Precipitation and strengthening mechanisms in squeeze cast Mg-8.5wt%Li-4.5wt%Al have been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), in-situ and ex-situ X-ray diffraction analysis and hardness measurement. Special emphasis was placed on the investigation of the precipitation behavior by the DSC technique. Microstructural and calorimetric analysis showed that ${\theta}$ and ${\delta}$ precipitates in the b.c.c. ${\beta}$ phase matrix, forming two exothermic peaks at the temperature ranges of $130^{\circ}C{\sim}180^{\circ}C$ and $236^{\circ}C{\sim}280^{\circ}C$. ${\theta}$ and ${\delta}$ dissolve into the matrix forming an endothermic peak at the temperature range of $280^{\circ}C{\sim}352^{\circ}C$. The as-cast microstructure consists of ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$ and ${\delta}$. Peak strength was obtained after aging for 1 hour at $50^{\circ}C$. The aging time required for the peak strength decreased as the aging temperature increases. The hardness decrease during overaging was due to the coarsening of ${\theta}$ precipitates. Microhardness measurement showed that variation of the hardness of ${\beta}$ matrix was more pronounced than that of the ${\alpha}$ phase, indicating that the ${\beta}$ phase is more responsible for the strengthening of the Mg-8.5wt%Li-4.5wt%Al alloy.

Mg-8Li-4AI 합금의 부식특성에 미치는 Y의영향을 전기화학적 분극시험 및 침지시험을 통하여 조사하였다. 전기 화학적 분극시험에서는 Y첨가량이 증가함에 따라 활성화 영역이 감소하엿고 부식전위가 증가하였으며, Y이 4.08wt% 첨가된 경우가 Y이 첨가되지 않은 경우에 비해 부식속도가 크게 감소하였다. 침지시험에서도 Y의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 Y을 첨가하지 않은 시편에 비하여 무게감량 및 부시속도가 감소하였으며, Y이 첨가되지 않은 합금의 부식속도는 침지시간에 따라 급격히 증가하였지만 Y이 첨가되지 않은 합금의 부식속도는 침지시간에 따라 급격히 증가하였지만 Y이 4.8wt% 첨가된 합금은 96시간 이후부터 더 이상 증가하지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 Y 화합물(Mg24Y5)이 $\alpha$/$\beta$계면에서 희생 양극으로 작용하였기 때문이라고 생각된다. 따라서 Y의 첨가는 Mg-Li-AI 합금의 내식성을 향상시키는 역할을 한 것으로 판단된다.

Mn의 함량을 달리하여 제조한 Al-Li-Cu-Mg-Mn-Zr 합금의 미고용상 및 분산상을 EPMA(Electron Probe Microanalyzer)와 SAEM(Scanning Auger Electron Microscope)으로 분석하였다. 또한 미고용상의 부피 분율, 분포 및 형태를 광학현미경으로 관찰하였으며, 상온과 고온에서의 인장 특성을 조사하였다. Mn의 함량이 증가함에 따라 미고용상의 부피분율을 급격히 증가하고 연신율을 감소하였다. Mn은 기지 조직의 결정립을 미세하고 균일하게 분포하도록 하였다. 인장시험 결과, 0.44 wt% Mn이 첨가된 합금이 다른 합금보다 우수한 기계적 특성을 나타내었다.

This study is aimed to investigate the effect of various thermomechanical treatments($T_6$, $T_8$ and ITMT) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of an Al-Cu-Li-Ag-Mg-Zr alloy (Weldalite 049) which has been known to strong natural aging response, good weldablity and high strength in $T_6$ sand $T_8$ temper. This experiment was performed by means of differential scaning calorimetry, tensile test, optical and transmission electron microscopy. The tensile strength in the peak aged condition shows 620, 650 MPa in $T_6$ and $T_8$(40% cold work), respectively. Also, The tensile strength is increased with cold working in $T_8$ but decreased at 60% cold working. However, the tensile strength of the intermediate thermomechanical treated speciman(ITMT) is lower than that of $T_6$ temper about 20% but the elongation is higher than two times. It might be predicted that the ITMT is effective processing to improve the toughness of this alloy. In $T_6$, $T_8$ and ITMT, the major strengthening phase is $T_1(Al_2CuLi)$ phases. and the fine $T_1$ phase which are homogeneously precipited in matrix was observed much more in $T_8$ than $T_6$ and ITMT.

In this study, changes in the microstructure and mechanical properties of cast and extruded Al-2Li-1Ce alloy materials were investigated as the Mg content was varied. The density decreased to 2.485, 2.46 and 2.435 g/cm³ when the Mg content in the Al-2Li-1Ce alloy was increased to 2, 4 and 6 wt%, respectively. Intermetallic compounds of Al₁₁Ce₃ were observed in all alloys, while the β-phase of Al₃Mg₂ was observed in alloys containing 6 wt% of Mg. In the extruded material, with increasing Mg content the average grain size decreased to 84.8, 71.6 and 36.2 ㎛, and the fraction of high-angle grain boundaries (greater than 15°) increased to 82.8 %, 88.6 %, and 91.8 %, respectively. This occurred because the increased Mg content promotes dynamic recrystallization during hot extrusion. Tensile test results showed that as the Mg content increased, both the yield strength and tensile strength increased. The yield strength reached 86.1, 107.3, and 186.4 MPa, and the tensile strength reached 215.2, 285, and 360.5 MPa, respectively. However, it is worth noting that the ductility decreased to 27.78 %, 25.65 %, and 20.72 % as the Mg content increased. This reduction in ductility is attributed to the strengthening effect resulting from the increased amount of dissolved Mg, and grain refinement due to dynamic recrystallization.

