This study examined the mechanical properties and the flame retardant properties of CR rubber containing inorganic flame retardant with various contents of aluminium trihydroxide (ATH, $Al(OH)_3$). The content of aluminium trihydroxide was added in 0, 30, 50, 70 and 100 phr for T1~T5 samples. It was found that increasing the amount of addition over 30 phr resulted in decreasing the mechanical properties. On the other hand in oxygen index measurements T1 sample showed a value of 38.6%, indicating the improvement of flame retardant properties showed a value of 49.7~64.2%. In case of burn test, it was confirmed that CR rubber containing over ATH 50phr content showed performance corresponding to that of first grade fire-resistance.

Aluminium powder as reductant in aluminothermy process needs a fine particle size under 200 mesh, but it is not easy economically to make that because of its high ductility and powder production cost. In order to reduce the production cost of fine aluminum powder as reductant of $Mn_3O_4$ waste dust, therefore, the properties of aluminium alloy powder were investigated. Aluminium alloy ingot containing large amount of manganese can be crushed easily because of its intermetallic compounds having brittle properties. The manganese is also main element in ferro-manganese. We can obtain economically Al-15%Mn alloy powder by mechanical comminution process. And the result of thermite reaction using Al-15% Mn alloy powder instead of pure Al powder showed the fact that can be obtained the ferro-manganese which have a high purity in case of using pure aluminium powder as reductant. The recovery of manganese from $Mn_3O_4$ waste dust with Al-15%Mn alloy powder was higher level of about 70% than about 65% in case of using aluminium powder, that is due to lower spatter loss.

Water-soluble cutting fluids are used for processing of aluminium materials. This short article describes properties of new additives of water-soluble cutting fluids for aluminium materials. Various Diels-Alder adducts of unsaturated fatty acids with acrylic acid of maleic anhydride were prepared by thermal reactions. Triethanolamine salts of Diels-Alder adducts of dehydrated castor oil fatty acids with acrylic acid or maleic anhydride showed excellent anti-corrosion property of aluminium materals. These thermal adducts showed anti-rust property for cast-iron chips, too.

Aluminium foam material is a highly porous material having complicated cellular structure defined by randomly distributed air pores in metallic matrix. this structure gives the aluminium a set of properties which cannot be achieved by any of conventional treatments. The properties of aluminium foam material significantly depend on its porosity, so that a desired profile of properties can be tailored by changing the foam density. Melting method is the one of foaming processes, which the production has long been considered difficult to realize becaues of such problems as the low foamability of molten metal, the varying size of. cellular structures, solidification shrinkage and so on. These problems, however, have gradually been solved by researchers and some manufacturers are now producing foamed aluminum by their own methods. Most of all, the parameters of solving problem in electric furnace were stirring temperature, stirring velocity, foaming temper:iture, and so on. But it has not considered about those in induction heating, foaming velocity and foaming temperature in semi-solid state yet. Therefore, this paper presents the effects on these parameter to control cell size, quantity and distribution.

It is important to know the mechanical properties of the materials under dynamic load. The mechanical properties of most materials are influenced to some extent by strain rate. One of the reliable test device for determining the mechanical properties of materials at high strain rate is Split Hopkinson Pressure bar. In this paper, we conducted the mechanical properties test for the aluminium alloy 6063 and 6061 using the SHPB device.

Authors conducted a deduction of some parameters using the magnetic equivalent circuit method and a verification study of the thrust force control algorithm of a rotary-typed small-scaled linear induction motor for a railway transit. In a LIM, it is possible to express the parameters of the magnetic equivalent circuit into a function of the shape of the secondary aluminium plate and the airgap between the LIM primary core and the secondary aluminium plate. It means that the LIM properties can be changed considerably by the shape of the secondary aluminium plate and the airgap between the LIM primary core and the secondary aluminium plate. So, authors analyzed a tendency of changes of the magnetic equivalent circuit parameters and the LIM characteristics by changing of the airgap of the secondary aluminium plate of a rotary-typed small-scaled LIM. And authors conducted a verification study of the indirect vector control algorithm with constant slip frequency by using the rotary-typed small-scaled LIM tester set on the basis of the calculated LIM parameters. Finally authors accomplished a research on applicability for LIM railway transit.

CFM(Cast Forge Method) is widely used in manufacturing industry to produce aluminium parts with good mechanical properties and low production cost. CFM is the process which produces a final products by forging from the initial billet by casting. The study on this paper covers the automatic design method which finds a pertinent shape for initial billet using Fast Fourier Transform, low-pass frequency filtering and FEM simulation of the nonisothermal forging process by DEFORM. These works will give us an information to enhance the low strength of a aluminium casting.

The effects of casting processes-direct and indirect squeeze casting, permanent mold casting and die casting on the microstructure and mechanical properties were studied for the hypereutectic B390 aluminium alloy. The effects of T5 and T6 heat treatment were also examined. The direct and indirect squeeze casting showed no casting defects such as porosity and shrinkage were observed in permanent mold castings and die castings. The primary silicon phase was refined and homogeneously distributed in the order of indirect squeeze casting, diecasting, direct squeeze casting and permanent mold casting. Depletion of primary silicon phase in die casting surface was disappeared in indirect squeeze casting. Tensile strength of cast and heat treated specimens were increased in the order of direct squeeze casting, permanent mold casting, indirect squeeze casting and die casting. Hardness of indirect squeeze castings was larger than that of other castings. As indirect squeeze casting of B390 aluminium alloy, the time of T6 heat treatment to achieve high strength can be reduced.

Electron beam irradiation is widely used as a type of surface modification technology to advance surface properties. In this study, the effect of electron beam irradiation on properties, such as surface hardness, wear resistance, roughness, and critical load of Titanium Aluminium nitride (TiAlN) films was investigated. TiAlN films were deposited on the SKD-61 substrate by using cathode arc ion plating. After deposition, the films were bombarded with intense electron beam for 10 minutes. The surface hardness was increased up to 4520 HV at electron irradiation energy of 1500 eV. In addition, surface root mean square (RMS) roughness of the films irradiated at 1500 eV shows the lowest roughness of 484 nm in this study.

The effects of additional Mg content, the size and volume fraction of reinforcement phase on the mechanical properties of ceramic particle reinforced aluminium matrix composites fabricated by pressureless metal infiltration process were investigated. The hardness of $SiC_p/AC8A$ composites increased gradually with an increase in the additive Mg content, while the bending strength of $SiC_p/AC8A$ composites increased with an increase in additive Mg content up to 5%. However, this decreased when the level of additive Mg content was greater than 5% due to the formation of coarse precipitates by excessive Mg reaction and an increase in the porosity level. The hardness and strength of the composites increased with decreasing the size of SiC particle. It was found that the composites with smaller particles enhanced the interfacial bonding than those with bigger particles from fractography of the composites. The hardness of $Al_2O_{3p}/AC8A$ composites increased gradually with an increase in the volume fraction, however, the bending strength of $Al_2O_{3p}/AC8A$ composites decreased when the volume fraction of alumina particle was greater than 40% owing to the high porosity level.
