현재 구조용 합금으로는 최경량화인 Mg-Li-Al합금의 내식성에 미치는 Si의 영향을 전기화학적 분극시험에 의하여 조사하였다. 전기화학적 분극시험은 ${KH}_{2}{PO}_{5}$·NaOH 완충용액으로 pH7로 고정한 0.03% NaCl 전해액에서 Mg-Li-Al(A4)합금과 Mg-Li-Al에 Si을 0.48 wt% 첨가한 (S5)합금에 대하여 전류밀도에 따른 전위의 변화를 측정하였다. 실험 결과 미량의 Si를 첨가한 Mg-Li-Al-Si 합금의 경우가 Si을 첨가하지 않은 Mg-Li-Al 합금의 경우보다 부식속도가 증가하였으며, 부식생성물의 분포범위도 넓었고 생성량도 많았다. 이러한 실험결과를 고려해 볼 때, Mg-Li-Al 합금에 미량이지만 Sidl 첨가됨으로써 Mg-Li-Al 합금의 내식성이 감소된다고 판단된다. 따라서 강도특성이 향상을 목적으로 첨가하는 Si의 첨가량에 대해서는 적절한 양의 조정이 필요하다.

초정 $Mg_2Si$와 미세한 $MgZn_2$ 석출상을 갖는 고강도 내마모 Al합금을 개발하기 이하여 Al-l2wt%Mg-5.5wt%Zn합금에 0-5wt%까지 Si을 첨가 시켰으며, 미세조직 및 기계적 성질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Si의 함량이 증가함에 따라 형성되는 $Mg_2Si$상의 양이 증가하였으며, 동시에 고강선 온도가 점차적으로 증가함에 따라 효과적인 열처리가 가능해지는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 5wt%Si이 첨가된 합금의 경우 적절한 열처리를 통해 미세한 $MgZn_2$ 석출상이 기지에 균일하게 분포한 미세조직을 얻을 수 있었고 이를 통해 인장강도를 현저하게 증가시킬 수 있었다. 또한 Si이 첨가된 Al-Mg-Zn합금은 유동도 및 열간 균열저항성과 같은 주조성면에서도 다른 고강도 Al합금에 비하여 월등히 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

Effect of Fe and Mn contents on the tensile properties of Al-4 wt%Mg-0.9 wt%Si alloy system has been studied. Common phases of Al-4 wt%Mg-0.9 wt%Si alloy system were ${\alpha}$-Al, $Mg_2Si$, ${\alpha}-Al_{12}(Fe,Mn)_3Si$ and ${\beta}-Al_5FeSi$. As Fe content of Al-4 wt%Mg-0.9 wt%Si alloy system increased from 0.15 wt% to above 0.3 wt%, ${\beta}-Al_5FeSi$ compound appeared. When Mn content of the alloy increased from 0.3 wt% to 0.5 wt%, morphology of plate shaped ${\beta}-Al_5FeSi$ compound changed to chinese script ${\alpha}-Al_{12}(Fe,Mn)_3Si$. As Fe content of Al-4 wt%Mg-0.9 wt%Si-0.3 wt%Mn alloy increased from 0.15 wt% to 0.4 wt%, tensile strength of the as-cast alloy decreased from 191 MPa to 183 MPa and, elongation of the alloy also decreased from 8.0% to 6.2%. Decrease of these properties can be explained as the formation of plate shape, ${\beta}-Al_5FeSi$ phase with low Mn/Fe ratio of the alloy. However, when Mn content of Al-4 wt%Mg-0.9 wt%Si-0.3 wt%Fe alloy increased from 0.3 wt% to 0.5 wt%, tensile strength of as-cast alloy increased from 181 MPa to 194 MPa and, elongation of the alloy increased from 6.8% to 7.0%. These improvements attribute to the morphology change from ${\beta}-Al_5FeSi$ phase to chinese script, ${\alpha}-Al_{15}(Fe,Mn)_3Si_2$ phase shape-modified from with high Mn/Fe ratio of the alloy.

Al-Si-SiC composite powders with intra-granular SiC particles were prepared by a gas atomization process. The composite powders were mixed with Al-Zn-Mg alloy powders as a function of weight percent. Those mixture powders were compacted with the pressure of 700 MPa and then sintered at the temperature of $565-585^{\circ}C$. T6 heat treatment was conducted to increase their mechanical properties by solid-solution precipitates. Each relative density according to the optimized sintering temperature of those powders were determined as 96% at $580^{\circ}C$ for Al-Zn-Mg powders (composition A), 97.9% at $575^{\circ}C$ for Al-Zn-Mg powders with 5 wt.% of Al-Si-SiC powders (composition B), and 98.2% at $570^{\circ}C$ for Al-Zn-Mg powders with 10 wt.% of Al-Si-SiC powders (composition C), respectively. Each hardness, tensile strength, and wear resistance test of those sintered samples was conducted. As the content of Al-Si-SiC powders increased, both hardness and tensile strength were decreased. However, wear resistance was increased by the increase of Al-Si-SiC powders. From these results, it was confirmed that Al-Si-SiC/Al-Zn-Mg composite could be highly densified by the sintering process, and thus the composite could have high wear resistance and tensile strength when the content of Al-Si-SiC composite powders were optimized.

