrous heat treatments. The processes involved in cold working of certain ferrous and nonferrous alloys are also covered.

The appropriate selection of implant materials is very important for the long-term success of the implants. A modified composition of AISI 316 stainless steel was treated using solar energy in a vertical axis solar furnace and it was subjected to a hyper-hardening treatment at a 1050 °C austenitizing temperature with a rapid cooling in cold water followed by three variants of tempering (150, 250, and 350 °C). After the heat treatment, the samples were analyzed in terms of hardness, microstructure (performed by scanning electron microscopy), and corrosion resistance. The electrochemical measurements were performed by potentiodynamic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in liquids that simulate biological fluids (NaCl 0.9% and Ringer’s solution). Different corrosion behaviors according to the heat treatment type have been observed and a passivation layer has formed on some of the heat-treated samples. The samples, heat-treated by immersion quenching, exhibit a significantly improved pitting corrosion resistance. The subsequent heat treatments, like tempering at 350 °C after quenching, also promote low corrosion rates. The heat treatments performed using solar energy applied on stainless steel can lead to good corrosion behavior and can be recommended as unconventional thermal processing of biocompatible materials.

Conventionally processed precipitation hardening aluminum alloys are generally treated with T6 heat treatments which are time-consuming and generally optimized for conventionally processed microstructures. Alternatively, parts produced by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) are characterized by unique microstructures made of very fine and metastable phases. These peculiar features require specifically optimized heat treatments. This work evaluates the effects of a short T6 heat treatment on L-PBF AlSi7Mg samples. The samples underwent a solution step of 15 min at 540 °C followed by water quenching and subsequently by an artificial aging at 170 °C for 2–8 h. The heat treated samples were characterized from a microstructural and mechanical point of view and compared with both as-built and direct aging (DA) treated samples. The results show that a 15 min solution treatment at 540 °C allows the dissolution of the very fine phases obtained during the L-PBF process; the subsequent heat treatment at 170 °C for 6 h makes it possible to obtain slightly lower tensile properties compared to those of the standard T6. With respect to the DA samples, higher elongation was achieved. These results show that this heat treatment can be of great benefit for the industry.

Non Destructive

The applicability of active thermography as a non-destructive method to distinguish heat treated from not-treated boron steel has been investigated. While the usual hardness semi-destructive tests influence the inspected surface, laser thermography is capable of verifying the effectiveness of heat treatment in boron steel in a non-destructive way without any surface modification. The procedure has been verified on two plates of boron steels with different structures (100% ferritic–pearlitic and 100% martensitic).

As-received P/P + (100) epitaxial silicon wafers were heat treated using the one-, two-, and three-step internal gettering heat treatment cycles in wet oxygen, dry oxygen, and nitrogen ambients. The results indicate that ambients have an effect on the growth of bulk defects and denuded zone formation in the epitaxial silicon wafers.

The optical and electrical properties of indium sulfide films with different heat treatments are investigated. Indium sulfide films are heat treated in Ar gas in a temperature range of 100–400 °C. Some annealed samples are heat treated at 300 °C with sulfur powder. The indium sulfide films show a band gap of 1.9–2.3 eV, an electrical resistivity in the range of 5.5 × 100–6.0 × 103 Ωm, and n-type electrical conduction. The resistivity decreases by three orders of magnitude by heat treatment at 300 °C in Ar gas and recovers almost to the initial state by heat treatment at 300 °C with sulfur powder. The Seebeck coefficient and subgap absorption at 1 eV show similar changes and recovery. The experimental results reveal the possible control of the density of states and of the Fermi level position by heat treatment and, hence, the feasibility of carrier control.

Dissolution And Precipitation

Precipitation hardening aluminium alloys are widely used for automotive applications. To enhance the application of aluminium profiles, improved formability is needed. Tailor Heat Treated Profiles (THTP) with locally different material properties attempt to increase formability e.g. in bending processes. Tailoring of local properties is obtained by a local short-term heat treatment, dissolving the initial precipitate state (retrogression) and still allowing subsequent ageing. In the present study, the dissolution and precipitation behaviour of the aluminium alloy EN AW-6060 T4 was investigated during heating with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Heating curves from 20 to 600 °C with heating rates of 0.01 up to 5 K/s were recorded. Interrupted heat treatments with different maximum temperatures were performed in a deformation dilatometer. Immediately afterwards, tensile tests were carried out at room temperature. The course of the recorded mechanical properties as a function of the maximum temperature is discussed with regard to the dissolution and precipitation behaviour during heating. Finally, the aging behaviour of the investigated alloy was recorded after different typical short-term heat treatments and is discussed with reference to the DSC‐curves. The correlation of the microstructure and the mechanical properties enables the derivation of optimal parameters for the development of THTP through a local softening.
