Abstract
Al 3003 alloy was manufactured by strip casting process, and the effect of post heat-treatment on tensile and fatigue properties was investigated. The strip cast Al 300 alloy exhibited a unique globular shaped rapid-cooled solidification structure, and the microstructural characteristic remained after heat-treatment. Asstrip cast (F) and heat-treated (O) alloys..... More

Abstract
A superelastic titanium alloy was subjected to uniaxial tensile deformation at room temperature. The microstructural evolution and deformation mechanisms of the superelastic titanium alloy were investigated by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Multiple deformation mechanisms including stress-induced martensitic transformation (SIMT), dislocation slip, {332}<113> and {112}<111> mechanical twinning..... More

Abstract
The effects of alloy composition on the coating structure and corrosion resistance of hot-dip Znbased alloy coated steel products were investigated. Zn-based alloy coating layers with different Al and Mg compositions were fabricated using a batch-type galvanizing simulator. Various intermetallic compounds including Zn, Zn/MgZn₂ binary eutectic, Zn/Al binary eutectoid and..... More

Abstract
In recent automobile trends, the functions of opening and closing the vehicle door are accomplished by touch sensor and smart-phone NFC (Near Field Communication) systems. These convenience features are incorporated into the outdoor handle. However, this function can’t be used when chrome plating is applied to this part for design..... More

Abstract
Quarternay carbides of Ti₃Al_xSi_1-xC₂ (x=0.3, 0.5, and 0.7) were oxidized at 400, 600, and 800 °C for 0.5-6 months in order to study their long-time oxidation behavior in air. When they were oxidized at 400-600 ^oC for 0.5-3 months, oxidation proceeded relatively slowly with moderate weight gains. However, further oxidation..... More

Abstract
Transparent conductive ZnO 50 nm/Ag 10 nm/SnO₂ 50 nm (ZAS) tri-layer films were deposited on glass substrates by magnetron sputtering, and then the surface was subjected to intense electron beam irradiation to investigate the effects of electron irradiation on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of the films. After deposition,..... More

Abstract
In this study, the effect of post annealing time on the physical properties of NiTe₂ thin films with 2D structure deposited by co-sputtering was investigated. After heat treatment for 10 min, nickel ditelluride thin films with a composition of Ni : Te = 1 : 2 exhibited transmittance of 46%..... More

Abstract
Anti-reflective (AR) coatings are popular because they offer high durability with effective reflectance and glare reduction, and they can endure both physical and environmental damage. Magnesium fluoride (MgF₂) has been used as a nanoparticle coating on AR coating materials by many researchers because they exhibit high transmittance and antireflection characteristics..... More

Abstract
Materials with very small dimensions exhibit different physical and mechanical properties compared to their bulk counterparts. This becomes significantly important for the thin films that are widely used as components in micro-electronics and functional materials. In this study, a chromium (Cr) thin film was deposited on a silicon (Si) wafer..... More
