Abstract
Abstract: Strength at elevated temperatures and thermal shock resistance of austempered ductile
irons at high temperatures has been less intentioned, because of instability of ausferrite phase. In
this research the tensile properties of this iron and pearlitic ductile cast iron have been
investigated by short time high temperature tensile tests. Also thermal shock tests were done at
the molten lead bath at 1000 C . In these experiments, at first samples were immersed partially in
the molten lead bath for 25 seconds and then either cooled in air or quenched in water. Results of
short time high temperature tensile and thermal shock tests showed that ADI samples have higher
strength and shock resistance than the pearlitic ductile samples.

Abstract
Abstract: The use of alkali-activated cementitious materials especially over the past decades has
significantly been increased. The goal of this research is to investigate the effects of silica modulus
and alkali concentration on alkali-activation of blast-furnace slag. In this research, the most
important physical characteristics of cementitious systems, i.e. the 28-day compressive strength
and final setting time, were studied by changing influencing parameters such as silica modulus,
i.e. SiO2/Na2O, (0.44, 0.52, 0.60, and 0.68) and Na2O concentration (4, 6, 8 and 10% by weight of
dry binder) at a constant water-to-dry binder ratio of 0.25. Final setting time of the studied
systems varies in the range between 55-386 minutes. The obtained results show that systems cured
at an atmosphere of more than 95% relative humidity at room temperature exhibit relatively high
28-day compressive strengths up to 107 MPa.

Abstract
The effects of lower bainite volume fraction on tensile and impact properties of D6AC ultrahigh strength steel were studied in the current work. To obtain mixed microstructures containing martensite and different volume fractions of the lower bainite, specimens were austenitized at 910° C, then quenched in a salt bath of 330°C for different holding times, finally quenched in oil. In order to obtain fully martensitic and bainitic microstructures, direct oil quenching and isothermal transformation heat treatment for 24 hours were used respectively. All specimens were double tempered at 200°C for 2 hours per tempered. Microstructures were examined by optical and scanning electron microscopes. Fracture morphologies were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results showed that both yield and ultimate tensile strength generally decreased with an increase in volume fraction of lower bainite. However, a few exceptions were observed in the mixed microstructures containing 12% lower bainite, showing a higher strength than the fully martensitic microstructure. This can be explained on the basis of two factors. The first is an increase in the strength of martensite due to the partitioning of the prior austenite grains by lower bainite resulting in the refinement of martensite substructures. The second is a plastic constraint effect leading to an enhanced strength of lower bainite by the surrounding relatively rigid martensite. Charpy V-notch impact energy and ductility is improved with increasing the volume fraction of lower bainite.

Abstract
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 temperature, thickness of intermetallic compounds at the interface increases. Shear bond strength was initially reduced by annealing at 200, 250 and 300 ͦ C and increased at 350 ͦ C. With further increase in annealing temperature to 400 ͦ C, shear bond strength slightly decreased which is correlated to the increased thickness of the intermetallic compounds.
