본 연구에서는 Al-7Si-(0.3~0.5)Mg-(0~0.5)Cu 합금의 용체화 처리 조건 최적화를 위해 545℃ 온도 조건에서 최대 7시간까지 용체화 처리를 수행한 후 광학현미경 및 FE-SEM을 활용한 미세조직 관찰 및 브리넬 경도 측정을 수행하였다. 합금 내 공정 Si 상은 용체화 처리 초반 3시간 동안 급격한 조대화 현상을 나타내었으며, 이후에는 용체화 처리가 진행되어도 Si 상 크기는 크게 변화하지 않았다. 한편 공정 Si 상의 구상화의 경우, 용체화 처리 시간이 7시간에 도달할 때 까지 지속적으로 진행되었다. Cu가 첨가된 합금의 주방상태에서는 Q-Al₅Cu₂Mg₈Si₆ 상과 θ-Al₂Cu 상이 확인되었으나, 545℃에서 3시간 동안 진행된 용체화 처리 이후에는 모두 분해되었다. 주방상태에서 확인된 π-Al₈FeMg₃Si 상은 5시간의 용체화 처리 이후에 사라지거나(0.3wt%Mg) 혹은 7시간의 용체화 처리 이후에도 존재(0.5wt%Mg)하였다. 초정 α상 내 Mg 및 Cu 함량은 용체화 처리 시간이 5시간에 도달할 때 까지 증가하였으며, 이는 Mg 및 Cu를 함유한 금속간 화합물의 용체화 시간에 따른 분해 거동과 일치하였다. Al-7Si-Mg-Cu 합금의 용체화 처리 과정에서 확인한 미세조직 변화를 종합적으로 고려할 때, 본 연구에서 다룬 합금의 석출강화 효과 극대화를 위해서는 545℃ 조건에서 최소 5시간의 용체화 처리가 필요한 것으로 판단되며, 용체화 처리 조건 별로 측정된 브리넬 경도 데이터로부터 동일한 최적 용체화 처리 조건을 도출할 수 있었다.

This paper is presented for showing the effect of cooling rate on dendrite arm spacing, correlated with the chilling power of molding materials (conventional plaster, foamed plaster, silica sand) and section thickness, and also showing relationship between dendrite arm spacing and mechanical properties for an aluminum - 8.6 percent silicon - 3.6 percent copper alloy. Local solidification time $(t_f)$ and secondary dendrite arm spacing (d) could be varied widely in accordance with the molding materials and casting thickness, and the following relationship is obtained: $d=9.4t_f\;^{0.31}$ A good correlation between dendrite arm spacing and mechanical properties such as ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, hardness was found, that is, mechanical properties decreased in a linear manner with increase in log of secondary dendrite arm spacing. Ultimate tensile strength in conventional plaster mold casting decreased by 15 percent comparing with the sand casting, where as in foamed plaster mold casting, it decreased by 30 percent comparing with the sand casting. From those results, it has been verified that DAS might be the most representative parameter for predicting mechanical properties varing with the different cooling condition.

Passive fitting of meso-structure and super-structures is a predominant requirement for the longevity and clinical success of osseointegrated dental implants. However, precision and passive fitting has been unpredictable with conventional methods of casting as well as for corrective techniques. Alternative to conventional techniques, electro discharge machining(EDM) is an advanced method introduced to dental technology to improve the passive fitting of implant prosthesis. In this technique material is removed by melting and vaporization in electric sparks. Regarding the efficacy of EDM, the application of this technique induces severe surface morphological and elemental alterations due to the high temperatures developed during machining, which vary between $10,000{\sim}20,000^{\circ}C$. The aim of this study was to investigate the morphological and elemental alterations induced by EDM process of casting dental gold alloy and non-precious alloy used for the production of implant-supported prosthesis. A conventional clinical dental casting alloys were used for experimental specimens patterns, which were divided in three groups, high fineness gold alloy(Au 75%, HG group), low fineness gold alloy(Au 55%, LG group) and nonprecious metal alloy(Ni-Cr, NP group). The UCLA type plastic abutment patterns were invested with conventional investment material and were cast in a centrifugal casting machine. Castings were sandblasted with $50{\mu}m\;Al_2O_3$. One casting specimen of each group was polished by conventional finishing(HGCON, LGCON, NPCON) and one specimen of each group was subjected to EDM in a system using Cu electrodes, kerosene as dielectric fluid in 10 min for gold alloy and 20 min for Ni-Cr alloy(HGEDM. LGEDM, NOEDM). The surface morphology of all specimens was studied under an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). The quantitative results from EDS analysis are presented on the HGEDM and LGEDM specimens a significant increase in C and Cu concentrations was found after EDM finishing. The different result was documented for C on the NPEDM with a significant uptake of O after EDM finishing, whereas Al, Si showed a significant decrease in their concentrations. EDS analysis showed a serious uptake of C and Cu after the EDM procedure in the alloys studied. The C uptake after the EDM process is a common finding and it is attributed to the decomposition of the dielectric fluid in the plasma column, probably due to the development of extremely high temperatures. The Cu uptake is readily explained from the decomposition of Cu electrodes, something which is also a common finding after the EDM procedure. However, all the aforementioned mechanisms require further research. The clinical implication of these findings is related with the biological and corrosion resistance of surfaces prepared by the EDM process.

