In this paper, the utilization of waste foundry sand produced in the molding process is studied as a backfill material for underground electric utility systems such as concrete box structures and pipe lines for power supply. The physical, chemical and thermal properties for waste foundry sand are investigated far mechanical stability, environmental hazard and power transmission capacity Also its properties are compared with those of the natural river sand. The test results show that waste foundry sand can be utilized for underground concrete box structures as a backfill material; however, it can not be applied to underground pipe lines due to high thermal resistivity or low power transmission capacity.

The effects of solid solution treatment and aging in the properties of Cu-0.32wt%Be-1.35wt%Co alloy was gravity die casted and forged were investigated in order to examine the optimum heat treatment conditions for production of high conductivity mold material. The optimum properties for mold material were obtained under the conditions which were solid solution treated at $930^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour and aged at $430^{\circ}C$ for 2hours.

Disposal of casting foundry fly ash generally depends on reclamation up to the present. This is the great loss from a standpoint of saving resources and utilizing industrial wastes. Therefore, a study on the reuse of fly ash as a substitute material for construction is necessary in order to utilize industrial wastes, to reduce cost and improve quality in producing concrete products, and to protect environment from pollution. In this study, methods for the reuse of the casting foundry fly ash, industrial wastes products, as an admixture for concrete are discussed. For this purpose, fly ash was extracted from casting foundry and tests of physical and chemical properties are executed. Also, various characteristics of concrete using fly ash as an admixture are experimented. Finally, the reuse methods for casting foundry fly ash are presented.

In this study, 3D visualization of the packing behavior of the charge material in a foundry was attempted. It was simulated based on the practical conditions of the charge material and the melting furnace. It was confirmed whether the 3D visual simulation realistically implements the packing behavior of the manufacturing site. The realistic packing state by the 3D visual simulation was compared with the ideal packing state. It was analyzed in which case the difference between the two packing states occurred. The advantages of applying the 3D visual simulation to the manufacturing process were investigated, and various application plans in the casting industry were proposed.

절삭특성은 재료를 원하는 형상으로 가공하기 위해 재료의 불필요한 부분을 제거할 경우 그 가공성이 쉽거나 어려움에 대한 정도로 전의될 수 있는데 동합금 소재의 절삭특성은 절삭시 발생된 칩의 형상이나 길이를 측정하거나 또는 공구계에 부착된 토오크 미터에 의해 절삭력을 간접적으로 측정하는 방법 등이 사용되어 오고 있다. 상기의 평가방 법은 절삭특성의 간접적인 평가방법이라는 한계와 정확도에 문제가 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 압전형 공구동력계(Piezoelectric Tool Dynamometer)를 쾌삭인청동합금 피절삭물에 직접 부착하여 절삭가공시 절삭력은 정량적으로 직접 측정하고자 하였다. 쾌삭인청동합금의 소둔 열처리 시간이 증가할수록 결정립의 성장에 의한 연화현상과 납입자의 군집화(Clustering)는 관찰되었으나 그로 인한 절삭력 및 절삭에 필요한 에너지의 변화는 뚜렷하지 않았다.

Waste foundry sands were tested to determine their leaching characteristics when used as reactive media in permeable reactive barriers (PRBs). Water leach tests and column leach tests were performed on twelve foundry sands and three reference materials such as Peerless iron, a local fill material, and torpedo sand. The latter three materials were tested to compare concentrations of heavy metals and anions found in other materials commonly placed below the groundwater table with those from the foundry sands. Results of water leach tests md total elemental analyses showed that all of the laundry sands are Category 2 materials per Section NR 538 of the Wisconsin Administrator Code. However, tests on Peerless iron, torpedo sand, and a typical fill material indicate that these materials, which are commonly placed below the groundwater table, also are Category 2 materials. Thus, using foundry sand as a PR3 medium should pose no greater risk than that imposed using conventional construction materials.

Contact material is widely used as electrical parts. Ag-Cd alloy has a good wear resistance and stable contact resistance. But the disadvantages of Ag-Cd alloy are coarse Cd oxides and harmful metal, Cd. To solve the disadvantages of that, Ag-Sn alloy that has stable and fine Sn oxide at high temperature has been developed. In order to optimize Sn amount that affects the formation of the oxide layer on the surface, we worked for the microstructures and properties of Ag-Sn material fabricated by rapid solidification process. The experimental procedure were melting using high frequency induction, melt spinning, and internal oxidation. We have shown that the optimized Sn amount for high hardness is 7.09 wt%Sn. Surface oxide layer forms when Sn amount is over 9.45 wt%. The size of Sn oxide is 20 nm.
