In the compound casting between the aluminum alloy and the cast iron, the iron component may be dissolved from the cast iron during the process and mixed into the aluminum melt, thereby forming various iron-containing intermetallic compounds and significantly deteriorating the tensile properties of the aluminum alloy. On the other hand, unlike Fe, which is added as an impurity, Cu is added to improve the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy. In this study, the change in microstructure and tensile properties of aluminum alloys due to the addition of Fe and Cu was investigated. A large amount of iron-containing compounds such as coarse Al₅FeSi phases were formed when the iron content was 1% or more, and the tensile properties were significantly reduced. In the case of the aluminum alloy to which Cu was added, an Al₂Cu phase was additionally formed and the tensile strength was clearly improved.

Using the Siwek 20 L spherical explosion vessel, the explosion properties have been examined to understand the influence of magnesium content in Mg-Al alloy dusts with different concentration. For this purpose, the Mg-Al alloy dusts (volume mean diameter : $151{\sim}160{\mu}m$) with magnesium content ratio were used. As the results, the increase of Mg content in Mg-Al alloy causes an decreased minimum explosion concentration and an increased maximum explosion pressure. Also the maximum explosion pressure and maximum rate of pressure rise in Mg-Al alloy dusts mainly depended on the dust concentrations. However, for the explosion index (Kst) of Mg-Al (40:60 wt%), Mg-Al (50:50 wt%) and Mg-Al (60:40 wt%), it was founded to increase the Kst with increasing of magnesium content ratio.

AI-Mg-합금의 용융산화에 의해 생성되는 AlO$_{2}$O$_{3}$-복합재료의 미세구조에 미치는 합금원소의 영향을 연구하였다. AI-1Mg 합금과 AI-3Mg 합금을 기본으로하여 Si, Zn, Sn, Cu, Ni, Ca, Ce를 1, 3, 5 %를 무게비로 첨가하였다. 각 합금을 1473K에서 20시간 유지하여 산화시킨 후 산화층의 거시적 형상과 미세구조를 광학현미경으로 관찰하였다. 각 미세구조의 상분율을 상분석기로 측정하였다. 산화층의 최첨단면은 SEM과 EDX로 관찰하고 분석하였다. Cu나 Ni를 첨가한 합금으로부터 성장한 산화층의 미세구조가 가장 치밀하였다. Zn이 포함된 합금으로부터 성장한 산화층 최첨단 성장면에는 ZnO가 관찰되었다. Zn이 포함되지 않은 다른 합금의 성장 전면에는 항상 MgAi$_{2}$O$_{4}$상이 관찰되었다.

In order to make high purity materials including low contents of interstitial impurities, 70 ㎾ electron beam melter was manufactured. The sponge Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloy were required and melted by electron beam melter. Based on the experimental results of sponge Ti refining by electron beam melting, the purity of Ti was increased for 180 seconds but thereafter did not significantly vary. In addition, it was found that with number of melting, the purity of Ti did and vary but the yield of Ti was decreased. As a results of Ti refining, high purity Ti of 3N (99.9 wt%) could be obtained including interstitial impurities with total contents of which were maximum 900 ppm. From the experimental results of Ti-6Al-4V alloy electron beam melting, the amounts of Al loss could be estimated through thermodynamic data calculated from the regular solution model and the model of solute removal kinetics and the alloy composition calculated from the models was in accord with the experimental composition of the alloy, It took 10 minutes to make Ti-29Al-4V alloy calculated from the model into Ti-6Al-4V alloy and the composition of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was very homogeneous.

The age-hardening behavior of unreinforced 6061 Al alloy and SiCp/6061 Al alloy composites reinforced with different size of SiC particle (average diameter ; 0.7$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 7.0$\mu\textrm{m}$) was investigated by hardness measurement, calorimetric technique and transmission electron microscopy. At 17$0^{\circ}C$ isothermal aging treatment, the peak aging time of 0.7$\mu\textrm{m}$SiCp/6061Al alloy composite and 7.0$\mu\textrm{m}$SiCp/6061Al alloy composite is shorter than that of unreinforced 6061Al alloy, and the aging of 7.0$\mu\textrm{m}$SiCp/6061Al alloy composite is accelerated more than that of 0.7$\mu\textrm{m}$SiCp/6061Al alloy composite. This acceleration is due to the increase of dislocation density by the compositeness with SiCp and the SiC particle size. In the peak aged condition, the major strengthening phase of these materials is intermediate $\beta$ phase(Mg$_2$Si), and the activation energy for the formation of $\beta$ phase is considerably decreased by the compositeness with SiCp and the increasing of SiC Particle site.

