Scandium(Sc) in Al-Zn-Mg-Cu based Al alloy on precipitation phenomenon was compared to a 7001(Al-7.2%Zn-3.2%Mg-1.8%Cu) Al alloy. GP zone and ${\eta}^{\prime}$ phases were the main strengthening phases at low aging temperature under $100^{\circ}C$, but ${\eta}^{\prime}$ and $Al_3Sc$ phases were the main strengthening phases at high aging temperature above $1600^{\circ}C$ in Sc added 7000(Al-7.7%Zn-2.0%Mg-1.9%Cu-0.1%Zr) Al alloy. With the addition of 0.1%Sc in 7000 Al alloy, the activation energy for the GP zone, ${\eta}^{\prime}$ and ${\eta}$ phase decreased compared to the 7001 Al alloy. This result indicates that the Sc accelerated the precipitation for the GP zone, ${\eta}^{\prime}$ and ${\eta}$ phases in 7000 Al alloy. Al-7.7%Zn-2.0%Mg-1.9%Cu-0.1%Zr-0.1 Sc alloy has higher strength than 7001 Al alloy, which has high strength.

Al-Cu-Si 3원계 공정합금의 응고거동과 미세조직 변화를 이해하기 위해서, 금형 예열온도를 달리하여 Al-Cu-Si 3원계 공정합금의 미세조직 변화를 관찰하였다. 금형 예열온도가 500℃일 때, 초정 Si과 덴드라이트 형상의 Al2Cu상이 관찰되며, 이후 (α-Al+Al2Cu)의 2원계 공정상이 관찰된다. 금형 예열온도가 300℃일 때 미제조직은 금형 예열온도가 500℃일 때와 유사하나 (α-Al+Al2Cu+Si)의 3원계 공정상이 관찰되는 영역과 관찰되지 않는 영역이 나타난다. 금형 예열온도가 150℃인 경우에는 미세조직이 (α-Al+Al2Cu)의 2원계 공정상과 (α-Al+Al2Cu+Si)의 3원계 공정상이 관찰되는 Bimodal 구조를 나타낸다. 금형 예열온도를 달리 하였을 때 가장 큰 변화를 나타내는 상은 Si상이며, 임계냉각속도를 지나면 (α-Al+Al2Cu+Si)의 3원계 공정상이 형성되는 순간에 빠른 냉각에 의한 Si의 성장이 억제되면 Cooperative 성장을 하기 때문에 Al, Cu의 성장도 함께 억제된다. 서로 다른 합금설계 전산모사 프로그램을 통해 Al-27wt%Cu-5wt%Si의 3원계 공정 합금을 분석한 결과, 합금설계 전산모사 프로그램에 따라 결과의 차이가 발생하며, 전산모사의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해서는 실제 주조를 통한 미세조직 분석이 수반되어야 한다.

The effects of scandium addition on the Al-6Si-2Cu Alloy were investigated. The Al-6Si-2Cu-Sc alloy was prepared by gravity die casting process. In this study, scandium was added at 0.2 wt%, 0.4 wt%, 0.8 wt%, and 1.0 wt%. The microstructure of Al-6Si-2Cu-Sc alloy was investigated using Optical Microscope, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope, Electron Back Scatter Diffraction, and Transmission Electron microscope. The microstructure of Al-6Si-2Cu alloy with scandium added changed from dendrite structure to equiaxed crystal structure in specimens of 0.4 wt% Sc or more, and coarse needle-shape eutectic Si and β-Al₅FeSi phases were segmented and refined. The nanosized Al₃Sc intermetallic compound was observed to be uniformly distributed in the modified Al matrix.

Generally, material for radiator of automobile is composed of Al-alloy, but part of radiator material is still composed of Cu. Specially, Al-alloy replaces Cu and Cu-alloy as cooling and heating system material for light weight. Therefore, galvanic electronic cell is formed between Al-alloy and Cu for automobile radiator material, and Al-alloy corrosion is accelerated. So, in this study, galvanic corrosion test of Al-alloy coupling with Cu was carried out in distilled water, tap water, polluted environment and non-freezing solution. And thus corrosion potential and galvanic currrent density of Al-alloy coupling with Cu is investigated.

The effect of alloying elements of Ag-Cu-Zr-X brazing alloy on the microstructure and the bond strength of $Al_2O_3/Ni-Cr$ brazed steel joint was investigated. The reaction layer, $ZrO_2$ (a=5.146 ${\AA}$ , b=5.213 ${\AA}$ , c=5.311 ${\AA}$ )was formed at the interface of $Al_2O_3/Ni-Cr$ steel joint by the redox reaction between alumina and Zr. The addition of An and Al to the Ag-Cu-Zr brazing alloy gave rise to changes in the thickness of the reaction product layer and the morphology of the brazement. Sn caused the segregation of Zr was decreased b Al the $ZrO_2$ layer formed at the Ag-Cu-Zr-Al alloy was thinner than that of $ZrO_2$ formed at the Ag-Cu-Zr-An alloy. The fracture shear strength was strongly dependent on the microstructure of the brazement. Brazing with Ag-Cu-Zr-Sn alloy resulted in a better bond strength than with Ag-Cu-Zr or Ag-Cu-Zr-Al alloy.

