The dynamic behavior of Al-Mg alloys plasma was very unstable and this instability was closely related to the unstable motion of keyhole during laser irradiation. The keyhole fluctuated both in size and shape and its fluctuation period was about 440 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. This instability has been estimated to be caused by the evaporation phenomena of metals with different boiling point and latent heats of vaporization. Therefore, the authors have conducted the spectroscopic diagnostics of plasma induced in the pulsed YAG laser welding of Al-Mg alloys in air and argon atmospheres. In the air environment, the identified spectra were atomic lines of Al, Mg, Cr, Mn, Cu, Fe and Zn, and singly ionized Mg line, as well as strong molecular spectrum of AlO, MgO and AIH. It was confirmed that the resonant lines of Al and Mg were strongly self-absorbed, in particular in the vicinity of pool surface. The self-absorption of atomic Mg line was more eminent in alloys containing higher Mg. These facts showed that the laser-induced plasma was relatively a low temperature and high density metallic vapor. The intensities of molecular spectra of AlO and MgO were different each other depending on the power density of laser beam. Under the low power density irradiation condition, the MgO band spectra were predominant in intensity, while the AlO spectra became much stronger in higher power density. In argon atmosphere the band spectra of MgO and AlO completely vanished, but AlH molecular spectra was detected clearly. The hydrogen source was presumably the hydrogen solved in the base Metal, absorbed water on the surface oxide layer or H$_2$ and $H_2O$ in the shielding gas. The temporal change in spectral line intensities was quite similar to the fluctuation of keyhole. The time average plasma temperature at 1 mm high above the surface of A5083 alloy was determined by the Boltzmann plot method of atomic Cr lines of different excitation energy. The obtained electron temperature was 3, 280$\pm$150 K which was about 500 K higher than the boiling point of pure aluminum. The electron number density was determined by measuring the relative intensities of the spectra1lines of atomic and singly ionized Magnesium, and the obtained value was 1.85 x 1019 1/㎥.

Anodizing is a technology to generate thicker and high-quality films than natural oxide films by treating metals via electrochemical methods. It is a technique to develop metals for various uses, and extensive research on the commercial use has been performed for a long time. Aluminum anodic oxide (AAO) is generate oxide films, whose sizes and characteristics depending on the types of electrolytes, voltages, temperatures and time. Electrochemical manufacturing method of nano structure is an efficient technology in terms of cost reduction, high productivity and complicated shapes, which receives the spotlight in diverse areas. The sulfuric acid was used as an anodizing electrolyte, controlling its temperature to $10^{\circ}C$. The anode was 5083 Al alloy with dimension of $5(t){\times}20{\times}20mm$ while the cathode was the platinum. The distance between the anode and the cathode was maintained at 3 cm. Agitation was introduced by magnetic stirrer at 300 rpm to prevent localized temperature rise that hinders stable growth of oxide layer. In order to observe surface characteristics with applied current density, the electrolyte temperature, concentration was maintained at constant condition for $10^{\circ}C$, 10 vol.%, respectively. To prevent hindrance of stable growth of oxide layer due to local temperature increase during the experiment, stirring was maintained at constant rate. In addition, using galvanostatic method, it was maintained at current density of $10{\sim}30mA/cm^2$ for 40 minutes. The cavitation experiment was carried out with an ultrasonic vibratory apparatus using piezo-electric effect with modified ASTM-G32. The peak-to-peak amplitude was $30{\mu}m$ and the distance between the horn tip and specimen was 1 mm. The specimen after the experiment was cleaned in an ultrasonic, dried in a vacuum oven for more than 24 hours, and weighed with an electric balance. The surface damage morphology was observed with 3D analysis microscope. As a result of the investigation, differences were observed surface hardness and anti-cavitation characteristics depending on the development of oxide film with applied current density.

In this study, the low temperature toughness was evaluated by using the instrumented Charpy impact testing procedures for A15083-O aluminum alloy used in the LNG carrying and storage tank. The specimens were GMA(Gas Metal Arc) welded with four different mixing shield gas ratios (Ar100%+He0%, Ar67%+He33%, Ar50%, and Ar33%+He67%), and tested at four different temperatures(+25, -30, -85, and $-196^{\circ}C$) in order to investigate the influence of the mixing shielding gas ratio and the low temperature. The specimens were divided into base metal, weld metal, fusion line, and HAZ specimen according to the notch position. From experiment the maximum load and displacement were shown the highest and He lowest at $-196^{\circ}C$ than the other test temperatures. The absorption energy of weld metal notched specimens was not nearly depends on test temperature and mixing shield gas ratio because the casting structure was formed in weld metal zone by melting welding wire. On the other hand, the others specimens was shown that the lower temperature, the higher absorption energy slightly up to $-85^{\circ}C$ but the energy was decreased so mush at $-196^{\circ}C$.

최근 환경오염 문제와 관련하여 청정연료로 수요가 증가하고 있는 액화천연가스(LNG)의 저장탱크 및 운반선 등 연료 저장 설비, 초전도이용 관련 기기와 같은 저온용 설비 및 기기가 증가하고 있고 대형화의 추세를 보이고 있다. 특히 액화천연가스(LNG)의 수요급증에 따라 이의 운송 및 저장에 필요한 재료의 수요가 증가하면서 극저온재료에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. LNG저장조의 대형화에 따라, 설계강도상의 검토는 물론, 사용재료의 특성, 가공성 및 용접 둥의 시공법을 비롯하여 품질관리 면까지 충분한 검토가 필요하다. 특히 LNG를 저장하는 내조재료에 대하여는 모재 및 용접부의 제반 특성을 파악하여 저온에서 취성파괴에 대한 안전성을 확인해 둘 필요가 있다. 본 연구는, LNG 저장 탱크의 안전성 평가시 필요한 재료물성 데이터 중 파괴인성의 측정 기반 기술을 확보하고, 현재 국내에서 사용되고 있는 LNG 저장탱크용 재질(SUS304L강, Al합금 및 $9\%$ Ni강)에 대하여 77 K 및 173 K에서 계장화 샬피충격시험을 실시하여 온도에 따른 충격파괴특성 및 파면해석을 실시하여, 안전성 평가에 필요한 기초 자료를 확보하는 것을 주목적으로 한다. 계장화샬피충격파괴시험결과, $9\%$니켈강의 경우 온도저하에 따라 77K까지는 인성의 저하정도가 적어 우수한 파괴저항을 나타내었다. 계장화 장치에 의해 얻어진 하중-처짐 곡선으로부터, 온도가 173 K에서 77 K로 저하함에 따라 최대하중은 증가하였으나 에너지는 오히려 감소하였다. 또한 균열개시에 쓰여진 에너지보다 균열진전에 쓰여진 에너지가 높게 나타났다. A5083의 경우 합금강재에 비해 충격흡수에너지값이 낮고 저온 특유의 갈라짐 현상을 볼 수 있었다. SUS304L재의 경우 균열개시에 쓰여지는 에너지가 높게 나타났고, 균열진전에 따른 에너지는 거의 나타나지 않아 균열개시 후 비교적 평탄한 파단면을 나타내는 파면관찰 결과와 일치하는 거동을 나타내었다.
