To fabricate the 5182 aluminum-polymer sandwich panels, the strength of 5182 aluminum panels, which are the skin sheets that constitutes the sandwich composite panels, is changed according to the degree of heat treatment after rolling, and the characteristics of sandwich panel are also changed. In addition, in the stress-strain curves of the sandwich panel, the serration behavior observed in the 5182 aluminum alloy sheet is also observed. This serration behavior causes surface roughness during sheet forming, which is a serious problem in application to automotive body sheet. In this study, the tensile properties of the 5182 aluminum sandwich panels at room and elevated temperature were carefully investigated by tensile test. It can be found that when the aluminum surface sheets having insufficient heat treatment time is applied, the serration behavior does not completely disappear from the temperature of the room temperature to 160℃.

Tensile tests and creep tests were carried out at high temperatures on an Al-Al4C3 alloy prepared by mechanical alloying technique. The material contains about 2.0 % carbon and 0.9 % oxygen in mass percent, and the volume fractions of Al4C3 and Al2O3 particles are estimated at 7.4 and 1.4 %, respectively, from the chemical composition. Minimum creep rate decreased steeply near two critical stresses, σcl (the lower critical stress) and σcu (the upper critical stress), with decreasing applied stress at temperatures below 723 K. Instantaneous plastic strain was observed in creep tests above a critical stress, σci, at each test temperature. σcu and σci were fairly close to the 0.2% proof stress obtained by tensile tests at each test temperature. It is thought that σcl and σcu correspond to the microscopic yield stress and the macroscopic yield stress, respectively. The lower critical stress corresponds to the local yield stress needed for dislocations to move in the soft region within subgrains. The creep strain in the low stress range below 723 K arises mainly from the local deformation of the soft region. The upper critical stress is equivalent to the macroscopic yield stress necessary for dislocations within subgrains or in subboundaries; this stress can extensively move beyond subboundaries under a stress above the critical point to yield a macroscopic deformation. At higher temperatures above 773 K, the influence of the diffusional creep increases and the stress exponent of the creep rate decreases.

본 논문에서는 세 종류의 ETFE 막재에 대한 단축인장실험을 수행하였다. 이 실험에서 얻은 변형도-변위 곡선을 분석함으로써 항복응력, 두 번째 항복응력, 탄성계수, 두 번째 탄성계수, 그리고 세 번째 탄성계수를 얻게 되었다. 아울러, 탄성 단계와 항복 단계, 소성유동 단계에서 각각 ETFE 막재의 사이클 하중시험을 진행하여, 잔여변형률, 응력 이완, 하중 변화(재하/제하) 중 ETFE 막재의 탄성 변화 등을 알아본다. 재료의 크리프시험에서는 25, 40, 60℃의 시험온도와 3, 6, 9MPa의 인장 응력 하에서 크리프시험의 시간은 24시간으로 설정하였다.

is an extremely high alloyed PM material containing about 20 to 35 wt.% titanium based carbides. Such materials are designed to achieve a high wear resistance, but the high volume fraction of hard phases causes a comparable low ductility in case of tensile loading. In the present study the mechanical properties of different Ferro-Titanit grades (variations in chemical composition and in heat treatment) were investigated by means of tensile tests. The mechanical properties and the fracture behaviour will be related to the chemical composition, the heat treatment and the microstructure.