본 연구는 Al-Mg-Si 합금에서 Cu가 첨가 후 자연시효와 인공시효에 따른 제2상 석출 반응이 합금의 열확산도 및 경도에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 연구에 사용된 Al-0.4Mg-0.2Si 합금과 Cu를 0.6 wt%, 1.0wt% 추가한 Al-Mg-Si-Cu 합금을 각각 중력 주조로 제작하고 열확산도 경도를 측정하고 석출 반응을 확인하기 위해 열량 분석을 실시 하였다. Al-Mg-Si 합금에 첨가된 Cu는 Q'상 및 θ'상과 같은 강화상 형성에 참여하여 합금의 경도와 고온 열확산도를 향상시켰다. 한편, 자연시효 시간 증가는 Al-Mg-Si-Cu 합금의 열확산도에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 경도를 하락시키는 것으로 확인되었다.

The effects of Mg and Si contents on the microstructure and mechanical properties in Al-Mg alloy (ALDC6) were investigated. The results showed that phase fraction and size of $Mg_2Si$ and $Al_{15}(Fe,Mn)_3Si_2$ phase in the microstructure of Al-Mg alloy were increased as the Mg and Si contents were raised from 2.5 to 3.5 wt%. With Si content of 1.5 wt%, freezing range of the alloy was significantly reduced and solidification became more complex during the final stage of solidification. While there was no significant influence of Mg contents on mechanical properties, Si contents up to 1.5 wt%, strongly affected the mechanical properties. Especially elongation was reduced by about a half with more than 1.0 wt%Si in the alloy. The bending and impact strength were decreased with increased amount of Si in the alloy, as well. The lowered mechanical properties are because of the growth of particle shaped coarse $Mg_2Si$ phase and precipitation of the needle like $\beta$-AlFeSi in the microstructure at the last region to solidify due to presence of excess amount of Si in the alloy.

In this study, Al-Si-Mg alloys are additively manufactured using a selective laser melting (SLM) process from AlSi10Mg powders prepared from a gas-atomization process. The processing parameters such as laser scan speed and laser power are investigated for 3D printing of Al-Si-Mg alloys. The laser scan speeds vary from 100 to 2000 mm/s at the laser power of 180 and 270 W, respectively, to achieve optimized densification of the Al-Si-Mg alloy. It is observed that the relative density of the Al-Si-Mg alloy reaches a peak value of 99% at 1600 mm/s for 180 W and at 2000 mm/s for 270W. The surface morphologies of the both Al-Si-Mg alloy samples at these conditions show significantly reduced porosities compared to those of other samples. The increase in hardness of as-built Al-Si-Mg alloy with increasing scan speed and laser power is analyzed due to high relative density. Furthermore, it was found that cooling conditions after the heat-treatment for homogenization results in the change of dispersion status of Si phases in the Al-Si matrix but also affects tensile behaviors of Al-Si-Mg alloys. These results indicate that combination between SLM processing parameters and post-heat treatment should be considered a key factor to achieve optimized Al-Si alloy performance.

Thermomechanical behavior of Al-Mg-Si alloys have been studied to investigate the effect of microstructural features such as pre-existing substructure and distribution of particles on the deformation characteristics. The controlled compression tests have been carried out to get the basic information on how the alloy responds to temperature, strain amount and strain rate. Then hot forging of Al-Mg-Si alloys has been carried out and analyzed by the comparison with the compression tests. Microstructural features after forging have been discussed in terms of the thermomechanical response of Al-Mg-Si alloys. As already well mentioned, we have found that the deformation of Al-Mg-Si at the elevated temperature brought the recovered structure on most conditions. In a certain time, however, abnormally large grains have been found as a result of deformation assisted grain growth, which means that hot forging of Al-Mg-Si alloys could lead to a undesirable microstructural variation and the consequent mechanical properties such as fatigue strength.

The influences of Bi addition on morphological modification of $Mg_2Si$ phase and mechanical properties were investigated in Mg-7%Al-0.5%Si casting alloy. It was found that the addition of 0.3%Bi changed the $Mg_2Si$ morphology from coarse Chinese script type to polygonal type, and significantly decreased the size to ~5 ${\mu}m$ or less with the increase of number density. The modification of $Mg_2Si$ phase by the addition of Bi resulted in the improvement of tensile properties of the Mg-Al-Si alloy at RT and $175^{\circ}C$.
