The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of impurity level and fabrication processes on the strength, impact and fracture toughness of 7075, 7050 and 7175 aluminum alloy forgings. A specially processed 7175S-T74 aluminum forgings was superior to a conventionally processed 7075-T73, 7050-T74 and 7175-T74 aluminum forgings in both strength and toughness. The reduction of impurity level of iron and silicon has significantly diminished the size and volume fraction of second phase particles such as $Al_7Cu_2Fe$ and $Mg_2Si$. A further reduction of the amount of second phase particles has been observed by applying a special fabrication process. This phenomena result from the application of intermediate soaking at higher temperature and more sufficiant hot working temperature than that of a conventional processing.

Several aluminum based alloys were fabricated by a twin roll strip casting mill. As-cast microstructures and microsegregations of these aluminum alloys were investigated by means of optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and electron probe micro analysis. Clear distinction on microsegregation among the alloy systems was observed, that is, A1235 and A8011 alloys showed diffused segregation in the middle of the strip, while A3003 and A5086 alloys revealed a centerline segregation consisted of lamellar structure. Above center line segregation was resulted from enrichment of the alloying elements such as Mn, Fe, Cu, Si and eutictic reaction in central region of the alloy strip.

The synthesis of silver coated iron base alloy (Sendust : Fe-Si-Al) powder having the both effects of shielding and suppressing of electromagnetic wave was studied. Depending on thickness of silver coating layer, the electromagnetic properties of the dispersed particles complexed with organic binder were examined. It is proposed that the silver coated sendust flake powders with controlled electrical properties and thickness can be used as thin microwave absorbers in quasi-microwave frequency band.

Ribbon type nanocrystalline alloy cores have shown excellent soft magnetic properties in the high frequency range because of small crystalline anisotropy and nearly zero magnetostriction[1]. In present, however ribbon alloys gives some limit in applications such as a large inductor and reactors of PFC circuit, which are required good DC bias property and low loss in the high frequency. Powder alloys with ultra fine grain structure can be an important way to overcome this kind of disadvantage, and to improve the high frequency soft magnetic properties in conventional metallic powder cores[2].

Transverse magnetic field annealing (TFA) was carried out on $Fe_{73.5}Cu_1Nb_3Si_{15.5}B_7$ nano-crystalline magnetic core with the aim at decreasing coercivity ($H_c$) while keeping high inductance ($L_s$). The magnetic field generated by direct current (DC) was applied on the magnetic core during different selected annealing stages and it was proved that the nanocrystalline magnetic core achieved lowest $H_c$ when applying transverse field during the whole annealing process (TFA1). Although the microstructure and crystallization degree of the nanocrystalline magnetic core exhibited no obvious difference after TFA1 compared to no field annealing, the TFA1 sample showed a more uniform nanostructure with a smaller mean square deviation of grain size distribution. $H_c$ of the nanocrystalline magnetic core annealed under TFA1 decreased along with the increasing magnetic field. As a result, the certain size nanocrystalline magnetic core with low $H_c$ of 0.6 A/m, low core loss (W at 20 kHz) of 1.6 W/kg under flux density of 0.2 T and high $L_s$ of $13.8{\mu}H$ were obtained after TFA1 with the DC intensity of 140 A. The combination of high $L_s$ with excellent magnetic properties promised this nanocrystalline alloy an outstanding economical application in high frequency transformers.

Fe계 합금의 적층결함에너지를 감소시키는 것으로 알려진 Mn이 Fe-20Cr-1C-Si 경면처리 합금의 변형유기 상변태거동과 상온 및 고온 마모저항성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 15ksi의 접촉응력에 대하여 0~25wt.% Mn을 첨가한 시편은 모두 상온에서 마모손실량이 적은 우수한 마모저항성을 보였는데 Mn 첨가량이 5wt.% 이하인 시편의 경우 마모표면에서 ${\gamma}$$\longrightarrow$$\alpha$\`변형유기 상변태가 발생한 반면 15wt.% 이상 Mn을 첨가한 시편에서는 ${\gamma}$$\longrightarrow$$\varepsilon$변형유기 상변태가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 25$0^{\circ}C$까지 고온 마모시험결과 ${\gamma}$$\longrightarrow$$\alpha$\`변형유기 상변태가 발생한 5wt.% 이하 Mn 첨가시편은 Mn 첨가량이 증가할수록 마모손실량이 증가하는 것으로 보아 Mn 첨가는 ${\gamma}$$\longrightarrow$$\alpha$\`변형유기 상변태에 있어서 고온 마모저항성을 저하시키는 것으로 생각되며 이는 Mn이 ${\gamma}$$\longrightarrow$$\alpha$\`변형유기 상변태의 M(sub)d 온도를 감소시키기 때문으로 생각된다. 반면에 ${\gamma}$$\longrightarrow$$\varepsilon$변형유기 상변태가 일어난 15wt.% 이상 Mn 첨가 시편의 경우 Mn 첨가량 증가에 따른 고온 마모손실량의 차이가 없는 것으로 보아 ${\gamma}$$\longrightarrow$$\varepsilon$변형유기 상변태는 ${\gamma}$$\longrightarrow$$\alpha$\`변형유기 상변태에 비해 온도의 존성이 적은 것으로 생각된다.