AI-Si계합금인 2090과 CP 276합금에 Ag(0-0.16wt.%)을 첨가하여 조직 및 기계적 성질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Ag첨가는 결정립크기를 작게하였으며, $\delta$'($AI_{3}Li$)과 $T_{1}(AI_{2}CuLi$)석출상은 2090합금에서 미세하고 균일하게 형성되었으나 CP 276 합금에서는 변화를 보이지 않았다. Ag이 0.16wt.%함유된 2090합금의 경우 인장강도값은 약 40MPa 향상되었으며 연신율은 약간 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. MG이 함유된 CP 276합금에서는 미량으로 첨가된 Ag에 의한 강도 및 연신율의 변화가 나타나지 않았다. $150^{\circ}C$에서 시효처리하였을 경우에 합금에 따라 70또는 90시간에서 최대 경도값 92 $H_rB$를 나타내었다.

급냉응고된 Al-3.51wt%Li-0.34wt%Zr 합금의 시효거동을 시차주사열량계(DSC)에 의한 열분석 방법으로 조사하였다. DSC에 의한 비열측정 결과 $\delta$’의 석출에 의한 발열반응과 $\delta$, $\beta$ 및 복합석출상의 석출에 의한 발열반응을 확인하였으며 $\delta$’ 및 $\delta$의 재고용에 의한 2개의 흡열반응을 확인하였다. 7$0^{\circ}C$ 저온시효시 $\delta$’의 석출에 의한 발열반응 이전에 흡열반응이 나타났으며 이것은 $\delta$’ 석출 이전에 $\delta$’ 전구생성물이 형성되었음을 의미한다. DSC 곡선상에 나타난 발열과 흡열곡선을 해석하여 얻은 $\delta$’상 석출과 재고용의 활성화에너지값은 각각 83KJ/mol과 98KJ/mol로서 Al-Li 2원계 및 Al-Li-Mg에 비해 높은 값을 나타내엇으며, 시효에 의한 강화가 일어나 DSC에 의한 비열변화 조사결과 나타난 $\delta$’상 석출 완료 시효조건점 (21$0^{\circ}C$, 1시간)에서 최고경도값(Hv 160)을 나타내었다.

During the past five years a very successful effort has been made to improve existing and develop new aluminium alloys. The progress achieved has been possible because of the development of new production methods, such as powder metallurgy and spray/deposition. These methods make use of rapid solidification process which alloys compositions other than those achieved by conventional ingot metallurgy. The ingot metallurgy of the 2000 and 7000 series used thus far, as well as the age hardening Al-Li alloys, show several disadvantages caused by the production process. Such problems are primarily coarse intermetallic constituent phases, coarse grains and macrosegregation, resulting in low fracture toughness. The present contribution reports results of an experimental investigation performed on a modern high strength spay deposited aluminium alloy of the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu (7075 and the modified 7150X) type. Results are given in terms of its microstructural characterization by using X-ray diffractomertry and transmission electron microscopic. The mechanical propierties of those alloys in the as-extruded and extruded+aged condition were evaluated by using microhardness Vickers, tensile test and fracture toughness measurements.

The cathodic hydrogen evolution ability of different pure metals and their long term galvanic corrosion behavior with pure Mg were investigated. The hydrogen evolution ability of pure Ti, Al, Sn and Zr is weak, while that of Fe, W, Cr, and Co is very strong. Initial polarization test could not completely reveal the cathodic behavior of the tested metals during long term corrosion. The cathodic hydrogen evolution ability may vary significantly in the long term galvanic tests for different metals, especially for Al whose cathodic current density reduced to 1/50 of the initial value. The anodic polarization shows that Al and Sn as alloying elements are supposed to provide relatively good passive effect for Mg alloy, while Ag can provide a slight passive effect and Zn has little passive effect.

The objective of this study is to investigate the ballistic properties of Zr-based amorphous alloy surface composites fabricated by high-energy electron-beam irradiation. The mixture of Zr-based amorphous powders and $LiF+MgF_2$ flux powders was deposited on a pure Ti substrate, and then an electron beam irradiated this powder mixture to fabricate a one-layer surface composite. A four-layer surface composite, in which the composite layer thickness was larger than 3 mm, was also fabricated by irradiating the deposited powder mixture by an electron beam three times on the one-layer surface composite. The microstructural analysis results indicated that a small amount of fine crystalline particles were homogeneously distributed in the amorphous matrix of the surface composite layer. According to the ballistic impact test results, the surface composite layers effectively blocked a fast traveling projectile, while many cracks were formed at the composite layers, and thus the surface composite plates were not perforated. The surface composite layer containing ductile ${\beta}$ dendritic phases showed a better ballistic performance than the one without dendrites because dendritic phases hindered the propagation of shear bands or cracks.
