When extruding Al6061 alloys, deformation energy is deposited inside the extruded alloy depending on the deformation and the temperature of extrusion. This creates a Peripheral Coarse Grain (PCG) on the surface, where relatively more deformation energy. of the extruded alloy has been accumulated. Furthermore, since the deformation of materials continues while the materials recrystallize, it is important to examine the effect of deformation energy on dynamic recrystallization in the process of extruding Al alloys along with their microstructure. Prior studies explain the theory behind PCG growth though quantitative analysis on PCG growth of Al alloys during extrusion processes has not yet been addressed. This study aims to measure the generated PCG thickness which determines the correlation between extrusion outlet temperature and its effect on mechanical properties. Surface structure observations were performed using Optical Microscope (OM) and mechanical properties were evaluated through tensile strength and hardness measurement. Throughout this study, we endevoured to find the optimum condition of extrusion exit temperature of Al6061 and confirmed improved d reliability. This study describes the effect of the complex process variables such as exit temperature on the thickness of PCG layer for the Al6061 alloy using the 200 tons extrusion press. We therefore, discovered that the PCG layer thickness was 117 ㎛ at temperatures between 460 ℃ to 520 ℃.

최근 경량화, 리사이클성, 기기의 소형화, 내환경성 등의 이점을 가지고 있는 알루미늄 합금이 여러 분야서 재인식 되고 있다. 그러나 이런 알루미늄 합금이 부식 환경에 노출 될 경우 음력부식균열이 발생할 수 있게 된다. 이러한 음력부식균열의 발생은 알루미늄의 기계적 특성에 안 좋은 영향을 미치므로 제품의 품질저하, 수명 단축, 효율저하, 재해발생 등 직간접적으로 광범위한 피해를 입게 되기에 부식에 대한 많은 연구가 진행이 되고 있다. 이 중에 고비강도용 알루미늄 압출소재인 Al 6xxx계 합금의 열처리 및 조성 변화에 따른 음력부식 균열의 거동에 대해 연구하였다. 응력부식균열 시험은 SSRT시험으로 많이 하고 있는데, 이 시험은 인장시편을 부식 환경 하에 노출하면서 천천히 일정한 변형속도로 당기는 시험이다. 본 연구에서는 Strain rate를 ${10^{-6}}s^{-1}$ 부식용액은 1M-NaCl + 0.6M-$Na_{2}SO_{4}$ + 0.3%-$H_{2}O_{2}$을 사용하여 시험을 하였다. 그러나 시험에 대한 분석은 Tafel polarization curve, SEM, OMS를 이용하였다.

Degradation is commonly observed in field-aged PV modules due to corrosion of the photovoltaic ribbon. The reduced performance is caused by a loss of fill factor due to the high series resistance in the PV ribbon. This study aimed to mitigate the degradation by corrosion using five sacrificial anodes - Al, Zn and their alloys - to identify the most effective material to mitigate the corrosion of the PV ribbon. The corrosion behavior of the five sacrificial anode materials were examined by open circuit potential measurements, potentiodynamic polarization tests, and galvanic current density and potential measurements using a zero resistance ammeter. Immersion tests for 120 hours were also conducted using materials and damp heat test tests were performed for 1500 hours using 4 cell mini modules. The Al-3Mg and Al-3Zn-1Mg sacrificial anodes had a low corrosion rate and reduced drop in power, making then suitable for long-term use.

최근 지구의 온난화 현상, 산성비 및 오존층 파괴라고 한 지구환경 문제가 큰 과제로 대두되면서 지구환경 보호를 배경으로한 CAFE 규제에 의한 자동차 경량화 움직임이 급속히 확대되고 있고, WTO출범과 함께 경제 전쟁시대에 돌입한 중소기업 분야도 경쟁, 개방화의 물결이 가속화되면서 고기능화, 고부가 가치화 등의 전문기술로 경쟁하지 않으면 안되게 되어 있다 특히 자동차 부품이외에 광학 부품, Computer, OA 전자 산업기기 등의 모든 분야에 응용되고 있는 경량 금속인 Al 합금(비중 2.7) 소재도 실용 금속중 가장 가벼운 Mg합금(비중 1.7), Ti합 금 등의 초 경량금속으로 대체 할려고 하는 경향이 세계적으로 나타나고 있다. 한편 전기자동차, 대체 에너지차, 가스터빈차등의 저공해 차의 실용화 연구도 추진되어 왔지만 폭넓은 요구에 대응하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 이의 부품 및 제품에 사용되는 소재의 최 경량금속의 전환과 형상 가공 기술은 이 시대의 요청 사항이 되고 있다.

