스마트폰 및 카메라 케이스 등에 널리 적용되고 있는 알루미늄은 내식성, 내마모성과 같은 물리적, 화학적 성질이 우수하지 못하여 이를 향상시키기 위해 양극산화법이 산업적으로 널리 이용되고 있다. 알루미늄에 양극산화법을 적용하면 강도, 내마모성 및 내식성이 향상될 뿐만 아니라 알루미늄 표면에 규칙적으로 배열된 30nm~100nm 크기의 pore에 염료를 흡착시켜 다양한 색상의 외관을 가지는 양극산화피막을 형성시킬 수 있다. Pore간의 간격은 수십 nm~수백 nm 정도이며, pore의 크기와 간격 및 깊이는 양극산화조건(양극산화 전압, 전해액의 종류와 농도 및 온도)에 의해 크게 변화한다. 본 연구에서는 CTSA를 통한 AA5052합금의 양극산화 착색처리와 내식성의 개선 여부를 조사하였다. 알루미늄은 Al5052에는 Mg 외에, 소량의 Si을 포함하고 있다. 이 Si는 알루미늄 표면에 석출물 형태로 존재한다. 이 Si 석출물은 양극산화 시 기지상의 알루미늄 표면의 pore 형성을 방해하는 원인이다. 이러한 Si 석출물의 존재가 균일한 pore 형성을 방해하게 되고, 불균일한 포어를 가지는 표면은 착색처리 시 색상의 편차를 크게하는 원인이 되어 불량률을 높인다. 이러한 요인을 개선하기 위해 CTSA의 처리조건을 최적화 하였다. Al5052 합금을 이용하여 에칭, 디스머트, CTSA처리를 실시하였다. $55^{\circ}C$ 100g/L NaOH 용액에서 에칭을, $25^{\circ}C$ 10 vol.% $HNO_3$ 용액에서 디스머트를 실시한 다음, CTSA의 조건을 다르게 하고 SEM을 통해 Si 석출물의 감소율을 비교하였다. CTSA조건으로는 시간(60s, 180s, 300s), 농도(10%, 20%, 30%, 40%) 및 온도($25^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$)를 변화시켰으며, CTSA 처리 전과 후의 시편의 위치를 동일하게 하여 비교하였다. 결과 적정 시간, 농도, 온도 조건하에 pore를 불균일하게 하는 Si 석출물들이 제거되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. CTSA 처리는 온도가 높을수록, 시간이 길수록, 농도가 적당히 진할수록 석출물이 잘 제거되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 CTSA처리가 알루미늄의 내식성에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해서 침적시험에 의한 무게감소율 및 전기화학측정을 실시하였다.

The Friction Stir Welding (FSW) has mainly been used for making butt joints in Al alloys. The development of Friction Stir Lap Welding (FSLW) would expand the number of applications. In this study, for effective application on thin aluminum alloy lap joint, non-heat treatment A5052 alloys were joined by FSLW with the length of probe 2.3 mm and 3.0 mm. Investigating the characteristics of joint area showed the results were as below ; When the length of probe was 2.3 mm, good joint area was formed at all welding condition except for 600 rpm-700 mm/min. In the case of 3.0 mm probe length, there was formed good joint area without defects at 1500 rpm-100 mm/min. The width of joint area, position and size of defects were very important factors for FSLW, due to heat input and stirring intensity.

In order to investigate the effect of surface treatment (Anodizing) and rolling on AI 5083-H131 alloy, under hyper velocity impact, a ballistic testing was conducted. Ballistic resistance of these materials was measured by a protection ballistic limit ($V_{50}$)' a statistical velocity with 50% probability of penetration. Perforation behavior and ballistic tolerance, described by penetration modes, were respectfully observed, by $V_{50}$ test and Projectile Through Plates (PTP) test at velocities greater than $V_{50}$. PTP tests were conducted with 0$^{\circ}$ obliquity at room temperature using 5.56mm ball projectiles. $V_{50}$ tests with 0$^{\circ}$ obliquity were also done with projectiles that were able to achieve near or complete penetration during PTP tests. Resistance to penetration, and penetration modes of Al 5052-H34 alloy were compared to those of Al 5083-H 131 alloy.

The wrinkling in the flange and wall of a part is a predominent failure mode in stamping of sheet metal parts. In many cases this wrinkling may be eliminated by appropriate control of the blank holding forco(BHF), but BHF affects the draw depth. Gotoh had studied the wrinkles under 0.02mm in height. In general, the height of wrinkles could be limited under 0.2mm practically. Therefore small BHP can be allowed so that the depth of drawing could be increased. Authors research the variation of the wrinkles in flange in the course of cup drawing by using aluminium alloy Al050 and A5052.

