This was studied about mechanical characteristic of AC4A/SiCw 10-30% reinforced composites. Tensile strength of pressed base metal(base metal) with SiCw preform was higher than without pressed base metal(AC4A). If SiCw whisker volume fraction was increased, tensile strength at room temperature was increased. And tensile strength of SiCw 30% was about $35kg/mm^2$. Tensile strength of SiCw 30 % $400^{\circ}C$ at same time aging was the most excellence, about $40kg/mm^2$. The fracture energy value of composite material at three point bending test was higher than AC4A. Dislocation at matrix of composite material was evenly distributed. But dislocation around whisker of composite material was more existed than matrix. The reasom was thought of pile-up around whisker.

The binder phase for TiC reinforced steel matrix composite was added in the form of elemental powders and master alloy powders. The microstructures, binder phase variation with TiC content and mechanical properties were evaluated. The addition of a type of binder phase largely effects the microstructure and mechanical properties. The binder phase variation from starting composition was observed with increase in wt% TiC content and this variation was higher when the master alloy powders were used as a binder. The response to heat treatment was decreased with an increase in TiC content due to the shift of binder phase from the starting composition.

The morphology of deformation induced dislocations in polycrystalline $Ni_3$(Al, Cr) containing $M_{23}C_6$ precipitates has been investigated in terms of transmission electron microscopy(TEM). Fine Polyhedral precipitates of $M_{23}C_6$ appeared in the matrix by aging at temperatures around 973 K after solution annealing at 1423 K. TEM examination revealed that the $M_{23}C_6$ phase and the matrix lattices have a cube-cube orientation relationship and keep partial atomic matching at the {111} interface. After deformation at temperature below 973 K, typical Orowan loops were observed surrounding the $M_{23}C_6$ particles. At higher deformation temperatures, the Orowan loops disappeared and the morphology of dislocations at the particle-matrix interfaces suggested the existence of attractive interaction between dislocations and particles. The change of the interaction modes between dislocation and particles with increasing deformation temperature can be considered as a result of strain relaxation at the interface bet ween matrix and particles.

The mechanical properties and microstructures of Aluminum 6056 alloys were investigated for their use in the fabrication of a piton block. The EN-AW6056 alloys exhibited a tensile strength of 375 MPa for a solution treatment temperature of $550^{\circ}C$ for 2 h followed by an aging treatment at $190^{\circ}C$ for 4 h. The microstructures of the heat treated specimen showed that the $Mg_2Si$ phase with a size of 3~5 um was dispersed throughout the aluminum matrix when the heat treatment was done. Moreover, in order to identify the forgeability of the specimen, upsetting tests were done. For up to 80 % of the upsetting ratio, the specimen maintained its original shape, and at above 80 % of the upsetting ratio, the specimen underwent crack development. The specimen was successfully forged without any defects with the examined material conditions. The material conditions together with the forging conditions are discussed in terms of the microstructures and mechanical properties.

The nano/microstructure and mechanical properties of the eutectic regions in thixo and rheo cast A356 alloy parts were investigated using nano/micro-indentation and mechanical scratching, combined with optical microscopy and atomic force microscope (AFM).Most eutectic Si crystals in the A356 alloy showed a modified morphology as fine-fibers, however Si particles of network in eutectic region was formed quickly with aging time increase in thixo-cast. The aging responses of the eutectic regions in both the thixo and rheo cast A356 alloys aged at $150^{\circ}C$ for different times (0, 2, 4, 8, 10, 16, 24, 36, and 72 h) were investigated. Both Vickers hardness ($H_V$) and indentation ($H_{IT}$) test results showed almost the same trend of aging curves, the peak was obtained at the same aging time of 10 h.

코발트기 주조용 초내열합금 X45를 이용하여 다양한 형태의 열처리에 따른 미세조직과 기계적 특성의 변화에 대하여 고찰한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 합금의 응고 시 결정립계와 수지상간 경계를 따라 Cr이 다량 함유된 조대한 $M_{23}C_6$ 탄화물과 W과 Co의 함량이 높은 $M_6C$ 탄화물이 형성되어 있었고, $1274^{\circ}C$에서 용체화 처리하면 대부분의 탄화물이 용해되었다. $1150^{\circ}C$에서의 용체화 처리 동안 일부 결정립계 탄화물이 용해되지만 공정탄화물 근처에서 새로운 탄화물의 석출이 일어났다. $927^{\circ}C$와 $982^{\circ}C$에서 시효처리만 했을 때 용체화 처리 후 시효처리 한 시편 보다 공정 탄화물 근처에서 석출되는 탄화물의 양이 많았고, 크기가 작았다. 2) $1150^{\circ}C$에서 용체화 처리한 후 시효처리 하면 경도의 증가가 뚜렷하지 않으며, $927^{\circ}C$와 $982^{\circ}C$에서 시효처리만 했을 때 다량의 매우 미세한 탄화물의 석출에 의하여 경도의 증가 폭이 더 컸다. 상온 항복강도는 $927^{\circ}C$에서 시효처리 했을 때 가장 컸지만 인장강도와 연신율은 $982^{\circ}C$에서 12시간 시효처리 했을 때 가장 컸다. 고온 크리프 특성은 $982^{\circ}C$에서 12시간 시효처리 했을 때 가장 우수하였다. 3) 장시간 고온 노출 되는 동안 탄화물의 석출과 성장이 일어났고, 8000시간 고온에서 노출시킨 시편에서는 수지상 중심부에도 탄화물이 석출되어 크리프 파단 수명이 증가하였다.

