기계가공으로 인한 사고는 작업자에게 치명적인 경우가 많다. 이러한 사고는 완벽한 가공지그을 통해 대부분 예방이 가능하지만 제품설계초기 후가공과 양산 공정은 고려되지 않고 설계되어 기계가공 시 재해로 연결되는 경우가 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 사형주조법은 수작업으로 손쉽게 제품을 생산하는 장점을 가지는 반면 치수오차가 다른 양산공정 보다 크다는 단점을 가진다. 이런 사형 주조품을 기계 가공할 때 제품의 치수편차로 인해 불안전한 고정및 과다한 절삭, 제품이탈, 공구파손, 장비와 공구의 빠른 수명감소 등의 다양한 문제가 발생 하지만 사형주조의 특성상 개선하기 어려운 문제로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원형의 용기형태의 제품을 사형주조 후 기계가공 하는 것을 금형으로 대체하기 위한 셸몰드법을 제시하고 셸몰드로 만든 셸주형으로 주조함으로서 표면조도 평균 $Ra9.94{\mu}m$의 기계가공에 준하는 표면을 구현하였다. 외형의 정밀한 제품을 대량 생산하여 가공공정의 간소화 및 평균 두께 편차를 줄임으로서 제품파손 및 제작 시 발생할 수 있는 안전사고예방에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 기계가공전 제품의 치수정밀도를 높여 안전성, 생산성향상, 가공 공정단축, 환경개선 등을 이 가능함을 확인하였다.

In the sand casting process, the flow of liquid metal affects the quality of casting products and their die life. To determine the optimal bush part design process, this study performed various analyses using commercial finite element analysis S/W. The simulation focused on the molten metal behaviors during the mold filling and solidification stages of sand casting. This study aims to develop methods to reduce the cost and increase the tool life of the continuous hot zinc plating roll.

During sand casting, the binders produces gases in cores because high temperature molten metals dissolve the binders into gases and causes gas defects in the casting products. In the present study, quantitative analysis of inorganic binder gas generation was performed using Thermo Gravimetry (TG) and Mass Spectrometer (MS) analyses. The specimen was prepared using organic binders in liquid and solid state, and a mixture of sand and binders. Moisture loss by catalysts was calculated by TG results from liquid and solid binder specimens; it was found that components of gases were different. Quantitative analysis was discussed for generated gases with individual gas component results obtained using TG and MS. It is expected that gas generation can be predicted in the casting simulation using the technique proposed in the present study.

A two dimensional analysis of the solidification phenomena has been simulated by IAD (Implicit Alternating Direction)method for L-shaped castings with external chills. The effect of chills has been studied with the variation of chill size, shape, and their materials, and also with the variation of the pouring temperature. Three kinds of cross-sectional shapes of chills such as triangle, square, and L-shape were chosen, and graphite, cast iron, and copper for their materials. It has been shown by the computation that the hot spot at the junction of L-shaped castings can not be removed by external chills, and that the distance between the inner corner and the hot spot on the line of symmetry, as well as the solidification time of castings depend only on VHC (Volumetric Heat Capacity).

In the present study, in order to prevent the misrun defects that occur during traditional brass casting, a method for selecting the proper casting process conditions is proposed. A learning model was developed and demonstrated to be able to learn the presence or absence of defects according to the casting process conditions and to predict the occurrence of defects depending on the certain process given. Appropriate process conditions were determined by applying the proposed method, and the determined conditions were verified through a comparison of different simulation results with additional conditions. With this method, it is possible to determine the casting process conditions that will prevent defects in the desired sand model. This technology is expected to contribute to realization of smart traditional brass farming workshops.

The present paper investigates the effect of hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) on mechanical properties, e.g., tensile strength, ductility and impact absorption energy of sand and die casted aluminum alloys. After HIPing at various temperatures and pressure conditions, uniaxial tensile test and Izod impact test of the samples were carried out. The experimental results showed improvements in uniaxial tensile strength, elongation and Izod impact toughness of sand casted aluminum alloy, while deterioration of a tensile strength fur die casted aluminum alloy. The effect of HIPing for microstructure of the cast aluminum alloy was also investigated.

In this study, we focused on the correlation between the solidification structure, heat treatment and mechanical properties of the A356 alloy according to the conditions of Sr modification. The microstructural evolution of the eutectic Si and ${\alpha}-Al$ phase in the A356 alloy castings depending on the amount of Sr were investigated during solid solution heat treatment using an optical microscope, a scanning electron microscope and an image analyzer. In addition, tensile tests on the heat treated materials examined the relationship between the microstructure and the fracture surface. The as-cast A356 alloys under 40 ppm Sr showed an undermodified microstructure, but that of the added 60-80 ppm Sr had well modified structure of fine fibrous silicon. After solid solution treatment, the microstructure of the undermodified A356 alloy exhibited a partially spheroidized morphology, but the remainder showed the fragmentation of fibrous shaped silicon. The spheroidization of the eutectic silicon in the modified A356 alloys was completed during heat treatment, which was very effective in increasing the elongation. This is supported by the fracture surface in the tensile test.
