This study deals with the characteristics of wire-cut EDM(Electrical Discharge Machining)process in aluminum alloys. Besides 2 series and 7 series of aluminum alloys for aerospace applications, porous aluminum is tested, which is used for sound absorbing matherial and interior and exterior material of building. Jinyoung JW-30 wire cutting machine was used in this experiment. Tap wate passed a filter and ionization was used as the discharging solution. An immerision method was applied as a cooling method because it separates chips effectively and machinability is good even with low value of electric current. The speed of fabrication was estimated by measuring the travel distance of the work piece and time spent for the movement. As pulse-on-time increased the fabrication speed decreased. On the other hand, as peak voltage of peak current increased the fabrication speed increased. In general 7075 aluminum alloy resulted in higher fabrication speed.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of impurity level and fabrication processes on the strength, fracture toughness and fatigue resistance of 7075, 7050 and 7175 high strength aluminum forgings. It has been verified that plane strain fracture toughness and fatigue characteristics of a specially processed 7175S-T74 alloy is superior to a conventionally processed 7075-T6/T73, 7050-T74 and 7175-T74 alloys. These beneficial effects primarily arise from two view points, i.e., the effect of reducing the impurity level of iron and silicon has significantly diminished the size and volume fraction of second phase particles such as $Al_7Cu_2Fe$ and $Mg_2Si$. Futher reduction of the amount of nonequilibrium second phase particles has been observed by applying a special fabrication process.

자동차용 경량소결부품으로 사용하기 위하여 2712 Al 합금 및 2712에 세라믹스를 각각 10, 20, 33% 첨가한 소결체의 기계적 특성에 대하여 조사하였다. 그 결과, (1)모든 소결체에서 4~7%의 기공이 잔류하는 것을 발견하였다. (2)시효처리한 2712 소결체 및 10, 20, 33% 세라믹스 함유 소결체의 인장강도 값은, 12분 소결에서는 각각 165, 260, 256, 166 N/$mm^2$, 30분 소결에서는 각각 186, 229, 219, 202 N/$mm^2$로 나타나, 세라믹스를 10% 첨가하여 12분 소결한 경우가 가장 우수한 인장강도 값을 나타내었다. 또한, 소결체의 최대 연신율값 3.6%는 세라믹스를 10% 첨가하여 30분 소결 후 시효처리한 소결체에서 나타났다. (3)시효처리 후의 소결체 표면의 최대 겉보기 경도값 ($H_RF$) 97은 세라믹스를 10% 첨가하고 30분 소결한 경우에 나타났다. (4)가장 낮은 내마모량 값 $174{\times}10^{-3}mm^3$은 10% 세라믹스를 첨가하여 시효처리한 소결체에서 나타났다. 이러한 결과들로부터 세라믹스를 10% 첨가한 2712 소결체가 Al 엔진부품 제조에 가장 적합한 것으로 판단되었다.