"용재총화", "천공개물", "The Korean Review"등의 고문헌을 통하여 청동유물 제작에 사용된 소재, 거푸집, 합금 등의 주조기술을 확인하였다. 상평통보 복원 주조실험은 "The Korean Review"를 기초한 주물사주조법을 적용하여 황동, 청동 소재의 모전판(母錢版, 鑄錢版)을 제작하였다. 거푸집은 본기(本器)틀과 목틀, 주물사로 구성되는데 본기틀은 주물사를 담는 바깥 틀의 재질에 따라 목틀과 쇠틀로 나뉘며, 주물사는 옅은 황색의 전북 이리사를 사용했다. 주물사주조법으로 상평통보 복원에 사용된 모합금 성분비를 살펴보면, 황동은 "The Korean Review" 기록의 성분비인 Cu 60%, Zn 30%, Pb 10%를 근거로 삼았으며, 실제 복원에는 합금 시 아연과 납이 기화되어 성분비율이 감소될 것을 감안하여 Cu 60%, Zn 35%, Pb 15%로 설정하였다. 청동은 청주시 신봉동유적 출토 해동 통보의 성분비인 Cu 80%, Sn 6%, Pb 14%를 근거로 하였으며, 실제 복원에는 Cu 80%, Sn 11%, Pb 19%로 설정하였다. 주물사주조법에 의한 상평통보 복원은 목재로 부전(父錢)을 먼저 제작하고 목틀과 본기쇠틀을 이용한 거푸집 만들기, 합금, 주조하기, 모전 만들기 등의 과정으로 모전판(母錢版, 鑄錢版)을 복원하였다. 복원된 상평통보의 모합금과 1차 주조, 2차 주조물의 성분분석을 실시한 결과 청동 모합금은 구리는 약 5%가 증가하고 납은 약 4% 손실되었으며, 황동 모합금은 구리는 약 5%가 증가하고 납은 약 4%, 아연은 12%은 감소하여 아연의 손실률이 큰 것을 알 수 있다. 1차, 2차 모전판의 EDS 분석결과 청동 모전판은 1차에 비해 2차에서 납이, 황동 모전판은 아연이 낮게 나온 것은 1차 모전판의 용융과정에서 납과 아연이 기화된 결과로 보인다. 또한 청동과 황동의 모합금과 1차, 2차 주전판의 미세조직에서는 ${\alpha}$상과 크고 작은 납 편석물이 보이고, 황동 모전판에서만 불순물로 보이는 Al, Si 등이 확인되었다.

Nanostructured high strength metastable Al-, Mg- and Ti-based alloys containing different amorphous, quasicrystalline and nanocrystalline phases are synthesized by non-equilibrium processing techniques. Such alloys can be prepared by quenching from the melt or by powder metallurgy techniques. This paper focuses on one hand on mechanically alloyed and ball milled powders containing different volume fractions of amorphous or nano-(quasi)crystalline phases, consolidated bulk specimens and, on the other hand. on cast specimens containing different constituent phases with different length-scale. As one example. $Mg_{55}Y_{15}Cu_{30}$- based metallic glass matrix composites are produced by mechanical alloying of elemental powder mixtures containing up to 30 vol.% $Y_2O_3$ particles. The comparison with the particle-free metallic glass reveals that the nanosized second phase oxide particles do not significantly affect the glass-forming ability upon mechanical alloying despite some limited particle dissolution. A supercooled liquid region with an extension of about 50 K can be maintained in the presence of the oxides. The distinct viscosity decrease in the supercooled liquid regime allows to consolidate the powders into bulk samples by uniaxial hot pressing. The $Y_2O_3$ additions increase the mechanical strength of the composites compared to the $Mg_{55}Y_{15}Cu_{30}$ metallic glass. The second example deals with Al-Mn-Ce and Al-Cu-Fe composites with quasicrystalline particles as reinforcements, which are prepared by quenching from the melt and by powder metallurgy. $Al_{98-x}Mn_xCe_2$ (x =5,6,7) melt-spun ribbons containing a major quasicrystalline phase coexisting with an Al-matrix on a nanometer scale are pulverized by ball milling. The powders are consolidated by hot extrusion. Grain growth during consolidation causes the formation of a micrometer-scale microstructure. Mechanical alloying of $Al_{63}Cu_{25}Fe_{12}$ leads to single-phase quasicrystalline powders. which are blended with different volume fractions of pure Al-powder and hot extruded forming $Al_{100-x}$$(Al_{0.63}Cu_{0.25}Fe_{0.12})_x$ (x = 40,50,60,80) micrometer-scale composites. Compression test data reveal a high yield strength of ${\sigma}_y{\geq}$700 MPa and a ductility of ${\varepsilon}_{pl}{\geq}$5% for than the Al-Mn-Ce bulk samples. The strength level of the Al-Cu-Fe alloys is ${\sigma}_y{\leq}$550 MPa significantly lower. By the addition of different amounts of aluminum, the mechanical properties can be tuned to a wide range. Finally, a bulk metallic glass-forming Ti-Cu-Ni-Sn alloy with in situ formed composite microstructure prepared by both centrifugal and injection casting presents more than 6% plastic strain under compressive stress at room temperature. The in situ formed composite contains dendritic hcp Ti solid solution precipitates and a few $Ti_3Sn,\;{\beta}$-(Cu, Sn) grains dispersed in a glassy matrix. The composite micro- structure can avoid the development of the highly localized shear bands typical for the room temperature defor-mation of monolithic glasses. Instead, widely developed shear bands with evident protuberance are observed. resulting in significant yielding and homogeneous plastic deformation over the entire sample.

