Abstract
The effects of cooling after solution heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of light-weight steels were investigated using Fe^-30Mn^-xAl^-0.9C alloys containing 9.0–12.8 wt% Al. Lab^-scale specimens (thickness: 10 mm) of the alloys were cooled by different cooling rates from -337 to -0.053 ℃/s using water, air, and furnace..... More

Abstract
The authors report the fabrication of a flexible nickel brazing foil using powdered nickel alloy filler (BNi-2) mixed with an organic binder. The organic binder was composed of a polyacrylic acid polymer, glycol, carbon tetrachloride, and water as a dispersion medium for the powder. The brazing paste so formed was..... More

Abstract
In this research, we studied the effects of Ni, Ti, and B on the elastic modulus of hypereutectic Al-Si alloys and successfully synthesized 100 GPa Al casting alloys by designing various alloys phases. Generally, Al–Si based alloys are known in the automotive industry to be good casting alloys with high..... More

Abstract
The effect of pre-aging treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-0.6Mg-1.2Si aluminum alloy sheets fabricated by twin roll casting (TRC) was investigated. It was observed that two kinds of nanoclusters, cluster(1) and cluster(2), play an important role in the bake-hardening properties of Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy. The hardness of..... More

Abstract
This study investigated the microstructure and the ambient-elevated temperature compression and elevated temperature creep properties of Fe-14Cr ferritic ODS steel manufactured by mechanical alloying (high energy ball milling) and hot extrusion processes. Initial microstructural observation of the as-extruded material identified elongated grains in the direction of extrusion; however, some recrystallization..... More

Abstract
The effects of Nb on grain refinement and the pitting corrosion resistance of Fe_balance18Cr10 Mn0.3C0.3NxNb (x = 0.1 and 0.2 wt%) high interstitial alloys were investigated through microstructure analysis and potentiodynamic polarization tests. The resistance to pitting corrosion of the two alloys, covered with a passive film and an air-formed..... More

Abstract
To improve the hot-workability of free-machining austenitic stainless steel, we studied the effects of homogenization treatment, Mn/S ratio and the retained δ-ferrite on the hot-workability of 303 austenitic stainless steels. The reduction of area was measured as a function of homogenization temperature in the range of 1160-1250 ℃ and 1-50..... More

Abstract
Since strength and ductility have a trade-off relationship in Al alloys, controlling these properties using heat treatments requires careful attention to the dissolution and evolution of the reinforcing phases. In this study, the effects of solution and aging treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-5.2Si-3.4Cu-0.28Mg alloy were investigated...... More

Abstract
In the iron ore sintering process, a thermal imbalance can occur in the sinter feed bed which degrades the quality of the sintered ores. In order to solve this thermal imbalance, it is necessary to control the sizes of the sintering feed charging through the chute by designing an appropriate..... More

Abstract
The boron alkali molybdate glass system was investigated as lead-free low-temperature melting sealing materials, with different boron oxide contents between 0 and 8 mol%. The glasses were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and by densities. Their chemical properties were measured by their dissolution..... More
