The magnetic properties and crystallization behaviors of $Fe_{83-x}Al_{x}Nb_{5}B_{12}(X=1~5at%)$ alloys were investigated. The $Fe_{80}Al_{3}Nb_{5}B_{12}$ alloy was developed a very good soft magnetic material with ultra-fine grain structure in Fe-Al-Nb-B system alloys. When 1 at% of Cu was added in Fe-Al-Nb-B alloy, the soft magnetic properties were found to improve significantly through the reduction of the grain size upto about 6~7 nm at $450^{\circ}C$. The magnetic properties of the $Fe_{79}Al_{3}Nb_{5}B_{12}Cu_{1}$ alloy were as follows : ${\mu}_{eff}(1\;kHz)=26,000,\;B_{10}=1.45\;T,\;H_{c}=25\;mOe,\;P_{c}(100\;kHz,\;0.2\;T)=55\;W/kg$, respectively.

본 고에서는 차체제작의 첫단계인 프레스 성형시 문제가 되는 알루미늄 합금판재의 성형성에 대하여 기술한다. 차체용 Al합금판의 성형성을 인장시험, 헤밍시험, 스트레치 포오밍 시험 등으로 조사해 보았다. 냉연강판과 비교하여 현재의 차체용 Al합금판은 강도와 연신율 면에서 열세임에 틀림이 없으나, 앞으로 냉여강판에 버금가는 Al합금판이 나오리라 예상한다. 1. 시편의 종류. 2. 결정립 조직. 3. 집합 조직. 4. 상온 인장시험. 5. 고온 인장시험. 6. 헤밍시험(Hemming test). 7. 스트레치 포오밍 시험(Stretch forming test)

In order to understand the solidification behavior and microstructural evolution of the Al-Cu-Si ternary eutectic alloy system, changes of the microstructure of the Al-Cu-Si ternary eutectic alloy with different cooling rates were investigated. When the mold preheating temperature is 500℃, primary Si and Al2Cu dendrites are observed, with (α-Al+Al2Cu) binary eutectic and needle-shaped Si subsequently observed. In addition, even when the mold preheating temperature is 300℃, primary Si and Al2Cu dendrites can be observed, and both (α-Al+Al2Cu+Si) areas observed and areas not observed earlier appear. When the mold preheating temperature is 150℃, bimodal structures of the binary eutectic (α-Al+Al2Cu) and ternary eutectic (α-Al+Al2Cu+Si) are observed. When the preheating temperature of the mold is changed to 500℃, 300℃, and 150℃, the greatest change is in the Si phase, and upon reaching the critical cooling rate, the ternary eutectic of (α-Al+Al2Cu+Si) forms. If the growth of the Si phase is suppressed upon the formation of (α-Al+Al2Cu+Si), the growth of both Al and Cu is also suppressed by a cooperative growth mechanism. As a result of analyzing the Al-27wt%Cu-5wt%Si ternary eutectic alloy with a different alloy design simulation programs, it was confirmed that different results arose depending on the program. A computer simulation of the alloy design is a useful tool to reduce the trial and error process in alloy design, but this effort must be accompanied by a task that increases reliability and allows a comparison to microstructural results derived through actual casting.

In this study, we investigated the microstructural evolution of Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy billet during homogenization treatment using OM, SEM, EDS and DSC. There were numerous phases found, such as; AlMgZn, AlMgFe, and AlMgZnSi phases, in the grain of the cast billet. After 6 hours homogenization treatment, Zn was mostly dissolved, whereas, Mg and Si were only partly dissolved. Accordingly, only AlMgFe and AlMgSi remained. After 18 hours, all of the leftover Mg and Si were dissolved, leaving only AlMgFe, which was also found after 24 hours. The results of the alloy design program, JMatPro showed that Mg dissloved more rapidly than Zn. According to the homogenization kinetic equation, Mg and Zn are completely dissolved within 1.9 and 3.5 hours, respectively.