Effects of Si and Ni addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Cu-12wt.%Al-5wt.%Fe-1wt.%Mn alloy have been investigated experimentally. Microstructure of the as-cast specimen is found to be refined markedly by additions of Ni and Si. By the addition of Ni, volume fraction of the ${\kappa}$ phase is increased, but volume fraction of the ${\gamma}$ phase is decreased. Hardness is increased with the addition of Ni, due to increasing of ${\kappa}$ phase which is harder than ${\gamma}$ phase. However, Charpy impact value is not significally decreased possibly due to the formation of isolate ${\kappa}$ phase.

상온과 액체질소온도에서 압축시험을 통하여 $LI_{2}$단상함금 및 $LI_{2}$상에 제 2상을 수 %또는 20%정도 포함하는 합금조성을 선택하였다. 일반적으로 제 2상을 20%정도 포함하는 2상합금들은 $Ll_{2}$단상합금에 비해 항복강도는 높으나 연성은 좋지 않았다. 그러나 $Cr_{2}AI$을 제 2상으로하는 20%정도 포함하는 Al-21Ti-23Cr합금은 다른 합금들에 비해 비교적 높은 항복강도와 함계 우수한 연성을 나타내었다. 또한 $Li_{2}$단상합금 및 $Cr_{2}Al$을 수% 포함하는 2상합금에 대한 소성거동도 조사하였다. 균질화처리 후에 제 2상의 양은 줄었으나 pore의 양은 증가하였다. 균질화처리 후에 $Ll_{2}$단상조직에서 나타나는 pore의 양은 Cr의양이 증가할수록 줄어들었으며, Cr 의 양이 더욱 증가하여 $Cr_{2}$Al이 제2상으로 생성될 때는 pore가 완전히 소멸하였다. 변형속도를 $1.2 \times 10^{-4}/s$와 $1.2 \times 10^{-2}/s$의 두가지 조건으로 변화시키면서 압축시험을 행하여 합금의 연성에 미치는 환경취성의 영향을 조사하였다. $LI_{2}$단상합금인 AI-25Ti-10Cr합금이 환경취성의 영향을 가장 적게 받는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 pore의 생성, 환경취성, ingot 주조조직 등을 종합평가해 보면 $Cu_{2}Al$을 제 2상으로 20%정도 포함하는 Ak-21Ti-23Cr합금이 가장 우수한 인장연싱율을 나타낼 것으로 기대된다.

The effects of Fe and Si additions on the microstructures and mechanical properties of aluminum bronze have been investigated. In a bar-type specimen cast in a die mold, the addition of Fe promoted the dendritic solidification of the ${\alpha}$ phase. The hardness values increased slightly in the Fe-added specimen with heat treatment, while these values was increased significantly in the specimens with Si or with combined additions of Fe and Si. When a centrifugal casting bush with combined addition of Fe and Si was heat treated, the FeSi compound within the matrix was finely dispersed, and was observed to be the origin of cup-cone type conical dimple failure in the tensile fracture surface. The mechanical properties of the heat treated centrifugal casting bushes, whose nominal alloy compositions were (Cu-7.0Al-0.8Fe-3.0Si)wt%, exhibited tensile strength of $703-781N/mm^2$, elongation of 6.6-11.7% and hardness of Hv 222.6-249.2. These high values of strength and elongation were attributed to the strengthening of the matrix due to the combined addition of Fe and Si, and to precipitation of fine the FeSi compound.
