In this study, the morphology of the change of primary Al phase in A356 alloy by two kinds of electromagnetic stirrers(vertical and horizontal) were investigated to obtain the globular structure. The effects of the stirring current, the stirring time and the pouring temperature were determined. The greater stirring current and longer stirring time were to get the finer the Al phase. However, over a certain stirring current and stirring time, the primary Al was merged together and was increased. The reason is the degree of breakdown of initial dendrites has been decreased by the collision and coalescence of particles with increasing stirring current and stirring time. The optimum conditions and difference of the two kinds of electromagnetic stirrers have been investigated for rheology forming with controlled solid fraction.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of rheocast A356 aluminum alloy by electromagnetic stirring are studied. In the electromagnetic stirring, main parameters are stirring current and stirring time. Stirring current is ranged from 0 A to 60 A, and stirring time is 20, 40, and 60 sec. In the rheocasting, injection velocity and applied pressure are changed. In this paper, the effect of stirring current and stirring time on the morphology and mechanical properties are investigated and analyzed.

Microstructures according to experimental conditions (pouring temperature, stirring current and stirring time) and hardness according to aging time were investigated for A356 cast aluminum alloy and 7075 wrought aluminum alloy. In pouring temperature control, grains became larger and non-uniform at high temperature, however dendritic shapes were shown at lower temperature. In stirring current control, dendritic grains were not destroyed enough at lower current, however fine grains were agglomerated at higher current. And, in stirring time control, grains were more globular but grew larger and larger with the stirring time increasing.

It is many devices to obtain the globular structure because the globularity of the structure is the key to the low apparent viscosity and also to good rheological properties. In this study, the morphology of the change of primary Al phase in A356 alloy by electro magnetic stirrer was investigated to obtain the globular structure. The parameters are the current, stirring time, pouring temperature individually. The greater current and longer stirring time was to get the finer the primary however in case of over the 80A of current and 60sec of stirring time, the primary Al was merged together and was increased. The effect of pouring temperature has an important effect on the size of primary phase. About the $675^{\circ}C$, the primary Al was very fined.

A semi-solid forming processing has been developed for manufacturing near net-shape components. The semi-solid forming has two methods. One is thixo-forming with reheating prepared billet, the other is rheo- forming with cooled melt until semi-solid state. In indirect forging processing, this experiment used aluminum rheology materials by electromagnetic stirring system. Rheology material is made by A16061. An experiment has variation factors which are pressure, solid-fraction, stirring current and stirring time. Forged samples are found microstructures and mechanical properties. Forged samples are accomplished heat treatment T6 for high mechanical properties.

Recently in the automotive industries, light and high quality material is strongly required because of emissions regulation issues. In the electromagnetic stirring process, it has many merits that are the exact control ability about material processing and a good point of the protection of environment. In this paper, the morphology of the change of primary Al phase in A356 alloy by electro magnetic stirrer was investigated to obtain the globular structure. The parameters are the current, stirring time, pouring temperature and cooling rate of different wall thickness; 5mm, 15mm, 25mm respectively. By proper selection of the processing parameters, globular primary particles can be obtained by electromagnetic stirrer.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of a scouring machine including an ultrasonic system on desizing and scouring polyester fabrics. The ultrasonic frequency of the improved machine showed up at 28.882 kHz. Frequency amplitude increased with the current and the bath temperature, and then showed a constant level. Scouring effect of the ultrasonic machine was better than that of the conventional scouring machine using the mechanical stirring. The ultrasonic machine showed the optimum scouring effect at $50^\circ{C}$ of bath temperature and 10 min. of operation time, as compared to the conventional machine that required operating conditions of high temperature at $90^\circ{C}$, stirring speed at 40 rpm, and stirring time for 15 min..

Coastal boundary current flows along the eastern boundary of the Yellow Sea and its speed was about 0.l m/s during the summer 2007. In order to find major factors that affect the coastal boundary current in the eastern Yellow Sea, three-dimensional numerical model experiments were performed. The model simulation results were validated against hydrographic and current meter data in the eastern Yellow Sea. The eastern boundary current flows along the bottom front over the upper part of slopping bottom. Strength and position of the current were affected by tides, winds, local river discharge, and solar radiation. Tidal stirring and surface wind mixing were major factors that control the summertime boundary currents along the bottom front. Tidal stirring was essential to generate the bottom temperature front and boundary current. Wind mixing made the boundary current wider and augmented its north-ward transport. Buoyancy forcing from the freshwater input and solar radiation also affected the boundary current but their contributions were minor. Strong (weak) tidal mixing during spring (neap) tides made the northward transport larger (smaller) in the numerical simulations. But offshore position of the eastern boundary current's major axis was not apparently changed by the spring-neap cycle in the mid-eastern Yellow Sea due to strong summer stratification. The mean position of coastal boundary current varied due to variations in the level of wind mixing.

In this study, growth and burning behavior of 6061 aluminum alloy was studied under constant anodic voltages at various temperatures and magnetic stirring rates in 20% sulfuric acid solution by analysing I-t curves, measuring thickness and hardness of aluminum anodic oxide (AAO) films, observations of surface and cross-sectional images of AAO films. AAO films were grown continuously at lower voltages than 18.5V but burning occurred when a voltage more than 19V was applied in 20% H₂SO₄ solution at 20±0.5℃ and 200 rpm of magnetic stirring. The burning was always related with an extremely large increase of anodic current density with anodizing time, suggesting that high heat generation during anodizing causes deteriorations of AAO films by chemical reaction with acidic solutions. The burning resulted in decreases of film thickness and hardness, surface color brightened and formation of porous defects in the AAO films. The burning voltage was found to decrease with increasing solution temperature and decreasing magnetic stirring rate. The decreased burning voltages seem to be closely related with increased chemical reactions between AAO films and hydrogen ions.
