In this study, the parameters on the shrinkage defect of HR3C alloy was secured through computer simulation research, and the ingot mold with greater than 85% of sound area was designed and manufactured. Moreover, the optimized coagulation was proposed at design stage through computer simulation and test was performed upon ingot manufactured. After the test, the defect pattern was analyzed through cutting and non-destructive inspection to verify the parameter and ingot mold design. Based on the verification results, shrinkage defect parameters such as Niyama, Feed Efficiency, and Hot Tear Intensity of HR3C Alloys were obtained. In addition, through the secured parameters, a plan for designing ingot mold with a Non-defect area of 85% or more was secured.

A large steel ingot needs to be larger and larger in size and an ultra high clean, no defect in quality with a low hot top ratio for the resent heavy industry. The demands are very difficult to achieve simultaneously because of their contradictive effect to each other in results. In this study, 30ton steel ingot was cast in a foundry with an optimized design parameter of cast mold and cast process conditions for the low hot top ratio, 12%. The cast ingot was analyzed in macro defect, segregations, and cleanness. No macro defect was founded in central surface of the ingot. The degree of segregation and cleanness are in the controlled range with a sound quality.
