주철의 중력금형주조에서 반복작업에 따른 응고과정의 변화를 3차원의 수치해석적 방법에 의하여 컴퓨터해석을 하였다. 수치해석적 방법으로는 차분법을 채택하였다. 반복작업과정에 따라 변화되어지는 주물의 응고시간과 미세조직, 기계적성질과의 관계가 조사 되어졌다. 컴퓨터에 의해 계산된 각싸이클의 냉각속도로 부터 주물의 공정셀의 수, 경도, 인장강도등의 변화를 예측하였으며 또한 반복싸이클에 따른 금형 및 주물의 온도분포와 최종응고부위등을 예측하였고 이들은 실제주조시험에서 얻어진 결과와 비교적 잘일치하였다. 중력금형주조에서 회주철의 응고시간, 공정셀, 기계적성질 및 응고속도에 미치는 냉각수의 영향이 또한 컴퓨터해석에 의하여 잘예측되었으며 컴퓨터해석에 의한 냉각수 라인의 적절한 설계에 의하여 주물의 미세조직 및 기계적성질과 결함발생 가능위치를 효과적으로 제어할수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this study, a three-dimensional gravity casting problem has been examined to investigate a coupled phenomenon of the filling and solidification process. This work simultaneously considers the two key phenomena of metal casting : the fluid flow during mold filling, and solidification process. The VOF method is used to analyze the free surface flow during filling and the equivalent specific heat method is employed to model the latent heat release during solidification. The time-implicit filling algorithm is applied to save the computational time for analyzing the mold filling process. The three-dimensional benchmark problem used in the MCWASP VII has been solved using both the implicit and explicit algorithm, and the present results are compared with the benchmark experimental results and the other numerical results.

Squeeze casting process has been used in the field of a commercial manufacturing method, in which metal is enforcedly solidified under pressure enough to prevent the cast defects such as either gas porosity or shrinkage defect. In this paper, to clarify the relationship between applied pressures and macro ${\cdot}$ microstructural behaviors in gravity and direct squeeze casts, specimens were cast by various squeezing pressures during solidification of 7000 series Al wrought alloy in the metal die designed specially. The applied pressures used in this study were 0, 25, 50, and 75 MPa. The microstructural morphologies of squeeze cast were more fine and dense with increasing the applied pressures, because of the greater solidification rate of billet resulting from the applied pressure. A normal segregation phenomenon of an increasing in amount of eutectics towards the center of the billet was observed for squeeze casts, whereas gravity cast showed an inverse segregation phenomenon of an increasing in amount of eutectics towards the edge in the billet. This change in segregation pattern which is normal or inverse is due to a higher radial temperature gradient and reduced time in the semi solid state for squeeze casting.

Effects of Si and Ca additions on the mechanical properties of AM60 based Mg alloys have been investigated. Hardness of the AM60 based Mg alloys reached a maximum value after aging for approximately 33 hours but the amount of hardness increase was negligible. The poor age hardening response of the alloys was due to low Al content, which implies that Al content must be >6 wt.% to observe age hardening effect. The tensile and yield strength increased with increasing Al, Si, and Ca content but elongation decreased with increasing Al and Si content. The best mechanical properties obtained in AM 40-2.5Si-0.2Ca alloy after T4 heat treatment were as follows; tensile strength 193.4 MPa, yield strength 79.2 MPa, and elongation 11.2%. High temperature property obtained from creep test was also improved by introducing $Mg_2Si$ which has high hardness, high melting temperature and low thermal expansion coefficient.

Gravity tilt pour casting can effectively guarantee the reduction of various casting defects by controlling the rotation speed and the tilting angle of the mold during tilt pouring. The relationship between casting process parameters and the soundness of castings has been investigated in order to determine the optimum process variables in the gravity tilt pour casting process. In order to evaluate the effect of rotation speed on mold filling patterns, a video camera was employed to visualize the in-situ fluid flow behavior of the molten metal, and the relevant fluid velocity was also estimated. X-ray and mechanical tests were also performed to evaluate the effect of fluid velocity on casting quality. With the rotation speed lower than 0.5 r.p.m., which is nearly corresponding to the critical velocity of stability in the fluid flow, sound castings were obtained without having any casting defects. It can be concluded that the gravity tilt pour casting process is an effective process for manufacturing sound casting products with enhanced physical and mechanical properties.

Recently, the automotive industry has replaced cast iron to lightweight materials like aluminum for engine efficiency of automobiles and an emission control by government. In this paper we studied two auto parts manufacturing methods using an alloy of A356. That is gravity casting and H-NCM Rheo-diecasting forging. We analyzed the microstructure and mechanical properties for this method. In Microstructure analysis results, H-NCM Rheo-diecasting forging has more finer microstrucre and better forging effect. Resulting in better mechanical properties than gravity forging.

Vacuum suction is applied to the mold during pouring in the inclined gravity die casting to remove defects such as misrun and gas porosity in the brake master cylinder. Casting defects are observed after solidification and their cause is analyzed by using the calculated results with commercial solidification and flow analysis code(ZCAST). The optimum vacuum suction is -2 cmHg, and when the start time of vacuum suction is 3 seconds after pouring, better filled result is obtained by holding it for 15 seconds. Reproducibility test under the optimum conditions attained from the above pouring tests is performed, and it is confirmed that these pouring conditions can be applied to the mass production immediately.

Al계 베어링합금은 소착저항력등의 베어링특성이 우수하여 최근에 자동차의 엔진부품에 많이 사용되고 있다. Al계 베어링합금으로는 Al-Sn계, Al-Pb계, Al-Si계 합금이 개발되어 사용되어 왔다. Al-Si계 합금은 높은 강도, 우수한 부식성, 주조성이 향상되는 장점등을 갖고 있다. 또한 Al-Pb계 합금은 Pb가 고체윤활제로 작용하여 소착저항성이 높으며 가격도 저렴한 장점을 갖고 있다. Al과 Pb는 용융상태에서 넓은 용융간극을 갖어 중력편석을 일으키기 때문에 일반적인 주조방법으로 Al계 베어링합금을 제조할 수없다. 또한 Al에 Si이 첨가됨에 따라 높은 경도등의 기계적성질의 향상이 얻어지지만 Al 기지에 Si의 함량이 증가할 수록 편석이 심해져 조대한 Si-rich상이 미세조직에 존재하여 합금이 취약해지는 단점을 갖고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Al 기지에 Pb의 중력편석을 최소화하고 Al 기지에 조대한 Si-rich상이 생성되는 것을 막기 위하여 Al과 Pb가 공존하는 온도구역에서 높은 교반속도로 용탕을 강제교반하여 액상에서 Pb와 Si을 미세하게 분산시킨 후 수냉되는 동주형에서 급속응고시켜 Pb와 Si-rich 상이 균일하게 분포된 Al계 베어링합금을 제조하였다. 본 연구에서는 Pb의 양을 0%에서 35%까지 변화시켰으며, Si의 양을 0%에서 20%까지 변화시켜서 베어링합금을 제조하였으며, 강제교반속도는 500rpm에서 2500rpm 까지 변화시켜 베어링합금을 제조하였다.
