  • A rheology casting technology has some advantages compared with conventional forming processes such as die casting, squeeze casting and hot/cold forming. The liquid segregation is important on mechanical properties of materials using rheology casting. In this study, so, molecular dynamics simulations were performed for the control of liquid segregation. Because the dynamics of fluid flow about nano-scaled materials is completely different from continuum, molecular dynamics simulations were used. The behavior of particles was far from the truth according to boundary conditions in simple flow. But various movement of particles appear at two or more molecular simulations.

  • This study deals about the development of fusible core with low melting temperature by addition of ceramic particles. A new concept of salt core was introduced to produce an integrated casting part having a complicated inner shape or requiring under-cut in high pressure die casting or squeeze casting process. The mechanical properties of fusible core were improved due to the addition of ceramic particles which helped to produce fine microstructure. The new technology for the preparation of new fusible core materials which possess high compression strength was established. Addition of ceramics particles increased the mechanical properties of fusible core materials. There was an increasing relationship between percentage of ceramic particles and mechanical strength was existed up to 60%.

  • As an optimal quality of the restorations, there should be a least amount of seating discrepancy between the casting and abutment teeth. However, high viscosity of the cementing medium and its resulting thickness may prevent complete seating of the restoration. The use of die spacing material provides adequate internal relief for the cementing medium. The purpose of this study is to compare the thickness of three commonly used die spacing materials. Materials and Methods: Stone plates were fabricated and divided into 12 sections to be painted with die spacers. Tru-Fit, Whip-Mix and Belle do St. Claire die spacer which are commonly used in dental practice were tested in this study. Each die spacers were painted layer by layer according to the manufacturer's recommendation. The average thickness of each die spacers were measured with light microscope(${\times}100$) and compared between them. Results and Conclusions. A silver-colored Tru-Fit die spacer has the lowest value of thickness without statistical significance comparing with a gold-colored Tru-Fit die spacer and a gray layer of Whip-Mix die spacer has the highest value of thickness without any statistical significance comparing with Belle de St. Claire die spacer. Three and four layers of Tru-Fit die spacer and two layers of Whip-Mix and Belle de St. Claire die spacers seem to be in the acceptable range of thickness of 25 to $45{\mu}m$ for optimal seating of the restorations. The standard experimental design and method should be fur thor evaluated for more consistent and objective results.

  • The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of process conditions on the microstructual changes and mechanical properties of large 7175 aluminum die forgings. The cast billets of 370 and 720 mm in diameter were homogenized and die forged after direct chill casting. The size and volume fraction of second phase particles in 720 mm billet were larger than those of 370 mm billet. The interdendritic sites containing the second phase particles was considered to be a crack initiation region in the process of cold upsetting. The tensile and yield strength of die forged specimens of 720 mm billet in the direction of Land L T were higher than those of 370 mm billet. However, the tensile strength of these specimens were 5 to 10% lower than that of American military specification. The plane strain fracture toughness of die forged specimens of 370 mm cast billet showed almost the same level of 720 mm billet, which was die forged after free forging.

  • Wear test on two die steels for aluminum die casting was carried out by dipping and rotating the specimens into the molten aluminum maintained $680^{\circ}C{\sim}780^{\circ}C$. The rotating speed of the specimen was $4.5rpm{\sim}20.0rpm$. Diffusion layer was formed between the die steel and molten aluminum, and became thicker with dipping time. Wear rate was not proportional with the thickness of the diffusion layer, but was closely related to the density of the diffusion layer. Wear rate was little affected by the kind of die steel and by the microstructure such as martensite, tempered martensite, and pearlite. Specimen with nitrided surface showed good wear resistance, and its wear rate was decreased with increase in the thickness of nitrided layer. While whole surface was worn in heat treated specimens, wear of nitrided specimens was proceeded by pitting partially.

  • Various manufacturing technologies, including over-molding and insert-injection molding, are used to produce hybrid plastics and metals. However, there are disadvantages to these technologies, as they require several steps in manufacturing and are limited to what can be reasonably achieved within the complexities of part geometry. This study aims to determine a practical approach for producing metal/plastic hybrid components by combining plastic injection molding and metal die casting to create a new hybrid metal/plastic molding process. The integrated metal/plastic hybrid injection molding process developed in this study uses the proven method of multi-component technology as a basis to combine plastic injection molding with metal die casting into one integrated process. In this study, the electrical conductivity and ampacity were verified to qualify the new process for the production of parts used in electronic devices. The electrical conductivity was measured, contacting both sides of the test sample with constant pressure, and the resistivity was measured using a micro ohmmeter. Also, the specific conductivity was subsequently calculated from the resistivity and contact surface of the conductor path. The ampacity defines the maximum amount of current a conductive path can carry before sustaining immediate or progressive deterioration. The manufactured hybrid multi-components were loaded with increasing currents, while the temperature was recorded with an infrared camera. To compare the measured infrared images, an electro-thermal simulation was conducted using commercial CAE software to predict the maximum temperature of the power loaded parts. Overall, during the injection molding process, it was demonstrated that multifunctional parts can be produced for electric and electronic applications.

  • Rheo-diecasting with stirring has been used in many material industries. As the 4th Industrial Revolution approaches the world, eco-friendly high-strength and light-weight materials become more important. Casting methods have been studied and used for aluminum-alloy automobile parts. This study carried out the effect analysis of the micro-structure and mechanical properties, such as yield/ultimate tensile strength, elongation, and hardness, of A356 using the 6-pole EMS (electro-magnetic stirring) casting process with a high electromagnetic force. As a result, the hardness and elongation of the A356 after T6 heat-treatment show a significant improvement, respectively, by 20% and 50%.

  • H-NCM(Hong-Nanocast Method)has several benefits such as a lower porosity defect and high quality casting comparing to conventional die casting. Influence of casting parameters of hybrid-lower arm in rheocasting process on the slurry flow and the amount of porosity defect was investigated using experimental and simulation methods. In the present study, the Carreau model was adopted to simulate the pattern of rheological flow. Optimal casting paremeters such as injection speed and stroke variations were established. Sound products with integral microstructure and sound shape of joinning different materials of Al and steel pipe without deforming the steel pipe were obtained by the H-NCM slurry and X-ray analysis also showed integral condition throughout the entire parts.

  • A coupled approach is proposed for the prediction of sheet profile in sheet casting process, which combines one-dimensional analytical method on planar elongational flow region and three-dimensional numerical method on the other region. The strategy is constructed from the observations that the flow domain of sheet casting process can be separated into two parts based old the flow kinematics. The flow field in the central region of sheet, over which the planar elongational flow dominates, is possibly replaced by one-dimensional analytical solution. Then only a partial flow domain near the edge region of sheet, where the flow kinematics cannot be described by the planar elongational flow itself, requires three-dimensional numerical simulation. Good agreement is observed between the coupled approach developed in this study and the full three-dimensional numerical simulation previously developed and reported by the authors. This coupled approach may have provided flexibility with low costs to accommodate a wide range of die sizes in sheet casting process.
