압출성형 온도에 따른 백삼과 홍삼분말의 팽화현상을 살펴보기 위해 팽화율, 미세구조 및 유동특성을 분석하였다. 압출성 형 공정 변수는 원료(백삼과 홍삼가루)와 사출구 부위온도($100^{\circ}C$ 와 $115^{\circ}C$)로 설정하였다. 사출구 부위온도가 $120^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 잘 팽화되지만, 백삼분말과 홍삼분말은$100^{\circ}C$에서 사출구 직경방향으로 팽화율이 높았으나 $115^{\circ}C$로 증가와 함께 사출구 직경방향 팽화율은 감소하였으나 가로 방향으로 팽화율이 증가하여 비연속적인 팽화가 일어나 압출성형물 표면은 기공의 파열에 거칠었다. 또한 백삼 압출물의 미세구조는 사출구 온도$100^{\circ}C$에서 기공이 작고 균일하였지만 $115^{\circ}C$로 증가와 함께 기공의 파열에 의해 기공의 크기가 불균일하고 크기도 증가한 것을 관찰하였다. 백삼분말과 압출성형 백삼분말은 의가소성유체였으며 고유점도는 사출구 부위온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하여 사출구 부위온도의 증가와 함께 백삼전분의 구조가 파괴되어 분자량이 감소하는 것으로 판단되었다. 분자량의 감소와 함께 용융반죽의 점도가 낮아져 압출성형 온도 $115^{\circ}C$에서 직경 팽화율의 감소와 함께 불연속적인 팽화가 일어난 것으로 판단되었다.

A thorough study about the influences of Mn substitution for Fe on the microstructure and magnetic characteristics of $Fe_{73.5-x}Mn-{x}Si_{13.5}B_{9}Nb_{3}Cu_1$ (x = 1, 3, 5) alloys prepared by the melt-spinning technique has been performed. Nanocomposites composed of nanoscale $(Fe,Mn)_{3}Si$ magnetic phase embedded in an amorphous matrix were obtained by annealing their amorphous alloys at $535^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The addition of Mn causes a slight increase in the mean grain size. The Curie temperatures of the initial amorphous phase and of the nanocrystals phase decreased, while the Curie temperature of the remaining amorphous phase remained nearly constant with increasing Mn content. Soft magnetic properties of the crystallized samples have been significantly improved by a proper thermal treatment. Accordingly, the giant magnetoimpedance effect is observed and ascribed to the increase of the magnetic permeability, and the decrease of the coercivity of the samples. The increased magnetic permeability is resulted from a decrease in the magnetocrystalline anisotropy and saturation magnetostriction.

Silk fibroin (SF) fiber from the Antheraea pernyi silkworm was treated with a 1.23 N iodine-potassium iodide ($I_2-KI$) aqueous solution, and the structure and physical properties were investigated to clarify the effects of the iodine treatment. The noticeably high weight gain value of SF fiber, about 25 wt% was attributed to the absorption of polyiodide ions in the form of $I_3{^-}\;and\;I_5{^-}$. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements suggested that polyiodide ions mainly entered the amorphous region. In addition, a new sharp reflection on the meridional direction, corresponding to a period of $7.0{\AA}$, was observed and indicated the possibility of the formation of mesophase structure of ${\beta}$-conformation chains. Dynamic viscoelastic measurements showed that the damping tan ${\delta}$ peak at $270^{\circ}C$ gradually shifted to lower temperature in the iodinated SF fibers, suggesting an enhancement of the molecular motion of the fibroin chains induced by the presence of polyiodide ions. With heating above $254^{\circ}C$, the iodine component introduced intermolecular cross-linking of SF, and the melt flow of the sample was inhibited. The thermal decomposition stability of fibroin molecules was greatly enhanced by iodine treatment.

The solidification behavior of the squeeze cast composites of aluminum alloys reinforced with boron fiber($100{\mu}m$) and silicon carbide fibers($140{\mu}m$ and $15{\mu}m$) were investigated. Al-4.5wt%Cu and Al-l0wt%Mg were chosen for the matrix phase of the composites. In the squeeze cast specimen with high thermal difference between fiber and melt, the average secondary dendrite arm spacing(DAS) in reinforced alloy is smaller than that in unreinforced alloy. It was also observed that primary ${\alpha}$ and non-equilibrium eutectic, which seems to be penetrated and solidified at the final stage of the solidification of the matrix, are irregularly distributed around fibers. It is considered that cold fibers serve as heterogeneous nucleation site. While in the remelted and resolidified specimen without temperature difference, the DAS was not changed with reinforcement and microstructure reveals non-equilibrium eutectic with relatively uniform thickness around fibers. It might be evident the nucleation starts at interfiber region. Microsegregation decreases with the decrease in cooling rate and with reinforcement in the as-squeeze cast specimen. Al-10wt% Mg alloy shows less microsegregation than Al-4.5wt%Cu alloy.

