The effect of $Al_2Ca$ on the oxidation resistance and tensile property of Al-5Mg alloys was investigated. According to the TGA (Thermogravimetric analysis) result at $550^{\circ}C$ after 24hrs, the Al-5Mg alloy showed parabolic behavior with weight gain. On the other hand, there was almost no difference in the weight changes of the $Al_2Ca$ added Al-5Mg alloys during the oxidation. It was thought that the improvement of oxidation resistance in $Al_2Ca$ added Al-5Mg alloys might be due to the formation of a protective oxide layer with CaO and MgO on the surface. The microstructures of the alloys showed grain refinement with an increasing $Al_2Ca$ content. From the tensile test, the yield strength of the alloys were improved with an increasing $Al_2Ca$ content. The 0.07 mass%$Al_2Ca$ added Al-5Mg alloy showed similar elongation and increased strength, simultaneously. It was considered that the addition of $Al_2Ca$, which was superior in the oxidation resistance of Al, reduced the formation of Mg oxides and inclusions during the alloying. This, partly led to the improvement of tensile properties.

Oxidation behavior of CaO added Mg and Mg-5Al alloys was investigated. At $500^{\circ}C$, oxidation rate of pure Mg was abruptly increased, while that of CaO added Mg was remarkably reduced with increasing CaO content. As a result of surface analysis by AES, there was the thin oxide layer mixed with MgO and CaO in CaO added Mg. Oxidation behavior of CaO added Mg was similar to that of Ca added Mg. Oxidation rate of 0.6CaO added Mg-5Al alloy was much lower than that of Mg-5Al alloy at $500^{\circ}C$ and both alloys showed the linear weight change at $400^{\circ}C$.

The reactivity of three kinds of spinels which CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 slag was investigated in terms of mineral phases and microstructures. New crystal products were not formed by reaction of 12CaO.7Al2O3 in the slag with spinels and free MgO components was preferenctially dissolved into slag for MgO-rich spinel and stoichiometric spinel. Meanwhile mineral phase was changed from 12CaO.7Al2O3 to CaO.Al2O3 to CaO.2Al2O3 finally to CaO.6Al2O3 having high melting point for Al2O3 -rich spinel. The Fe-oxide component of the slag was taken up by only stoichiometric spinel grains within the spinel clinker and the trapped amount of Fe-oxide was independent of MgO content of MgO in spinel clinker the more th resistance to slag corrosion but the less resistance to slag penetration.

In the present work, the effect of adding Ce on the corrosion behavior of Mg-4Al-2Sn-1Ca alloy was investigated. The studied alloys were fabricated by gravity casting method and a potentiodynamic polarization, A.C. impedance and hydrogen evolution tests were carried out in a 3.5% NaCl solution with pH 7.2 at room temperature to measure the corrosion properties of Mg-4Al-2Sn-1Ca-xCe alloys. The microstructure of the Mg-4Al-2Sn-1Ca alloy was composed of ${\alpha}$-Mg, Mg17Al12, Mg2Sn and CaMgSn phase. Also, a $Al_{11}Ce_3$ phase was newly formed by the addition of Ce. With an increase of the Ce contents, the microstructure became refined and the corrosion resistance improved.

This study investigated the microstructure, tensile strength, and high cycle fatigue properties of ADC12 aluminum alloys with different $Mg+Al_2Ca$ contents manufactured using die casting process. Microstructural observation identified the presence of ${\alpha}-Al$, eutectic Si, $Al_2Cu$, and Fe-intermetallic phases. The increase of $Mg+Al_2Ca$ content resulted in finer pore size and decreased pore distribution. Room temperature tensile strength tests were conducted at strain rate of $1{\times}10^{-3}/sec$. For 0.6%Mg ADC12, measured UTS, YS, and El were 305.2MPa, 157.0MPa, and 2.7%, respectively. For 0.8%Mg ADC12, measured UTS, YS, and El were 311.2 MPa, 159.4 MPa, and 2.4%, respectively. Therefore, 0.8% ADC12 alloy had higher strength and slightly decreased elongation compared to 0.6% Mg ADC12. High cycle fatigue tests revealed that 0.6% Mg ADC12 alloy had a fatigue limit of 150 MPa while 0.8% Mg ADC12 had a fatigue limit of 160MPa. It was confirmed that $Mg+Al_2Ca$ added ADC12 alloy achieved finer, spherical eutectic Si particles, and $Al_2Cu$ phases with greater mechanical and fatigue properties since size and distribution of pores and shrinkage cavities decreased as $Mg+Al_2Ca$ content increased.

