Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) has been widely used for the development and fabrication of nano-powder with various morphologies such as particle, wire, rod, and tube. So far, many researchers have reported about shape control and fabrication of AAO films. However, they have reported on the shape control with different diameter and length of anodic aluminum oxide mainly. We present a combined mild-hard (or hard-mild) anodization to prepare shape-controlled AAO films. Two main parameters which are combination mild-hard (or hard-mild) anodization and run-time of voltage control are applied in this work. The voltages of mild and hard anodization are respectively 40 and 80 V. Anodization was conducted on the aluminum sheet in 0.3 mole oxalic acid at $4^{\circ}C$. AAO films with morphologies of varying interpore distance, branch-shaped pore, diameter-modulated pore and long funnel-shaped pore were fabricated. Those shapes will be able to apply to fabricate novel nano-materials with potential application which is especially a support to prevent volume expansion of inserted active materials, such as metal silicon or tin powder, in lithium ion battery. The silicon powder electrode using an AAO as a support shows outstanding cycle performance as 1003 mAh/g up to 200 cycles.

미크론 크기의 알루미늄 분말과 물 혼합물의 기초 연소 특성 연구를 진행하였다. 대기압 환경에서 연소속도에 영향을 미치는 당량비와 혼합물 밀도를 변화시켜 알루미늄-물 혼합물의 연소 특성 연구를 진행하였다. 이를 바탕으로 고압 환경하에서의 알루미늄 분말과 물 혼합물에 대한 연소 특성을 연구하기 위한 장치를 설계하였다. 고압 환경에서 2~50기압 범위에서는 압력에 따른 연소속도의 영향은 나노 분말의 연소 특성과 동일하였으나, 50~70기압 범위에서는 급격한 연소속도 증가 현상이 관찰되었다. 당량비에 따른 실험에서는 산화제 과잉(eq=1.5) 조건에서는 50기압 이상에서는 연소가 진행되지 않았다.

Dispersant was used to avoid the agglomeration of aluminum hydrate precipitate and improve the sinterability of calcined alumina powder. The mean particle size of the aluminum hydrate precipitates was 0.26${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 0.44${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ when ball-milled with and without dispersant, respectively. After calcination at 110$0^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours, the size of the alumina powder without dispersant increased to 0.84${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, while with dispersant slightly decreased to 0.22${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The most thermally active alumina powder was obtained from the sample calcined at 110$0^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours with the 1% dispersant concentration. Using the calcined alumina powder at the above optimized condition, the specimen showed fired density of 3.94g/㎤, 4-point MOR of 364MPa, and KIC of 3.26MPam1/2 after sintered at 155$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours.

In this study, micro-sized and nano-sized pure aluminum (Al) powders were compressed by unidirectional pressure at room temperature. Although neither type of Al bulk was heated, they had a high relative density and improved mechanical properties. The microstructural analysis showed a difference in the process of densification according to particle size, and the mechanical properties were measured by the Vickers hardness test and the nano indentation test. The Vickers hardness of micro Al and nano Al fabricated in this study was five to eight times that of ordinary Al. The grain refinement effect was considered to be one of the strengthening factors, and the Hall-Petch equation was introduced to analyze the improved hardness caused by grain size reduction. In addition, the effect of particle size and dispersion of aluminum oxide in the bulk were additionally considered. Based on these results, the present study facilitates the examination of the effect of particle size on the mechanical properties of compacted bulk fabricated by the powder metallurgy method and suggests the possible way to improve the mechanical properties of nano-crystalline powders.

In this paper, process of dynamic powder compaction is investigated experimentally using impact of drop hammer and die tube. A series of test is performed using aluminum powder with different grain size. The energy of compaction of powder is determined by measuring height of hammer and the results presented in term of compact density and rupture stress. This paper also presents a mathematical modeling using experimental data and neural network. The purpose of this modeling is to display how the variations of the significant parameters changes with the compact density and rupture stress. The closed-form obtained model shows very good agreement with experimental results and it provides a way of studying and understanding the mechanics of dynamic powder compaction process. In the considered energy level (from 733 to 3580 J), the relative density is varied from 63.89% to 87.41%, 63.93% to 91.52%, 64.15% to 95.11% for powder A, B and C respectively. Also, the maximum rupture stress are obtained for different types of powder and the results shown that the rupture stress increases with increasing energy level and grain size.

