Abstract: A heat-treated beet is defined as a food that is subject to a temperature, high enough to destroy microorganisms and to preserve all the nutrients. The aim of the study presented in this paper was to investigate the effect by cooking on the properties of heat threated beetroot in the temperature range between 75 °C and 115 °C during the 40, 50 and 60 minutes of cooking. In order to determine the optimal conditions for the implementation of various heat treatment procedures consequently, was followed the influence of heat treatment conditions (temperature/time) on the composition, rheological properties, pH, color change (L*, a*, b*) and sensory characteristics during the development of the “pasteurized/sterilized” beet product. This study has shown that the optimum time and temperature for processing of beetroot is 105 °C at 50 minutes. Samples of beetroot, processed under these conditions had the best softness, the most acceptable taste and color (sensory and instrumentally determined).

The influences of the different content of Rare earth La on the corrosion resistance of AZ81 in the simulated human fluid were studied. In order to further improve the corrosion resistance, different heat treatment procedures were studied. Results showed that with the increase of content of rare earth La, the grain size was refined and the corrosion resistance increased. The corrosion resistance was improved after T6 heat treatment (solid solution+ aging). Microstructure analysis showed that β-phases were precipitated in the T6 heat treatment process. Those fine β phases acted as corrosion barrier and impeded the corrosion extending.

This paper studies the microstructure of drawn gold wires to equivalent strain of 10 and to equivalent strain of 8.5 then heat-treated. The texture of gold wire drawn to strain of 10 is mainly composed of <100> and <111> fibers. Tensile strength of the gold wire increases with <111> fiber fraction, while the grain size does not appear to affect the tensile property. With an exception at heat treatment at 600oC, the texture of gold wire drawn the strain of 8.5 is replaced with <100> fiber component by heat treatment process at 400~700oC. Heat treatment at 600oC produces <110> fiber or <112> fiber, depending upon annealing time.

The composition and microstructure of silicon nitride fibers after heat-treatment at elevated temperatures were investigated by XRD, NMR, XPS, SEM and TEM analyses. The results show that as-received fibers consisted of amorphous silicon nitride, and a little Si-C-O structure. During heat-treatment process, α-Si3N4 and β-Si3N4 formed resulting from the crystallization of amorphous silicon nitride, and the formation of β-SiC derived from the decomposition of Si-C-O structure. As heat-treated temperature increased from 1400oC to 1600oC, the above phenomenon become obvious, indicating that the fiber would possess high serving life with serving temperature lower than 1400oC. The tensile strength of fibers stays stable when heat-treated temperature was below 1200oC, while the strength retention of fibers sharply decreased to 50% after heat-treatment at 1400°C.

The as-cast grate bar structure used in sintering trolley is primarily comprised of austenite and eutectic (eutectic austenite and eutectic carbide).The austenite is dendrite, while the carbides are reticular and chrysanthemum-like. The failed grate bar structure primarily consists of ferrite, carbide, martensite and residual austenite; cavity shrinkage and shrinkage porosity exist in the structure, and the fracture exhibits typical cleavage fracture characteristics. The primary means of failure are abrasion and fracture. The secondary carbides precipitated in the sample (quenching (1050°C+2.5h)+ tempering (390°C+2.5h)) and the other one (quenching (1050°C+2.5h)+ tempering (420°C+2.5h) ) are dispersed and refined. Compared with the as-cast one, their relative abrasion resistance performances respectively are 0.8645 and 0.8752.The values of hardness and impact toughness of the samples heat-treated are greater than those of the as-cast grate bar. The optimum heat treatment process is as follows: quenching (1050°C,2.5h) + tempering (390°C~420°C,2.5h)

High damping magnesium alloys have poor mechanical properties, so it is necessary to investigate the damping properties of high-strength wrought magnesium alloys to effectively reduce vibration and noise in mechanical engineering. The aim of this work is to improve the mechanical damping performance of a novel high-strength Mg-13Gd-4Y-2Zn-0.5Zr magnesium alloy by optimising the heat treatment process. The mechanical damping coefficient, considering not only damping capacity but also the yield strength, is selected as one of the evaluation indexes. The other evaluation index is the tensile strength. The solid solution and ageing treatment were optimised by Box-Behnken method, an efficient experimental design technique. Heat treatment experiments based on the optimal parameters verified that the best process is a solution at 520 °C for 10 h followed by ageing at 239 °C for 22 h. The damping coefficient reaches 0.296, which is 73.1% higher than that before heat treatment. There was a good agreement between the experimental and Box-Behnken predicted results. The microstructure, morphology and composition of the second phases after heat treatment were analysed by SEM, XRD and EDS. Due to the high content of alloying elements in Mg-13Gd-4Y-2Zn-0.5Zr alloy, there are a large number of second phases after heat treated. They mainly include layer, short rod-shaped, bulk long period stacking order (LPSO) Mg12YZn and granular Mg5Gd phases. It was found that the area fraction of the second phases has an extreme effect on the damping capacity and short rod-shaped LPSO can effectively improve the damping capacity of heat-treated Mg-13Gd-4Y-2Zn-0.5Zr alloy. The volume fraction of the second phases was analysed by ImageJ software. It was concluded that the smaller the area occupied by the second phases, the better the mobility of the dislocation, and the better the damping performance of the alloy. The statistical analysis results obtained using ImageJ software are consistent with the experimental results damping capacity.


This paper reflects on the influence of T6 solution heat treatment on A413 and its alloys. Heat treatment carried out at a particular temperature, time and methods are to bring changes in mechanical properties of the material. T6 solution heat treatment performed by heating the specimens at 525 0C for a period of 8 hours and then quenched in water at 65 0C is considered followed by artificial aging is done at 155 0C for 8 hours in hot air oven. Vickers micro-hardness tester used is to determine the hardness of specimen and UTM-2T was used to determine the tensile properties of the specimen. From the above investigation it is observed that the hardness of the A413 has significantly improved with T6 heat treatment process and also found that the tensile properties of the A413 improved when heat treated of the specimen.

Additive manufacturing (AM) of nickel-based superalloys is of high interest for application in complex hot end parts. However, it has been widely suggested that the microstructure-properties of the additive manufacturing processed superalloys are not yet fully clear. In this study, the GTD222, an important superalloy for high-temperature hot-end part, were prepared using selective laser melting and then subjected to heat treatment. The microstructure evolution of the GTD222 was investigated and the mechanical properties of heat treated GTD222 were tested. The results have shown that the grain size of the heat treated GTD222 was close to its as-built counterparts. Meanwhile, a large amount of γ’ and nano-scaled carbides were precipitated in the heat treated GTD222. The microstructure characteristics implied that the higher strength of the heat treated GTD222 can be attributed to the γ’ and nano-scaled carbides. This study provides essential microstructure and mechanical properties information for optimizing the heat treatment process of the AM processed GTD222.

In order to obtain good TaN film transducer and reduce its ignition voltage, the influence of the setting position and cooling method of the heat treatment process on the TaN film transducer were compared and analyzed. By measuring the square resistivity, SEM and XRD, the performance of the film before and after heat treatment were characterized. The ignition voltage of the TaN film transducer was tested, and the results showed that the ignition voltage of the heat-treated TaN film transducer could be reduced a lot. It provided a technical way for the micro-energy of MEMS pyrotechnics.
