Abstract

자동차 및 항공기 부품용 고온 다이캐스팅 마그네슘 합금에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 알루미늄을 주된 합금원소로 하여 희토류원소나 알칼리토금속 등을 첨가하는 3원계 합금 및 각 원소들을 조합하는 4원계 합금이 개발되었다. 이들 합금의 크립 저항성은 금속간 상에 의한 결정 입계 강화에 기인한다. 그 동안의 합금조성 개발의 핵심은 결정 입계의 이동을 유발하여 고온 변형을 유발하는 고온 불안정 석출상의 생성을 억제하는 것이었다. Mg-Al계 합금에 희토류원소를 첨가하면 고온 안정상의 생성으로 고온 특성이 향상되지만 희토류원소의 경제성이 단점이다. 고비용의 희토류원소를 대신하기 위해 알칼리토금속을 첨가하는 합금 및 이들 원소를 조합하는 합금이 개발되었다. 본고에서는 알칼리토금속을 첨가할 경우에 발생하는 생산성의 저하 등의 단점을 보완하는 알칼리토금속산화물이 첨가된 합금을 소개하였는데 이는 1) 비고용성 2) 융점유지 3) 주조성유지 4) 재활용성 5) 경제성 등의 특징이 있다.
