In this study, the effects of two different casting methods (gravity casting and, diecasting) and various solid-solution conditions on the mechanical properties of ASC (Al-10.5wt%Si-1.75wt%Cu) and ALDC12 (Al-10.3wt%Si-1.72wt%Cu-0.76wt%Fe-0.28wt% Mn-0.32wt%Mg-0.9wt%Zn) alloys were investigated. A thermodynamic solidification analysis program (PANDAT) was used to predict the liquidus, solidus, and phases of the used alloys. In the results of an XRD analysis, ${\beta}$-AlFeSi peaks were observed only in the ALDC12 alloy regardless of the casting method or SST (solid-solution treatment) conditions. However, according to the results of a FE-SEM observation, both ${\theta}(Al_2Cu)$ and ${\beta}$-AlFeSi were found to exist besides ${\alpha}$-Al and eutectic Si in the gravity-casted ASC alloy at $500^{\circ}C$ after a SST of 120min. The ${\alpha}$-AlFeSi and ${\beta}$-AlFeSi phases including the eutectic phases were also found to exist in the ALDC12 alloy. The results of a microstructural observation and analyses by XRD, FE-SEM and EDS were in good agreement with the PANDAT results. The gravity-casted ALDC12 and ASC specimens showed the highest Y.S. and UTS values after aging for three hours at $180^{\circ}C$ after a SST at $500^{\circ}C$ for 30min. At longer solid-solution treatment times at $500^{\circ}C$ in the gravity-casted ALDC12 and ASC specimens, the elongations of the ASC alloys increased, whereas they decreased slightly in the ALDC12 alloys.

In this study, various alloying elements (Cr, Sr, Ca, Cd) were added to improve the mechanical properties of ADC12 fabricated by a die casting process. The effect of alloying elements on the microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. The phase analysis results of the modified ADC12 alloy with conventional ADC12 alloy, showed the similar characteristics of Al matrix, Si phase, $CuAl_2$ phase and the Fe intermetallic phase. As a result of the microstructure observation, the secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) was shown to have decreased after the addition of the alloying elements. The eutectic Si phase, which existed as flake form in the conventional ADC12 alloy, was modified finely as a fiber form in the modified ADC12 alloy. It was observed that the $CuAl_2$ phase as the strengthening phase was relatively finely distributed in the modified ADC12 alloy. The Fe intermetallic appeared as a Chinese script shaped $Al_6$ (Mn,Fe) which is detrimental to mechanical properties in conventional ADC12 alloy. On the other hand, in the modified ADC12 alloy, polyhedral ${\alpha}-Al_{15}Si_2$ $(Fe,Mn,Cr)_3$ was observed. The tensile properties were improved in the modified ADC12 alloy. The yield strength and tensile strength increased by 12.4% and 10.0%, respectively, in the modified ADC12 alloy, and the elongation was also seen to have been increased. As a result of the pin on disk wear test, the wear resistance properties were also improved by up to about 7% in the modified ADC12 alloy. It is noted that the wear deformation microstructures were also observed, and it was found that the fine eutectic Si and strengthening phases greatly improved abrasion resistance.

