This paper was studied on the horizontal continuous casting of Al-xSi(x=10~15%) aluminum alloy. The experiments of the horizontal continuous casting was carried out by the horizontal continuous casting machine for various casting conditions and investigated on fracture types and mechanisms. Surface defect types for the horizontal continuous casting is also investigated. And the study was carried out that the horizontal continuous casting conditions such as casting temperature, cooling rate, and drawing speed affect the hardness and primary silicon size of Al-xSi(x=10~15%) aluminum rod bar. Casting temperature within this experiment conditions don't affect on the hardness of rod bar but the higher casting temperature is the smaller primary silicon size. The higher cooling rate and drawing speed have the higher hardness and the smaller primary silicon size.

The effects of applied pressure, superheat and silicon content on the fluidity of Al-Si alloy during squeeze casting were investigated. The Fluidity of Al-7.0wt%Si alloy during squeeze casting was increased with applied pressure up to 60 MPa, meanwhile it rather decreased beyond that. Therefore, the optimum squeeze casting pressure was 60 MPa. The fluidity was increased with superheat up to $150^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, it rather decreased at the superheat of $200^{\circ}C$. The fluidity of Al-Si alloy during squeeze casting was decreased with silicon content in the range of $0.0{\sim}3.0\;wt%$, increased in the range of $3.0{\sim}13.0\;wt%$. The fluidity of Al-15.0 wt%Si alloy was lower than that of Al-13.0 wt%Si alloy.

Microstructural and mechanical characteristics of Al-6Si-2Cu alloy for engine mount bracket prepared by gravity casting (as-cast) and die-casting (as-diecast) process have been investigated. For the microstructural characterization, the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) analyses are conducted. For the intermetallic phases, the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) are also conducted with quantitative and qualitative analysis. Micro Vickers hardness and static tensile test are achieved in order to measure mechanical properties of alloys. Secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) of as-cast and as-diecast show 37um and 18um, respectively. A large amount of coarsen eutectic Si, $Al_2Cu$ intermetallic phase and Fe-rich phases are identified in the Al-6Si-2Cu alloy. Mechanical properties of gravity casting alloy are much higher than those of die-casting alloy. Especially, yield strength and elongation of gravity casting alloy show 2 times higher than die-casting alloy. After shot peening, shot peening refined the surface grains and Si particles of the alloys by plastic deformation. The surface hardness value shows that shot peening alloy has higher value than unpeening alloy.

The purpose of this study is to evalute the effects of melting and casting procedures on the castability of some N-Cr and Ag-Pd alloys. One Ag-Pd alloy and two Ni-Cr alloys were chosen for study, and the first casting group of these alloys were used as the control, and with which the castability of the first recase group and the mixture group of the first recast and as much amount of the first casting alloy was compared. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The castability of the first recast alloys veried significantly depending upon the presence or abscence of the first casting alloy and the kind of alloys. 2. When the first recast alloy was mixed with as much amount of the first casting alloy, there was no significant difference in castabilityh between the first recast group and the first casting group. 3. When the first recast alloy was used alone, the castability veried significantly depending upon the kind of alloys, i.e., the castability of Rexillium III and Palliag M was decreased significantly when compared with that of the first casting groups, while that of C & B Alloy was not.

Corrosion behaviors of TiN coated dental casting alloys have been researched by using various electrochemical methods. Three casting alloys (Alloy 1: 63Co-27Cr-5.5Mo, Alloy 2: 63Ni-16Cr-5Mo, Alloy 3: 63Co-30Cr-5Mo) were prepared for fabricating partial denture frameworks with various casting methods; centrifugal casting(CF), high frequency induction casting(HFI) and vacuum pressure casting(VP). The specimens were coated with TiN film by RF-magnetron sputtering method. The corrosion behaviors were investigated using potentiostat (EG&G Co, 263A. USA) in 0.9% NaCl solution at $36.5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The corrosion morphologies were analyzed using FE-SEM and EDX. Alloy 1 and Alloy 2 showed the ${\alpha}-Co$ and ${\varepsilon}-Co$ phase on the matrix, and it was disappeared in case of TiN coated Alloy 1 and 2. In the Alloy 3, $Ni_2Cr$ second phases were appeared at matrix. Corrosion potentials of TiN coated alloy were higher than that of non-coated alloy, but current density at passive region of TiN coated alloy was lower than that of non-coated alloy. Pitting corrosion resistances were increased in the order of centrifugal casting, high frequency induction casting and vacuum pressure casting method from cyclic potentiodynamic polarization test.
