칼라도장강판은 금속 제품의 제품화 공정 중에 도장 공정을 생략함으로 경제적이며, 제조공정 중 발생할 수 있는 VOCs(Volatile Organic Compounds)의 배출 염려가 없어 건축 및 가전 산업에 다용되고 있다. 칼라도장강판은 용융아연도금강판(GI), 전기아연도금강판(EGI), 용융알루미늄아연합금도금강판 등이 기재로 적용되고 있으며, 최근 마그네슘 성분이 첨가되는 고내식 도금강판 개발과 함께 고내식 도금강판을 이용한 칼라도장강판의 개발 및 수요 발굴을 위한 연구가 활발하게 진행 중에 있다. 칼라강판의 구성은 일반적으로 도막 밀착성 확보를 위한 화성처리층, 기재와 도막간의 밀착성과 내식성 개선을 위한 하도층(primer layer), 가공성, 내오염성, 의장성 등의 기능성 부여를 위한 상도층(top layer)의 구조로 도장되어 있다. 도료는 가공성, 내오염성, 경도 등의 기능성이 우수한 폴리에스테르 수지계가 가장 폭넓게 사용되고 경화제로는 멜라민 화합물과 이소시아네이트 화합물이 널리 사용되고 있다. 칼라도장 강판은 1970년대 이후 본격적으로 보급되어 사용되기 시작하였으며, 화성처리층은 밀착성과 내식성이 우수한 크로메이트처리가 널리 사용되고, 하도층은 방청성이 우수한 크로메이트계 방청 안료를 함유시킨 도료가 일반적이다. 그러나, 전기전자 제품에 적용되는 칼라도장강판은 2006년에 RoHS 규제의 시행과 더불어 6가 크롬 사용 제한의 영향으로 크롬프리 화성처리가 일반화되어 적용되고 있으며, 그 동안 6가 크롬 제안이 유보적이었던 건축용 칼라도장강판 또한 크롬프리 화성처리층 및 크로메이트계 방청 안료의 하도층 적용을 회피하고 있는 추세이다. 이에 따라, 고내식 합금도금강판을 기재로 사용하고 기존의 화성처리층과 하도층에 크롬프리 수지를 적용하는 연구개발이 활발하게 진행 중에 있다. 본 연구에서는 마그네슘이 첨가된 고내식 합금도금강판으로 Al-Mg-S i강판과 용융 Zn-Al-Mg 합금도금강판에 기존의 상용화 공정에서 사용되는 크롬계 및 크로프리 화성처리 적용 칼라도장강판에 대한 내식성 등 칼라도장강판의 특성에 대해 발표한다.

PosMAC^® is a brand of Zn-Mg-Al hot-dip coated steel sheet developed by POSCO. PosMAC^® can form dense surface oxides in corrosive environments, providing advanced corrosion resistance compared to traditional Zn coatings such as GI and GA. PosMAC^® 3.0 is available for construction and solar energy systems in severe outdoor environments. PosMAC^®1.5 has better surface quality. It is suitable for automotive and home appliances. Compared to GI and GA, PosMAC^® shows significantly less weight reduction due to corrosion, even with a lower coating thickness. Thin coating of PosMAC^® provides advanced quality and productivity in arc welding applications due to its less generation of Zn fume and spatters. In repeated friction tests, PosMAC^® showed lower surface friction coefficient than conventional coatings such as GA, GI, and lubricant film coated GA. Industrial demand for PosMAC^® steel is expected to increase in the near future due to benefits of anti-corrosion and robust application performance of PosMAC^® steel.

The microstructural changes by hot extrusion of AZ31B magnesium alloy were observed, and the relation to the tensile property was examined. The tensile properties as oriented longitudinal(L), half transverse(HT) and long transverse(LT) to the extrusion direction were investigated at $20^{\circ}C,\;100^{\circ}C,\;200^{\circ}C,\;300^{\circ}C\;and\;400^{\circ}C$, respectively. As the results, many recrystallized small grains distributed uniformly in large banded microstructures formed along the extrusion direction. The grain size of as-extruded specimen was around $30\~150\;{\mu}m$. As increasing the test temperature the tensile and yield strength with respect to the angle between the axis of the tensile and the longitudinal direction in extrusion was decreased, but their elongation were increased and their deviation between L and LT specimens have disappeared from $300^{\circ}C$. This mechanical anisotropy was reduced at elevated temperatures and almost disappeared at $400^{\circ}C$. It was considered that the homogenization was occured by the recrystallization and the change of slip system was occurred during tensile test process in elevated temperatures.

Most publications on friction stir welding describe phenomena or results with given process parameters like feed rate, rotation speed, angle and depth of penetration. But without a complete documentation of tool design, the results under the same process parameters are completely different. For this purpose, the Institute of Cutting and Joining Manufacturing Processes (tff), University of Kassel investigated the influence of tool roughness on the friction stir welding process. Therefore a defined surface finish was produced by turning and die sinking. As basis of comparison the constant parameters were rotation speed, feed rate, tilt angle and a heel plunge depth. Sound butt-welds were produced in aluminium alloy 6082 (AlMgSi1) with 1.5 mm sheet thickness with a turned reference tool with a surface of $Ra=0.575{\mu}m$ in position controlled mode. The surfaces are manufactured from a very fine to a very rough structure, classified by the VDI-classes with differences in the arithmetical mean roughness. It can be demonstrated with the help of temperature measures, that less heat is generated at the surfaces of the shoulder and the pin by the higher roughness due to lower active friction contact surface. This can also be seen in the resulting wormhole defects.