The squeeze infiltration process is potentially of considerable industrial importance. The performance enhancements resulting from incorporation of short alumina fiber into aluminum are well documented. These are particularly significant for certain automobile components. Aluminum matrix composite automotive parts, such as diesel engine pistons or engine blocks are produced using squeeze casting apparatus or pressure die-casting apparatus. But the solidification process gets complicated with manufacturing parameters and the factors for porosity formation have not fully understood yet. In this study the formation of porosity during squeeze infiltration has been studied experimentally to achieve an improved understanding of the squeeze infiltration process for manufacture of short-fiber-reinforced components, particularly the mechanism of porosity formation. Al-based MMCs produced under a range of conditions were examined metallographically and the porosity characterised;a kind of matrix, an initial temperature of melt, and a volume fraction of reinforcement. The densimetry and the microscopic image analysis were done to measure the amount of porosity. A correlation between manufacturing parameters and defects was investigated through these.

The microstructure and tensile properties of Mg-Zn-Ca and Mg-Zn-Mn-Ca alloys have been investigated. The alloys were obtained by melting in a low carbon crucible coated with boron nitride under an Ar gas atmosphere to prevent oxidation and combustion. The Mg alloy melt was cast into the metallic mold at room temperature, and cooling part was located at the bottom of mold. The phase formed during solidification of the Mg-Zn-(Mn) alloys containing 0.5%Ca is $Ca_2Mg_6Zn_3$. The yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the alloys increased with increasing Zn content, but the ductility did not change with increasing Zn content. The addition of Mn improves the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the alloys, but the ductility did not change. Tensile fracture of the alloys revealed brittle failure, with cracking along the $Ca_2Mg_6Zn_3$ phase. The variation of stress with strain obeyed the relationship of the ${\sigma}=K{\varepsilon}^n$.

In order to find out the casting conditions of the thin wall stainless steel exhaust manifold for automobile, the melt flow and solidification behavior simulated by the Z-CAST program were evaluated, and experimental casting result on the test casting and exhaust manifold of SSC13 alloy were investigated. From the results of this study, it was shown that the calculated results on fluid flow were in good agreement with practical thin wall test castings under the same casting conditions, as pouring metal is austenitic stainless steel(SSC13) and pouring temperature is 1575, 1630, and $1665^{\circ}C$ respectively. That calculated result with designed thin wall exhaust manifold was predicted filling up into the mold cavity, and practical casting was sound. The solidification simulation was predicted shrinkages at the bosses for original exhaust manifold, and designed it without bosses was predicted no defect. Therefore practical exhaust manifold casting was sound and in good agreement with calculated solidification results.

There are many factors that influence solidification behavior during continuous casting, e.g. include superheat, casting speed, cooling rate and holding time. However, when melt is stirred by electromagnetic force, there would be some changes in its solidification behavior compared to that of the ordinary casting process. In this study, the billets of A356 alloy with a diameter of 3 inch were fabricated with electromagnetic stirring under various conditions of superheat, casting speed and input voltage of electro magnetic stirring (EMS) device. The microstructure was also investigated under the various casting conditions and electromagnetic input voltages. When increase in input voltage, the microstructure was changed from dendritic to rosette type and finally to spheroidal. With pouring temperature, casting speed and electromagnetic input voltage were $650^{\circ}C$, 100 mm/min and 140 V, respectively, the billet with a diameter of 3 inch, which has a uniform dispersed spheroidal particles in the whole area of billet except for the surface area, was manufactured.

가스사출시 두개이상의 가스흐름가능방향이 존재 할 때 가스는 선택적인 방향으로 흐르게는데 여기에서는 이 가스흐름 방향을 예측하는 방법을 제시하였다. 지금까지는 가스흐름방향은 가스의 하류에 있는 수지의 저항값, 즉 압력손실필요량을 비교하여 예측되어 왔는데 이방법은 대부분의 경우에 정확한 예측력을 가지고 있었다. 그러나 수지의 저항값 또는 압력손실필요량을 비교하는 방법이 실제에는 경우에따라 맞지 아니하였다. 이 연구에서는 수지속도비교가 압력손실필요량비교 보다 한단계위의 판단기준(criterion)이 되는 것을 설명하고 그예를 들어 증명 하고 있다. 압력손실필요량비교 대신 수지속도비교방법을 쓰면 예외없이 모든 경우 정확하게 가스흐름방향을 예측을 할수 있다.

We investigate the effects of solutal convection on the crystal growth rate in a horizontal configuration for diffusive-convection conditions and purely diffusion conditions achievable in a low gravity environment for a nonlinear thermal gradient. It is concluded that the solutally-driven convection due to the disparity in the molecular weights of the component A $(Hg_2Br_2)$ and B (CO) is stronger than thermally-driven convection for both the nonlinear and the linear thermal profiles, corresponding to $Gr_t= 8.5{\times}10^3,\; Gr_s = 1.05{\times}10^5$. For both solutal and thermal convection processes, the growth rates for the linear thermal profile (conducting walls) are greater than for the nonlinear case. With the temperature humps, there are found to be observed in undersaturation for diffusive-convection processes ranging from $D_{AB}$ = 0.087 to 0.87. For the vertical configurations, the diffusion mode is so much dominated that the growth rate and interfacial distribution is nearly regardless of the gravitational accelerations. Also, the diffusion mode is predominant over the convection for the gravity levels less than 0.1 $g_0$ for the horizontally oriented configuration.
