초음파법은 종래의 금속재료는 물론 최근의 금속 복합재료등과 같은 신소재의 재료특성을 비파괴적으로 평가할 수 있는 일반적인 방법이다. 그러나 이와같은 재료들의 비파괴 특성 평가를 위해 초음파법을 적용시킬 경우 무엇보다도 재료 내부를 전파하는 탄성파의 전파특성에 대한 물리적 현상에 대한 이해가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 금속 복합재료의 제조공정에서 일반적으로 많이 발생되는 기지재와 강화재 사이의 계면 문제 및 기지재에 분포하는 강화재의 체적함유율의 변화등에 의한 유효 평면파의 다중 산란 특성을 SiC 입자강화 6061 알루미늄 복합재료에 대해 Lax의 준 결정 근사(quasi-crystalline approximation) 이론 및 소감정리 (extinction theorem)를 기초로 하여 이론적으로 해석하였다. 그 결과 SiC 입자 강화재의 체적 함유율의 변화에 대한 유효 평면파의 위상속도 및 감쇠의 주파수 의존 특성과 금속복합재료에 있어서의 기지재와 강화재 사이의 계면층의 탄성특성에 대한 위상속도의 변화 특성이 명확하게 규명되었다.

금속복합재료 개발을 위한 고온가압 성형공정은 기지재료의 비탄성거동과 성형체 내부의 기공에 대한 충진 과정을 수반하며 이러한 강화공정은 압력, 온도 그리고 강화재와 모재의 상대부피분률과 같은 공정변수의 영향을 받게 된다. 특히 티타늄금속기 복합재료의 강화공정은 강화재와 모재 사이의 기계적 혹은 열적 특성 차이 및 생산환경으로 인한 다양한 형태의 손상이 발생할 수 있으며 따라서 이들을 극복하기 위한 재료특성, 작용압력, 온도, 시간조건 등과 공정에 따른 조직의 진전 등 미소역학적 연구가 수반된 최적의 고온가압강화공정의 개발이 요구되어진다. 이를 위하여 본 연구는 VHP방식을 이용한 SiC／Ti-6Al-4V 연속섬유강화 금속기 복합재료의 강화공정실험을 수행하였으며 특히 미시역학적 접근에 따른 다공성 재료의 구성방정식을 이용하여 보강재와 기지재료의 변형거동과 고온가압공정에 필요한 다양한 조건들을 실험결과와 비교 연구하였으며 유한요소해석을 통해 공정변수와 그에 따른 결과들을 고찰하였다.

$Al_2O_3$/SiC particulate reinforced (Metal Matrix Composites) MMCs which were produced by using stir casting process, bending strength and hardening behaviour were obtained using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) technique that uses full factorial design. Factor variables and their ranges were: particle size $2-60{\mu}m$; the stirring speed 450 rpm, 500 rpm and the stirring temperature $620^{\circ}C$, $650^{\circ}C$. An empirical equation was derived from test results to describe the relationship between the test parameters. This model for the tensile strength of the hybrid composite materials with $R^2$ adj = 80% for the bending strength $R^2$ adj = 89% were generated from the data. The regression coefficients of this model quantify the tensile strength and bending strengths of the effects of each of the factors. The interactions of all three factors do not present significant percentage contributions on the tensile strength and bending strengths of hybrid composite materials. Analysis of the residuals versus was predicted the tensile strength and bending strengths show a normalized distribution and thereby confirms the suitability of this model. Particle size was found to have the strongest influence on the tensile strength and bending strength.

In the present study, AZ91Mg/$\textrm{Al}_2\textrm{O}_3$ short fiber+SiC particulates hybrid metal matrix composites(MMCs) were fabricated by squeeze casting method. Different particulate sizes of 45, 29 and $9\mu\textrm{m}$ were hybridized with 5% volume fraction to investigate the effect of SiC particulates size on microstructure, mechanical and thermal properties such as hardness, flexural strength, wear resistance and thermal expansion. Results show that the microstructure of the hybrid composites were quite satisfactory, namely revealing relatively uniform distribution of reinforcements. Some aggregation of SiC particulates caused by particle pushing was observed especially in the hybrid composites containing in fine particulates($9\mu\textrm{m}$). The hardness and flexural strength were improved by decreasing particulates size, whereas wear resistance improved by increasing particulates size because of large particulates restricting matrix wear from contacted stress. Regardless of particulates size, thermal expansion of composites was the same. This may be because the content of particulates was in all cases 5 volume fraction.1

A finite element model for the process of squeeze casting for metal matrix composites (MMCs) in cylindrical mold is developed. The fluid flow and the heat transfer are the fundamental phenomena in the squeeze casing process. To describe heat transfer with solidification of molten aluminum, the energy equation in terms of temperature and enthalpy are applied to two dimensional axisymmetric model which is similar to the experimental system. And one dimensional flow model is employed to simulate the transient metal flow. The direct iteration technique was used to solve the resulting nonlinear algebraic equations. A computer program is developed to calculate the enthalpy, temperature and fluid velocity. Cooling curves and temperature distribution during infiltration and solidification are calculated for pure aluminum. The temperature is measured and recorded experimentally. At two points of the perform inside and one point of the mold outside, thermocouple wire are installed. The time-temperature data are compared with the calculated cooling curves. The experimental results show that the finite element model can estimate the solidification time and predict the cooling process.

