Abstract
The change in reflectivity of Cu-Zn alloys was investigated with the modulation of Zn content. The reflectivity of the prepared alloys were compared with pure copper and divided into wavelength regions corresponding to blue, green, yellow, and red colors. As the amounts of Zn increased, the difference in reflectivity of..... More

Abstract
The drive towards weight reduction in the automotive industry has led to the use of high strength steel sheets for structural applications. Pressing and stamping are important processes in automotive production and result in additional straining on the vehicle body and chassis sheet material. It is therefore important to have..... More

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of manufacturing conditions, such as patenting temperature and drawing strains, on the tensile fracture behaviors, especially on reduction of area (RA), of hyper-eutectoid steel wire. Steel wires with the chemical compositions of Fe-0.92C-1.3Si-0.6Mn-0.3Cr (wt%), were austenitized at 900 °C for 3 min and isothermally transformed..... More

Abstract
Rhenium coatings were fabricated on a graphite substrate at 1100 and 1250 ^oC and a molybdenum substrate at 1150 and 1250 ^oC by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using ReCl5 precursor, and the effects of deposition temperatures and substrates on microstructure and crystal orientation were investigated. The rhenium coating on graphite..... More

Abstract
The optimum acid cleaning conditions for removing CaO formed by the reaction of Ca with Ti powder were investigated in this study. In this experiment, we used Ti powders composed of irregular polygonal Ti particles with average sizes of 125 mm and 250 μm. Ca granules were charged at 50%..... More

Abstract
Material parameters, extracted from mechanical behavior in a uniaxial direction without considering anisotropy in the rolling direction, are commonly used when doing forming analysis. However, when these material parameters are used for the forming analysis of a material which has large anisotropy, inaccurate analysis results can be obtained. In this..... More

Abstract
In this study, the effects of hot forging and heat treatment (quenching and tempering) of cast Cr alloy steel on the microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated. The hot forging was performed at a compressive ratio 0.5 at 1,250 ^oC. The heat treatment process was quenching (860 ^oC for 2..... More

Abstract
To ensure the reliability of high-power light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs, temperature management is very important, including reduction of the junction temperature on the LED chip and enhancing outward thermal dissipation. Simulation can be an effective tool for predicting the temperature distribution over all bulbs, which enables a quantitative analysis. In..... More

Abstract
The optimal design of electrical initiation devices for explosive charges and other high energy materials critically depends on the bridge burst or the electrical explosion of the thin-film metallic bridges. It is therefore quite important to select the right material with suitable explosion properties for the metallic bridge film. However,..... More

Abstract
Samples with compositions of 99 w/o MgH₂+1 w/o Zn(BH₄)₂ (designated MgH_2-1Zn(BH₄)₂) and 96 w/o MgH₂+2 w/o Zn(BH₄)₂₊2 w/o Ni (designated MgH_2-2Zn(BH₄)_2-2Ni) were prepared by milling in a planetary ball mill in a hydrogen atmosphere (reaction-involving milling). The hydrogen release properties of MgH_2- 1Zn(BH₄)₂ and MgH_2-2Zn(BH₄)_2-2Ni were compared. A larger quantity..... More
