Grade A raw milk which had initial psychrotrophic counts of less than 103/ml was inoculated with an antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas sp. to a final cell concentration of 102, 104, or 106/ml. The inoculated milk was held at 4 C for 14 h and then exposed to the following time-temperature treatments: 72 C for 15 sec, 79 C for 15 sec, 88 C for 10 sec, and 95 C for < 5 sec. An uninoculated raw milk control was handled and analyzed along with inoculated samples. Aliquots of milk were analyzed for marked Pseudomonas sp., total psychrotrophic counts, numbers of Pseudomonas, and for distribution of nitrogen before and after each heat treatment and after storage of non-heat-treated raw milk and heat-treated samples for 7 and 14 days at 7 C. Psychrotrophic counts were significantly affected by heat treatment, initial cell inoculum, days stored, and plating media. Non-casein N, non-casein protein, total albumin, β-lactoglobulin, proteose-peptone, and globulin N were significantly decreased by heat treatment. Non-casein N, non-casein protein, β-lactoglobulin, and proteose-peptone were significantly increased by days of storage.

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.

PurposeThe aims of this study is to analyze failure of two types of high‐strength low‐alloy (HSLA) steels which are used in wheel bolts 10.9 grade, boron steel and chromium‐molybdenum steel, before and after heat treatment.Design/methodology/approachThe optimum heat treatment to obtain the best tensile behavior was determined and Charpy impact and Rockwell hardness tests were performed on the two steel types before and after the optimum heat treating.FindingsFractographic studies show a ductile fracture for heat‐treated boron steel while indicate a semi‐brittle fracture for heat‐treated chromium‐molybdenum steel. Formation of a small boron carbide amount during heat treating of boron steel results in increment the bolt's tensile strength while the ductility did not changed significantly. In the other hand, formation of chromium and molybdenum carbides during heat treating of chromium‐molybdenum steel increased the bolt's tensile strength with a considerable reduction in the final ductility.Originality/valueThis paper evaluates failure analysis of HSLA wheel bolt steels and compares their microstructure before and after the loading regime.

In this paper, Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys heterocycle) before and after heat treatment were used as raw materials to prepare transparent bamboo (TB). In an acidic environment, the lignin contained in the bamboo material was removed to obtain a bamboo template, and an epoxy resin similar to the cellulose refractive index was used for vacuum impregnation into the bamboo template to obtain a transparent bamboo material. The purpose of this study was to compare the physical and chemical properties of TB and original bamboo and the differences between TBs before and after heat treatment, taken from different parts of bamboo, in order to explore the performance advantages and disadvantages of TB as a new material. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis (FTIR), scanning electron microscope testing (SEM), three elements analysis, light transmittance testing, and mechanical strength testing were used to study the molecular composition, microstructure, chemical composition, light transmittance, and tensile strength of the TB samples. The results showed that the lignin content of the delignified bamboo templates was greatly reduced. In addition, the SEM images showed that a large amount of epoxy resin (type E51 and type B210 curing agent) was covered on the cross-section surface and pores of the TB samples. The FTIR showed that the epoxy molecular groups appeared on the TB, and the delignified bamboo template and the resin had a good synergy effect. According to the light transmittance testing, the original bamboo samples hardly contained light transmittance under visible light. The transmittance of transparent inner bamboo (TIB) and transparent heat-treated inner bamboo (THIB) could reach about 11%, and the transmittance of transparent outer bamboo (TOB) and transparent heat-treated outer bamboo (THOB) was about 2%. The light transmittance had been significantly improved when compared with the original bamboo samples. The transmittances of the TB samples before and after heat treatment in different parts of bamboo were different. In the visible light irradiation range, the light transmittances of TB samples were as follows: TIB > THIB and THOB > TOB. Meanwhile, the tensile strength of TB was reduced, especially for TOB and THOB. In addition, TB has a wide range of raw materials, and the preparation process is environmentally friendly. It can be used for decorative materials in homes, buildings, etc., and has a great application potential.

Effects of annealing treatment on microstructure and the compressive properties of hot-worked Ti-45Al-8Nb-(W, B, Y) alloy were investigated. Microstructure of the extrusion plus multi-step forging pancake before and after heat treatment was analyzed by SEM and TEM, respectively. The annealing was conducted by holding samples at 1100°C for 2hrs, and followed by air cooling and furnace cooling. The mechanical properties were measured by Instron test machine. The microstructure evolution during compressive deformation was analyzed by TEM. The results showed that after the annealing the microstructure change could not be observed under SEM but can be observed under TEM. Many dislocation clusters were removed by heat treatment. The heat treated samples had similar compression behaviors with the pancake. TEM investigation showed that the numerous twin intersections occured in γ matrix during compression. The twin spaces tended to decrease as the deformation and the intersection increasing.

