A study on the micro particle blasting was conducted to find the optimum conditions of the blasted surface of aluminum 6061. The particle type such as $Al_2O_3$ and SiC, nozzle diameter, pressure, standoff distance and injection time were used as blasting conditions. Statistical method of orthogonal arrays(ANOVA) was used to find optimum conditions of maximum depth and maximum diameter of blasted surface. Particle type, nozzle diameter, and pressure were found to be the main factors of maximum blasted depth and diameter. Maximum blasted diameter was affected by increasing pressure and nozzle diameter but saturated maximum diameter. Maximum blasted depth was affected by pressure and nozzle diameter when aluminum 6061 was blasted with $Al_2O_3$ particle. The value of surface roughness was increased as pressure and nozzle diameter increased when aluminum 6061 was blasted with SiC.

Currently, the demand for eco-friendly energy sources is high, which has prompted research on polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. Both aluminum alloys and nickel alloys, which are commonly considered as materials of bipolar plates in fuel cells, oxide layers formed on the metal surface have excellent corrosion resistance. In this research, the electrochemical characteristics of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and Inconel 600 were investigated with chloride concentrations in an acid environment that simulated the cathode condition of the PEMFC. After potentiodynamic polarization experiments, Tafel analysis and surface analysis were performed. Inconel 600 presented remarkably good corrosion resistance under all test conditions. The corrosion current density of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy was significantly higher than that of Inconel 600 under all test conditions. Also, 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and Inconel 600 presented uniform corrosion and intergranular corrosion, respectively. The Ni, Cr, and Fe, which are the main chemical compositions of Inconel 600, are higher than Al in the electromotive force series. And a double oxide film of NiO-Cr₂O₃, which is more stable than Al₂O₃, is formed. Thus, the corrosion resistance of Inconel 600 is better.

B$_4$C 분말 표면을 알루미나 전구체로 표면 개질하여 알루미늄의 wetting 각을 낮추어 알루미늄의 함침을 용이하게 함으로써 상압에서 B$_4$C/Al 복합체를 제조하고자하였다. 알루미나 전구체에 의한 표면개질은 제타전위의 변화로 확인하였으며, 표면개질된 B$_4$C 분말의 preform에 Al 6061 디스크를 올려놓고 흐르는 알곤 분위기에서 103$0^{\circ}C$/20분 열처리로 Al이 완전히 함침된 B$_4$C/Al 복합체를 제조하였다. 반면 표면 개질되지 않은 B$_4$C 분말은 125$0^{\circ}C$/30분에도 함침이 일어나지 않았다. 이 복합체의 XRD와 SEM 분석은 B$_4$C. Al 외에도 반응상 $Al_3$BC 상이 생성되었으며, 물성을 크게 저하시키는 A1$_4$C$_3$는 생기지 않았음을 보여 주었다.

The solidification cracking susceptibilities of Al-Mg-Si alloy laser welds were assessed using the self-restraint tapered specimen crack test. The cracking susceptibility of 6061 and 6082 Al-Mg-Si alloy laser welds was substantially reduced when the filler wire containing high Si such as Al-12 wt.% Si (4047A) was used. The amount of eutectic was observed to affect the solidification cracking of Al-Mg-Si alloy laser welds. Abundant eutectic seems to heal the cracking and reduces the cracking susceptibility, while an initial increase in eutectic liquid leads to the increased cracking tendency.

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.

Friction Spot Joining(FSJ) has a strong potential for aluminum alloy joining in automobile industries. The present paper focuses on the attempt to optimize the FSJ process for lap joining of A5052-H32 and A6061-T6 aluminum alloys. For A5052 maximum tensile shear strength has been observed for a tool rotating speed of 800rpm and for A6061 at 1000 rpm. Study on fracture modes of the tensile tested specimens of both A5052-H32 and A6061-T6 revealed, for high tensile strength values, plug fracture mode and lower tensile values, shear fracture mode. Above 2000 rpm distortion of the base metal, beside the tool shoulder was larger and plug fracture mode has been observed.

In this paper, flow stress of Al6061 is obtained by compression test in the range of temperature from $300^{\circ}C$ to $550^{\circ}C$ and effective strain-rate from 0.1/s to 20.0/s. The flow stress information is used to simulate an aluminum hot forging process. Non-isothermal simulation is carried out by a rigid-thermoviscoplastic finite element method. The predictions are compared with the experiments in terms of the deformed shape of material.

플라즈마 전해산화(Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation)는 수용액 중에서 Al, Mg, Ti 등의 금속표면에 산화막을 형성시키는 기술로서, 기존의 양극산화법과 유사한 장치에서 고전압을 가해 미세플라즈마 방전을 유도하여 치밀한 산화막을 형성하는 표면처리 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 6061 알루미늄 합금의 대면적 시편을 이용하여 PEO공정으로 산화막을 형성시켰다. 산화막의 조성 및 미세구조는 XRD와 SEM, EDS를 이용하여 분석하였다. 형성된 산화막은 회색에서 밝은 회색으로 시편 전면에 고르게 나타났다. 피막 성장인자를 정교하게 조절함으로써 강한 피막 접착력과 낮은 표면조도를 가지는 매끈한 표면을 얻을 수 있었고, 그에 따른 물성 변화를 분석하였다. 또한 시편의 크기에 관계없이 동일한 조건에서 동일한 물성이 나오는 것으로 분석되었다. 이를 통해 균질한 대면적 피막의 높은 신뢰성을 요구하는 다양한 산업분야에 적합한 표면처리 방법으로서 PEO공정이 활용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

With the PEO(Plasma electrolytic oxidation) surface treatment, the oxide film of aluminum alloy is growing in a short time. The reflectance measurement to find the oxygen atoms in the oxide could be investigated. In order to form a thicker oxide film, the PEO surface treatment should be uniformly controlled in processing time.
