Semiconducting orthorhombic BaSi2 films were synthesized on Si(111) substrates using magnetron sputtering (MS) and subsequent annealing by interdiffusion between the deposited Ba film and Si(111) substrate. The structural and morphological features of the result films are analysed. The growth mechanism and the evolution of the silicides are discussed. The effects of annealing temperature and annealing time on the growth of the BaSi2 film are studied.

Longitudinal grooves of various depths ranging from 0.001 in to 0.011 in were machined on the cylindrical surface of steel slugs prior to carrying out an automatic two-stage transfer heading operation. The longitudinal grooves were used to estimate the ‘critical groove depth’, which was defined as the depth of longitudinal groove that contained a ductile fracture crack just on the point of ‘opening out’ at the end of the heading process, thus giving a measure of the ductility of the wire. A half-replicate of a two-level factorial experiment was carried out to assess the effects and interactions of annealing temperature, annealing time, cooling rate and ageing temperature on the ductility of four different types of 1/2 in diameter cold heading steel wire. The results show that certain types of steel wires have optimum ductility in the ‘as-received’, cold-drawn, state. Other types of steel are shown to respond favourably to process annealing treatments, in which case annealing at 700°C for 1 hour followed by air cooling should give optimum ductility. It is shown that there is no general correlation between decreasing hardness and increasing ductility for steel wire.

In this paper, we have prepared the beta-FeSi2 thin film on Si substrate through the direct current magnetron sputtering technology. We have tested the samples by XRD, optical digital microscope (ODM), spectrophotometer, and SEM. Under the same annealing temperature at 1153 K, the annealing time has important influence on the optical characteristic of beta-FeSi2 thin film. More the thickness of the beta-FeSi2 thin film is thinner, and more the absorptivity of photo is higher. We should use the thinner beta-FeSi2 thin film with appropriate value of the thickness and must adopt the anti-reflection layer to fabricate the solar cell.

The effect of the annealing atmosphere, the annealing temperature etc. on the hydrogen behavior in several Al-4% Mg alloys during heat treatment, was investigated. The results have shown that the hydrogen content in the as-cast slab is uniform, while the hydrogen content in the slab tends to be higher near the surface than in the interior after annealing. Such a tendency becomes more marked when annealing time is prolonged and Si and Fe content is lowered. The condensation of hydrogen near the surface can be seen only when it is annealed in a wet atmosphere. When annealed in a dry atmosphere, the hydrogen content near the surface becomes lower than in the center of the specimen. The hydrogen in Al-Mg alloys tends to be released to outside intrinsically at temperatures around 400°C and above. It is revealed that oxide film formed on the surface prevents the hydrogen from being released to outside.

AISI 410-3Mo-3Ni stainless steel is a martensitic steel which limited in using when compared to austenitic and ferritic stainless steels. Martensitic steel has an essential role in specific components due to a combination of strength, toughness and excellent corrosion resistance. However, martensitic steel tends to undergo decreasing in mechanical properties and microstructure after the forging process. In this study, mechanical properties and microstructure of the forged AISI 410 after receiving annealing heat treatment will be studied. Annealing aims to reduce material hardness and increase grain refinement of material. Annealing heat treatment is carried out by varying the annealing temperature and time. Annealing temperature variations are 7000, 7600, and 8000C. The annealing time variation is 3 hours and 6 hours. The effect of annealing time and temperature will be studied on the hardness and microstructure of the AISI 410 modified material. The optimum hardness of 35.9 HRC in sample with annealing treatment in 760°C for 6 hours. The microstructure shows delta ferrite, martensite, austenite, and carbide phases which affect hardness value of annealed samples.

Morphological features of montmorillonite aggregates in a large number of samples suggest that they may be formed by a dendritic crystal growth mechanism (i.e., tree-like growth by branching of a growth front).

Zirconium-doped MgxZn1−xO (Zr-doped MZO) mixed-oxide films were investigated, and the temperature sensitivity of their electric and optical properties was characterized. Zr-doped MZO films were deposited through radio-frequency magnetron sputtering using a 4-inch ZnO/MgO/ZrO2 (75/20/5 wt%) target. Hall measurement, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmittance, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data were obtained. The lowest sheet resistance, highest mobility, and highest concentration were 1.30 × 103 Ω/sq, 4.46 cm2/Vs, and 7.28 × 1019 cm−3, respectively. The XRD spectra of the as-grown and annealed Zr-doped MZO films contained MgxZn1−xO(002) and ZrO2(200) coupled with Mg(OH)2(101) at 34.49°, 34.88°, and 38.017°, respectively. The intensity of the XRD peak near 34.88° decreased with temperature because the films that segregated Zr4+ from ZrO2(200) increased. The absorption edges of the films were at approximately 348 nm under 80% transmittance because of the Mg content. XPS revealed that the amount of Zr4+ increased with the annealing temperature. Zr is a potentially promising double donor, providing up to two extra free electrons per ion when used in place of Zn2+.