삼광광상은 선캠브리아기 경기육괴의 화강편마암내에 발달된 단열대(NE, NW)를 따라 충진한 8개의 괴상맥으로 구성된 중열수 석영맥광상이다. 이 광상의 광화작용은 여러번의 단열작용에 의해 형성된 두시기의 석영+방해석시기(광화I시기)와 방해석시기(광화II시기)로 구성된다. 광화I시기의 열수작용에 의한 변질작용은 견운모화, 녹니석화, 탄산염화, 황철석화, 규화, 및 점토화작용등이 관찰되며 견운모대는 석영맥과 접촉한 부분에서 녹니석대는 석영맥으로부터 멀어짐에 따라 관찰된다. 견운모대의 모암변질광물은 대부분이 견운모 및 석영이며 일부 일라이트, 탄산염광물, 녹니석으로 구성된다. 녹니석대의 모암변질광물은 주로 녹니석, 석영과 소량 견운모, 탄산염광물 및 녹염석으로 구성된다. 견운모의 Fe/(Fe+Mg) 값은 0.45${\sim}$0.50(0.48$\pm$0.02)이며 백운모-펜자이트족에 해당되고 녹니석의 Fe/(Fe+Mg) 값은 0.74${\sim}$0.81(0.77$\pm$0.03)이고 대부분 브런스비자이트에 해당된다. 견운모와 녹니석에 대한 $Al_{IV}$-FE/(FE+Mg)의 다이어그램은 변질시 같은 광종의 견운모와 녹니석의 형성온도를 나타내는 지시자로써 유용하다. 이것은 계산된 녹니석 단종의 활동도가 $a3(Fe_5Al_2Si_3O_{10}(OH)_6$=0.0275${\sim}$0.0413, $a2(Mg_5Al_2Si_3O_{10}(OH)_6$=1.18E-10${\sim}$7.79E-7, $a1(Mg_6Si_4O_{10}(OH)_6$=4.92E-10${\sim}$9.29E-7로서 삼광광상의 녹니석은 iron-rich 녹니석으로 비교적 고온 (T>450$^{\circ}C$에서 모암과 평형상태에서 온도가 감소함에 따라 형성되었음을 알 수 있다. 모암변질시 ${\alpha}Na^+$, ${\alpha}K^+$, ${\alpha}Ca^{2+}$ 및 ${\alpha}Mg^{2+}$는 각각 ${\alpha}Na^+$=0.0476($400^{\circ}C$), 0.0863($350^{\circ}C$), ${\alpha}K^+$=0.0154($400^{\circ}C$), 0.0231($350^{\circ}C$), ${\alpha}Ca^{2+}$=2.42E-11($400^{\circ}C$), 7.07E-10($350^{\circ}C$), ${\alpha}Mg^{2+}$=1.59E-12($400^{\circ}C$), 1.77E-11($350^{\circ}C$)이며 열수용액의 pH는 5.4${\sim}$6.4($400^{\circ}C$), 5.3${\sim}$5.7($350^{\circ}C$)로서 모암변질시 열수용액는 약산성이었음을 알 수 있다. 모암변질시 이득원소(부화원소)는 $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3(T)$,CaO, MnO, MgO, As, Ag, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, W, V, Br, Cs, Rb, Sc, Bi, Nb, Sb, Se, Sn 및 Lu 등이며 특히 대부분의 광상에서 Ag, As, Zn, Sc, Sb, S,$CO_2$ 등의 원소가 현저하게 증가하므로 중열수 및 천열수 금-은광상의 탐사에 지시원소로서 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

사용한 알루미늄 캔을 다시 캔으로 재활용 하는 단계는 폐캔의 수집, 폐쇄, 선별, 도료제거, 용해 및 2차지금을 제작하는 단계와 이 2차지금을 이용하여 열처리, 열간 및 냉간압연, 중간소둔처리 등을 거쳐 다시 캔을 성형하는 단계로 나눌수 있다. 본 연구에서는 2차지금에서 켄성형까지의 과정에서 중요한 요소인 미세조직 및 열간압연후의 집합조직에 미치는 합금원소의 영향을 조사하였다. 폐캔을 이용하여 다시 캔을 제조하기 위한 판재가공에서는 주조시 형성된 공석상들의 구형화와 $\alpha$상 ($Al_{12}(Fe, Mn)_3Si)$)으로의 상변화 제어가 필요한데, 열처리에 의한 석출거동을 조사하여 $615^{\circ}C$, 5시간 균질화 처리조건에서 최적의 미세조직을 얻을 수 있었다. 2차자금을 이용하여 캔소재를 제조한 결과, Mn량이 증가할수록 고용효과에 의해 전기전도도는 감소하고 집합조직의 발달이 억제되었다. Si 과 Fe는 금속간화합물 형태로 존재하며, 함량이 증가할수록 석출효과에 의해 전기전도도가 증가하고 변형집합조직의 발달이 촉진되었다. 캔은 냉간압연후 다른처리 없이 바로 제조되기 때문에 집합조직의 제어는 열간압연 및 소둔처리 단계에서 제어되어야 한다.

