This paper describes the investment casting of TiAl alloys. The effects of mold material and mold preheating temperature for the investment casting of TiAl on metal-mold interfacial reaction were investigated by means of optical micrography, hardness profiles and an electron probe microanalyzer. The mold materials examined were colloidal silica bonded ZrO₂, ZrSiO₄, A1₂O₃and CaO stabilized ZrO₂. When compared with conventional titanium a1loy, the high aluminum concentration of TiAl alloys helps to lower their reactivity in the molten state. The A1₂O₃mold is a promising mold material for the investment casting of TiAl in terms of the thermal stability, formability and cost. Special attention need to be paid to thermal stability and mold preheating when developing the investment calling of TiAl alloys.

The main objectives were to investigate the suitability of CaO crucible for melting TiAl alloys and to develop investment mold for investment casting of TiAl alloys. TiAl alloy specimen were prepared by plasma arc furnace under argon atmosphere. After melting of TiAl alloy using CaO crucible, the results showed that there is little contamination of oxygen in the TiAl bulk. Conventional vacuum induction furnaces can be readily adaptable to produce cast parts of TiAl without high skilled techniques. The determination of optical metallography and microhardness profiles in investment cast TiAl alloy rods has allowed the gradation of the relative thermal stability of the oxides examined. The molds used for the present study were $ZrO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, CaO stabilized $ZrO_2$ and $ZrSiO_4$. Even although high temperature of mold preheating, $Al_2O_3$ mold is a promising mold material for investment casting of TiAl alloys in terms of thermal stability, cost and handling strength. It is important to take thermal stability and preheating temperature of mold into consideration for investment casting of TiAl alloys.

This study has been carried out to examine into wettability of Cu-5%Sn alloy in $Al_2O_3$, MgO, $SiO_2$ and graphite, respectively and investigated into the change in macrostructure of Cu-5%Sn alloy according to kind and mixing rate of mold-coating. The results obtained from the experiment are summerized as follows; 1. Cu Cu-5%Sn alloy, wettabilities of $Al_2O_3$ and MgO were good, on the other hand, wettabilities of $SiO_2$ and graphite were bad. 2. The fine equiaxed zone was created because of the role of $Al_2O_3$ and MgO as preferential nucleation sites. 3. Notwithstanding change of mixing rate of $SiO_2$ in mold coating the equixed zone was not created. 4. The area of equiaxed zone was varied according to mixing rate in the case of using $Al_2O_3$ and MgO in mold-coating.

The newly developed ${\alpha}-case$ controlled mold material for Ti investment castings was suggested in this research. The $Al_2O_3$ mold containing interstitial $TiO_2$ and substitutional $Ti_3Al$ was manufactured by the reaction between $Al_2O_3$ and Ti. It is obvious that as the $TiO_2$ and $Ti_3Al$ content in the mold surface were increased, the depth of the interfacial reaction was significantly reduced. In addition, substitutional $Ti_5Si_3$ in the mold surface owing to the reaction between Ti and $SiO_2$ from the binder was effective for ${\alpha}-case$ reduction. Therefore, the ${\alpha}-case$ reduction was accomplished by the diffusion barrier effect of interstitial $TiO_2$, substitutional $Ti_3Al$ and $Ti_5Si_3$.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of process parameter on alpha-case formation of Ti and TiAl castings. The previous studies showed that the molten titanium is excessively reactive to the refractory oxide mold, resulting in alpha-caes of the titanium castings regardless of composition of titanium alloys. However, the behavior of the alpha-case formation of TiAl alloy is not consistent with conventional titanium alloy. In order to investigate the alpha-case formation of Ti and TiAl castings with process parameter, especially the associated factors of investment mold such as mold material, binder and mold preheating temperature. An attempt has been made to characterize the alpha-case of titanium casting by using optical microscope, EDS, XRD, EMPA and hardness profiles. The formation of the alpha-case on the surface of pure titanium during investment casting was rather by that of solid solution with metallic element from mold material. The required mold strength was obtained with $CaZrO_3$ because of the possibility of using water soluble binder. However, the separation phenomenon between facing and back-up mold materials should be considered. The interfacial reaction of TiAl alloy showed different behavior from that of pure titanium and $Al_2O_3$ was best mold materials. The effect of binder as well as mold material on the formation of alpha-case was significant.