The Friction Stir Welding (FSW) has mainly been used for making butt joints in Al alloys. The development of Friction Stir Lap Welding (FSLW) would expand the number of applications. In this study, microstructures and mechanical properties of FSLW in A5052 alloy were investigated under varying rotating speed and probe length. Investigating the characteristics as FSLWed conditions were as below ; Failure Maximum load by shear fracture was increased proportional to the width of joint area, which was increased by input heat, stirring intensity in the case of 2.3 mm probe length. Tensile fracture occurred, and maximum load was determined due to side worm hole of joint area and softening of microstructure in the case of 3.0 mm probe length. In the case of 3.7 mm probe length, material hook and bottom worm hole were appeared at the end interface of joint area. The most sound FSLW condition with no defects was 3.0 mm probe length and 1500 rpm-100 mm/min. No defects were showed in 1500 rpm-100 mm/min and 1800 rpm-100 mm/min, but Vickers microhardness distribution in TMAZ/HAZ which was fracture zone was lower in 1800 rpm-100 mm/min than in 1500 rpm-100 mm/min. In this condition highest tensile strength, 215 MPa (allowable rate 78% of joint efficient) was obtained.

Electric resistance spot welding has been used to join overlapped steel sheets in automotive bodies. Recently to reduce weight in automotive vehicles, non-ferrous metals are being used or considered in car bodies for hoods, trunk lids, doors parts, etc. Various welding processes such as laser welding, self-piercing rivet, friction stir welding are being used. In the current study, a new electric resistance heated friction stir spot welding is suggested for the spot welding of non-ferrous metals. The welding method can be characterized by three uses of heat -- electric resistance heating, friction stir heating and conduction heating of steel electrodes -- for the fusion joining at the interfacial zone between the two sheets. The welding process has variables such as welding current, diameter of the steel electrodes, revolutions per minute (rpm) of the friction stir pin, and the insert depth of the stir pin. In order to obtain the optimal welding variables, which provide the best welding strength, many experiments were conducted. From the experiments, it was found that the welding strength could be reached to the required production value by using an electrode diameter of 10mm, a current of 7.6kA, a stirring speed of 400rpm, and an insert depth of 0.8mm for the electric resistance heated friction stir spot welding of 5052 aluminum 1.5mm sheets.

The effect of annealing on the pitting corrosion resistance of anodized Al-Mg alloy (AA5052) processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) was investigated by electrochemical techniques in a solution containing 0.2 mol/L of $AlCl_3$ and also by surface analysis. The Al-Mg alloy was annealed at a fixed temperature between 473 and 573 K for 120 min in air after ECAP. Anodizing was conducted for 40 min at $100-400A/m^2$ at 293 K in a solution containing 1.53 mol/L of $H_2SO_4$ and 0.0185 mol/L of $Al_2(SO_4)_3$. The internal stress generated in anodic oxide films during anodization was measured with a strain gauge to clarify the effect of ECAP on the pitting corrosion resistance of anodized Al-Mg alloy. The time required to initiate the pitting corrosion of anodized Al-Mg alloy was shorter in samples subjected to ECAP, indicating that ECAP decreased the pitting corrosion resistance. However, the pitting corrosion resistance was greatly improved by annealing after ECAP. The time required to initiate pitting corrosion increased with increasing annealing temperature. The strain gauge attached to Al-Mg alloy revealed that the internal stress present in the anodic oxide films was compressive stress, and that the stress was larger with ECAP than without. The compressive internal stress gradually decreased with increasing annealing temperature. Scanning electron microscopy showed that cracks occurred in the anodic oxide film on Al-Mg alloy during initial corrosion and that the cracks were larger with ECAP than without. The ECAP process of severe plastic deformation produces large internal stresses in the Al-Mg alloy; the stresses remain in the anodic oxide films, increasingthe likelihood of cracks. It is assumed that the pitting corrosion is promoted by these cracks as a result of the higher internal stress resulting from ECAP. The improvement in the pitting corrosion resistance of anodized AlMg alloy as a result of annealing appears to be attributable to a decrease in the internal stresses in anodic oxide films

Shaving in sheet metal forming is defined as a finish process to make the sheared surface clean which was blanked or pierced in the previous shearing stage. In this study the new shaving technique is applied to the progressive operation. The specimen is automatically fed by continuous movement of the strip. Which improve the positioning accuracy higher. For this study a square part which consist of blanking and piercing is selected for investigation and the progressive die which includes pre-piercing, pierce-shaving, half-blanking and blank-shaving etc is prepared for specimens of steel sheet(SPCC) and aluminum alloy sheet(AL5052). Experiments are carried out for several working variables such as shaving allowance, pre-shearing clearance and relative half-blanking depth. Consequently it was confirmed that the shaving by progressive die can be successfully employed to produce the clean parts requiring shaving process and optimum working conditions for shaving SPCC and AL5052 sheet metal are shaving allowance of 0.2mm(1.3% of thickness) and pre-shearing clearance of 5%.

In this study, we investigated the effects of anodizing time, dyeing treatment time, and variations in coloring concentration on the color of an AA5052 alloy processed by dye-treated anodizing. The outward color of the anodized film changed to deep red according to increases in anodizing time, dyeing treatment time, and coloring concentration; accordingly, lightness $L^*$ decreased and saturation $a^*$ and $b^*$ increased. The concentration of the dye and the UV-visible absorbance showed a nearly perfect linear relationship, allowing a quantitative analysis of the absorbed dye. Because the quantity of absorbed dye increased as anodizing time, dyeing treatment time, and coloring concentration increased, the outward color of the anodized film deepened. In addition, from the GD-OES depth profile, we found that the dye was preferentially absorbed on the surface of the porous anodized film.
