The influences of Cu and Mg addition on wear properties of SiC particulate reinforced Al-Si metal(alloy) matrix composites were investigated. Metal matrix composites were prepared by combination of compocasting and hot pressing techniques. The main results obtained are as follows : 1) The composite with Mg addition exhibits letter wear resistance than that with Cu addition. It is considered that Mg addition improved wettability of matal matrix composite by the strong segregation to the SiC / Al matrix interface. 2) After homogenization treatment, it was found that the interfacial segregation of Mg was predominant, while that of Cu was not detected. 3) The SiC / Al-11Si eutectic composite exhibits better wear resistance than the SiC / Al-6Si hypoeutectic composite does. 4) It seems that the increase in the amount of Mg addition affects on the uniform dispersion of SiC particulates, on the refinement of microstructure and on age hardening and these effects cause wear resistance improvement of composites.

7000계 알루미늄 합금은 다른 Al 합금에 비해 강도가 우수하여 주목을 받고있으며, 7000계 알루미늄 빌렛은 일반적으로 Direct-Chill (DC) 주조 공정을 통해 제조된다. DC 주조 공정으로 제조된 알루미늄 빌렛의 표면 결함은 주로 Exudation과 Meniscus freezing 현상과 관련이 있으며, 이는 합금 성분, 주조 속도 및 주조 온도의 영향을 받는다. 특히, 7000계 알루미늄 합금은 응고 과정에서 응고 온도 범위가 넓어 주조 결함이 발생하기 쉽다. 본 연구에서는 DC 주조 공정에 의해 제조된 Al-8Zn-2Mg-2Cu 합금 빌렛에 대한 표면 결함 변화에 대하여 조사하였다. 빌렛의 표면은 "Wavy" 또는 "Dot" 표면으로 관찰되었다. Wavy 표면은 낮은 주조 속도(200mm/min)와 온도(655℃)에서 Meniscus freezing 현상에 의해 형성되었으며, Concave 영역에서 Meniscus freezing 현상으로 인한 조성작 과냉으로 인해 미세한 수지상 조직이 관찰되었다. 반면에, 주조 온도가 높은 조건(675℃)에서는 Dot 표면이 기공 형성에 의해 형성되었으며, 높은 주조 속도(230mm/min)에서 제조된 Dot 표면을 갖는 빌렛에서는 높은 금속 수두압에 의해 Exudation 층이 형성되었다. Exudation 층의 Dot 영역과 Smooth 영역은 각각 미세한 수지상 형태와 주상정 형태의 조직이 관찰되었으며 이는 Dot 영역에서 가스 기공의 형성에 의한 결과이다.

The effect of alloying elements, precipitate size, its distribution, and dislocation substructure resulted from warm rolling or cold rolling in the superplastic Al-Mg alloy system was investigated. One of the major requirements for fine structure superplasticity is that the grain size should be very small. Fine grain structure is controlled by the dislocation substructure and the dynamic recrystallization during hot or warm working. The recovery of Al-Mg base alloys was constrained resulting in relatively high dislocation density when the alloys were warm rolled. In particular, Al-Mg-Zr alloy exhibited the smallest sub-grain size among Al-Mg alloys containing Mn, Cu, Zr as a third element. The Al-Mg-Mn alloy cold rolled 80% after hot rolling showed the maximun strain rate sensitivity exponent, m, of 0.75 under strain rate of $7.1{\times}10^{-4}/s$ at $500^{\circ}C$. The elongation of the alloys was limited in spite of high m values due to large dispersoids containing appreciable amount of Fe impurities.