석고몰드의 단점을 극복할 수 있는 다공질 알루미나 몰드의 제조저건을 확립하였다. 다공질 알루미나 몰드의 제조를 위해 활성탄의 질량비에 따라 조성비를 달리하여 첨가한 후, ESA와 유동특성 등을 조하삼으로써 안정된 이상 슬러리를 제조하였으며, 이를 석고몰드에 캐스팅하여 얻은 원통형 알루미나 몰드를 사용하여 활성탄의 양과 소결온도에 따른 수축율 변화와 마모에 대한 저항성을 측정하였다. 다공질 알루미나 몰드의 소결에서는 비수축 소결구인 표면확산에 의해 입자간 넥 강도의 증진을 통한 몰드의 강도 증진을 도모하는 것이 바람직하며, 이를 위해 1,00$0^{\circ}C$이하에서 유지시간의 변화에 따른 열역학적 방법, 1,00$0^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서 알루미나의 수축을 억제하면서 빠른 승온속도를 열처리온도에 따른 동역학적 방법과 이 두가지 방법을 혼합하는 방법 등으로 구분하여 다동질 알루미나 몰드의 소결조건을 분석하였다. 위 방법들에 대한 다공질 알루미나 몰드의 캐스팅 특성을 분석한 결과, 복합 소결법이 최적임을 알수 있었다. 제조된 다공질 알루미나 몰드의 비교적 높은 강도를 보였으며, 석고몰드레 비해 빠른 건조시간, 산, 염기에 대한 내식성 및 캐스팅 특성이 우수하였다.

In this study, three magnesium alloys were investigated; those are 1.5wt.% CaO added AM80, 1.0wt.% CaO added AM60, and conventional MRI153 alloys. Test specimens of three alloys were prepared by re-melting and casting into steel mold with ingots and machining. The mechanical properties and the creep behavior at 150 degrees Celsius of these specimens were determined and their microstructures were characterized using OM and SEM. For the application to die-casting, fluidity test were carried out with spiral mold. Compared with 1.0wt.% CaO added AM60 alloy, 1.5wt.% CaO added AM80 alloy exhibited good creep properties in all test conditions. Moreover, CaO added alloys showed better creep properties than MRI153 alloy at lower load condition. It is proposed that 1.5wt.% CaO added AM80 alloy is useful to apply to power-train parts such as transmission case in vehicles.

경주 동천동 출토 토제범(土製范)에 대한 실측복원도, 조성광물 분석, 입도 및 물성시험, 미세조직관찰, 색도차 및 주성분 분석결과를 알아보았다. 연구대상 내범과 외범의 단면은 내측(제1층위)과 외측(제2층위)으로 구분되고 외측에는 유기물이 혼합되어 있다. 단면에는 열적 경험과 탈형제로 인한 변화 양상이 확인되며, X-선 촬영에서는 내측인 제1층위가 투과율이 높은 광물로 구성되었고 편광현미경에서 석영만이 관찰되었다. SEM 관찰에서 단면의 내측은 공극이 확대된 양상을 나타내고 중앙은 균열이 발달하였으며 외측에서는 변화를 관찰할 수 없었다. 구성입자의 입도는 내범과 외범이 거의 유사하며 미사질식양토로 구분되고, 미사질과 점토의 구성비는 약 2.7 : 1과 약 2.9 : 1이었다. 물성시험에서 내범과 외범의 밀도와 흡수율은 유사하고 공극률만이 내범이 27.36%와 외범은 31.09%로 다소 차이가 있었다. 단면의 색도차는 제1층위의 표면에 탈형을 위해 그을음을 입히거나 제1층위를 먹물로 수비하였을 가능성이 있다. 조성광물 분석에서는 내범과 외범의 조성광물이 동일하나 내범에서만 자철석이 동정되었다. 주성분 분석에서는 $SiO_2$의 평균함량이 71.64%, $Al_2O_3$는 14.59%이고, 부성분 중 $Fe_2O_3$는 4.51%, $K_2O$는 3.06%이며, $Na_2O$, MgO, CaO, $TiO_2$, $P_2O_5$, MnO는 2% 이하를 나타내었다.