본 연구에서는 알루미늄 합금의 PEO(Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation) 피막 형성 거동을 PEO 처리 용액 조성, 온도 및 합금 성분에 따른 전압-시간 곡선을 관찰하여 분석하였다. 알루미늄 합금의 PEO 피막 형성거동은 NaOH 농도, 전해질 온도, 인가 전류밀도 및 합금성분에 따라 다양하게 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 직류 정전류법을 이용하여 Al1050, Al5052, Al6061 합금 표면에 PEO 피막을 형성시켰으며, PEO 피막의 형성이 시작되는 전압 및 발생된 아크의 크기 및 모양을 관찰하여 PEO 피막 형성 거동을 연구하였다. 연구결과 PEO 처리 중의 전해액의 온도가 낮고 전류밀도가 높을수록 시편 표면에서 짧은 시간 내에 아크가 발생하였으며, 전압-시간 곡선은 빠른 속도로 PEO 피막생성 전압에 도달하여 유지되는 거동을 보였다. 동일한 용액조성, 용액온도, 용액 교반속도 및 인가전류밀도에서 관찰된 PEO 피막 형성 거동은 동일시편을 PEO코팅 후 에칭하여 반복 실험할 경우에도 큰 편차를 보였으며, 이로부터 시편의 조성이나 불순물의 존재 등이 크게 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다.

An eco-friendly production technique of Al-8.6Ti-0.025C refiner was developed by melting a Al-Ti master alloy in a graphite crucible, in which the potential nucleation site, TiC effectively formed by the spontaneous in-situ reaction between excessive Ti and carbon from graphite crucible. The A3003 alloy refined by the Al-8.6Ti-0.025C showed effectively refined macrostructure and enhanced mechanical properties comparable to the commercial Al-Ti-B refiner. The effective refinement was achieved in a shorter compare to the melt-treating time commercial Al-Ti-B refiner.

The present study describes the process of producing low oxygen content alloy powder from Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V (AMS 4972) alloy scraps using hydrogenation-dehydrogenation (HDH) and deoxidation in solid state (DOSS) processes. Each prepared powder was deoxidized with Ca contact and non-contact method to compare the deoxidation capability. It is known that the non-contact deoxidation method, using Ca vapor above the melting temperature $T_m$ of Ca, has greater deoxidation capability. However, Oxygen contents in Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V powder after non-contact deoxidation method were higher than those after contact deoxidation method. Therefore, we investigate the effect of Al - the richest alloy element in theses Ti based metals - on the deoxidation processes.

ITO/TPD($450{\AA}$)/$Alq_{3}(500{\AA})$/Al:Li($1200{\AA}$) 구조의 유기 LED를 제작하였다. Al과 Al:Li(0.lwt%), Al:Li(1wt%), Al:Li(5wt %) 합금을 음전극으로 증착시켜 소자의 전기적 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. 음전극 내의 Li의 분포를 알아보기 위하여 SIMS(Secondary ion Mass Spectroscopy) depth profiling을 하였다. Al:Li합금에서 Li의 함량이 0.1 wt %에서 5 wt %로 증가함에 따라 소자의 turn-on voltage는 약 3.5 V에서 3 V로 감소하였고, 구동전압도 감소하였다. 200$cd/m^2$의 휘도를 기준으로 Al:Li(0.1wt %) 합금을 사용한 소자의 경우 3.5 lm/W로 발광효율이 최대였다. 증착된 Al:Li(0.1wt%) 합금의 SIMS depth profiling 결과 초기에만 Al:Li이 증착되어 Al:Li/Al의 두 층이 형성되었고, Al:Li 합금층의 두께는 약 120${\AA}$ 이었다.
