A new group of Z n - Al alloys suitable for casting was developed in the late sixties, These alloys are
ZA - 8 , ZA - 12 and ZA – 27, where the numbers represent the approximate percentage of aluminum in the alloy. These alloys compete with cast iro
n and copper alloys and aluminum alloys. ZA – 27 alloy is characterized by the biggest strength and lowest density alloy from the rest of ZA alloys. It has
good physical and mechanical properties (good strength, good cast ability, ease of machining, good wear properties and high corrosion resistance).
This research is aimed to study the effect of heat treatment on mechanical properties as well as to improve the wear properties of ZA-27alloy.
Heat treatment of type T4 was applied on ZA-27 alloy (This treatment was done by heating the alloy
to a temperature equal to 370 oC for a period of 3 or 5 hours and then immersion in water followed by
natural aging for 30 days).
Wear testing has been made by using dry sliding test of pin samples on the disk - ZA – 27 alloy after
casting without any treatment and wear tests were performed on heat treated ZA – 27 alloy samples.
The microstructure of the alloy after casting and after heat treatment was examined and the effect of
the microstructure on the wear behavior was studied.
The hardness and tensile strength of heat treated samples were reduced while elongation was increased
compared with alloy after casting. The rate of decrease of hardness was equal to 34.7 %, which is
consistent with solutionizing period. On the contrary, the increase in the solutionizing period decreases strength and increases elongation. The study shows also that the heat treated samples have achieved a significant improvement on wear properties compared to the samples after casting without heat treatment
This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Tissue Culture, Faculty of Agriculture, Tishreen University. Because of the importance of the food and economic of chickpea, two Winter chickpea cultivars (Ghab 4, Ghab 5) and two Vernal chickpea culti
vars were used (ILC263, ILC1929) and planted in pots until flowering, so the floral buds were picked before opened and washed with distilled water and alcohol three times. Anthers were separated and treated at preliminary temperatures (4 Cْ for 48 hours, and 35 Cْ for 12 hours), then it washed with a solution of hypochlorite of sodium( Naocl 2%) for a period of 15 minute, and washed with distilled sterilized water ,then where planted on the environment Murashige and Skoog ( MS) equipped with 1, 3 and 5 mg/L of auxin 2,4, D, as well as 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 mg /L of Cytokinin Benzyl Amino Purine( BAP) individually and with interaction between them and incubated under conditions of 27 Cْ and 75% of the humidity and the intensity of 1500 Lux of light for 16 hours. The main objective of research was to study the effect of both preliminary heating treatment , quality and concentration of used hormone on producing callus from used chickpea cultivars anthers. Results showed difference in cultivars response in the treatment of both temperature and single hormone, so Ghab 5 cultivar was the most responsive to the formation of callus, while the results indicated that the highest percentage of the formation of callus was 40% when treated at 4 Cْ of Ghab 4 and Ghab 5 cultivars, while ILC263 cultivar showed less response in all the individual treatments for growth regulators.
As well as results showed that the significant and catalyst role for using of hormones together with heat treatment, where each of Ghab 5, Ghab 4 and ILC1929 cultivars were the superiority, by the arrival of the percentage of 80% and 60%, respectively.
The aim of this investigation is studying effect of heat treatment and polyethylene packaging method in storability and quality of lemon fruits' Monachello and Enterdonato'. The experience was carried out in cold store of agriculture college in /Dama
scus university/, lemon fruits were stored at 10°c and 85% humidity for 180 days. laboratory experiences was carried out in laboratory of department of horticultural science in the same college during 2010-2011&2011-2012. Part of fruits were packaged in polyethylene bags with 30 microns, the other part of fruits dipped with hot water (62°c for 3 seconds)+ fungicide then were packed in polyethylene packs in addition to the control which untreated and unpacked.
The obtained results indicated the significant effect of dipping and packaging in perforated and unperforated bags treatments in maintain fruits quality of 'Monachello and Enterdonato' until the end of storage. maintaining of (32.89 and 39.06%( juice rate of Monachello respectively, and(11.05 and10.01%) of Enterdonato respectively. (35.27 and 36.57 mg/100ml (vitamin C of Monachello and (18 and11.07mg/100 ml( of Enterdonato, respectively.
On the other hand, the present investigation showed the positive effect of packaging treatment with 30 microns packs by reducing the weight loss for two sorts which was (51.94 and 68.83%) in dipping and packaging in perforated bags treatment respectively, and the important role to stop fruit decadence, and conserve their marketing specification until end of storage.

rolling process.
Aluminum alloys have got extreme industrial importance since 19th century
until now. They enter into several light and heavy industries. aluminum is
hardened by impurity due to industrial application. In this study, aluminumcupper
alloys (with 0.5
% Mg) were prepared, where cupper amount was added
to aluminum in different percentages (2.5%,4%,4.5%) ,no overtaking degree of
saturation 6% of the weight of cupper. After adding definite percentage of
cupper to aluminum, the compounds are fusioned for complete blending, where
cupper atoms diffuse into aluminum. Samples are infusioned by definite
methods and circumstances. The prepared alloys were thermally treated during
8-30 hours for hardening. In this research we will concentrate on the influence
of cupper content on hardening of aluminum and other basic conditions, which
are needed to obtain higher hardness for aluminum alloys.
A new system was designed in portable plants-eater to improve the performance and
productivity and for using it in the harsh environment containing like-cane dense brushes
with high efficiency, quality and lowest power requirement and to harvest so
me crops are
grown in small areas. The new system includes three types: link chain, straight blades
chain and oblique blades chain, each chain is fixed on central aluminum disk. the three
chains were tested on tensile, the results were satisfactory. The cutters was tested in the
field on four types of stalk Wheat, Yellow Maize, Sorghum Helpenese and imperata
cylindrical. Cutting force, productivity, fuel consumption, power requirement was
calculated with deferent rotation speeds. The straight blades chain has the best cutting
quality and lowest energy requirement on maize and sorghum halepense, the oblique
blades chain was better on wheat and imperata cylindrical. The greatest values of energy
requirement and cutting forces appeared with link chain cutter-head. In general, these
cutter-heads are useable in weed-eater with higher efficiency than the old designs.

A computational model of the fatigue crack initiation period on the helical gears
,with consideration of the heat treatment by carburization and friction effects, is presented.
In order to calculate the number of stress cycles required for the appe
arance of the initial
cracks, and study the influence of dynamic behavior. For this end, a dynamic model of gear
with two freedom degrees in torsion developed in Matlab and fatigue criteria are used. The
computational results are compared with those obtained using strain- life method. The
obtained results show that appearance of initial fatigue crack depends strongly on the
friction coefficient between the surfaces, heat treatment, and on the dynamic load.
