We suggested an MgB joint process with its own heat-treatment schedule to apply it for our 1.5-T MgB "finger" MRI magnet. In fabricating the MgB magnet, the optimal heat-treatment schedule to attain a reproducible and high critical current is different in a joint and a coil. To solve this problem, we introduced an additional heating system, which is composed of a cartridge heater and a thermocouple connected with a copper block, into a box-type furnace. Then, we carried out heat-treatments with exclusively increasing the joint-part temperature above the Mg melting point of 645 °C-the joint was actually heated up to 700 °C. We evaluated a critical current and a crystal structure of the obtained MgB joint. From experimental results, we found that the joint heated with the own heat-treatment schedule, which is 700 °C for 1 h + 600 °C for 11 h, showed a good of over 450 A at 15K under self-field. The joint resistance was estimated by the coil operation for 18 days, and it was expected to be less than 10 Ω.

High phosphorus Ni-P coatings, both unreinforced and modified by the addition of alumina (AlO) and zirconia (ZrO) nanoparticles, were manufactured by electroless deposition technique and heat-treated with different temperature and duration schedules. The effect of dehydrogenation (200 °C for 2 h) and its combination with crystallization heat treatment was studied in terms of microstructural changes and wear resistance. The amorphous structure of the coatings was not altered by the introduction of both AlO and ZrO nanoparticles, and the addition of 1.

For exploring an effective heat treatment schedule to enhance the strength-plasticity balance of the ferrite-austenite 12CrNi2 alloy steel additively manufactured by directed energy deposition (DED), 12CrNi2 was heat-treated with deliberately designed direct quenching (DQ) and cyclic quenching (CQ), respectively, and the differently quenched steels were then tempered at a temperature from 200 °C to 500 °C. It was found that the CQ, in contrast to the DQ, led the 12CrNi2 to have significantly increased tensile strength without losing its plasticity, based on the introduction of fine-grained lath martensite and the {112}<111>-type nanotwins. The nanotwins were completely degenerated after the 200 °C tempering.

The glass system SiO-BO-NaO-ZnO containing 2 wt% CdS and 1 wt% ZnS was synthesized by the conventional melt quench method. Glass transition temperature and crystallization temperature was determined from Differential thermal analysis (DTA) measurement to optimize heat-treatment. The amorphous structure of the glass was confirmed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement.

The aim of this study was to present a control method for modulating the translucency of lithium disilicate ceramics through thermal refinement. Identical lithium disilicate blocks were thermally refined using four different heat treatment schedules, and the microstructure, translucency, and flexural strength of the ceramics were investigated in detail by SEM, spectroscopy, and a piston-on-three-ball test. The results showed that ceramics treated under higher heat had larger grains, with an average size between 240 and 1080 nm.
