  • The purpose of this study is to develop a high-strength, high-toughness, thin-walled aluminum shock absorber housing product by applying a high vacuum die casting method to improve internal gas defect and formability. The analysis program dedicated for the casting was used because it was too costly and time-consuming to adopt the gating system design. The final casting plan was designed based on the flow pattern of the material filled into the mold and the result of air pressure and air pocket after the material was completely filled in the mold. Gaty shape was designed as a split type. The runner was designed to have the same shape as the initial inlet curve of the cavity, and the flow of the molten metal was prevented from turbulent flow. The most favorable results were obtained when the injection speed was $V_2=4.0m/s$. Defects on pores were reduced by applying high vacuum level inside the mold.

  • In this study, casting/forging process was used to produce an aluminum lower control arm for automobiles. Firstly, casting experiments were carried out to get an enhanced preform for forging the lower control arm. In the casting experiment, the effect of an additive, Sr, on the mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation and the microstructure of a cast preform were investigated. And a finite element analysis was peformed to determine an optimal configuration of the cast preform. Lastly, a forging experiment was carried out to make the final product of aluminum lower control arm by using the above cast preform. In the casting experiments, when 0.025% Sr was added into molten A356, the maximum values of tensile strength and elongation of the cast preform were obtained. In the forging experiment, It was confirmed that the optimal configuration of a cast preform predicted by FE analysis was very useful. The cast/forged product using designed preform was made without any defects.

  • Valve-housing parts in car steering system is a part of steering system and then take charge of the main functions for car steering system to reduce driver's handling-force. Recently it is still not developed reliable casting for many cars, so it produce as a Gravity casting which is more than triple for producing cost in Korea. In this research, we had conducted that 350t aluminum die casting is superior to mechanical property from established over 500t or not for Valve-housing, a parts of steering system which were produced as a cast-iron product and the most suitable conditions to extruding as die casting.

  • Aluminum matrix composites reinforced with SiC particles(AMC) are one of the candidate materials for the weight reduction of rolling stock brake discs. It is known that weight reduction of about 40% is possible when they replace conventional cast iron brake discs. But casting is not easy because of bad wettability of SiC with Al alloy. We developed two AMC brake discs with SiC volume fraction of 20% by a new casting method. It was found the developed method produced brake discs of good quality.

  • The superplastic behavior of whisker reinforced aluminum alloy matrix composites fabricated by squeeze casting as one of high pressure routes was investigated. The preforms of ${\alpha}-Si_3N_4$ and ${\beta}-SiC$ whiskers without any binder as a reinforcement were used. The matrix materials were 2024 and 7075 aluminum alloys. For the purpose of optimum superplastic condition, respectively, the whiskers volume fraction, extrusion temperature, tensile test temperature and initial strain rate were changed. Fracture surface of tested specimens were observed by SEM. By the results, it became possible to produce superplastic composites by applying only a hot extrusion process to composites obtained by the squeeze casting. The superplastic composites developed are ${\alpha}-Si_3N_4w/7075$, ${\alpha}-Si_3N_4w/2024$ and ${\beta}-SiCw/2024$ systems at high strain rate.

  • In case of sense case manufactured by method of outage capacity, sensitivity is declined by outside effect and method of the photo electricity has a problem in transmission. therefore, packing case of composite sense should be developed to improve such a problem about influence of outside environment and its property evaluation has been performed. Mechanical property and result of analysis & test evaluation of Mat'l on aluminum die-casting(ADC 12type) Mat'l developed are as following. Tensile test piece, No. 4 of KS B 0801, has been applied to mechanical property test of Mat'l and It has been tested by method of metal mat'l tensile test(KS B 0802 : 2003). It can be found that physical property to KS(Korea Standard) is excellent. and homogeneous mechanical property appears. Test of Mat'l analysis has been performed by using OE Spectrometer, according to ASTM E 1251 : 1994 regulation. Consequently, good and homogeneous component contents classified by element to standard, except for Fe, have been obtained with coordination of Fe content as below 1.3% from composition standard of Aluminum Die-casting.

  • In order to develop an aluminum alloy, that can combine high thermal conductivity and good castability and anodizability, aluminum alloys with low Si content, such as Al-(0.5~1.5)Mg-1Fe-0.5Si and Al-(1.0~1.5)Si-1Fe-1Zn, were designed. The developed aluminum alloys exhibited 170~190% thermal conductivity (160~180 W/mK), 60~85% fluidity, and equal or higher ultimate tensile strength compared with those of the ADC12 alloy. In each developed alloy system, the thermal conductivity decreased and the strength increased with the increment of Mg and Si, which are the significant alloying elements. The fluidity was in reverse proportion to the Mg content and in proportion to the Si content. The Al-(0.5~1.5)Mg-1Fe-0.5Si alloys exhibited better fluidity in thick-wall castings, while the Al-(1.0~1.5)Si-1Fe-1Zn alloys were better in thin-wall castability due to their lower surface energies. The fluidity behavior was complexly affected by the heat release for the solidification, viscosity, solidification range, and the type, quantity, and formation juncture of the main secondary phase.

  • 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.