알루미나 고상소결체와 $CaMgSiO_4$간의 반응에 따른 반응상들의 성장 및 용해 거동을 $1600^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 시간을 변화하여 고찰하였다. 열처리시 알루미나는 $CaMgSiO_4$ 액상에 용융되어 중간에 반응상인 $CaO{\cdot}6Al_2O_3$와 최종 반응상인 $CaMgSiO_4$ 스피넬 형성이 관찰되었다. 중간상인$CaO{\cdot}6Al_2O_3$ 결정은 성장 모양과 용해 모양이 뚜렷하게 구분되었다.

Molten magnesium alloys and magnesium products are easily oxidized and burned when they are exposed to high temperature for manufacturing process and by accident. In order to solve these problems, CaO addition in magnesium alloys has been developed. The ignition resistance of CaO added Mg-3Al, Mg-6Al, and Mg-9Al Eco-Mg alloys were investigated in comparison with those of magnesium alloys without CaO. The ignition resistance was examined by three methods : DTA, furnace chip ignition test, and torch ignition test. DTA was carried out for obtaining quantitative ignition temperature data with respect to specimen geometry and test environment; the furnace ignition test for burr and chip ignition temperature data; and the torch test for ignition temperature data for manufactured products. The ignition resistance of magnesium alloys under all conditions greatly increased by CaO addition.

본 연구에서는 AC-PDP의 MgO박막의 특성을 개선하기 위하여 MgO재료에 $Al_2O_3$, CaO, BaO도핑을 하여 MgO 박막을 증착하였다. $Al_2O_3$, CaO, BaO가 도핑된 MgO 박막의 기초특성을 실험하였고 AC-PDP에서 면방전 구동시 휘도 및 효율의 개선과 대항방전 구동에서의 방전지연을 개선하였다. 특히, $Al_2O_3$ 200ppm, CaO 200ppm 일때 효율의 상승, CaO 200ppm, BaO 100ppm 일 때 방전늦음이 개선되었다. 이는 MgO재료에 $Al_2O_3$, CaO, BaO등 여러가지 재료의 도핑시에는 적정의 도핑함량이 있는 것으로 보여진다.

Rapidly solidified Mg-Al-Si base alloys containing Ca were obtained by melt spinning. The melt-spun ribbons were aged isochronally or isothermally to investigate age hardening phenomena and microstructural change according to the alloy composition. Age hardening occurred after aging at $200^{\circ}C$ for 1h mainly due to the precipitation of $Al_2Ca$ and $Mg_2Ca$, which have coherent interfaces with the matrix. With the increase of Ca content, the hardness values of the alloy ribbons were increased. Among the alloys, Mg-10Al-2 Si-3Ca alloy showed a good thermal stability at elevated temperature.

Representative magnesium alloys applied to the die-casting are AZ91, AM60, etc., and the application of these alloys is restricted to components operating at moderate temperatures, due to grain boundary siding of ${\beta}$-phase($Mg_{17}Al_{12}$) at temperatures above $120^{\circ}C$. Heat-resistant magnesium alloys such as AE42, AE44 have been developed, but that have been too burdensome to produce because of the expensive rare earth materials. Research work for the development of low-priced heat-resistant magnesium alloy is actively in progress and positive results are being reported. This study aims to investigate the effect of Ca additions on mechanical properties of Mg-4Al-2Sn heat resistant magnesium alloys. Mg-4Al-2Sn alloys with Ca (0wt.%, 0.3wt.%, 0.7wt.%, 1wt.%) have been produced through the die-casting process for the development of low-priced heat-resistant magnesium alloy, and high temperature tensile tests are performed using the specimens. The results showed that mechanical properties of Mg-4Al-2Sn-xCa increased with the addition of Ca up to 0.7wt.% Ca and further addition of Ca deteriorated the mechanical properties of the alloys. A significant amount of porosity was observed at the sample with 1wt%. Ca and the longer freezing range of the alloy was believed to cause the formation of porosity.