Ti alloy is used for essential parts of aircraft for high temperature environment. Although Ti alloy has excellent performance in regard to mechanical properties, it is difficult ot find fatigue cracks by nondestructive ultrasonic inspection due to its two-phase microstructure, which consists of hard alpha and beta phases. Sound energy reflected from microstructural features in the component produces a background inspection noise which is seen even when no defects are present. This noise can inhibit the detection of critical internal defects such as pores cracks or inclusions. To obtain fundamental data on ultrasonic inspection of Ti alloy, ultrasonic testing was performed using a specimen with small drill holes and ultrasonic wave propagation velocites were measured.

The surface properties of AI(Si, Cu) alloy film after plasma etching using the chemistries of chlorinated and fluorinated gases with varying the etching time have been investigated using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. Impurities of C, Cl, F and O etc are observed on the etched AI(Si, Cu) films. After 95% etching, aluminum and silicon show metallic states and oxidized (partially chlorinated) states, copper shows Cu metallic states and Cu-Cl$_{x}$(x$_{x}$ (x$_{x}$ (1

Recently, smaller and lighter products have become of interest in industry applications that increasingly demand thin plate joints of thickness 1.0 mm or less using friction stir welding. In this study, high frequency spindles that run at 3,500-6,500 rpm are introduced for thin friction stir-welded plates. Weldability tests are performed for the butt-joint method of Al5052-H32 alloy of 1.0 mm thickness under 3,500-6,500 rpm spindle revolution with 250-400 mm/min feed speed. An optical microscope was used to analyze the bid structure of the welded zone and stir zone. The tensile-strength and hardness of the welded zone were then measured.

일련의 Al/Tb-Fe-Co 다층박막 시편이 DC마그네트론 스퍼터링에 의해 제조되었다. 이 박막들은 (xA/yB)n의 형태이고 여기서 x와 y는 각각 Al 및 Tb-Fe-Co 박막의 두께를 나타내고 n은 각 박막의 수를 나타낸다. 각 박막의 두께는 2~40nm이다. Al과 Tb-Fe-Co박막의 두께변화에 따른 다층박막의 자기적 성질이 vibration sample magnetometry(VSM)에 의해 측정되었다. 이들 다층박막은 동일한 스퍼터링조건에서 제조되고 수평 자기적 이방성 특성을 보이고 있는 단층 Tb-Fe-Co박막을 기준시편으로 하여 자기적 성질이 비교되었다. 다층박막 시스템에서는 현저한 계면 또는 박막두께의 효과가 발견되었으며 이들 효과에 의해 단층박막의 수평자기체가 다층박막에서는 강한 수직자기체로 변화되는 것을 알 수 있고, 또한 Al과 Tb-Fe-Co합금 경계구역에 스퍼터링에 따른 약 2nm두께의 dead layer가 존재함이 입증 되었다.

In this study, we report characteristics of friction stir welding (FSW) technique applied to Al-6005-T6 extruded sheets, which is a common material for railway car bodies. With the welding speed fixed at 300 mm/min, the revolution per minute (RPM) of the rotating tool was varied from 600 to 1800 RPM, with the aim at evaluating the resultant microstructure and mechanical behaviors. Comparison is also made with the conventional Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding technique. Unlike MIG, no micro-voids were observed for FSW specimens. Hardness measurement revealed that the increased heat input by increasing RPM results in widened heat affected zone (HAZ) and decreased hardness for HAZ due to grain coarsening. Hardness results for the nugget do no show difference. During tensile tests, specimens fractured at HAZ, and increasing rpm led to decrease of the yield stress and tensile stress for the selected RPM range, which is considered to be due to the grain coarsening for HAZ.
