Particulate reinforced aluminum alloys produced by indirect squeeze casting are difficult to shape by cutting or milling. Therefore near net shape forming of complex shapes is of high economic and technical interest. The complex shape products of $SiC_p/6061$ Al composites are fabricated by the melt-stirring and indirect squeeze casting process. The mold temperatures are $200^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$ and applied pressures are 70, 100, and 130 MPa. The volume fractions of the reinforcements are in the range of 5 vol% to 15 vol%. The reinforcement dispersion state are observed using on optical microscope. By employing observed results systematically a correlation is demonstrated among the microstructure, particles behavior, mechanical properties and processing parameters for an optimum melt-stirring(compocasting) and indirect squeeze casting process of MMCs. A procedure to establish the optimum squeeze casting of Al-MMCs is proposed.

The metal forming processes of aluminum alloy wheel forging at elevated temperature are analyzed by the finite element method. A coupled thermo-mechanical model for analysis of plastic deformation and geat transfer is adapted in the finite element formulation. In order to consider the strain-rate effects on material properties and the flow stress dependence on temperatures, rigid-viscoplasticity is introduced in this formation. In this paper, several process conditions were applied to the dimulation such as die speed, rib thickness, and depth of die cavity. Simulation results are compared, and discussed with each case. Metal flow, die pressure distributions, temperature distributions, velocity fields and forging loads are summarized as basic data for process design and selection of a proper press equipment.

이 연구에서는 주단조 공정을 자동차 부품인 low control arm 제조에 적용하였다. Al6061에 주단조 공정을 적용함므로써 재료비 감소와 기존의 스틸제품보다 경량화 효과를 얻을 수 있다는 것을 증명하기 위함이다. 첫째로 단조 재료인 A16061의 최적 주조조건을 찾기 위하여, 주조 실험은 알루미늄의 주입온도, 금형온도, 주입시간을 조절함으로써 수행되어졌다. 최적주조조건은 주입온도 $700^{\circ}C$, 금형온도 30$0^{\circ}C$, 주입시간 10초로 정하여졌다. 각각의 미세조직을 관찰하고 응력-변형률곡선을 구하기 위하여 열가단조실험은 빌렛온도, 변형률속도와 감소율을 기초로 하여 수행되어졌다.(중략)

A finite element method (FEM) study was performed on micro-scale blanking of an AL6061-T6 foil with negative clearance. ABAQUS/explicit was used to prepare a simulation model of negative clearance blanking with tools having an edge radius comparable to the foil thickness. The Johnson-Cook plastic flow model was used in the simulations for the material flow. The FEM model was used to study the effects of various blanking parameters on the negative clearance blanking process and quality of the blank. In particular, the projecting edge on the bottom of the blank was observed. Research on negative blanking at the micro-scale is summarized and discussed.

Herein, we investigated surface morphological characteristics of anodic films on Al6061 alloy prepared by unipolar pulsed Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in a mixed solution of $Na_2SiO_3$ + KOH. The number and size of pores as well as craters on anodic alumina surface were studied as a function of different voltages, duty cycles and applied anodic current densities. The morphological characteristics of all samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, conforming that the most uniform surface morphology of MAO films on Al1050 alloy was obtained at high applied current density with low duty cycle.

분말야금법으로 제조된 $SiC_{p}$/6061 Al 복합재료의 열간 압출가공에 있어서 압출성에 미치는 빌렛의 특성과 압출조건의 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 압출가공성의 난이도를 판단 할 수 있는 기준이 되는 최대압출력과 변형저항 값($K_{w}$)은 350ton 압출기를 이용한 압출압력의 측정과 Watanabe등의 경험식에 의해 도출되었다. 6061Al합금기 복합재료 빌렛의 전단변형저항고 압출압력은 강화재($SiC_{p}$)의 부피분율이 증가함에 따라 증가하고 있으나, 증가되는 비율은$SiC_{p}$인 경두가 $SiC_{w},Al_{2}O_{3f}$/보다 작았다. 강화입자 크기가 작을 수록 변형저항 값이 증가하였고 압출성도 양호하였다. 변형저항 값의 증가는 기지금속의 가공경화에 기인하며, 최대압출력을 나타내는 피이크는 강화재의 입자가 미세할 수록, 즉 가공경호가 클 수록 뾰족한 형상을 나타내었다. 압출온도가 증가할 수록 변형저항 값이 낮아져서 작은 압출력으로도 복합재료의 압출이 가능하나, $500^{\circ}C$이상인 경우 압출재 표면에 극심한 tearing현상이 발생하였다.

When extruding Al6061 alloys, deformation energy is deposited inside the extruded alloy depending on the deformation and the temperature of extrusion. This creates a Peripheral Coarse Grain (PCG) on the surface, where relatively more deformation energy. of the extruded alloy has been accumulated. Furthermore, since the deformation of materials continues while the materials recrystallize, it is important to examine the effect of deformation energy on dynamic recrystallization in the process of extruding Al alloys along with their microstructure. Prior studies explain the theory behind PCG growth though quantitative analysis on PCG growth of Al alloys during extrusion processes has not yet been addressed. This study aims to measure the generated PCG thickness which determines the correlation between extrusion outlet temperature and its effect on mechanical properties. Surface structure observations were performed using Optical Microscope (OM) and mechanical properties were evaluated through tensile strength and hardness measurement. Throughout this study, we endevoured to find the optimum condition of extrusion exit temperature of Al6061 and confirmed improved d reliability. This study describes the effect of the complex process variables such as exit temperature on the thickness of PCG layer for the Al6061 alloy using the 200 tons extrusion press. We therefore, discovered that the PCG layer thickness was 117 ㎛ at temperatures between 460 ℃ to 520 ℃.

In this paper, rotating-bending fatigue tests of the SiC-whisker- reinforced 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and 6061-T6 alumiunm alloy made by power metallurgy were carried out to investigate the fatigue characteristics of plain and notched specimens at room temperature. The fatigue mechnisms in both materials were clarified through successive surface observations using the plastic replica method. In the case of the SiC-whisker-reinforced composites, there are whisker rich and poor zones and the fatigue crack is nucleated from the end of whiskers near the boundary. On the other hand, in the case of the 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, the fatigue crack is nucleated from defects and propagates by shear. Moreover, the results were discussed based on linear notch mechanics.
