Blanking is one of the most frequently used processes in sheet metal forming. In this paper, attention is paid to the blanking simulation of aluminium foil with $20{\mu}m$ thickness which is used an anode in lithium-ion polymer battery. In order to study the shearing mechanism for the metallic foil, finite element analysis with Crockroft and Latham fracture criterion was performed. The objective of the present work is to evolve a methodology to obtain the optimum punch-die clearance for a given aluminium foil by the simulation of the blanking process using a general purpose FEM code.

This study is analyzed by impact simulation according to material property at terminal case of hand phone. Maximum equivalent stress or strain at plastic is 40 times as great as that at magnesium alloy. And the next greatest stress or strain is shown at aluminium alloy. The value of maximum equivalent stress is shown as 6.5 Mpa in case of plastic, magnesium alloy and aluminium alloy. Maximum shear strain at plastic is 40 times as great as that at magnesium alloy. And the next greatest strain is shown at aluminium alloy. The value of deformation or strain at magnesium alloy and aluminium alloy is not different.

Steel elements are widely used for temporary structures on every construction site. but despite its strong resistences against heavy concrete volumes, they are easily eroded by oxygens in the space as times have been gone. If they are used several times in the construction fields, their elements are rusted and deformed and the strength is gradually reduced through the weak part. From this point of view, aluminum pipe support has been developed in stead of steel pipe sopport with enhancing durability against oxygens all the more. The developed aluminium pipe support has been lighter than steel unit, so workability has been improved. In another advantage of aluminium pipe support, different level control is possible with being equipped with the level control nut which enables the length adjustment of aluminium pipe support and the collapse of aluminum pipe support could be also prevented from the structures in the long term.

This paper investigates the correlation between surface roughness and gloss of aluminium sheet painted waterborne paint. One customer criterion of automotive quality is the as-painted appearance of the final products. Especially, the current emphasis on control of surface roughness of sanded aluminium sheet has been prompted by the automotive industry's concern with the as-painted appearance. because the influence of such characteristics on paintability, and painted appearance is important in defining outer panel requirements for automobile. This paper is dedicated primarily to the issue of painted appearance and reviews for improvement of roughness. The conclusions are obtained as follows ; 1) Painted aluminium sheet appearance is strongly affected by surface roughness of base-metal and influenced by sand paper and sanding method. 2) The painted appearance of aluminium sheets was determined and related to surface roughness parameters, combination of sand paper.

Influence of electrochemical etching conditions on capacitance gain of aluminium electrolytic on capacitor foil has been investigated by etching cubic textured high purity aluminum foil in dilute hydrochloric acid. Uniformly distributed etch pit tunnels on aluminum surface have been obtained by pretreatment aluminium foil in 10% NaOH solution for 5 minutes followed by electrochemical etching. Electrostatic capacitance of etched aluminium foil anodized to high voltage increased with the increase of current density, total charge, temperature and concentration of electrolyte up to maximum CV-value and then deceased. Election optical observation of the etched foil revealed that the density of etch of etch pits increased with the increase of current density and concentration of electrolyte. this increase of etch pit density enlarged of the increase of capacitance. However, abnormal high current density and high electrolyte concentration induced the local dissolution of the foil surface which resulted the decrease of foil capacitance.

Water-soluble cutting fluids are used for processing of aluminium materials. This short article describes properties of new additives of water-soluble cutting fluids for aluminium materials. Various Diels-Alder adducts of unsaturated fatty acids with acrylic acid of maleic anhydride were prepared by thermal reactions. Triethanolamine salts of Diels-Alder adducts of dehydrated castor oil fatty acids with acrylic acid or maleic anhydride showed excellent anti-corrosion property of aluminium materals. These thermal adducts showed anti-rust property for cast-iron chips, too.

Titanium-Boron-Aluminium master alloys are used extensively to grain-refine a wide range of aluminium alloys. This experiment was performed by various amounts of AlTi5B1 addition to the technical aluminium alloys, and also by changing cast temperature and hold time of the melts. The macrostructures were shown that with increasing the addition of AlTi5B1 to the melts, the grain became finer. In the case of cast temperature high enough over $900^{\circ}C$, the grain became coarser, but hold time change not affected on the grain refinement. Particles of $TiAl_3$, and $TiB_2$ were found in the grains and grainboundaries. The important role of grain refinement in this experiment were mainly $TiAl_3$, and also $TiB_2$ those have been confirmed in TEM, SEM, EDS, WDX and X-ray diffraction.

High strength PM aluminium alloys Al-Zn-Mg-Cu (7075 type) were studied by using commercially available powder blends and the sinter-forging technique for component production. Principal areas of focus include the response to PM processing, micro structural assessment and material properties of Aluminium sinter forged products. Green preforms are successfully sintered to near full density by solid-supersolidus liquid phase sintering. Sinter forging method can produce components with net shape and mechanical characteristics of the material have improved greatly. Properties of this new PM Al-alloy were found to be reproducible in an industrial production environment.

Recently social demand to achieve low fuel consumption and clean emission requires the development of new generation vehicle beyond the conventional vehicle concept. In this point, new generation vehicle is newly designed as electric vehicle, hybrid electric vehicle, fuel cell electric vehicle or 3 liter car etc. In order to develop new generation vehicle, it is very important to develop new materials and process technologies now. In this paper these new technologies are presented focusing on weight reduction specially. Steel body can be achieved 20-25% weight reduction by adoption of high strength steel and new process technologies, i.e tailored blank and hydroforming. Aluminium body can be achieved 40-50% weigt down by use of all aluminium monocoque body or aluminium space frame with aluminium panel. Plasitic composite body can be achieved 30% weight reduction comparing with conventional steel body.
