Effects of annealing treatment after equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) on the interface properties and shear bond strength of Al/Cu bimetallic rods were investigated. For the as-deformed samples, the one with two passes of ECAP indicated higher shear bond strength. Formation of a layer of intermetallic compounds after annealing treatment is confirmed. In general, by increasing annealing tem...

We found that the extinction coefficient of ion-beam-sputtered titanium dioxide films first decreased with increasing annealing temperature then increased drastically when annealing temperature was increased above ~200 degrees C for 24 h of annealing time. The decreasing extinction coefficient with annealing temperature was attributed to a reduction in absorption owing to oxidation of the film ...

ZnO thin films were deposited on Si(400) substrates by e-beam evaporation technique, and then post-annealed at different annealing temperatures (200-800°C). Dependence of the crystallographic structure, nano-strain, chemical composition and surface physical Morphology of these layers on annealing temperature were studied. The crystallographic structure of films was studied using X-Ray Diffracti...

indium tin oxide (ito) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by rf sputtering using an ito ceramic target (in2o3-sno2, 90-10 wt. %). after deposition, samples were annealed at different temperatures in vacuum furnace. the post vacuum annealing effects on the structural, optical and electrical properties of ito films were investigated. polycrystalline ito films have been analyzed in wide...

The Zn1-xCuxO (x=6.27%) films under different annealing were prepared by the sol-gel method on grass. Using the X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy to study the influence of annealing on the microstructure and surface morphology of the film, the result of which shows that the annealing temperature did not change the wurtzite structure of ZnO and the film density under 400 degree an...

in the present study, the mechanical behavior of aa5052 aluminum alloy during cold deformation and subsequent isothermal annealing in a temperature range of 225-300oc was investigated using the uniaxial tensile test data. it is found that by increasing the annealing time and temperature the material yield strength is decreased. the microstructural investigations of the annealed samples show tha...

NiCrAlY coating was prepared on a stainless steel substrate by an arc ion plating machine and the annealing experiments were carried out at different temperatures using a tube furnace. The effects of annealing temperatures on the morphology, structure, chemical composition and phase structure of the coating were characterized by SEM, EDS and XRD, respectively. The change of microstructure is di...

The In2S3 thin film is prepared using sulfurate method under a vacuum in a sealed tube of amorphous indium thin film. The later film is pre-deposited on glass with thermal evaporation. We have studied the effect of the temperature and the annealing time on the structural and morphological properties In2S3 thin films. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows a good crystallinity found until the anneali...

Comparative study of optimization methods for estimation sea surface temperature and ocean wind with microwave radiometer data is conducted. The well known mesh method (Grid Search Method: GSM), regressive method, and simulated annealing method are compared. Surface emissivity is estimated with the simulated annealing and compared to the well known Thomas T. Wilheit model based emissivity. On t...
