TiO2 films were prepared by sol-gel method with butyl titanate, anhydrous ethanol, acetyl acetone and hydrochloric acid as raw materials, which were sintered at 380 °C and 530 °C respectively to obtain TiO2 films. XRD was used for analyzing the crystal structure of TiO2 film, and ImageJ software was used to detect the light transmittance of TiO2 film samples. The results show that the film sintered at 530 °C is brookite structure and the film sintered at 380 °C is anatase structure. The increase of sintering temperature is not conducive to the growth of TiO2 film grains. TiO2 films sintered at 380 °C have good light transmittance.

In order to improve the plasticity of the Al–Mg alloy, which fabricated by continuous casting and rolling, the alloy was heat treated at 370 °C, 400 °C, 430 °C and 460 °C for 2 hours and cooled with the furnace. The microstructure and mechanical properties of heat-treated Al–Mg alloy under different heat treatment temperatures were analyzed. The results show that the columnar grains begin to disappear at heat treatment temperature of 460 °C. The size of equiaxed grains begins to increase as the heat treatment temperature increases. The tensile strength of the alloy decreases with the increase of heat treatment temperature and the Brinell hardness increases when the heat treatment temperature is between 370-430 °C. At heat treatment of 430 °C, the elongation and the Brinell hardness of the alloy reached to 42.91% and 70.5 HB, respectively.
