Among the many techniques available to synthesis metal matrix composites, liquid phase processing, especially, conventional casting process such as stir-casting process is particularly attractive for their simplicity, economy and flexibility, In the present study, A356/20%SiCp composites were fabricated by gas-particle co-injection method. The gas-particle co-injection method is a modified stir-casting method and the corporation of particle could be improved by acceleration of particles due to rotation of impeller and gas purging. The microstructures and mechanical properties such as tensile properties and resistance to wear of fabricated materials were examined. Further, the particle injection mechanism in gas-particle co-injection method was discussed.

본 연구에서는 교반주조 공정을 통해 B₄C 입자가 균일하게 분산된 알루미늄 금속복합재료를 제조하고 후 공정으로 열간압연을 수행하였다. 제조된 복합재료의 미세조직, 기계적 특성 및 내마모 특성에 대해 분석하였다. 40 ㎛ 크기의 B₄C 입자가 균일하게 분산된 복합재료는 강화재의 체적율이 증가함에 따라 인장강도는 증가하였으며, 마모 성능도 개선되었다. 20 vol.% 복합재료의 경우 인장강도 값은 292 MPa로 기지재인 Al6061 대비 155% 증가하였다. 내마모시험 결과 20 vol.% 복합재료의 경우 마모 너비와 깊이가 각각 856 ㎛, 36 ㎛이며, 마찰계수는 0.382로 Al6061 대비 상당히 우수한 내마모 특성을 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 Al-Ti-C 반응계의 점화온도에 대해 고찰하고, 자전연소합성법 및 교반주조 공정을 통해 TiC/Mg 금속복합재료를 제조하여 미세조직 및 기계적 특성을 분석하였다. 0, 10, 20, 30 vol.% TiC 입자가 균일하게 분산된 Mg 복합재료를 제조하였고, 강화재의 양이 증가할수록 기지 대비 우수한 압축강도 및 내마모특성을 보였다. 이는 in-situ 자전연소합성법에 의해 결함이나 불순물 등의 오염이 적은 TiC/Mg 금속복합재료 제조로 기지에서 강화재로의 효과적인 하중 전달에 의한 것으로 판단된다.

Friction stir weldability of AZ31B-H24, AZ61A-F and AZ91C-F Mg alloys were studied using microstructural observation and mechanical tests. The microstructure of stir zone(SZ) was coarse in AZ31B-H24 alloy whereas it was very fine both in AZ61A-F and AZ91C-F alloys. The hardness of SZ was remarkably increased by very fine recrystallized grains both in AZ61A-F and AZ91C-F alloys. On the other hand, the hardness of SZ was decreased in AZ31B-H24 due to the coarse microstructure. In SZ, AZ91C-F alloy showed very high hardness values because of dispersion hardening of $Mg_{17}$Al$_{12}$($\beta$ phase) and Al solid solution hardening. Because of more $Mg_{ 17}Al_{12}($\beta$ phase)$ intermetallic compounds, Mg alloy with high Al content showed poor mechanical properties.s.

In this study, AA1060/Alumina composites were fabricated by combined stir casting and accumulative press bonding (APB). The APB process was repeated up to six press bonding steps at 300Ċ. As the novelty, potential dynamic polarization in 3.5Wt% NaCl solution was used to study the corrosion properties of these composites. The corrosion behavior of these samples was compared and studied with that of the annealed aluminum alloy 1060 and versus the number of APB steps. So, as a result of enhancing influence on the number of APB process, this experimental investigation showed a significant enhancement in the main electrochemical parameters and the inert character of the Alumina particles. Together with Reducing the active zones of the material surfaces could delay the corrosion process. Also, at higher number of steps, the corrosion resistance of composites improved. The sample produced after six number of steps had a low corrosion density in comparison with high corrosion density of annealed specimens. Also, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), was used to study the corrosion surface of samples.

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.

본 연구에서는 기존 사용후핵연료(Spent nuclear fuel) 운반/저장 용기에 사용되는 중성자 흡수용 B₄C/Al 복합소재의 열전도도를 개선하기 위해 탄화붕소(B₄C)와 입방정 질화붕소(cBN)를 동시에 강화재로 사용한 알루미늄(Al) 기지 복합소재를 제조하고 평가를 진행하였다. 이를 위해서 교반주조 공정을 통해 복합재 잉곳을 제조하고 이를 압연하여 중성자 흡수용 소재를 성공적으로 제조하였다. 제조된 소재의 평가를 위해 cBN 첨가에 따른 열전도도와 중성자 흡수능 변화를 관찰하였다. 열전도도 측정 결과, B₄C 단일 입자만을 사용한 복합소재 대비 B₄C, cBN을 함께 사용한 복합소재가 동일 체적률 조건 하에서 약 3%의 열전도도 증가가 발생하는 것을 확인하였으며 중성자 흡수 단면적 계산을 통해 중성자 흡수능이 무시할 수 있는 수준으로 저하가 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로, 중성자 흡수 소재의 새로운 설계 방안을 제시하고 고성능 운반/저장 용기의 개발에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The magnitude of wear should be at a minimum for numerous automobile and aeronautical components. In the current work, composites were prepared by varying the cenosphere content using the conventional stir casting method. A uniform distribution of particles was ensured with the help of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Three major parameters were chosen from various factors that affect the wear. A wear test was conducted with a pin-on-disc apparatus; the controlling parameters were volume percentages of reinforcement of 5, 10, 15, and 20%, applied loads of 9.8, 29.42, and 49.03 N, and sliding speeds of 1.26, 2.51, and 3.77 m/s. The design of the experiments (DOE) was performed by varying the different influencing parameters using the full factorial method. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the effects of the parameters on the wear rate. Using regression analysis, a response curve was obtained based on the experimental results. The parameters in the resulting curve were optimized using the Genetic Algorithm (GA). The GA results were compared with those of an alternate efficient algorithm called Neural Networks (NNs).

$Al_2O_3$/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.
