Sunroof tracks are manufactured by press-forming extruded aluminum sheets. During press forming, cracking occurs along the sharply bent edge. The final positions of the punch and die were measured on the section, and their relation to cracking was investigated. Finite element simulation of bending to the final position was done to find the critical strains. Three-point bending tests with different material orientations, hardnesses, bending edge lengths, and bending radii were carried out in the laboratory, and finite element simulation of the three-point bending tests was performed to find the critical strains.

최근 그린 친환경, 지구온난화방지와 환경 부하물질저감, 기기 고효율화, 연비향상 등의 관점에서 항공기, 자동차 등 운송기계와 휴대용 전자제품 등 경량화가 요구되는 분야에서 경량합금의 사용이 급증하고 있다. 특히, 경량합금 중 가장 가벼운 마그네슘 합금은 최근 주목을 받고 있는 금속재료이다. 그러나 마그네슘합금은 알루미늄합금과는 달리 상온 성형성 및 접합성이 양호하지 않은 관계로 판재를 이용한 구조부품의 제작을 위해서는 많은 연구가 필요하다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 마그네슘합금 판재의 마찰 교반 점용접을 시도하였다. CNC 밀링머신을 사용하여 프로브의 회전 및 삽입 속도에 변화를 주어 접합 특성을 평가하였고, 각 변수의 영향을 조사하였다. 적외선 열화상기와 로드셀을 사용하여 마찰 교반 점용접 중에 발생하는 교반부 온도와 접합부에 가해지는 수직부가하중의 거동을 측정하였다. 마찰 교반 점용접 후, 시험편의 접합 상태와 접합부 단면 관찰을 통해 접합 상태를 조사하였다. 그리고 인장전단 실험을 실시하여 마찰 교반 점용접된 시혐편의 접합강도를 평가하였고, 파단된 시험편의 파면을 관찰하였다.

With increasing demand of energy saving, -many efforts were made to employ aluminium alloys in the automobile industry. Especially, resistance spot welding has been widely used in the steel metal joining process because of its high productively and convenience. In this paper, spot weldability of 7075-T6 aluminium thin sheets for various welding conditions were examined by series of experiments. The tensile shear strength and microstructure of welded specimens was observed, and The optimal welding conditions were found for each welding conditions.

The objetive of this study is to compare the mechanical proprties of 6000 series Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy (AC120) with 5000 series Al-Mg aluminum alloy (TG25), and to investigate the influence of corrosion solution for fatigue life. Comparing of TG25 and AC120 alloy sheets, TG25 alloy sheets showing higher plastic ratio and total elongation have better formability than AC120 alloy sheets. The hardness of nugget area was a little higher than that of base metal area. Also, grain coarsening was observed in HAZ(Heat Affected Zone). In a corrosion fatigue experiment, the fatigue life decreased as concentration increased, when a dipping time was constant. The life decreased as dippling time increased, when a concentration was constant.

우주발사체용 로켓트 구조재로 사용되는 알루미늄합금 단조재는 강도확보를 위하여 고온으로 가열후 급냉과정에서 상당한 크기의 잔류응력이 발생되고 이로 인해 기계가공시 변형이 유발되어 조립성이 나빠진다. 잔류응력은 그 크기가 재료의 항복강도를 초과할 때 제거되므로 응력제거(stress relief)를 위해서는 외부하중이 가해져야 한다. 응력제거 처리는 소성변형, 열처리 및 초음파 등의 방법으로 수행되며 소성변형에 의한 제거효과가 가장 크다 형상이 복잡한 형 단조재의 경우 열간단조금형과 동일한 금형을 이용하는 TX52 등의 방법을 적용한다고 알려져 있으나 TX54에 대한 금형설계 및 소성변형률 적용 데이터는 공정 know-how로 분류되어 있다. 잔류응력제거 처리의 해석적 연구로는 판재와 링롤재에 대해서는 인장 및 압축 소성변형에 적용에 대한 결과가 발표된 바 있으나 형 단조재의 경우에는 전무하다

The applications of the aluminum alloy sheets to the auto-body panels are dramatically increasing for weight reduction of the automobiles. However, low formability of the aluminum alloy sheet compared to the steel sheet can be obstacles in tool manufacturing processes. Therefore, many of yield criteria for the anisotropic materials such as the aluminum alloy sheet have been observed. In this study, the biaxial tensile test and FLD test for the aluminum alloy sheet are performed. The results are compared with Hill's 1948 and Hill's 1990 models by means of theoretical predictions. Finite element analysis was also performed using the proposed method for the real panel.

Surface friction welding (SFW) is a newly developed technology fur joining thin metal sheets, which utilizes friction between tool and weldment. In the present study, the 5052 and 1050 Al sheets were locally surface-modified using SFW technology. Formability of the locally surface-modified sheets was superior to that of the parent material. Yield or tensile strengths of the locally surface-modified specimens were lower then those of the parent material, but elongations of the locally surface-modified specimens were higher then that of the parent material.

Sheet metal formability can be defined as the ability of metal to deform without necking or fracture into desired shape. Every sheet metal can be deformed without failure only up to a certain limit, which is normally known as forming limit curve(FLC). In this paper, the dome stretching tests and tensile tests have been performed to obtain forming limit curve of aluminum alloy. During the experiment, failure strain is measured using digital image correlation(DIC) method. DIC method is a whole-field measurement technique that acquires surface displacements and strains from images information which characterized a random speckle as intensity grey levels. Recently years, this DIC method is being developed and used increasingly in various research. DIC results demonstrated the usefulness and ability to determine a strain.