초음파 비선형 특성은 일반적으로 재료 내부를 전파한 초음파의 기본주파수 및 2차 고조파 성분 크기에 의해 결정되는 비선형 파라미터 ${\beta}$로 측정되며, 재료의 미세한 변질을 평가하는데 효과적인 인자로 알려져 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 인공시효된 Al6061-T6의 열처리 시간에 따른 초음파 비선형 특성을 평가하였다. 초음파가 시편을 투과하여 수신되는 신호를 분석하여 비선형 파라미터 ${\beta}$를 구하였고, 비선형 파라미터 측정 후 마이크로 비커스 경도를 측정하였다. 비선형 파라미터 측정 결과로부터 열처리 시간에 따른 재료 내 미세 구조적인 변화를 추정하였으며, 경도 측정 결과로부터 이러한 추정이 합당함을 증명하였다. 측정 결과 비선형 파라미터는 석출거동 메커니즘에 의한 재료 미세조직 변화와 매우 밀접한 상관관계를 나타냈다. 이로부터 초음파 비선형 파라미터를 이용하여 인공시효에 의한 재료 내 미세구조 및 상태 변화를 초음파 비선형 파라미터로 평가할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The microstructure of Al-5%Mg based alloy mainly consists of aluminum matrix with a small amount of AlMn phase. The addition of Sc or Zn to the base alloy significantly improved the as-cast tensile strength, while the addition of Fe deteriorated both strength and ductility. Although the Al-5%Mg based alloy was not heat-treatable, aging hardening could be observed in the case that Sc or Zn was added to the base alloy. TEM analysis showed that very fine AlSc or AlMgZn precipitates were formed after T6 heat treatment, resulting in enhanced strength. The corrosion resistance measured as corrosion potential was found to decrease a little by adding Zn, whereas other alloying elements were not clearly influential.

In this study, the age-hardening behavior and tensile properties of a cast AZ91-0.3Ca-0.2Y (SEN9) alloy are investigated and compared with those of a commercial AZ91 alloy. Even after homogenization heat treatment, the SEN9 alloy contains numerous undissolved secondary phases, Al₈Mn₄Y, Al₂Y, and Al₂Ca, which results in a higher hardness value than the homogenized AZ91 alloy. Under aging condition at 200 ℃, both the AZ91 and SEN9 alloys exhibit the same peak-aging time of 8 h, but the peak hardness of the latter (86.8 Hv) is higher than that of the former (83.9 Hv). The precipitation behavior of Mg₁₇Al₁₂ phase during aging significantly differs in the two alloys. In the AZ91 alloy, the area fraction of Mg₁₇Al₁₂ discontinuous precipitates (DPs) increases up to ~50% as the aging time increases. In contrast, in the SEN9 alloy, the formation and growth of DPs during aging are substantially suppressed by the Ca- or Y-containing particles, which leads to the formation of only a small amount of DPs with an area fraction of ~4% after peak aging. Moreover, the size and interparticle spacing of Mg₁₇Al₁₂ precipitates of the peak-aged SEN9 alloy are smaller than those of the peak-aged AZ91 alloy. The homogenized AZ91 alloy exhibits a higher tensile strength than the homogenized SEN9 alloy due to the finer grains of the former. However, the peak-aged SEN9 alloy has a higher tensile elongation than the peak-aged AZ91 alloy due to the smaller amount of brittle DPs in the former.

Microstructural characteristics of directionally solidified René 80 superalloy are investigated with optical microscope and scanning electron microscope; solidification velocity is found to change from 25 to 200 μm/s under the condition of constant thermal gradient (G) and constant alloy composition (Co). Based on differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement, γ phase (1,322 ℃), MC carbide (1,278 ℃), γ/γ' eutectic phase (1,202 ℃), and γ' precipitate (1,136 ℃) are formed sequentially during cooling process. The size of the MC carbide and γ/γ' eutectic phases gradually decrease with increasing solidification velocity, whereas the area fractions of MC carbide and γ/γ' eutectic phase are nearly constant as a function of solidification velocity. It is estimated that the area fractions of MC carbide and γ/γ' eutectic phase are determined not by the solidification velocity but by the alloy composition. Microstructural characteristics of René 80 superalloy after solid solution heat-treatment and primary aging heat-treatment are such that the size and the area fraction of γ' precipitate are nearly constant with solidification velocity and the area fraction of γ/γ' eutectic phase decreases from 1.7 % to 0.955 %, which is also constant regardless of the solidification velocity. However, the size of carbide solely decreases with increasing solidification velocity, which influences the tensile properties at room temperature.
