In dry machining, the tool-chip interface temperature is a critical factor affecting the engineering performance of WC–Co tools. As the temperature variation of the cutting tool in dry machining is similar to that in annealing process, the effect of tool-chip interface temperature on the mechanical properties of cutting tool materials in dry machining can be studied by means of annealing experi...

The effect of short-time and long-time annealing at 250 • C on the conductivity, hole density, and Curie temperature of GaMnAs single layers and GaMnAs/InGaMnAs heterostructures is studied by in-situ conductivity measurements as well as Raman and SQUID measurements before and after annealing. Whereas the conductivity monotonously increases with increasing annealing time, the hole density and th...

In the current study, the recrystallization behavior of 75% cold-rolled Fe-22Mn-10Al-1.4C steel during annealing at 750, 770, 790, 810, and 830°C was studied. X-ray diffraction patterns and optical microscopy were used to characterize microstructures. The Vickers Micro-hardness test was used to characterize recrystallization kinetics during annealing. Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) model...

Temperature is the control parameter of Simulated Annealing, one of the best-known local search optimisation algorithms. Scheduling the temperature evolution during optimisation is a crucial component of simulated annealing. We propose to elect acceptance probability as a new control parameter of simulated annealing. The concept of imposing a schedule to acceptance probability throughout optimi...

The optimal cooling schedule for simulated annealing is formulated to derive a differential equation for the time-dependent temperature T(t). Based on this equation, the long-term behavior of T(t), entropy production, and the Kullback-Leibler entropy are studied. For some simple examples, such as a many-level system and the small scale traveling salesman problem, the explicit time dependence of...

The temperature stability of field induced uniaxial anisotropy KU was investigated by thermomagnetic treatments of Co1−xFex 89Zr7B4 amorphous ribbons after field annealing below and above the crystallization temperature. We conclude: 1 Field annealing treatments are necessary to properly investigate the temperature stability of KU, 2 KU of field crystallized alloys exhibit improved temperature ...

Functional energy storage and return prosthetic and orthotic devices have been manufactured out of Nylon 11 using selective laser sintering due to its high ductility and energy return properties. However, there is concern that material voids caused by incomplete sintering may compromise material properties and lead to premature fracture. Post-build annealing has the potential to eliminate voids...

Photoelectrodes made of submicrometer-sized aggregates of ZnO nanocrystallites coated with TiO2 layer by atomic layer deposition with different annealing temperatures were investigated for dye-sensitized solar cells. Although the annealing at 350 C is commonly used for the ZnO aggregates in order to preserve the desired large surface area and mesoporous structure, the presence of ALD-TiO2 layer...