The effects of modification processing on the refinement of primary Si and the wear behavior of hyper-eutectic Al-Si alloys have been mainly investigated. Refining effects of primary Si in Al-17%Si alloy was more efficient than that of B.390 alloy. Optimum condition of getting the finest primary Si microstructure was when AlCuP modifier is added into the melt at $750^{\circ}C$ and held it at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. Wear loss in the specimens of as-cast condition decreases as the size of primary Si decreases, in the order of B.390 alloy, B.390 alloy with AlCuP addition, Al-17%Si alloy and Al-17%Si alloy with AlCuP addition. Wear loss in the aged condition of Al-17%Si alloy, B.390 alloy and B.390 alloy with AlCuP addition decreased due to the increase of compressive residual stress in the matrix by the aging treatment. While, wear loss increased in the aged specimens of Al-17%Si alloy with AlCuP addition and Hepworth addition in which compressive residual stress decreases by the aging treatment. Therefore, it is assumed that higher compressive residual stress in the matrix can reduce the wear loss in composite materials such as hyper-eutectic Al-Si alloys.

The effects of In and Be additions on the aging behaviors and mechanical properties in the Al-Cu-Li alloy were investigated using the transmission electron microscope, the scanning electron microscope, hardness and tensile strength measurement. The aging is promoted and the double hardness peak is appeared by the addition of In and Be in the Al-Cu-Li alloy. The strength is increased, but the elongation and toughness are decreased by the addition of In in the Al-Cu-Li alloy. And the Al-Cu-Li-In-Be alloy has good combination with the strength, the elogation and toughness than Al-Cu-Li-In alloy.

The age hardening behavior and mechanical properties of an extruded Al-Zn-Mg-(Cu)-0.1 wt.%Sc alloy were investigated with the Sc addition and ageing temperature. The results showed that the $Al_3Sc$ compounds were formed by Sc addition and distributed preferentially along the extrusion direction. The age hardening of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-0.1 wt.%Sc alloy which was treated by T6 process was more significant than that of Al-Zn-Mg-0.1 wt.%Sc alloy. The tensile property of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu+0.1 wt.%Sc alloy was also higher than that of Al-Zn-Mg-0.1 wt.%Sc alloy, which is 691 MPa and 584 MPa in strength and 9% and 11% in elongation, respectively.

Effects of the microstrucrure of rapidy solidified Al-Pb-Cu-Mg alloys on the wear investigated. In order to overcome the miscility gap between Al and pb under equilibrium conditions, both in the solid and the liquid states, the alloy were rapidy solidifies to produce them in a segregation-free condition. Although the Pb particles showed relatively fine dispersion in the Al matrix in all the alloys by this process. the Al-16Pb alloy was found to have the most favorable microstructure with discretre with discrete Pb particles of abount 0.5 ${\mu}$m in size. With the addition of Cu and Cu-Mg to Al-16Pb, cellular structures were newly formed; not seen in the binary Al-Pb alloy. Wear properties of the Al-Pb binary alloys measured as a function of the sliding speen, sliding distance, and applied load showed that the Al-16Pb alloy has the best wear resistance, as expected from the fine microstructural features in this alloy. The were resistance of the alloy containing Cu-and Cu-Mg was higher than that of the Al-16Pvb alloy, due to matrix strengthening by precipitation hardeing. The wear mechanism was identified by examining the traces and wear debris.

Effect of Cu addition on oxide growth of Al-7 mass%Mg alloy at high temperature was investigated. As-cast microstructures of Al-7 mass%Mg and Al-7 mass%Mg-1 mass%Cu alloys showed α-Al dendrites and area of secondary particles. The 1 mass%Cu addition into Al-7 mass%Mg alloy formed Mg₃₂(Al, Cu)₄₉ ternary phase with β-Al₃Mg₂. The total fraction of two Mg-containing phases in Cu-added alloy was higher than the β-Al₃Mg₂ fraction in Cu-free alloy. From measured weight gains depending on time at 500℃ under an air atmosphere, it was shown that all samples exhibited significant weight gains depending on time. Al-7mass%Mg-1mass%Cu alloy showed the relatively increased oxidation rate when compared with Cu-free alloy. All the oxidized cross-sections throughout the entire oxidation time showed coarse and dark areas regarded as oxides grown from the surface to inside, but bigger oxidized areas were formed in the Al-7mass%Mg-1mass%Cu alloy containing higher fraction of Mg-based phases in the as-cast microstructure. As a result of compositional analysis on the oxide clusters, it was found that the oxide clusters contained Mg-based oxides formed through internal oxidation during a long time exposure to oxidizing environments.