Low pressure casting process for unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced aluminum (UD-CF/Al) composites which is an infiltration route of molten Al into porous UD-CF preform has been a cost-effective way to obtain metal matrix composites (MMCs) but, easy to cause non-uniform fiber distribution as CF clustering. Such clustered CFs have been a problem to decrease the density and thermal conductivity (TC) of composites, due to the existence of pores in the clustered area. To obtain high thermal performance composites for heat-sink application, the relationship between fiber distribution and porosity has to be clearly investigated. In this study, the CF distribution was evaluated with quantification approach by using two-dimensional spatial distribution method as local number 2-dimension (LN2D) analysis. Note that the CFs distribution in composites sensitively changed by sizes of Cu bridging particles between the CFs added in the UD-CF preform fabrication stage, and influenced on only $LN2D_{var}$ values.

금속기지 복합재료의 미시적 파손기구는 작용하중의 방향, 재료의 열처리 상태, 기지재 및 강화재의 특성, 섬유체적률 등 여러 인자의 영향을 받는다. 이중 특히 재료의 열처리는 금속기지 복합재료의 기계적 특성을 지배하는 주요한 인자인 강화섬유와 기지재 사이의 계면특성에 큰 영향을 준다. 강화섬유와 기지재는 매우 큰 열팽창계수 차이를 가지기 때문에 금속기지 복합재료의 제조과정에 있어서 급격한 온도강하가 있을 경우에는 강화섬유와 기지재 사이의 계면에서는 잔류응력이 형성되며 이 때 발생한 잔류응력은 금속복합재료의 파손기구는 물론 기지재와 강화섬유 사이의 계면전단강도에도 중대한 영향을 미칠 수도 있다. 따라서 금속복합재료에 있어서 기지재와 강화재 사이의 계면전단강도에 대한 잔류응력의 영향을 평가하는 것은 금속복합재료의 실질적인 응용측면에서는 매우 중요한 과제라 할 수 있다. 복합재료에 있어서의 음향방출 기법과 SFC시험법을 동시에 이용하면 기지재와 강화재의 균열 및 기지재와 강화재 사이의 계면분리현상에 의한 미시적 파손기구를 명확하게 분리, 관찰할 수 있는 크나큰 이점이 있다. 따라서 된 연구에서는 음향방출기법과 SFC시험법을 이용하여 금속복합재료의 열처리 효과에 따른 미시적 파손기구 및 계면전판강도 변화특성을 체계적으로 연구, 고찰하였다.

In this study, the gravitating mechanical stir casting method was used to fabricating the Nb₂O₅/AZ31 magnesium matrix nanocomposites. Niobium pentoxide (Nb₂O₅) used as reinforcement with two different weight percentages (3 wt % and 6 wt %). The influence of Nb₂O₅ on microstructure and mechanical properties has been investigated. The microstructure analysis showed that the composites are mainly composed of the primary α-magnesium phase and phase β-Mg₁₇Al₁₂ secondary phase. The secondary phase was dispersed evenly along the grain boundary of the Mg phase. The Nb₂O₅/AZ31 nanocomposites revealed that the grain size and its lamellar shape (β-Mg₁₇Al₁₂) were gradually refined. Different strengthening mechanisms were assessed in terms of their contributions. Results showed that composite material properties of hardness, yield strength, and fracture study were directly related to Nb₂O₅ as a reinforcement. The maximum values of the mechanical properties were achieved with the addition of 3 wt% Nb₂O₅ on the AZ31 alloy.

The research on new DRA(discontinuous reinforced alloy) and CRA(continous reinforced alloy) composites has been carried out to improve the properties of ceramic fiber and particle reinforced metal matrix composites(MMCs). Effects of alloying elements and aging conditions on the microstructures and aging behavior of Al-Si-Cu-Mg-(Ni)-SiCp composite have been examined. The specimens used in this study were manufactured by duplex process. The first squeeze casting is the process to make precomposite and the second squeeze casting is the process to make final composite. The hardening behavior was accelerated with decreasing the size of SiCp particle in the composites. It is considered that the dislocation density increased with increasing SiCp size, due to the different thermal deformation between Al matrix and SiCp during quenching after the solution treatment. Peak aging time to obtain the maximum hardness in 3 ${\mu}m$ SiCp reinforced Al composite was reduced than that in large size(5, 10 ${\mu}m$) of SiCp because of difference in dislocation density. Aging hardening responce(${\Delta}H$ = $H_{Max}.-H_{S.T}$) of composites was greater than that of unreinforced Al alloy because of higher density of second phases in matrix.
