The deformation mechanism of hexagonal close-packed materials is quite complicate including slips and twins. A deformation mechanism, which accounts for both slip and twinning, was investigated for polycrystalline hop materials. The model was developed in a finite element polycrystal model formulated with initial strain method where the stiffness matrix in FEM is based on the elastic modulus. We predicted numerically the texture of Mg alloy(AZ31B) sheet by using FEM based on crystal plasticity theory. Also, we introduced the recrystallized texture employed the maximum energy release theory after rolling. From the numerical study, it was clarified that the shrink twin could not be the main mechanism for shortening of c-axis, because the lattice rotation due to twin rejects fur c-axis to become parallel to ND(normal direction of plate). It was showed that the deformation texture with the pyramidal slip gives the ring type pole figure having hole in the center.

This paper discusses the optimization of friction stir spot welding (FSSW) process parameters for joining Aluminum alloy (AA6061-T6) with Magnesium alloy (AZ31B) sheets. Prior to optimization an empirical relationship was developed to predict the Tensile Shear Fracture Load (TSFL) incorporating the four most important FSSW parameters, i.e., tool rotational speed, plunge rate, dwell time and tool diameter ratio, using response surface methodology (RSM). The experiments were conducted based on four factor, five levels central composite rotatable design (CCD) matrix. The maximum TSFL obtained was 3.61kN, with the tool rotation of 1000 rpm, plunge rate of 16 mm/min, dwell time of 5 sec and tool diameter ratio of 2.5.

Degradable implants have been in use for bone surgery for decades. However, degradable metal implants are one of the new research areas of biomaterials science. Magnesium has good biocompatibility due to its low toxicity, and it is a corroding, i.e. dissolvable, metal. Furthermore, magnesium is needed in human body, and naturally found in bone tissue. There have been some published reports also asserting the potential bone cell activation or bone healing effect of high magnesium ion concentrations. The classic method for achieving intertransverse process fusion involves autogenous iliac crest bone graft. Several investigations have been performed to enhance this type of autograft fusion. However, there is no research which has been undertaken to investigate the efficiency of pure magnesium particles in posterolateral spinal fusion. In this study, corrosion behavior of magnesium metal at the bone interface, the possibility of new bone cell formation and the degree of effectiveness in producing intertransverse process lumbar fusion in a sheep model have been investigated. Cortical bone screws were machined from magnesium alloy AZ31 extruded rod and implanted to hip-bones of sheep via surgery. Three months after surgery, the bone segments carrying these screws were removed from the sacrificed animals. Samples were sectioned to reveal Mg/bone interfaces and investigated using optical microscope, SEM-EDS and radiography. Optical and SEM images showed that there was a significant amount of corrosion on the magnesium screw. The elemental mapping results indicate, due to the presence of calcium and phosphorus elements, that there exists new bone formation at the interface. Furthermore, sixteen sheep were subjected to intertransverse process spinal fusions with pedicle screw fixation at various locations along their spines. Each animal was treated with 5cc autograft bone at one fusion level and 1cc magnesium+5cc autograft bone at the other. Six months after surgery, bone formation was evaluated by gross inspection and palpation, and radiological, histological, scanning electron microscopic and x-ray diffraction analyses. It may be stated that the potential for using useful corrosion of magnesium alloys in medical applications is expected to be significant.

The changes in microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ31 alloy subjected hot-rolling process were investigated. The AZ31 plates fabricated by horizontal continuous casting process were prepared and have hot-rolled from 30 mm to 1 mm in thickness under different processing conditions. At the rolling temperature of $400^{\circ}C$, little surface and side crack was observed up to 20% reduction rate. As total reduction and reduction rate increase to more than 75% and 20% pass, respectively, Grains were more uniformly refined through overall thickness, and particularly lots of shear bands were appeared to be inclined at less than $20^{\circ}C$ along the rolling direction. Average grain size of less than $5{\mu}m$ and tensile properties of YS ${\geq}$ 250 MPa, UTS ${\geq}$ 300 MPa and El. ${\geq}$ 13% were acquired for hot-rolled AZ31 sheets without post-heat treatment. Maximum intensity of (0002) pole figure was decreased with an increase in reduction rate, indicating the improvement of texture by means of high reduction rate.

Various grain refining alloying elements such as Sr, TiB, and Ca were added to AZ91D and their effects on the mechanical properties and mold filling ability were investigated. The average grain sizes of those alloys were significantly reduced by the small amounts of the alloying elements. Ca addition was the most remarkably effective in reducing the grain size, however it was found to deteriorate the mold filling ability and tensile properties. TiB addition was observed to be the most efficient for both grain refinement and mold filling.