최근 자동차 산업을 중심으로 한 수송용 기기의 경량화 추세에 따라 대표적인 경량금속 소재인 알루미늄 합금에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있으며 이에 따라 알루미늄 합금 표면에 다양한 특성을 부여할 수 있는 표면개질 기술에 대한 필요성이 부각되고 있다. 알루미늄 합금의 대표적인 표면처리기술인 아노다이징과 유사한 원리로 표면에 세라믹 코팅층을 형성할 수 있는 기술인 플라즈마 전해 산화(Plasma electrolytic oxidation, PEO)가 주목을 받고 있다. PEO 코팅법은 전해액 내에 소재를 침지시키고 400 ~ 600V에 이르는 고전압을 인가시켜 마이크로 방전을 유도하여 표면에 치밀한 세라믹 층을 형성시키는 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 PEO법으로 표면 개질된 Al 합금 표면의 표면 조직 특성과 전기화학 특성을 평가하고, 코팅층 특성에 미치는 공정 변수의 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. PEO 처리를 위해 사용된 소재는 상용 Al 합금 판재(Al 5083-O)로서 $2cm{\times}2cm$로 절단하여, 에머리페이퍼로 1000번까지 연마하여 사용하였다. 시험을 위한 PEO 처리 시스템은 전해액 수조, 일정 온도 유지를 위한 열교환기와 칠러, 전원 발생을 위한 전원공급기(power supply)로 구성되었다. 전해액은 약 알칼리 수용액을 이용하였으며, 전원 공급기를 통해 시험편에 펄스 전류를 인가하였다. PEO 처리 후 시편에 대하여 SEM, EDS, XRD 등을 이용한 표면 특성 평가를 실시하였다. 또한 코팅층의 전기화학적 부식 특성 평가를 위해 해수용액에서 동전위분극실험을 실시하였다. 시험 결과, Al 합금의 PEO 처리 시 내식성은 개선되는 것으로 확인되었으며, 공정변수는 표면의 미세조직 및 전기화학적 특성에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Saturation rnagnetostriction and rnagnetoelastic properties of amorphous $Fe_{82}B_{18-x}Al_{x}$ and $Fe_{80}B_{20-x}Al_{x}$ alloys have been studied. Saturation magnetostriction of the alloys has increased according to the increase of AI content. The amorphous $Fe_{82}B_{14}Al_{4}$ alloy shows the highest saturation magnetostriction of 45 ppm among the alloy systems. The ratio of maximum magnetic induction change to tensile stress of this alloy is about $0.026\;T.mm^{2}/N$, and it is considered to be applicable for a high resolution mechanical sensor.

The Al-Cr-Zr composite metal powders were prepared by mechanical alloying and consolidated by vacuum hot pressing. The microstructural characteristics and the thermal stability of the MA Al-Cr-Zr alloys were evaluated by means of microhardness measurement, XRD and TEM in order to develop high temperature, high strength aluminum alloys. The mechanical alloying was conducted in attritor with 300rpm for 20 hours. The density of the vacuum hot pressed Al-Cr-Zr alloy reached at 97% of theoretical one. After exposing at $300^{\circ}C$ for 100 hours, there is almost no variation in hardness change of the MA alloys. Even after exposing at $ 500^{\circ}C$ for 100 hours, the hardness of the alloy was decreased within 6% of the initial value. The fine stable $Al_3Zr\;and\; Al_{13}Cr_2$ intermetallics were formed at the stage of consolidation and heat treatment in aluminum matrix. The good thermal stability of the MA Al-Cr-Zr alloy can ab attributed to the role of the dispersoids, inhibiting grain growth of nanocrystalline, and the final grain size after heat treatment was less than 150nm.

The effects of Al addition to Fe-B-Nb-Cu alloy for improving the high-frequency magnetic properties and the magnetic properties of ultrathin $Fe_{78}Al_{4}Nb_{5}B_{12}Cu_{1}$ nanocrystalline alloy ribbons with the thickness less than $10\;\mu\textrm{m}$ were investigated. It was found that the effective permeability at frequencies over- 100 kHz was very high and the core loss was very low for the composition $Fe_{78}Al_{4}Nb_{5}B_{12}Cu_{1}$ alloy. Moreover, the reduction of the ribbon thickness below $10\;\mu\textrm{m}$ was very effective in improving their permeability and the core loss characteristics up to the MHz frequency range. The values of effective permeability at 1 MHz and core loss at 0.2 T, 1 MHz were 5,000 and 1.4 kW/kg, respectively. It was considered that these results were due to far refined $\alpha-Fe$ phase structure with grain size less than 10 nm and domain structure modification.
