자동차 중량의 경량화를 위한 몸체의 알루미늄화 추세는 최근 지구환경 보호측면에서도 필수적 이라 볼 수 있으며, 현재 사용하고 있는 강판과 비교하여 제조단가를 낮추고 강판의 스탬핑 성형 및 용접 . 조립라인에서 동등하게 고속 . 대량 생산이 가능한 생산기술을 구축하는 것이 알루미 늄에 의한 경량화를 꾀하기 위해 필요하다. 알루미늄판재의 스탬핑 성형성 확보를 위해서는 냉 연강판 수준의 기계적 성질의 확보, 금형 가공변수에 대한 최적 가공조건 확립과 알루미늄에 적합한 신 가공기술의 개발 등이 금후의 과제이다

각종 전자 및 산업용 기기, 수송기기류의 고성능화에 따라 다양한 특성을 갖는 합금판재에 대한 수요도 증가하여, 기존의 합금판재의 성질이외의 기능성이 추가된 새로운 판재 제조기술 확보의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 합금 설계 및 조직제어방법으로는 새로운 기능을 갖는 합금 판재의 개발에는 한계가 있으며 따라서 기존 특성이외에 여러 가지 기능성을 부여하는 판재의 제조를 위한 새로운 기술 개발이 요구되고 있다. 특히 경량재료로서 그 사용량이 계속 증가하고 있는 알루미늄 판재에 대하여 내 외부 층의 조성이 다른 합금으로 이루어진 다층 금속판재 제조방법을 도입함으로써 내식성, 열전도성, 브레이징성 등의 다양한 기능성이 부여된 알루미늄 판재의 제조가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 기능성을 갖는 다층 금속 복합판재를 제조하기위하여 압연접합기술을 적용하고 다양한 합금계의 조합을 통하여 기능성이 향상된 다층 알루미늄 판재를 제조하는 기술을 개발하였다. 먼저 경량 열교환기 제조에 사용되고 있는 브레이징용 알루미늄 클래드재 제조를 위하여 여러 가지 압연접합 조건에서 알루미늄 클래드 재를 효율적으로 제조하는 방법을 개발하였다. 또한 기존의 고강도 알루미늄 합금에 대하여 내 외부합금층을 달리하여 다층 알루미늄 판재를 제조하고 기계적 특성 변화을 평가하였으며 새로운 특성을 갖는 알루미늄 판재의 제조가능성을 타진하였다.

차체 경량화 소재인 냉간압연 알루미늄합금 판재는 대부분의 경우 연신율이 15%이하로 연신율 35%이상인 차체용 강판(SPCC, SPCD, SPCE 급)에 비채 성형성이 나쁘다. 알루미늄 합금 용접부의 기계적 성질 및 성형성 또한 모재에 비해 열화됨이 알려져 있다. (중략)

This paper deals with development of brackets by using aluminum alloy sheets which is indispensable for weight reduction of autobody. The press formability of aluminum alloy sheet is estimated by means of tensile test, V bending test, sample manufacturing test and photograph of microstructure. The results show that the elongation, strength, work hardening exponent, plastic anisotropy coefficient of Al 6***series are better than those of Al 5***series, but for general press formability, Al 5***series are better than Al 6***series due to lower yield strength. Since most of mechanical properties of aluminum sheet are generally inferior to those of cold-rolled steel sheet, shape fixability and press formability of aluminum sheet are very poor. For making components of autobody by use of die for steel sheet application, it is essential that die should be nodified for least bending and stretching. With the modified die for aluminum, it could be possible to make brackets, the component of autobody. Microstructure of Al 5***series has fine grain and small the 2nd phase and that of Al 6***series has relatively coarse grain. Therefore, it seems that fine grain and small the 2nd phase of Al 5***series is one of the factor of lower yield strength, resistance to stamping work, formation of Luder's line.

Friction stir welding (FSW) method has extensively been used in manufacturing methods because of the several advantages over conventional welding methods, such as better mechanical properties, reduced occurrence of joining defects, high material saving, and low production time, etc. The aim of this paper is to review the optimal FSW conditions using the previous experimental results and is to investigate the fatigue crack growth rate in three different zones, WM, HAZ and BM for FSWed Al7075-T651 aluminum plates. As far as our experiments are concerned, the optimal conditions are obtained as rotation speed, 800rpm and travelling speed, 0.5mm/sec. The fatigue crack growth rate showed strong dependency on three different zones WM, HAZ and BM, and crack driving force.

Wire brushing, which is a typical surface preparation method for roll bonding, has recently been highlighted as a potentially effective method for surface nanocrystallization. In the present study, the microstructure evolution and hardness of the wire-brushed surface and roll-bonded interface of a 1050 aluminum sheet were investigated. Wire brushing formed protruded layers with a nanocrystalline structure and extremely high surface hardness. After roll bonding, the protruded layers remained as hard layers at the interface. Due to their hardness and brittleness the interface hard layers, can affect the interface bonding properties and also play an important role determining the mechanical properties of multi-layered clad sheets.

The effect of loading path changes on the strain and mechanical properties of a commercial pure aluminum was studied using flat rolling and groove rolling. Material during flat rolling undergoes a continuous monotonic compressive loading, while one during groove rolling experiences a series of cross compressive loading. Four-pass flat rolling and groove rolling experiment are designed such that the aluminum undergoes the same amount of the strain at each pass. The rolling experiment was performed at room temperatures. Specimens for tensile test are fabricated from the plate and bar rolled. In addition, the strain distribution for the plate and bar cold rolled specimens is also calculated by finite element method. The results reveal that differences of loading path attributed by monotonic loading(flat rolling) and cross loading(groove rolling) significantly influence the mechanical properties such as yield stress, ultimate tensile stress, strain hardening and elongation. It is clear that the different loading path can give raise to change the deformation history, although it is deformed with same amount of strain for same material.

A cold roll-bonding process is applied to fabricate an AA6061/AA5052/AA6061/AA5052 layered sheet. Two AA6061 and one AA5052 sheets of 2mm thickness, 40mm width and 300mm length are alternately stacked, then reduced to a thickness of 2.0 mm by multi-pass cold rolling after surface treatment such as degreasing and wire brushing. The rolling is performed at ambient temperature without lubricant using a 2-high mill with a roll diameter of 400 mm at a rolling speed of 6.0 m/sec. The roll-bonded AA6061/AA5052/AA6061/AA5052 layered sheet is then hardened by natural aging (T4) and artificial aging (T6) treatments. The microstructure of the as-roll bonded and the age-hardened Al sheets was revealed by SEM observation; the mechanical properties were investigated by tensile testing and hardness testing. After T4 and T6 aging treatment, the specimens had a recrystallization structure consisting of coarse equiaxed grains in both AA5052 and AA6061 regions. The as-roll-bonded specimen showed a clad structure in which the hardness of AA5052 regions was higher than that of AA6061 regions. However, after T4 and T6 aging treatment, specimens exhibited different structures, with hardness of AA6061 regions higher than that of AA5052 regions. Strengths of T6 and T4 age-treated specimens were found to increase by 1.55 and 1.36 times, respectively, compared to the value of the starting material.