목적: 이 연구 목적은 가공한 마그네슘 합금 AZ31 안경테를 plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO) 표면 처리 후 표면특성에 대하여 조사하는 것이다. 방법: Plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO) 표면 처리는 DC 전압을 변화시키며 처리하였고, 피막의 상 분석은 X-ray 회절기로 측정하였고, 형태학적 미세구조는 주사전자현미경로 관찰하였다. 그리고 피막층에 존재하는 원소의 농도를 에너지 분산 X-선 스펙트럼으로 조사하였다. 결과: PEO 처리시 전압이 증가함에 따라 XRD 측정 결과 MgO 피크가 증가하였으며, SEM 사진에서는 표면의 산화피막이 조밀하게 생기는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그리고 EDS에서 성분의 변화도 일치함을 보여주었다. 결론: PEO 산화피막층은 전압이 증가 할수록 MgO 화합물의 형성이 점점 증가하기 때문에 산화막의 결정화가 진행되며, 65V에 60초 처리 시 표면상태, 접촉각, 내식성 시험에서 가장 좋은 결과를 보여 주었다.

본 연구에서는 AZ31B 마그네슘 합금 평판 연마에 제 2세대 자기연마공정을 적용하고 실험계획법을 통해 공정인자들의 특성을 평가하였으며, 2차 반응표면모델을 이용한 표면거칠기 예측모델을 개발하였다. 비자성체 재료의 기존 자기연마 공정에서는 재료의 표면에서 자기력이 낮아 표면거칠기의 향상에 효율이 낮은 단점을 가진다. 이를 보완하기 위하여 전자석 배열을 이용한 자기력 테이블을 자기연마 공정에 적용하여 비자성체 표면의 자기력을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 이러한 시스템을 제 2세대 자기연마라 일컫고, 실험계획법에 따른 공정 인자 평가 결과, 자기력 테이블의 전자석 세기가 AZ31B 평판의 표면 거칠기 향상에 가장 큰 영향을 가지고 있음을 확인했다. 또한 자기력 테이블과 공구의 회전속도에 따른 반응표면모델을 개발함으로써 마그네슘 자기연마 공정의 효율성을 높일 수 있었다.

Representative magnesium alloys applied to the die-casting are AZ91, AM60, etc., and the application of these alloys is restricted to components operating at moderate temperatures, due to grain boundary siding of ${\beta}$-phase($Mg_{17}Al_{12}$) at temperatures above $120^{\circ}C$. Heat-resistant magnesium alloys such as AE42, AE44 have been developed, but that have been too burdensome to produce because of the expensive rare earth materials. Research work for the development of low-priced heat-resistant magnesium alloy is actively in progress and positive results are being reported. This study aims to investigate the effect of Ca additions on mechanical properties of Mg-4Al-2Sn heat resistant magnesium alloys. Mg-4Al-2Sn alloys with Ca (0wt.%, 0.3wt.%, 0.7wt.%, 1wt.%) have been produced through the die-casting process for the development of low-priced heat-resistant magnesium alloy, and high temperature tensile tests are performed using the specimens. The results showed that mechanical properties of Mg-4Al-2Sn-xCa increased with the addition of Ca up to 0.7wt.% Ca and further addition of Ca deteriorated the mechanical properties of the alloys. A significant amount of porosity was observed at the sample with 1wt%. Ca and the longer freezing range of the alloy was believed to cause the formation of porosity.

마그네슘 합금은 결정구조가 HCP구조로 슬립면이 제한되어있어 상온에서의 가공이 용이하지 않다. 따라서 최근 마그네슘 합금의 미세 조직을 제어하기 위해 많은 연구가 수행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 구조용 재료 및 기능성 재료로 기대되는 마그네슘 합금(AZ3l)을 이용하여 주조로부터 압출·압연 과정으로의 연속적인 판재 성형공정을 실행하였다. 모든 공정에 대한 전형적인 기계적 특성을 평가하기 위하여 각 공정에서 재료의 인장실험을 실시하였으며 각 공정 후에 향상된 기계적 특성들을 규명하기 위하여 경도시험을 실시하였다 또한 각 공정에서의 대표적인 미세 조직을 관찰하여 결정립 미세화에 따른 기계적 물성의 향상을 확인하였다. 주조재, 압출판재, 압연판재의 인장강도는 189.3㎫, 257.9㎫ 그리고 234.㎫로 증가하였다가 다소 감소하지만, 연신율은 상대적으로 16.26%, 24.99% 그리고 27.16%의 50%에 가까운 주목할만한 증가를 나타낸다. 인장실험의 실험결과로부터 얻어진 가공경화지수로부터 대상 재료인 마그네슘 합금(AZ3l)에 대하여 DRX의 거동을 예측할 수 있었으며, 압출후 압연 판재의 경우 연한 재결정 조직으로 인하여 연신율의 대폭적인 증가를 확인 할 수 있었다.