Mn((Cu0.66AI0.34)1-x(Bi0.3Sb0.7)x) 및 Mn((Fe0.66AI0.34)1-x(Bi0.3Sb0.7)x) 합금계의 상의 변화와 자기적 특성을 조사하였다. Mn((Cu, SI)(Bi, Sb)) 합금계는 Bi상, MnSb상, MnBi상, k-상, Heuser상, Mn2Sb 및 $\beta$-Mn상의 혼합상으로 이루어졌으며 x가 증가함에 따라 Bi상과 Mn2Sb상이 증가하고 K-상, Heusler상 및 $\beta$-Mn상이 줄어들거나 사라졌다. 자기적 성질은 자성을 띄는 MnSb상, MnBi상, Mn2Sb상, k-상 및 Hseusler상과 비자성인 Bi상과 $\beta$-Mn상의 상대적 분율에 의해 결정됨을 알 수 있었고, 150K-200K 부근에서 그 이하로 온도가 감소함에 따라 자화값이 급격히 감소하는 현상이 나타났다. Mn((Fe, AI)(Bi, Sb))합금계는 Bi상, MnSb상, MnBi상, MnBi상,$\beta$-Mn상, k-상 및 Mn2Sb상의 혼합상으로 나타났으며, 자기적 성질은 조사한 전 조성에서 강자성을 띄고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Aluminium-silicon based casting alloys have received an attention for high electrical and thermal conductivity applications, however relatively low conductivity of Al-Si alloys often limits the application. Efforts have been made to develop new high conductivity aluminium casting alloys containing no or less silicon. In this study Al-Zn-Fe based alloys were selected as the new alloys, and the effect of Mg additions on their properties and casting characteristics were investigated. As the magnesium content was increased, the tensile strength of Al-2Zn-0.2Fe based alloy was remarkably increased, while the electrical conductivity was deteriorated. It was observed that the fluidity of the alloys was generally inversely proportional to the Mg content but the hot cracking resistance was rather proportional to it. Cooling curve analyses were carried out to measure the actual solidification range and dendrite coherency temperature.

The most widely utilized commercial, aluminum-casting alloys are based on an aluminum-silicon system due to its excellent casting, and good mechanical, properties. Unfortunately, these Al-Si based alloys are inherently poor energy conductors; compared to pure aluminum, because of their high silicon content. This means that they are not suitable for applications demanding high eletrical or thermal conductivity. Therefore, efforts are currently being made to develop new, highly-conductive aluminum-casting alloys containing no silicon. In this research, a number of properties; including potential for castability, were investigated for a number of Al-Fe-Zn-Cu alloys with varying Cu content. As the copper content was increased, the tensile strength of Al-Fe-Zn-Cu alloy tended to increase gradually, while the electrical conductivity was slightly reduced. Fluidity was found to be lower in high-Cu alloys, and susceptibility to hot-cracking was generally high in all the alloys investigated.

Information and communication technologies are developing rapidly as IC chip size becomes smaller and information processing becomes faster. With this development, digital circuit technology is being widely applied to mobile phones, wireless LANs, mobile terminals, and digital communications, in which high frequency range of GHz is used. In high-density electronic circuits, issues of noise and EMC(Electro-Magnetic Compatibility) arising from cross talk between interconnects or devices should be solved. In this study, sheet-type electromagnetic wave absorbers that cause electromagnetic wave attenuation are fabricated using composites based on soft magnetic metal powder and silicon rubber to solve the problem of electromagnetic waves generated in wireless communication products operating at the frequency range of 2.4 GHz. Sendust(Fe-Si-Al) and carbonyl iron(Fe-C) were used as soft magnetic metals, and their concentrations and sheet thicknesses were varied. Using soft magnetic metal powder, a sheet is fabricated to exhibit maximum electromagnetic attenuation in the target frequency band, and a value of 34.2dB(99.9 % absorption) is achieved at the target frequency.
