Abstract
This paper discusses a molybdenum-added alloy design for normalized pressure vessel steels, to reduce hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) and inhibit crack propagation. The change in microstructure produced by the modified alloy composition was analyzed to determine its effect on HIC characteristics. The microstructural change was observed by optical microscopy, hardness..... More

Abstract
Laser nitriding is a surface engineering technique that is being used on titanium alloys to improve their surface hardness and wear resistance. It is an attractive process because of its simplicity and the possibility of producing hard layers of substantial depth with minimum effect to the bulk of the material...... More

Abstract
Alloy design of 9Cr-1Mo-V-Nb weld metals was carried out through thermodynamic simulation, and elevated temperature tensile testing was performed on the designed alloy. Based on the thermodynamic simulation of the 9Cr-1Mo-V-Nb weld metal, 0.09 to 0.10 wt% C was added to increase Cr-rich M₂₃C₆. Nitrogen was reduced from 0.04 to..... More

Abstract
In this study, the post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) cracking susceptibility in the heat affected zone (HAZ) of martensitic 10Cr steel was evaluated. The specimens taken from the 10Cr steel were thermally cycled using a Gleeble to simulate HAZ 1 (δ-ferrite) and HAZ 2 (single phase, γ). HAZ 2 had martensite..... More

Abstract
We investigated the effect of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) temperature report on oxygendeficient rutile TiO_2-x thin-film transistors deposited by RF magnetron sputtering. Amorphous TFTs that use TiO_2-x semiconductors as an active layer can be fabricated by low-temperature process and show remarkable electrical performance. The RTA post-annealing process provides greater production..... More

Abstract
In this study, a CuO buffer layer was deposited on a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate using a spin coating method, and then a CuO photoelectrode was grown on the CuO buffer layer using a modified-chemical bath deposition (M-CBD) method. We investigated the morphological, structural, optical, electrical and photoelectrochemical properties..... More

Abstract
The photovoltaic properties of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) were investigated by adding graphene oxide (GO) to the electron transport layer of TiO₂. The PSCs were fabricated with a glass/FTO/BL-TiO₂/meso-TiO₂ + GO/perovskite/HTL/Au electrode structure by adding various contents of GO (0.0, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 wt%) to the TiO₂ layer. To..... More

Abstract
In this work, the angular distribution of the sputtered Cu flux in a long throw sputtering (LTS) system is extracted from the comparison of experimentally-measured profiles of deposited films with simulated profiles of films in overhang contact structure. And effects of the sputtering process parameters such as Ar pressure during..... More

Abstract
The evolution of microstructure and mechanical characteristics during the rejuvenation of a hot gas pass component of a gas turbine was investigated with an actual service-exposed bucket in a power plant. Heat treatment and hot isostatic pressing processes were conducted to rejuvenate a hot gas pass component of a F..... More
