In this paper, the compact SiO2-B2O3-Al2O3-MgO-F machinable ceramics were prepared through melt-cast and sintering method. The phase composition and microstructure of the ceramics were analyzed and observed using XRD and SEM, and the relationship between processing and microstructure were discussed. The results showed that, after the heat treatment, the main phase of the ceramics changed from fluorophlogopite (mica like) to fluoramphibole (rod like). When the crystallization temperature at 950°C, the nuclei growth rate of the mica glass-ceramics was higher. Meanwhile, a small quantity of forsterite (Mg2SiO4) was also crystallized out in the process. The best heat treatment process was nucleated at 630°C for 2h and crystallized at 950°C for 2h.

The relationship among the microstructure, hardness and electrical conductivity of the as-forged ZYK530 Mg alloy after heat treatment was analyzed and studied using a microscope, X-Ray Diffractometer, eddy current conductivity meter, and Vickers microhardness tester, to explore optimum heat treatment process of ZYK530 Mg alloy. The results show that: with the prolongation of holding time, the electrical conductivity and microhardness show the same change trend, both of which show an oscillatory upward trend, and then decrease in an oscillatory downward trend after reaching the  peak value. There is a linear positive correlation between the conductivity and the hardness, and the fitting results of the conductivity and hardness are in good agreement with the measured results; combined with the actual production, when the heat-treatment is 480 ℃ × 8 h + 220 ℃ × 3 h, the highest hardness is 79.2 HV, the electroconductivity is 36.2%IACS, and the comprehensive performance is the best, which is the best heat treatment process.

The Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) technique can evaluate the residual stresses in carbon steel and provide information about the relationship between residual stress level and MBN signal. This research work is based on the analysis of MBN signals obtained from carbon steel samples. ASTM A36 and A516 carbon steel were used to vary the residual stress by heat treatment process with 5 conditions: annealing, normalizing, quenching in oil, quenching in water and quenching in salt water. The microstructure and hardness of samples also were varied by these heat treatment processes. Twelve samples (including base materials) were cut to analyze the microstructure and hardness by the microscope and hardness testing machine. Reference materials from each condition were established to represent the MBN signals. The MBN technique was used to evaluate the residual stresses from heat treatment process on each reference material. Then each sample was prepared to tensile specimen. All specimens were applied static tension load below yield point. The load was increased at 25 N/mm2 (MPa) in increment. Each tensile stress level was measurement by MBN technique at 0 and 90 degree of direction of tension axis. The experimental results found that the MBN signal amplitude changed as the condition of heat treatment changed and the relationship between tensile stress and MBN signal showed linear correlation. This research is useful to understand and guide for establishing the reference materials for residual stress measurement by MBN technique.
