This study carried out a cutting experiment on Duralumin A16061-76, which is light but strong and highly anticorrosive, so recently popular as a lightweight material, by changing cutting conditions and alternating 4 insert tips, and examined the effect of each insert tip on cutting force at certain cutting conditions, the measurements of the coarseness of processed surfaces roughness, and the chip workability. The 1311owing conclusions were drawn from the results. Cutting force for cutting tool is when insert tips were alternated at each cutting condition, the cutting force of cutting tools was highest then CBN tools were use(1 next by Ceramic tools, Cermet tools, and WC tools. Therefore, WC tools are considered most suitable for cutting Duralumin A16061-T6. Surface roughness as for the coarseness of surfaces according to insert tips applied to Duralumin A16061-T6 under the cutting condition of depth of cut below 1mm, feed rate below 0.24mm/rev and cutting speed over 100m/min the coarseness of material surface roghness appeared to be finest when WC tools were used, next by Ceramic tools, Cermet tools, and CBN tools.

In this study, statistical analysis of fatigue data which had obtained from respective 24 fatigue crack, was examined for SiC whisker reinforced aluminium 6061 composite alloy (SiC$_{w}$/A16061) and aluminium 6061 alloy. SiC volume fraction in composite alloy is 25%. The analysis results stress intensity factor range and 0.1 mm fatigue crack initiation life for SiC$_{w}$/A16061 composite & A16061 matrix are the log-normal distribution. And regression analysis by linear model, exponential model and multiplicative model were performed to find out the relationship between fatigue crack growth rate(da/dN) and stress intensity for find out the relationship between fatigue crack growth rate(da/dN) and stress intensity factor range(.DELTA.K) in the SiC$_{w}$/A16061 composite and examine the applicability of Paris' equation to SiC$_{w}$A16061 composite. Also computer simulation was performed for fatigue life prediction of SiC$_{w}$/A16061 composite using the statistical results of this study.udy.

Because of high specific stiffness, the aluminum alloy has been used for various industry field. Specially, the heat-treated aluminum alloy is difficult-to-machine material and machining test is necessary to evaluate and improve the machinability. In order to manufacture the functional part, appropriate cutting condition is selected by considering surface quality, machining time, and workpiece deflection by cutting force. In this investigation, the machinability of A16061-T6 is estimated by changing cutting conditions. The variable cutting conditions are cutting speed, depth of cutting, and feed rate. The estimation is done by analysis of cutting force, surface roughness, and surface shape according to the change of cutting conditions.

TiNi alloy fiber was used to recover the original shape of materials using its shape memory effect. The shape memory alloy plays an important role within the metal matrix composite. The shape memory alloy can control the crack propagation in metal matrix composite, and improve the tensile strength of the composite. In this study, TiNi/A16061 shape memory alloy(SMA) composite was fabricated by hot press method, and pressed by a roller for its strength improvement. The four kinds of specimens were fabricated with $0\%,\;3.2\%,\;5.2\%\;and\;7\%$ and volume fraction of TiNi alloy fiber, respectively. A fatigue test has performed to evaluate the crack initiation and propagation for the TiNi/A16061 SMA composite fabricated by かis method. In order to study the shape memory effect of the TiNi alloy fiber, the test has also done under both conditions of the room temperature and high temperature. The relationship between the crack growth rate and the stress intensity factor was clarified for the composite, and the cold rolling effect was also studied.

Tensile residual stress happen by difference of coefficients of thermal expansion between fiber and matrix is one of the serious problems in metal matrix composite(MMC). In this study, TiNi fiber was used to solve the tensile residual stress as the reinforced material. TiNi fiber improves the tensile strength of composite by occurring compressive residual stress in matrix using shape memory effect of it. Pre-strain was added to generate compressive residual stress inside TiNi/A16061 composite. It was also evaluated the effect of compressive residual stress corresponding to pre-strains variation. AE technique was used to clarify the microscopic damage behavior at high temperature and the effect of pre-strain difference of TiNi/A16061 shape memory alloy composite.

Particles reinforced MMCs have many advantages over monolithic metals including a higher specific modulus, higher specific strength, better properties at elevated temperatures and better wear resistance. SiC$_p$/A16061 composites have good results in its mechanical properties. This work investigates SiC$_p$/A16061 composites in the microscopic view and compares the analytical results with the experimental ones. The discrepancy of the material properties between the reinforced particle, SiC$_p$, and the matrix material, A16061 appears to be so significant. Especially the coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) of A16061 is 5 times larger than that of SiC$_p$. Thermal residual stress in MMCs is induced at high temperatures. The shape of particle is various but the theoretical model is not able to consider the nonuniform shape. Particle distribution is not homogeneous in experimental specimen. However, it is assumed to be homogeneous in simulation model. The shapes of particles are assumed to be not only perfect global but hexahedral shapes. The types of particle distribution are two - simple cubic array(SC array) and face-centered cubic array(FCC array).