Clogging of sump strainers that filter the recirculation water in containment after a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) seriously impedes the continued cooling of nuclear reactor cores. In experiments examining the corrosion of aluminium alloy 6061, a common material in containment equipment, in borated solutions simulating the water chemistry of sump water after a LOCA, we found that Fe-bearing intermetallic particles, which were initially buried in the Al matrix, were progressively exposed as corrosion continued. Their cathodic nature $vis-{\grave{a}}-vis$ the Al matrix provoked continuous trenching around them until they were finally released into the test solution. Such particles released from Al alloy components in a reactor containment after a LOCA will be transported to the sump entrance with the recirculation flow and trapped by the debris bed that typically forms on the strainer surface, potentially aggravating strainer clogging. These Fe-bearing intermetallic particles, many of which had a rod or thin strip-like geometry, were identified to be mainly the cubic phase ${\alpha}_c-Al(Fe,Mn)Si$ with an average size of about $2.15{\mu}m$; 11.5 g of particles with a volume of about $3.2cm^3$ would be released with the dissolution of every 1 kg 6061 aluminium alloy.

High temperature high cycle and low cycle fatigue deformation behavior of automotive heat resistant aluminum alloys (A356 and A319 based) were investigated in this study. The microstructures of both alloys were composed of primary Al-Si dendrite and eutectic Si phase. However, the size and distribution for eutectic Si phase varied: a coarse and inhomogeneous distributed was observed in alloy B (A319 based). A brittle intermethallic phase of ${\alpha}-Fe\;Al_{12}(Fe,Mn)_3Si_2$ was detected only in B alloy. Alloy B exhibited high fatigue life only under a high stress amplitued condition in the high cycle fatigue results, whereas alloy A showed high fatigue life when stress was lowered. With regard to the low-cycle fatigue result ($250^{\circ}C$) showing higher fatigue life as ductility increased, alloy A demonstrated higher fatigue life under all of the strain amplitude conditions. Fractographic observations showed that large porosities and pores near the outside surface could be the main factor in the formation of fatigue cracks. In alloy B. micro-cracks were formed in both the brittle intermetallic and coarse Si phasese. These micro-cracks then coalesced together and provided a path for fatigue crack propagation. From the observation of the differences in microstructure and fractography of these two automotive alloys, the authors attempt to explain the high-temperature fatigue deformation behavior of heat resistant aluminum alloys.

The application of the coating supports the mechanical characteristics of the implant, and various materials and coatings are currently being used in the implant in a way to accelerate adhesion. Especially, plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coating has been proposed continually with good surface treatment of titanium alloys. Also, the PEO process can incorporate Ca and P ions on the titanium surface through variables varied factor. PEO process for bioactive surface has carried out in electrolytes containing Ca and P ions. Natural bone is composed of mineral elements such as Mg, Si, Zn, Sr, and Mn, etc. Especially, Mg and Si of these elements play role in bone formation and growth after clinical implantation of bio-implants. In this study, corrosion charateristics of PEO-treated Ti-6Al-4V alloy in solution containing Si and Mg ions has been investigated using several experimental techniques. The PEO-treated surfaces were identified by X-ray diffraction, using a diffractometer (XRD, Philips X' pert PRO, Netherlands) with Cu $K{\alpha}$ radiation. The morphology was observed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM, Hitachi 4800, Japan) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX, Oxford ISIS 310, England). The potentiodynamic polarization and AC impedance tests for electrochemical degradations were carried out in 0.9% NaCl solution at similar body temperature using a potentiostat with a scan rate of 1.67mV/s and potential range from -1500mV to + 2000mV.
