A new method has been developed to fabricate microcomponents by a combination of photolithography and sintering of metallic powder mixtures, without the need for compression and the addition of Mg. This involves (1) the fabrication of a micromould, (2) mould filling of the powder/binder mixture, (3) debinding and (3) sintering. The starting powdered materials consisted of a mixture of aluminium powder(average size of 2.5 um) and alloying elemental powder of Cu and Sn(less than 70nm), at appropriate proportions to achieve nominal compositions of Al-6wt%Cu, Al-6wt%Cu-3wt%Sn. This paper presents detailed investigation of debinding behaviour and microstructural development.

The relationships between evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of porous Al-3Si-2Mg-2Cu alloy after the foaming and various heat treating were investigated. The foamed alloy having various densities were manufactured by powder compact foaming and heat treated. Then compression test was performed with deformation rate of 0.5/s. The ultimate compression strength was not changed after solution heat treatment but the flow curve after ultimate strength showed very smooth and uniform plateau region. This change of flow curve means that the deformation mechanism is altered from brittle fracture to ductile deformation and the energy absorption property of Al foam is dramatically improved. The improvement of energy absorption without any detriment of mechanical properties is due to that the very brittle precipitation like Al-Cu and Al-Mg was uniformly dissolved in Al matrix after solution heat treatment. And various mechanical properties of Al alloy porous material were improved by 40% with aging of $200^{\circ}C$ and 50min. These improvements are ascribe to the various fine precipitates like $\Omega$ and $\theta$'.

Cu, Si, Mg, Ca, Cd, Sn, Pb등이 첨가되는 Al계 bearing 합금은 베어링 특성이 우수하여 최근 자동차드의 엔진 부품용 베어링소재로 많이 사용되어지고 있다. 합금원소 Si는 합금의 경도를 향상시키며 Si-rich한 경한 입자를 생성시켜 소착저항력(antiseizure)을 향상시키며 또한 합금의 주조성도 향상시켜 내마모성이 요구되는 Al계 베어링 합금에 주합금원소로 첨가된다. 본 연구에서는 강제죠반법과 급냉응고법을 이용하여 Al-Pb-Gu계와 Al-Si-Gu-Pb계 베어링합금을 제조하였다. 베어링합금이 급냉응고법으로 제조되었기 때문에 합금의 기지에는 Cu가 과포된 상태로 존재하여 석출경화에 앞서 행하여지는 용체화처리와 같은 효과가 얻어졌다. 본 실험에서는 Cu가 과포화된 기지를 갖는 주조상태의 시료를 시효열처리하여 석출경화된 베어링합금을 얻어서 석출경화에 의한 기지강화가 베어링합금의 내마모성질에 어떠한 효과를 가져오는지 규명하였다.

In this study, microstructural changes due to extrusion, rolling and heat treatment were studied to fabricate Al-4.0wt%Zn-1.5wt%Mg-0.9wt%Cu alloys with homogeneous microstructure suitable for metal cases of smart phones and electronic products fabricated through plastic working. After extrusion microstructure and texture were developed very differently on the surface and inside. Inside, coarse grains were formed and a strong Cube component orientation was developed. On the surface, a weak texture was developed with small grains. After 72% cold rolling the intensity of the Cube component orientation was lower, and uniform texture was developed in all the layers and the R-value was uniformly predicted. After recrystallization, the grain size difference between at the surface and the inside is smaller, when 72% rolling was performed, indicating that a uniform structure is formed. Texture develops almost randomly after recrystallization and exhibits uniform R-values at all layers.

The increasing demand for automotive industries to reduce the weight of the vehicles has led to a growing usage of Al alloy powder metallurgy (P/M) parts. In order to control the sintered microstructure and mechanical properties of the aluminium alloy powder metallurgical (P/M) parts, it is essential to establish a fundamental understanding of the microstructural development during the sintering process. This paper presents a detailed study of the effect of temperature and initial starting materials on the evolution of microstructure during the sintering of Al-Cu-Mg-Si blends for PM.

The purpose of this study is to obtain basic information on the particle dispersion, the coefficient of thermal expansion and the thermal conductivity of compocasted Al-xSi-2Cu-1Mg/ySiC(x:6, 12, 18. $y:0{\sim}10wt.%$) composite. With increasing the content of SiC particles, the thermal expension coefficient and the thermal conductivity decrease. The coefficient of thermal expension between 20 and $300^{\circ}C$ is $21.3{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C{\sim}18.0{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$ for the Al-Si alloys and $18.4{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C{\sim}16.0{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$ for the composite with 10wt.% SiC. The thermal conductivity at $300^{\circ}C$ is $121{\sim}169W{\cdot}m^{-1}{\cdot}k^{-1}$ for the Al-Si alloys and $114{\sim}159W{\cdot}m^{-1}{\cdot}k^{-1}$ for the composite with 10wt.% SiC.

The solidification behavior of the squeeze cast composites of aluminum alloys reinforced with boron fiber($100{\mu}m$) and silicon carbide fibers($140{\mu}m$ and $15{\mu}m$) were investigated. Al-4.5wt%Cu and Al-l0wt%Mg were chosen for the matrix phase of the composites. In the squeeze cast specimen with high thermal difference between fiber and melt, the average secondary dendrite arm spacing(DAS) in reinforced alloy is smaller than that in unreinforced alloy. It was also observed that primary ${\alpha}$ and non-equilibrium eutectic, which seems to be penetrated and solidified at the final stage of the solidification of the matrix, are irregularly distributed around fibers. It is considered that cold fibers serve as heterogeneous nucleation site. While in the remelted and resolidified specimen without temperature difference, the DAS was not changed with reinforcement and microstructure reveals non-equilibrium eutectic with relatively uniform thickness around fibers. It might be evident the nucleation starts at interfiber region. Microsegregation decreases with the decrease in cooling rate and with reinforcement in the as-squeeze cast specimen. Al-10wt% Mg alloy shows less microsegregation than Al-4.5wt%Cu alloy.

Formation of oxide inclusions in the molten aluminium alloys during solidification is investigated. The oxidation tendency of both Al-4.5wt%Cu and Al-7wt%Si alloys is increased with melt temperature, particularly over $700^{\circ}C$. However, an Al-5wt%Mg alloy exhibits a decreasing mode over $800^{\circ}C$. The oxidation behavior with holding time shows the S curve shape for all of the alloys. It is shown that the mechanism of oxidation of Al-5wt%Mg alloy has a two step process different from that of Al-4.5wt%Cu and Al-7wt%Si alloys. The species and morphology of oxide inclusions in each alloy is also shown. The microstructure was more coarsened during solidification when the melt contains a large amount of oxide inclusion than when it doesn't. This result can be explained in terms of both the hindrance of heat extraction by oxide film formed on the aluminium melt and the difference of heat capacity between the aluminium melt and oxide inclusion during solidification.

This study describes the feasibility of producing high-strength Al alloy sheet with a high solute content using a combined technique of twin-roll strip casting and asymmetric rolling. The Al sheet produced in this study exhibited excellent formability ($\overline{r}$ =1.0, $\Delta$r=0.16) and mechanical properties ($\sigma_{TS}$~305 MPa, $\epsilon$~33%), that, cannot be feasibly obtained via the conventional technique based on ingot casting and rolling. The structural origin of the observed properties, especially enhanced formability, was clarified by examining the evolution of textures associated with strip casting and subsequent thermo-mechanical treatments. Our evaluation of the mechanical properties and formability leads us to conclude that the combination of strip casting and asymmetric rolling is a feasible process for enhancing the formability of Al alloy sheets to the level beyond what the conventional techniques can reach.
