An interactive computer program to design a mold cavity with the proper rigging system has been developed. In addition to the pattern and the risers generated in part 1 of this work, the various components of the gating system are generated in complete three dimensional models by a rational approach. Then they are laid interactively by the user, and united together with the pattern and the risers to result in the three dimensional model of the mold assembly. Finally, the vents and the mold box are constructed following the user's interactive specification and then the mold cavity is completed in a three dimensional geometric model by subtraction the mold assembly and the vents from the mold box. The three dimensional model of a mold cavity is useful for many related applications such as the solidification simulation for mold evaluation and the NC tool path generation for mold production.

주조방안이란 주형(금형)에 공동부를 어떻게 설계하고 공동부의 어떤 위치에 어떻게 탕도, 탕구 등을 설계할 것인지, 또 over-flow 및 air-vent는 어떻게 설계하여 가스뽑기 및 용탕을 공동부에 원활히 충진시켜 완전한 제품을 얻을 수 있을까에 대한 제반적인 주조방법의 계획이다. 즉, 용탕을 공동부에 충진시키는 시스템이며, 주조상에 발생하는 제문제 및 주조제품의 품질에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요소 중의 하나이다. 따라서 만약 주조방안 시스템이 부적절하여 불량률이 높은 경우에는 대폭적인 금형수정이나 경우에 따라서는 불가피하게 금형을 신작해야 하는 큰 문제도 야기될 수 있다. 또한 기본적인 품질문제로 탕회, 탕경, 크랙 등의 외관불량과 기동 등의 내부결함, 내압불량등도 유발될 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 불량대책으로 쉽게 주조방안을 수정하는 것은 주조 시스템 자체가 변해버리기 때문에 피해야 하며 다른 대책을 선행하여 해결할 수 없었을 때 최종적으로 신중히 검토 후 주조방안을 수정하는 것이 바람직하다. 따라서, 본고에서는 Al합금 다이캐스트 주조기술에 있어 주조품질을 결정하는 중요한 요소인 주조방안의 효과적인 설계를 위한 주조기 선정, 금형분할면 선정, 탕구계의 설계와 탕구선정, over-flow 및 air-vent설계, 수축여유 및 금형냉각방안 선정기술에 대한 기본적 방안을 제시하고 실제 주조방안의 대표적인 사례를 소개하고자 한다.

Objective : The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Injinchunggan-tang on Hepatitis C virus infection, and to clarify the mechanism of treatment by indentifying the effect of Injinchunggan-tang on cytokine secretion. Methods : In vitro model of HCV infection in MOLT 4 cell was used. The effect of Injinchunggan-tang on the attachment of HCV on MOLT 4 cell was studied by PCR method. The change of cytokine secretion according to Injinchunggan-tang treatment was investigated by ELISA. Results : Injinchunggan-tang inhibited the attachment of HCV on MOLT 4 in the concentration of $10-2{\mu\textrm{g}}/\mu\textrm{\ell}$ and $10-1{\mu\textrm{g}}/\mu\textrm{\ell}$. In cytokine assay, Injinchunggan-tang increased the secretion of IL-4 of mouse splenocytes and PBMC in 48 hour culture as well as the secretion of IL-12 of mouse splenocytes and PBMC in 48 hour culture, whereas it decreased the secretion of $IFN-{\gamma}$ of mouse splenocytes in 24 and 48 hour culture. Conclusion : The results of this study show that Injinchunggan-tang has an inhibitory effect on the attachment on HCV on Mo1t4 Cell, and that it increases the secretion of IL-4 and IL-12 of mouse splenocyte and PBMC.

Casting defects, which are closely related to entrapped air bubbles and metallic oxides, occur very frequently in the casting process. Many researchers have shown that these defects can be reduced by adopting an appropriate gating system design. But, it is difficult for field engineers to identify a specific gating system that is more appropriate for their products. In this study, we tried to draw a comparison of gating system designs with and without ceramic foam filters. A ceramic foam filter was added to the horizontal runner just after the sprue to prevent air bubble generation and to reduce turbulence without change of the gating system design. To verify the effects of initial pouring velocity, the experiment was conducted with four different amounts of water volume in the reservoir. Results of the water modeling experiment applying the filter showed remarkably changed flow characteristics. Although the study confirmed that use of the filter may change the flow characteristics, it needs to be noted that only filter use alone cannot solve all the problems caused by a poorly designed gating system.

Casting defects produced during the casting process seriously affect the mechanical properties of the resulting products, reduce the performance capabilities of the product, and also result in economic losses. Therefore, this paper mainly investigates the causes of defects and methods by which to reduce these defects stemming from molten metal flows in a runner system of the type widely used in the sand mold casting process. The flow characteristics of a molten alloy are difficult to observe during the actual casting process. For this reason, a water model was used to observe the flow in the casting process, and the flow in each case was recorded using high-speed cameras as part of the experimental process of this study. Several repetitive experiments were performed to improve the accuracy of the experimental results. The traditional casting system was modified according to the design rules proposed by Campbell, and the system was termed flow-adaptive gating system with a water model. Comparing the flow characteristics of traditional and adaptive gating systems with a water model shows that the bubbles in the water in the latter case are reduced more significantly than in the former case. A ceramic filter system was adapted to the flow-adaptive gating system to minimize the instability of the flow during filling, which occurs as the fluid velocity in the runner increases. In additional, the flow behavior with and without the filter system were compared. The water model system in this work was shown to be able to verify that the adaptation of the filter system brings improvements by stabilizing the flow and reducing the amount of bubbles in the runner system. Moreover, using the flow-adaptive runner system with the filter system leads to considerably stable flows in the runner system.
