This study investigated the effect of extrusion conditions on microstructures and mechanical properties of AM80 magnesium alloys. The billets of magnesium alloy used for hot extrusion were prepared by permanent mold casting method, and its extrusion was hot direct extrusion with different extrusion conditions. The results of microstructural analysis showed that the main phases in the as-casted alloys were ${\alpha}-Mg$, ${\beta}-Mg_{17}Al_{12}$, and lamella $Mg_{17}Al_{12}$. Hot extrusion results, The tensile strength of the most soundly manufactured extruded bars (extrusion temp: $350^{\circ}C$, extrusion ratio: 27:1, ram speed: 2mm/s) was approximately 327MPa at room temperature. The increase in the mechanical properties of hot-extruded alloys was as a result of grain refinement by dynamical recrystallization during hot extrusion.

Phylon molds are widely used for injection molding of foams used in shoe outsoles. Injection pylon molds are usually prepared by first casting the aluminum alloy and then applying an anodized coating to improve durability. This study was carried out to examine the durability of aluminum phylon molds. The aluminum materials used in this study were A771, A6061, and AC4C, and their mechanical properties were compared. Specimens for anodic oxidation tests were prepared with coating thicknesses of approximately 10 and 40 ㎛. We tried to select the optimum material and coating thickness suitable for fabricating phylon injection molds. Among the three materials, A6061 exhibited the best tensile, wear, and impact properties. The difference in the wear resistance between the soft- and hard-anodized coatings was insignificant.

Solvent-casting 공정을 통해서 제조되는 전형적인 Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM)과는 달리, 일종의 Bulk-Molding Compounds (BMC) Process와 유사한 공정을 사용하여서 실리카 나노 입자들이 나노 크기로 분산된 PEM을 제조하였다. 즉, 반응성 분산제인 Urethane Acrylate Nonionomer (UAN)와 Styrene, Styrene Sulfonic Acid (NaSS), 실리카 나노입자를 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) 단일 용매에 혼합시키고 라디칼 개시제 존재 하에서 Mold내에서 공중합을 수행하면, 표면 특성이 각기 다른 실리카 나노 입자들이 나노 크기로 분산된 Poly(urethane acrylate-styrene-styrene sulfonic acid) random copolymer Membrane 즉 일종의 실리카/고분자 Nanocomposite Membrane이 제조될 수 있었다. 실리카 나노 입자들의 Membrane에서의 분산성은 TEM을 이용하여서 확인할 수 있었다. 제조된 Membrane은 분산된 실리카 나노입자들의 표면 특성에 따라서 각기 다른 수팽윤도 및 수소이온전도도 변화 거동을 나타내었다. Membrane에 친수성 실리카 나노 입자들이 분산된 경우에는, Membrane의 수팽윤도가 다소 증가되었지만 거의 일정한 수소 이온 전도도를 나타내었다. 그러나 Membrane의 메탄올 투과도는 상대적으로 크게 감소되었다. 반면에 Membrane에 분산된 소수성 실리카 나노 입자들이 분산된 경우에는, 수팽윤도는 크게 감소되었지만 수소 이온전도도는 거의 변화하지 않았다. 즉 소수성 실리카 나노입자들은 소수성 도메인에 분산되어서 친수성 도메인이 팽윤되는 것을 억제시키지만 수소 이온전도성에는 영향을 미치지 않기 때문이다. 따라서 membrane의 수팽윤도와 수소이온전도성을 실리카 나노 입자들의 표면 특성을 이용하여서 자유로이 조절이 가능하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 흥미로운 것은 실리카 나노 입자를 membrane에 분산시키는 것만으로도 수소 이온 전도성을 유지시키면서 수팽윤도를 현저하게 저하시킬 수 있다는 것이다.

The $SiC_p-reinforced$ preforms fabricated by spray casting process were hot-extruded and subsequently T6-treated, and the morphology of the silicon phase and the grain size for these preforms and extruded samples were examined by Image Analyzer. Experimental observation revealed that with increase in volume percent of SiC particles, the grain size and silicon phase of the $Al-Si/SiC_p$ composites become finer, the shape of Si phase is changed from blocky to granular type, and aspect ratio of Si phase tend to become unity. Wear-tests with various sliding velocities, show that the wear resistance of spray cast specimen is increased remarkably compare to the permanent mold cast specimen at the sliding velocity range of $1.98{\sim}2.38m/sec$.. Microstructural observations for the worn surfaces of specimens revealed that wear resistance of Al-Si alloys at certain sliding velocities could be improved not only by the fine grain size of aluminum matrix but also the fine size and granular shape of silicon phases. The wear resistance of $SiC_p$ reinforced aluminum composites was found to be sensitive to the volume percentage of the reinforcing particles. The worn surfaces with various sliding velocities, show that change in wear mechanism seems to occur at the sliding velocity of near 2m/sec for all samples, and such a change in mechanism is delayed with increase in $SiC_p$ volume fraction.