Commercial semi-solid cast impellers are produced from Al-Si-Cu alloys heat treated to the T6 temper. The study described in this paper involved the identification of casting and heat treatment parameters to produce semi-solid processed turbocharger impellers from a silicon-free, higher strength 201 alloy. Casting parameters were identified which minimized hot tearing in the alloy 201 impellers. A series of heat treatment studies were performed to determine optimum heat treatment parameters. The T71 temper was identified as the preferred heat treatment condition to produce high strength as well as superior elongation. The results from mechanical property measurements conducted on the T71 heat treated impellers are reported. Optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were also used to characterize the microstructure of alloy 201 impellers before and after heat treatment, and representative microstructures are presented.

High chromium cast iron samples of 14% Cr and 24% Cr were produced in sand and permanent mold using semi-solid casting process. A series of experiments were carried out to clarify the effect of copper cooling plate and mold cooling rate on microstructure, particularly morphology and sphericity of primary austenite, hardness and heat treatment cycles. Results show that for 14% Cr and 24% cast irons casting at 10 and 15 degrees of inclined plate result in better sphericity and distribution of primary austenite and carbides. Moreover hardness comparison of both semi-solid iron alloys using copper cooling plate at of this special morphologies resulted from cooling plate investigated by making them heat treat at 1050 centigrade °C for 1 and 2 hours. Hardness results show both heat treated 14 and 24% Cr alloy in 1 hours have hardness comparable with those alloys traditionally cast optimum angles with respect to conventional casting show higher hardness in every condition. Effect but heat treated in 2 hours. Finally X-Ray diffraction pattern taken from specimens before and after heat treatment confirmed with observed phases in optical microscopy before and after heat treatment.

Summary The aim of this work was to study the wettability and chemical composition of heat-treated wood. Heat treatment was performed at 240°C under inert atmosphere on four European wood species (pine, spruce, beech and poplar). Contact angle measurements before and after treatment indicated a significant increase in wood hydrophobicity. Advancing contact angles of a water drop were in all cases systematically higher for heat-treated than for untreated wood. Chemical modifications of wood after heat treatment were investigated using FTIR and 13C NMR analysis. FTIR spectra indicated little structural change which could be attributed either to carbon-carbon double bond formation or to adsorbed water. NMR spectra also revealed little chemical change except for the degree of cellulose crystallinity which was considerably higher in heat-treated wood and could explain the higher contact angles.

SummaryThe effects of heat treatment and subsequent acidification of milk on the distribution of proteins, Ca and Pi, between the serum and micellar phases were examined using ultracentrifugation. After heating milk at 85 °C for 10 min, and storing for 22 h at 4, 20 or 30 °C, there was a marked increase in the concentration of κ-casein in the serum. At 4 and 20 °C there was also slightly more β-casein in the serum from heat-treated milk than in that from the corresponding raw milk. The whey proteins were extensively denatured, and were almost equally distributed between the supernatants and micellar pellets. After storage for 22 h the distribution of Ca and Pi between soluble and colloidal phases in heat-treated milk was similar to that in raw milk. After acidifying heat-treated milk by the addition of glucono-δ-lactone and storing for 22 h at 4, 20 or 30 °C there was progressive solubilization of colloidal calcium phosphate with decreasing pH, and at pH 5·0 almost all of the Ca and Pi was present in the serum. At 20 °C, and even more so at 4 °C, serum concentrations of the individual caseins increased considerably with decreasing pH, reaching maximum levels of about 25 and 40% of the total casein at pH 5·7 and 5·5 respectively, and then decreasing rapidly at lower pH. Compared with raw milk, maximum dissociation in heat-treated milks stored at 4 and 20 °C occurred at higher pH, and the overall levels of dissociation of individual caseins from the micelles were lower. At 30 °C, the concentrations of individual caseins in the serum of heat-treated milk decreased steadily as the pH was reduced, and did not show the slight increase found previously for raw milk. The role of the denatured whey proteins in interacting with κ-casein and in promoting aggregation of the micelles on acidification is discussed.

Research has shown the relationship among hardness, usage and corrosion resistance Ni-P-Al2O3 composite coatings on steel support heat treated. The electroless strips were heat treated at 200°C, 300°C, 400°C, 500°C and 600°C. Further studies on corrosion, hardness and usage revealed changes in properties, compared to the initial state, both on the strips coated with Ni-P and the ones coated with Ni-P-Al2O3 composite. The samples have been studied before and after the heat treatment via Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The results show that untreated Ni-P layers exhibit strong corrosion resistance, while hardness and usage increase with heat treatment temperature, with a peak at 400 °C. Using suspended particles co-deposition, led to new types of layers, some with excellent hardness and usage properties. Corrosion resistance increase with heat treatment. Coating layers can be adjusted to the desired characteristics, by selecting proper parameters for the expected specific results.
