Abstract
The degree to which parameters affect the spheroidization heat treatment of steel was calculated by setting the spheroidization heat treatment conditions of Cr-Mo steel and using data analysis such as S/N ratio and ANOVA. After analyzing the transformation temperatures of the steel, A_c1 and A_c3 , using a DSC, the..... More

Abstract
The effects of Mg content and cooling rate on the T5 treatment of Al-Si-Mg alloys have been investigated using Avrami kinetics and transmission electron microscopy. The alloys were super-heated at 800 ^oC for 1 hr followed by degassing treatment at 720 ^oC for 15 min, and poured into a metallic..... More

Abstract
In this study, we fabricated transparent heaters composed of an ultrathin Cu-layer heating element sandwiched between a ZnO underlayer and an Al₂O₃ overlayer. With the Cu layer thickness fixed at 8.5 nm, the thicknesses of the ZnO and Al₂O₃ layers were independently varied to reach the optimum antireflecting condition (maximum..... More

Abstract
Cu₃Sb_1–x–yGe_xIn_ySe₄ (0.02 ≤ x ≤ 0.12; 0.04 ≤ y ≤ 0.08) permingeatite compounds doped with Ge and In were prepared using solid-state synthesis. The phases and microstructures were analyzed, and the charge transport and thermoelectric properties were evaluated according to the Ge and In doping content. Most of the samples..... More

Abstract
Wearable strain sensors with high and broad sensitivity, high stretchability and excellent mechanical endurance will be widely useful in smart wearable electronics. In this work, we developed a stretchable strain sensor fabricated with a simple stencil printing technique. The stretchable strain sensor was fabricated using a multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-Ecoflex..... More

Abstract
MgO nanowires were grown by a thermal evaporation method at different N₂/O₂ gas ratios in order to investigate the effect of oxygen concentration on the growth and luminescence properties of the MgO nanowires. A thermal evaporation process was conducted at 1000^oC and under a pressure of 500Torr. No nanowires were..... More

Abstract
Employing post-combustion technology in the converter, using the sensible heat of the hot metal and the oxidation reaction heat as a heat source, is known to compensate for insufficient heat in the converter process. However, most studies on post-combustion have been conducted using subsonic nozzles, whereas actual converter processes use..... More

Abstract
A356 cast aluminum alloy contains 7 at.% Si and 0.3 at.% Mg, producing an approximately 50% eutectic microstructure. This high Si content and various casting conditions play a significant role in strengthening A356 alloy, by controlling the eutectic morphology and precipitates of other intermetallic compounds. Understanding how Si-related precipitates and..... More

Abstract
The physical properties of metal-based structural materials, such as hardness, strength and toughness, are directly or indirectly affected by residual stress inside or on the surface of the given part. Repeated rapid heating and cooling during the additive manufacturing process causes thermal gradients and expansion and contraction in the material,..... More
