레이저 용접은 아크 용접에 비해 상대적으로 빠른 용접과 깊은 용입이 가능하며, 낮은 열입력을 가지는 장점이 있다. 하지만 알루미늄 합금 용접 시 균열 감수성의 증가 및 용접강도가 저하되는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하는 방법으로 모재의 화학조성을 제어하는 방법과 부가적인 용접와이어를 공급하는 방법이 제안되었으나 레이저 용접에 적용하기 쉽지 않다. 아크 용접과 전자빔 용접에서는 열원에 오실레이션을 적용하여 결정립 구조를 제어하여 용접강도를 증가하는 방법이 제안되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 알루미늄 합금 5J32-T4의 용접균열 저감 및 용접강도 향상을 위해 레이저 위빙을 적용하였다. 1mm 두께의 알루미늄 5J32-T4를 사용하였으며, 4kW급 디스크 레이저와 레이저용 스케너를 이용하여 레이저 위빙을 구현하였다. 고온균열을 평가하기 위해 자기구속형 균열 평가방법을 사용하였으며, 용접강도를 평가하기 위해 겹치기 용접을 수행한 시편을 이용하였다. 고온균열 실험결과 레이저 위빙 적용 시 직선 용접에 비해 균열 감수성이 감소한 것을 확인하였다. 전단인장강도 측정결과 레이저 위빙의 적용에 따라 직선 용접에 비해 높은 전단인장강도의 확보가 가능하였다.

A5J32-T4 and A5052-H32 dissimilar aluminum alloy plates with thickness of 1.6 and 1.5 mm were welded by friction stir lap welding (FSLW). The FSLW were studied using different probe length tool and various welding conditions which is rotation speed of 1000, 1500 rpm and welding speed of 100 to 600 mm/min and material arrangement, respectively. The effects of plunge depth of tool and welding conditions on tensile properties and weld nugget formation. The results showed that three type nugget shapes such as hooking, void, sound have been observed with revolutionary pitch. This plunge depth and material arrangement were found to effect on the void and hooking formation, which in turn significantly influenced the mechanical properties. The maximum joint efficiency of the FSLWed plates was about 90% compared to base metal, A5052-H32 when the A5052-H32 was positioned upper plate and plunge depth was positioned at near interface between upper and lower plates.

Using spark plasma sintering process (SPS), Ti-6Al-4V alloy powders were successfully consolidated without any contamination happened due to reaction between the alloy powders and graphite mold. Variation of microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated as a function of SPS temperature and time. Compared with hot isostatic pressing (HIP), the sintering time and temperature could be lowered to be 10 min. and $900^{\circ}C$, respectively. At the SPS condition, UTS and elongation were about 890 MPa and 24%, respectively. Considering the density of 98.5% and elongation of 24%, further improving the tensile strength would obtain by increasing the SPS pressure.

The effects of duplex-treatment of plasma carburization and CrN coating onto Ti-6Al-4V alloy on its creep properties were investigated by means of a constant stress creep tester. Applying duplex-treatment, specimens having an inner carburized layer of about $150{\mu}m$ in depth and outer CrN layer of about $7.5{\mu}m$ in thickness were prepared. The hardness of duplex-treatment surface was about 1,960 VHN. It also appeared that the duplex-treatment improved the roughness of the surface significantly; $Ra=0.045{\mu}m$ for treated alloy while $Ra=0.321{\mu}m$ for untreated alloy. The steady-state creep behaviors were investigated in a temperature range of $510{\sim}550^{\circ}C$ ($0.42{\sim}0.44T_m$) under an applied stress range of 200~275 MPa. The stress exponent, n, was derived assuming the power law creep behavior. The surface treatment showed a decrease in a value from 9.32 (untreated) to 8.79 (treated). Also the activation energy obtained from an Arrhenius plot increased from 238 to 257 kJ/mol.

We investigated the effects of the addition of Mn and $AB_5$ type alloy on the electrochemical characteristics of Ti-Cr-V BCC type alloys as anode materials for Ni-MH battery. The activation behavior and discharge capacity of the BCC type alloys were significantly improved by ball-milling with the $LmNi_{4.1}Al_{0.25}Mn_{0.3}Co_{0.65}$ alloy, because the $AB_5$ type alloy acted as hydrogen path on the surface of the BCC type alloy. Among the Mn substituted alloys($Mn=0.03%{\sim}0.08%$), the $Ti_{0.32}Cr_{0.38}Mn_{0.05}V_{0.25}$ alloy ball-milled with $AB_5$ type alloy exhibited the greatest discharge capacity of $336\;mAh{\cdot}g^{-1}$. In addition, Mn substituted alloys exhibited the lower plateau pressure in P-C- T curve, the better hydrogen storage capacity and faster surface activation compared with the alloy without Mn.