오원계 AI-합금의 용융산화에 의한 $AI_2O_3$ 복합재료의 형성속도와 미세구조에 대하여 연구하였다. AI-1Mg-3Si-3Zn 합금과 AI-1Mg-3Si-5Zn합금에 Cu, Ni 각각을 1% 무게비로 첨가하였다. 각 오원계 합금은 1373K, 1473K에서 최대 20시간 동안 산화시켰으며, 산화속도는 무게증가 측정을 통하여 조사하였다. 산화층의거시적 형상과 미세구조를 광학현미경으로 관찰하였다. AI-1Mg-3Si-5Zn-1Cu 합금이 가장 우수한 산화거동을 보였으나, 산화층이 불균일하였다. 합금위에 $SiO_2$를 도포하였더니 산화속도가 증진되었으며, 균일하고 조직이 친밀한 산화층이 얻어졌다.

Effects of aging treatment on the microstructures and microhardness of a rapidly solidified Al-Li-Cu-Mg-Zr alloy were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The as-melt-spun ribbon was consisted of fine ${\delta}^{\prime}$ and icosahedral intermetallic compound which were precipitated in the matrix. Two exothermic peaks with the range of $120^{\circ}C-190^{\circ}C$ and $280^{\circ}C-344^{\circ}C$ corresponded to ${\delta}^{\prime}$ and ${\theta}^{\prime}$, S', $T_1$ precipitating reaction respectively, and two endothermic peaks with the range of $190^{\circ}C-280^{\circ}C$ and $344^{\circ}C-550^{\circ}C$ corresponded to dissolution of ${\delta}^{\prime}$ and ${\theta}^{\prime}$, S', $T_1$ respectively in DSC curves. Peak hardness value was obtained at $210^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr aging treatment.

Heat-treatable Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy sheets, which are expected to have a growing demand, were fabricated by Cross rolling to improve their formability. The mechanical properties and texture of the sheets after the final annealing process were investigated by a tensile test, EBSD and XRD analysis. The grain size of the cross-rolled sheets was remarkably decreased compared to conventional rolled sheets, and the R-value of the cross-rolled sheets was notably increased by about one and a half times that of the conventional rolled sheet. Cube{001}<100> and cubic system orientations were strongly developed in conventional rolled sheets. However, randomized textures were formed in the cross-rolled sheets without specific texture. It is thought that much shear deformation was induced during the cross rolling. The results show that the cross rolling method is effective for improving the R-value of aluminum alloys sheets and their grain refinement. As a result, it is considered that cross rolling is effective for improving formability.

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.

CV graphite cast iron has been studied and generally known to have properties close to the average values of those between flake and spheroidal graphite cast iron. However, the thermal diffusivity of CV graphite cast iron is much larger than that of the average value of those between flake and spheroidal graphite cast iron. In this study, an easy production method of CV graphite cast iron with small additions of a Al-Cu which is known as the element of the graphitization was investigated. The effects of hold time and of Al-Cu additions after the treatments with spheroidizer (Fe-Si-Mg alloy) were also investigated. Increasing the additions of a Al-Cu alloy, the holding time to form a CV graphite cast iron was decreasing. Tensile strength and thermal diffusivity (flash method) were measured in order to find the changes of the mechanical properties and the physical properties. Spheroidal, CV, and flake graphite cast iron have tensile strengths 46.44, 38.29, and $27.29\;kg/mm^2$ and thermal diffusivities $3.95{\times}10^{-6,}$ $8.41{\times}10^{-6}$, $8.81{\times}10^{-6}m^2/sec$, respectively at room temperature.

The effects of aging treatment sequence, specifically pre-aging and post-aging, on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloys has been studied in comparison to symmetrically rolled specimens. In symmetrically rolled specimens, a straight-band precipitation distribution was observed, whereas asymmetrically rolled specimens exhibited a curved-band microstructure of fine precipitates. Notably, the asymmetrically rolled specimens displayed higher strengths. In the case of post-aging, the aging process occurred after rolling, and the dislocations generated during rolling acted as nucleation sites for precipitates during aging. This resulted in the formation of fine precipitates, contributing to improved mechanical properties compared to symmetric rolling. To enhance strength of the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloys, asymmetric rolling proves to be more effective than symmetric rolling, with post-aging showing greater efficacy than pre-aging.
