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 iron 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

In this research, specimens of aluminum alloy 6061 were received, and chemical composition was investigated. After that solution heat treatment was applied on it at 530°C, a section of these specimens was quenched in water and anther quenched in oil, and two sections were aged at 160°C for times (1,3,5 h), and thus obtained six samples differ in condition of heat treatment in addition to as received specimen.
This research aims to study the effect of adding alloying elements and heat treatment of Zinc metal on solar energy absorbing , nine alloys ingots were manufactured by changing the percentages of added Aluminum and Copper on the pure Zinc, and thes e ratios of Aluminum were : (10% , 20% , 30% , 40 % , 50%) to demonstrate the effect of adding Aluminum to Zinc metal on solar energy absorbing , and ratios of copper were : (20% , 40%) , as well as we prepare two pure zinc samples with 99.2% of purity , one was rapidly cooled and the other slowly cooled , to demonstrate the effect of heat treatment on solar energy absorbing . In order to measure the solar energy absorbing for prepared samples , we manufactured a device depends on the methods of heat exchange between solar radiation and the surface exposed to radiation . The obtained results showed that adding Aluminum and Copper to the pure Zinc caused a decrease in solar energy absorbing . As well as increasing the percentages of adding Aluminum and Copper to the pure Zinc caused a gradually decrease in solar energy absorbing . comparing the absorbing of pure zinc samples, one was rapidly cooled and the other slowly cooled , the results showed that the sample was rapidly cooled was better than the sample slowly cooled on solar energy absorbing .
The aim of this work is to study the effect of the aging heat treatment on the pitting corrosion resistance of martensitic stainless steel. In this research a number of specimens from martensitic stainless steel were subjected to solution treatment a t 1050 for one hour followed by water quenching then aging in the temperatures range (400-750) for different holding times (1-16 hrs). After heat treatment, two types of corrosion tests (accelerated test and immersion test) were conducted. The results obtained in this research showed that the pitting corrosion resistance was affected by Aging temperature and three critical temperatures were found in corrosion test: the specimens aged at 475 0C had maximum corrosion rate. This may be due to the presence of stringer δ- ferrite and precipitation of very fine precipitates which precipitated heterogeneously in the martensitic matrix, which led to an increase in corrosion rate. The specimens aged at temperatures range (550 – 625) 0C had minimum values of corrosion rate, this is attributed to the high volume fraction of retained austenite. The specimens aged at temperatures above 625 had intermediate corrosion rate. The type of pits, which resulted from two pitting corrosion tests, was independent form the form of δ-ferrite and carbides which presence in microstructure.
We have studied in this paper the effect of thermal gaseous using NH3 – gas at some diffusion layers properties of tool steel 20 in temperature range (550 ,650 ,750, 850) 0C , 4h at each one . The purpose of this heat treatment is to get and determ ine the microhardness, fatigue and corrosion resistance. The micro-hardness was determined using Vickers's tester with values ranged between ( 130-435 ) HV. In order to verify these results, we studied the microstructure if the surface layers using metallurgical microscope and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). Furthermore the corrosion resistance was studied after immersing it in sea water for two year.