In recent years, Mg and its alloys have attracted a great deal of attention due to their low density, relatively excellent castability, and straightforward recyclability. Mg alloys have been widely applied to various industrial fields, and are representatively used in automotive and electronic parts. According to previous researches, the electrical conductivity of Mg alloys greatly decreases with increasing Al content. However, with the addition of Zn and/or Cu, the electrical conductivity of Mg alloys is maintained or slightly increased, and improved mechanical properties are obtained as well. On this basis, Mg-Zn-Cu alloys have been investigated in the present study with a focus on the effect of adding Zn and Cu on the electrical conductivity. The Zn and Cu contents ranged from 4 to 6wt.% and 0 to 1.5wt.%, respectively. Ternary Mg-Zn-Cu alloys have been prepared by gravity casting in a steel mold. In the as-casting condition, the electrical conductivity of Mg-Zn-Cu alloys showed a linear increasing trend with decreasing Zn and increasing Cu contents. Furthermore, impact values of Zn = -1.5 and Cu = 2.5 were determined for these alloys by electrical conductivity tests.

Aluminum matrix composites reinforced by fine steel wires were fabricated by squeeze casting process. Preforms made of fine steel wires were prepared with different surface conditions, namely uncoated(TN), carbo-nitriding treated(TT), and brass coated(TA). Squeeze casting were performed under the pressure of $1500kg/cm^2$ for 3min. during solidification, and pouring temp. of the melt being $750^{\circ}C$ and the steel mold being preheated at $250^{\circ}C$. Microstructural characteristics were evaluated, particularly concerned with the effect of the surface conditions of the preforms. The results obtained from this study are like these. TN specimens show partially non-wetted regions, due to easy formation of oxides on the surface of the fine steel wires. TT specimens show no interfacial reaction between the steel wires and the aluminum alloy matrix, possibly due to the formation of carbo-nitrided zone on the surface of the steel wires. TA specimens show excellent wettabillity between the reinforced steel wires and the aluminum alloy matrix and very thin interfacial zone is formed between them. During the solution hardening treatment of TA specimens, thickness of the interfacial reaction zones were increased with the solution treating time. TA specimens show typical ductile fracture in tensile test, but TT specimens show brittle fracture possibly due to the formation of the brittle hard surface on the steel wires during carbo-nitriding treatments. TA specimens which were reinforced with 40 vol.% of the fine steel wires exhibit high tensile strength of $77.1kgf/mm^2$ and impact value of $8.1kgf-m/cm^2$.

The effects of Fe and Si additions on the microstructures and mechanical properties of aluminum bronze have been investigated. In a bar-type specimen cast in a die mold, the addition of Fe promoted the dendritic solidification of the ${\alpha}$ phase. The hardness values increased slightly in the Fe-added specimen with heat treatment, while these values was increased significantly in the specimens with Si or with combined additions of Fe and Si. When a centrifugal casting bush with combined addition of Fe and Si was heat treated, the FeSi compound within the matrix was finely dispersed, and was observed to be the origin of cup-cone type conical dimple failure in the tensile fracture surface. The mechanical properties of the heat treated centrifugal casting bushes, whose nominal alloy compositions were (Cu-7.0Al-0.8Fe-3.0Si)wt%, exhibited tensile strength of $703-781N/mm^2$, elongation of 6.6-11.7% and hardness of Hv 222.6-249.2. These high values of strength and elongation were attributed to the strengthening of the matrix due to the combined addition of Fe and Si, and to precipitation of fine the FeSi compound.

강 제조 회사들은 연속주조금형의 표면을 보호하기 위해 Ni-B 또는 Ni-Co 합금 도금을 적용하고 있으며, 도금 층에 균열이 생기게 하는 황을 함유한 사카린 윤활제를 사용하고 있다. 균열 및 인장 응력을 유발하는 것은 Ni-S 화합물로 여겨진다. Ni-Mn-B 삼원합금은 Ni-S 화합물이 형성되기 이전에 Mn-S 화합물을 형성하여 균열을 억제하기 위해서 개발되었으나, Ni-Mn-B 합금 도금에 관한 국내나 해외 기준이 없다. 그리하여 새로이 개발된 Ni-Mn-B 도금을 평가하기 위한 신뢰성 평가기준을 개정하려한다. 가속수명시험을 개발하기 위해 FMEA(고장형태 영향분석)가 사용되어 도금의 주요 파괴 원인을 분석하였다. Ni-Mn-B 신뢰성 기준은 가속수명시험 방법을 포함하였고, 기본 성능 시험과 환경시험, 가속수명시험으로 분류되었으며, 80% 신뢰수준으로 B10수명 1 000시간을 보장하도록 고안되었다.
