The definition of a nanocomposite material has broadened significantly to encompass a large variety of systems made of dissimilar components and mixed at the nanometer scale. The properties of nanocomposite materials also depend on the morphology, crystallinity, and interfacial characteristics of the individual constituents. In the current work, vapor-grown carbon nanofibers were subjected to varying heat-treatment temperatures. The strength of adhesion between the nanofiber and an epoxy (thermoset) matrix was characterized by the flexural strength and modulus. Heat treatment to 1800C∘demonstrated maximum improvement in mechanical properties over that of the neat resin, while heat-treatment to higher temperatures demonstrated a slight decrease in mechanical properties likely due to the elimination of potential bonding sites caused by the elimination of the truncated edges of the graphene layers. Both the electrical and thermal properties of the resulting nanocomposites increased in conjunction with the increasing heat-treatment temperature.

For thin-walled casting development of austempered ductile iron (ADI), permanent mold casting and accompanied heat treatment practice were systematically investigated to suppress and/or remove chill defects of ductile cast iron (DCI) with various thickness of 2 to 9 mm and to ensure mechanical properties of the final ADI casting. Si content was increased up to 3.8% to reduce the chill formation tendency under a high cooling rate. The residual Mg content remarkably affected the nodule count, while the nodule size and spherodization were proven to have weak relationships. Austenitizing process followed by austempering was very sensitive to chemical compositions (Si and Sn) and heat treatment temperature. As a practical application, the steel bar coupler for a structural frame was tried to produce without subsequent machining.

Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) was prepared in three types of aqueous solutions with various applied voltage. The mechanical property of AAO prepared in different electrolyte was investigated and hardness was increased on account of the increase of the thickness between pores. The mechanical property and microstructure change of AAO prepared in oxalic acid at 40V was investigated by heat treatment. AAO prepared in oxalic acid at 40V was transformed from amorphous to crystalline phase by heat treatment above 800oC and hardness was increased about 2.6 times with increase of heat treatment temperature.

A novel poly(arylene ether nitrile) terminated with hydroxyl groups (PEN–OH) was synthesized successfully. The effects of heat-treatment temperature on the thermal properties, mechanical properties, and dielectric properties of the PEN–OH films were studied in detail. Due to the cross-linking reaction occurring, at high temperature, among the nitrile groups on the side of the PEN–OH main chain to form a structurally stable triazine ring, the structure of materials changes from a linear structure to a bulk structure. Thus, the thermal properties and mechanical properties were improved. In addition, the occurrence of cross-linking reactions can reduce the polar groups in the material, leading to the decrease of dielectric constant. As the heat-treatment temperature increased, the glass-transition temperature increased from 180.6 °C to 203.6 °C, and the dielectric constant decreased from 3.4 to 2.8 at 1 MHz. Proper temperature heat-treatment could improve the tensile strength, as well as the elongation, at the break of the PEN–OH films. Moreover, because of the excellent adhesive property of PEN–OH to copper foil, a double-layer flexible copper clad laminate (FCCL) without any adhesives based on PEN–OH was prepared by a simple hot-press method, which possessed high peel strength with 1.01 N/mm. Therefore, the PEN–OH has potential applications in the electronic field.

Perlakuan panas adalah pemanasan yang diikuti dengan penahanan dan pendinginan menggunakan media quenching. Pengerasan adalah pemanasan logam hingga suhu austenit, tahan pada suhu tersebut untuk sementara waktu dan kemudian didinginkan pada media pendinginan seperti air, minyak, udara, air garam. Untuk mengatasi perubahan sifat mekanik, perlu diberikan proses perlakuan panas. Hal ini perlu dilakukan untuk menghilangkan stress internal dan mencegah terjadinya retak atau cacat. Sifat mekanis ketangguhan adalah kemampuan material untuk menyerap energi sesaat sebelum terjadi fraktur pada struktur itu. Penelitian ini membahas tentang prediksi ketangguhan properti mekanik dengan memberikan pemanasan pada temperatur 800, 850 dan 9000C dan masing-masing specimen  diquenching dengan : air tawar, air laut dan minyak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan sifat ketangguhan dari efek temperatur dan media pendinginan yang digunakan. Data menunjukan pada 8000C dengan media quenching minyak nilai ketangguhan adalah 33,833 kg/cm2, serta suhu 9000C dengan quenching media air nilai ketangguhan adalah 40,8747 kg/cm2). Jadi semakin meningkat temperature perlakuan,  berpengaruh terhadap sifat ketangguhan impak bahan. Heat treatment is carried out by heating followed by anchoring and using quenching medium as cooling. Hardening is metal heating to austenite temperature, hold it at a temporary temperature and then cooled to cooling media such as water, oil, air, brine. To overcome the change of mechanical properties, need to be given process of heat treatment. This is to remove internal stress and prevent the occurrence of cracks or defects. The mechanical properties of toughness are the ability of the material to absorb energy without fracturing the structure. This study discusses the prediction of toughness of mechanical properties by heating at temperatures of 800, 850 and 9000C and each specimen quenching with: freshwater, seawater and oil. The results showed that there was an increase in the toughness properties of the temperature effect and the cooling medium used. The data show on 8000C with medium quenching oil the toughness value is 33.833 kg/cm2, and the temperature of 9000C with quenching medium water toughness value is 40.8747 kg/cm2). So the increasing of treatment temperature has influence to the material toughness

Most heat treatment simulations of precipitation-hardenable aluminum alloys are incomplete or restricted to sub-steps of the process chain. In general, the studies addressing the heat treatment of aluminum components have only provided a qualitative guidance of heat treatment, which does not match the heat treatment that is necessary for specific parts with specific requirements. Thus, a quick and accurate simulation of the whole heat treatment process would hold great economic benefit for industrial applications in predicting suitable heat treatment processes that are able to meet the required mechanical properties of proposed novel aluminum components. In this paper, the development of a time and cost efficient method for generating such prediction models is presented by means of an example aluminum alloy EN AW-6082. During the process sub-steps of solution annealing, quenching and aging, the time-temperature correlations connected to the precipitation-hardening conditions were analyzed. The precision of the prediction model depends on the size of the material database, which should be able to be adjusted to the individual requirements of the simulation user. In order to obtain the greatest time and cost efficiency in generating such a model, a specific experimental design was developed. The results of the method development are presented and discussed.

The results show that the built model can reflect the relationships between processing and properties very well and has certain accuracy. It can be used for the prediction of the properties of Ti2AlC/TiAl compound materials after heating processing under different experiment conditions. Meanwhile, the model can also serve as a guide for the preparation technology of Ti2AlC/TiAl compound materials.
