The reaction characteristics of aluminum-copper(II) oxide composites initiated by the electrostatic discharge were studied as changing the aluminum particle size. Three different sizes of aluminum particles with nano-size copper(II)-oxide particle were used in the study. These composites were manufactured by two methods i.e. a shock-gel method and a self-assembly method. The larger aluminum particle size was, the less sensitive and less violent these composites were based on the electrostatic test. On the analysis of high speed camera about ignition appearances and burning time, the burning speed was faster when aluminum particle size was smaller.

It is well-known that the bond strength between CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) and aluminum is significantly affected by the surface treatment of the CFRP and the aluminum. This study investigates the surface treatment of CFRP to improve the T-peel strength of CFRP/aluminum composites. The surface of %CFRP([0^0]_{14})$ was treated by the ion assisted reaction method under oxygen environment. T-peel strength tests were performed based on the procedure of ASTM D1876-95. The T-peel strength of surface-treated CFRP/aluminum composites was compared with that of untreated CFRP/aluminum composites. The results showed that the T-peel strength of surface-treated CFRP/aluminum composites was about 5.5 times higher than that of untreated CFRP/aluminum composites. SEM examination showed that the improvement of T-peel strength was attributed to the uniform spread and fracture of epoxy adhesive.

In this study, static axial crush tests were performed with the new aluminum/GFRP hybrid tube. Glass/Epoxy prepregs were wrapped around an aluminum tube and co-cured. The failure of the hybrid tube was stable and progressive without trigger mechanism, and specific energy absorption was increased to the maximum of 33% in comparison with the aluminum tube. Effective energy absorption is possible for an inner aluminum tube because a wrapped composite tube constrains the deflection of an aluminum tube. The failure of a hybrid composite tube was stable without trigger mechanism because the inner aluminum tube could play the role of the crack initiator and controller. Mean crushing load could be calculated by modifying the plastic hinge collapse model for hybrid materials. The predicted results by this analytical model showed good agreement with the experimental results. It can be said that Aluminum/Glass-Epoxy hybrid tube is suitable for the vehicle front structure because this hybrid tube shows effective energy absorption, easy production, and simple application capability for RTM process.

Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) aluminum composite powders were deposited to form coatings using a high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying process. High thermal energy and contact with atmospheric oxygen were supplied as the MWCNT aluminum composite particles were exposed to a gas flow field at high temperature (${\sim}3.0{\times}10^3$ K) during HVOF spraying. As a result, the particles underwent full or partial melting and rapid solidification due to the high thermal energy, and the exposure to oxygen induced the interfacial reaction of MWCNTs within the particle. The electrical and mechanical properties of MWCNT aluminum composite coatings were evaluated based on microstructure analysis. Electrical resistivity, elastic modulus, and micro-hardness, of the MWCNT aluminum composite coatings were higher than those of pure aluminum coating. The contribution of MWCNTs to the aluminum matrix can be attributed to their high electrical conductivity, dispersion hardening and anchoring effects. The relationship among the properties and the interaction of the MWCNTs with the aluminum matrix is discussed.

Waste aluminum dross was processed to prepare alum with sulfuric acid, and poly aluminum chloride(PAC) with hydrochloric acid. Metallic aluminum remained in the waste dross was dissolved into the sulfuric acid solution, and the solution could be used as alum for water treatment chemicals after adjusting the required alumina concentration and pH of the solution. Also, it was dissolved into the hydrochloric acid solution and processed to make PAC solution. Compared with the conventional method for preparation of alum and PAC using aluminum hydroxide, material cost could be saved in this method. Also, there is an additional merit in view of recycling of the waste aluminum dross by reducing the amount of waste disposed to landfill.

To analyze vertical fire spreadability of aluminum composite panel, real scale test of aluminum composite panel and fire retardant aluminum composite panel was conducted as well as analysis of domestic code, test and domestic reaserch resulted in following conclusion. Fire spread risk assessment of aluminum Composite Panel is impossible with the current regulations (Cone Calorimeter Test). It need to changes of regulatory and combustion expanded risk assessment and regulatory changes in the test methods need to be judged. Also, there is quite a big different between the general aluminum Composite Panel and semi-non combustible of aluminum Composite Panel. However it is also deemed to be danger when present in the sidewall to the top consisting of fire spread. From now on, it is needed the study about interpretation of fire spread and sidewall of vertical fire spread analysis not only experiments for aluminum Composite Panel.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between aluminum form work and noise-induced deafness by conducting special health examination on construction aluminum worker and noise measurement at the workplace. All the 11 aluminum form workers were diagnosed with noise-induced deafness after holding a special health examination. The workers have not had any previous history of noise-induced deafness which indicates that aluminum form work is related to noise-induced deafness disease. The impact noise of 120 dB(A)~125 dB(A), which exceeds the regulations of industrial safety and health act, was found during the dismantling rather than installation when noise measurement was made at the aluminum workplace. The aluminum form workers could permanently lose the hearing sense if they are exposed to this impact noise. This study is to suggest the method to prevent noise-induced deafness for aluminum form workers by firstly giving out hearing protection equipment at the construction site and secondly installing rubber mat, soundproof panel as well as changing the noise-lowering technique.

As(V) adsorption on aluminum oxide powder which was recycled from industrial wastes containing aluminum hydroxide was evaluated. Aluminum oxide powder in this study was prepared by calcinating aluminum hydroxide wastes at$550^{\circ}C$. Spectroscopic analysis indicated that the aluminum hydroxide wastes were changed to aluminum oxide by calcination. Arsenic adsorption isotherm was conducted with variation of ionic strength and multiple-ion systems using Ca(II) and Cu(II). As(V) removal showed typical anionic adsorption characteristics that the removal efficiency decreased with increasing pH in single As(V) system as well as in binary and ternary system. More than 80% of As(V) at an initial concentration of $5{\times}10^{-5}$ M was removed from aluminum oxide powder in As(V) single system. The effect of ionic strength on As(V) adsorption was negligible, which indicated the strong bonding between aluminum oxide powder and As(V). The removal efficiency of As(V) was higher in a binary system with Cu(II) than in a binary system with Ca(II).

As the government encourages the replacement of small FRP ships with eco-friendly aluminum ships due to environmental pollution problems, interest and demand for small aluminum ships are increasing. It is known that the vibration and noise of aluminum ships are somewhat vulnerable than that of FRP ships. However, in the process of designing and manufacturing small aluminum fishing boats, vibration and noise are not reviewed. In this study, vibration analysis is performed on three existing aluminum fishing boats, and the vibration characteristics of small aluminum boats are identified. Through this study, we intend to contribute to improving the vibration quality of small aluminum ships.