An experimental study on the combustion of superfine aluminum powders (average particle diameter, a$_{s}$: ∼0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) in air is reported. The formation of aluminum nitride during the combustion of aluminum in air and the influence of the combustion scenario on the structures and compositions of the final products are in the focus of this study. The experiments were conducted in an air (pressure: 1 atm). Superfine aluminum powders were produced by the wire electrical explosion method. Such superfine aluminum powder is stable in air but once ignited it can burn in a self-sustaining way due to its low bulk: density (∼0.1 g/㎤) and a low thermal conductivity. During combustion, the temperature and radiation were measured and the actual burning process was recorded by a video camera. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and chemical analysis were performed on the both initial powders and final products. It was found that the powders, ignited by local heating, burned in a two-stage self-propagating regime. The products of the first stage consisted of unreacted aluminum (-70 mass %) and amorphous oxides with traces of AlN. After the second stage the AlN content exceeded 50 mass % and the residual Al content decreased to ∼10 mass %. A qualitative discussion is given on the kinetic limitation for AlN oxidation due to rapid condensation and encapsulation of gaseous AlN.N.

A powder in sheath rolling method was applied to the fabrication of a carbon nano tube (CNT) reinforced aluminum composite. A 6061 aluminum alloy tube with outer diameter of 31 mm and wall thickness of 2 mm was used as a sheath material. A mixture of pure aluminum powder and CNTs with a volume content of 5% was filled in the tube by tap filling and then processed to an 85% reduction using multi-pass rolling after heating for 0.5 h at $400^{\circ}C$. The specimen was then further processed at $400^{\circ}C$ by multi-pass hot rolling. The specimen was then annealed for 1 h at various temperatures that ranged from 100 to $500^{\circ}C$. The relative density of the 5vol%CNT/Al composite fabricated using powder in sheath rolling increased with increasing of the rolling reduction, becoming about 97% after hot rolling under 96 % total reduction. The relative density of the composite hardly changed regardless of the increasing of the annealing temperature. The average hardness also had only slight dependence on the annealing temperature. However, the tensile strength of the composite containing the 6061 aluminum sheath decreased and the fracture elongation increased with increasing of the annealing temperature. It is concluded that the powder in sheath rolling method is an effective process for fabrication of CNT reinforced Al matrix composites.

평균입경이 22.1$\mu$m인 알루미늄 분말을 사용하여 무가압 분말 충전 성형법으로 52%의 상대밀도를 갖는 성형체를 제조하였다. 산화반응의 활성화 에너지는 TG의 무게 변화로부터 구하였으며, 16~64kJ/mol 범위의 값을 나타내었다. 활성화에너지의 변화와 미세구조의 관찰로부터 산화반응이 산화막의 파괴와 용출에 의존함을 확인하였다. 알루미늄 성형체를 1000~140$0^{\circ}C$에서 4~60시간동안 산화반응시켰을 때, 알루미늄의 산화반응이 시간보다 온도에 의존하였다. 140$0^{\circ}C$에서 60시간동안 산화반응시킨 시편의 산화율은 92%를 나타내었으며, 이 시편을 다시 1$600^{\circ}C$에서 15시간 소결시켰을 때, 소결체는 62%의 상대밀도를 나타내었다.

수소 토치 점화 시스템은 순수한 알루미늄을 이용하여 점화가 가능하고 점화 방법이 간단해 알루미늄 연소 시스템으로 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 수소 토치 점화 시스템은 수소 공급을 위해 고압의 수소탱크가 필요해 무게가 무거워지는 단점이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 고체 화학수소화물인 $NaBH_4$를 이용한 수소 점화 시스템을 설계하였다. $NaBH_4$는 약 $500^{\circ}C$에서 열분해가 시작되고 수소가 발생한다. $NaBH_4$ 열분해 특성에 영향을 미치는 변인들을 분석하고, $NaBH_4$ 기반 수소 점화 시스템을 이용해 알루미늄 연소 실험을 수행하여 실제 시스템 적용 가능성에 대해 검증 하였다.
