Abstract
The following work examines the growth rate and microstructure of the $AI_2O_3$-composite formation by melt oxdation of pentad AI-alloys. The I weight % of each metal elements Cu and Ni were added to AI-IMg-3Si-3Zn and AI-IMg- 3Si-5Zn alloys. The diffenent pentad AI-alloys were oxidized 20 hours long at 1373K and 1473K. The oxidation rates were determined by observing the weight gain. The macro- and microstructure of formed oxide layer were examined by optical microscopy. The AI-IMg-3Si-5Zn-lCu alloy revealed the best oxidation behavior, but formedoxide layer was inhomogeneous.The oxidation rate were accelerated, and the uniform growth of the oxide layer with fine microstructure were obtained by putting a thin layer of $SiO_2$ on the surface of the alloy.
오원계 AI-합금의 용융산화에 의한 $AI_2O_3$ 복합재료의 형성속도와 미세구조에 대하여 연구하였다. AI-1Mg-3Si-3Zn 합금과 AI-1Mg-3Si-5Zn합금에 Cu, Ni 각각을 1% 무게비로 첨가하였다. 각 오원계 합금은 1373K, 1473K에서 최대 20시간 동안 산화시켰으며, 산화속도는 무게증가 측정을 통하여 조사하였다. 산화층의거시적 형상과 미세구조를 광학현미경으로 관찰하였다. AI-1Mg-3Si-5Zn-1Cu 합금이 가장 우수한 산화거동을 보였으나, 산화층이 불균일하였다. 합금위에 $SiO_2$를 도포하였더니 산화속도가 증진되었으며, 균일하고 조직이 친밀한 산화층이 얻어졌다.
