In this study, sand casting process was applied to manufacture a large aluminum turbo-type fan used for tank powerpack. To apply the sand casting method, the turbo fan was reverse engineered, and after designing three gating systems, the optimal gating system design was selected by performing casting simulation. In the case of the bottom up-gating system, there is a significant temperature loss of the molten alloy during blade filling. When the molten alloy is completely filled into the sand mold, the blade upper tip and front shroud are below the liquidus temperature. In the case of the top down-gating system, molten alloy scattering occurs, but the temperature loss while the blade is filled is smaller than that of the bottom up type. And after the inflow of molten alloy into the mold is completed, the blade upper tip and front shroud are higher than the liquidus temperature. A sand mold was manufactured with the top down-gating system and the casting process was performed. The fan was made perfectly in appearance without any unfilled parts.

The aim of this study was to identify the sources of benzene detected in airborne of casting workplace where benzene was not used as raw material. We have identified benzene by GC/FID and GC/MSD. In this pilot test, small size iron chamber(diameter 30 cm, height 20 cm) was used. As the raw materials, new sand, recovered sand, and mixed casting sand(new sand + solidifying agent + organic resin + coating material) was tested, respectively. In the new sand benzene was not detected, but in the recovered sand and the mixed casting sand was detected. Xylenesulfonic acid(solidifying agent), one of the mixed casting sand ingredients was thought to product benzene by thermal decomposition above $400^{\circ}$..., but the other raw materials(organic resin and coating material) were thought not to product benzene. In this experiment, the most of benzene by thermal decomposition was produced within 1 hour after pouring the iron solution($1560^{\circ}$...) in small size iron chamber. When the mixed casting sand with coating material was used, the concentration of the produced benzene was average 2.91 ppm(range 1.98~3.72 ppm), and without coating material, benzene concentration was average 0.11 ppm(range 0.08~0.14 ppm).

Important factors in a casting mold are strength at the mold surface and gas permeability of the mold. This study investigates the effects of pre-pressure and sand particle hardness on gas permeability, with a constraint that the norm of a stiffness array at the mold surface should be higher than a certain value. The constitutive relation is obtained using a hypoplasticity model. This study is firstly attempted to investigate sand behavior in mold fabrication, and will give a theoretical base for fabricating better molds.

In this study attempted to prevent defects due to blow holes among defects of sand casting products. It was intended to reduce the defect rate by reducing the blow hole of the inner surface. Currently, expectations and requirements for the quality level of non-ferrous aluminum casting in the casting industry are increasing. In addition, the shape is complex and the shrinkage precision is required. Among them, the test prototype is expensive to manufacture the mold, and the production time is also long, and the product is manufactured by sand casting. At this time, the highest defect rates are defects caused by shrinkage defects, surface defects, and blow holes.. At this study, the manufacturing time was shortened by using the shape of the fluid movement path in advance. Also, it is possible to reduce defects due to blow holes.

Metal casting is a process in which molten metal or liquid metal is poured into a mold made of sand, metal, or ceramic. The mold contains a cavity of the desired shape to form geometrically complex parts. The casting process is used to create complex shapes that are difficult to make using conventional manufacturing practices. For the optimal casting process design of sleeve parts, various analyses were performed in this study using commercial finite element analysis software. The simulation was focused on the behaviors of molten metal during the mold filling and solidification stages for the precision and sand casting products. This study developed high-life sleeve parts for the sink roll of continuous hot-dip galvanizing equipment by applying a wear-resistant alloy casting process.

In the sand casting process, the flow of liquid metal affects the quality of casting products and their die life. To determine the optimal bush part design process, this study performed various analyses using commercial finite element analysis S/W. The simulation focused on the molten metal behaviors during the mold filling and solidification stages of sand casting. This study aims to develop methods to reduce the cost and increase the tool life of the continuous hot zinc plating roll.

Silica sand, zircon sand, and steel shots were used as mold packing materials in lost foam casting of the aluminum alloy bar. Vibration acceleration in three directions and temperatures in the casting and mold were measured, and packing and cooling characteristics of these materials were investigated. Packing densities increased with increase in vibration magnitude and time, and were $1.41{\sim}1.49g/cm^2$ for silica sand, $2.54{\sim}2.86g/cm^2$ for zircon sand, and $3.92{\sim}4.52g/cm^2$ for steel shots. Sound castings were obtained only without evacuation of the flask during pouring. Solidification time became faster in order of silica sand, zircon sand and steel shot packing because steel shot has the highest cooling capacity of them. Solidification time of steel shot packing was shortened to about 1/2 of silica sand packing. Cooling capacity of sand mold was generally evaluated by heat diffusivity of the mold, however could be simply evaluated with specific heat per unit volume of the packing material in lost foam casting.

An accident from machine work is often fatal to the worker. This accident is mostly preventable through perfect process jig. In case of this machine work, however, the disaster frequently occurred because of the design which is not considered the beginning of product design, post-process and mass process of production. As for sand casting method, this has the merits of the production; the product is easily produced by manual labor. On the other hand, this method has the demerits of a bigger dimensional error contrary to other mass process of production. When the sand casting product is in machine work, there are various problems such as unsafe fix and excessive cutting, product desorption and rapid life depreciation of equipment and tools. Considering the characteristics of sand casting method, it is accepted as difficulty to improve the problems. In this study, it suggests shell mold method for mold instead of the machine work after the sand casting of the circle shape container product. And the surface accomplishes the following average of surface roughness Ra$9.94{\mu}m$ of machine work with the casting of flask mold by shell mold method. In accordance with the simplification of processing process and reducing the average thickness variation by mass production of product with detailed appearance, it has a good influence on safety accident prevention caused by production and damaged product. It is confirmed that making higher degree of size precision of all machine work product is possible to increase the safety and productivity, reduce the processing process and improve environment.

주강품 사형주조에는 천연규사가 보편적으로 사용되었고, 규사의 열적특성 부족에 의한 소착결함 억제를 위해, 크로마이트사가 사용되기도 하였으나, 반복 사용에 의한 골재 열화, 시스템샌드 혼입 문제, 분리 제거의 어려움, 높은 밀도에 따른 조형 시 하중증가, 크롬 함유 폐기물이 되는 단점이 있다. 최근에는 주조업계의 중요한 과제로써 산업폐기물 저감 및 대기환경 개선이 부각되고 있다. 종래의 주물사 사용 시 발생되는 문제점 해결과 주조공장의 환경개선을 위해서, 천연사를 대체 적용할 수 있는 다양한 인공사가 개발되어 소개되고 있다. 인공사는 용융분사법으로 제조된 인공사와 조립소결법으로 제조된 인공사 및 분쇄법으로 제조된 인공사로 분류할 수 있으며, 원료광물의 종류, 제조공법에 따라 상이한 물리적 특성을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는 각종 주물사의 물성, 주형강도, 물리적 내구성, 열적 내구성, 소착시험편 주조 등의 비교 평가시험을 하였다. 밀도에 따른 주물사 실사용량, 주물사 형상에 따른 주형강도, 주물사의 물리적 및 열적 내구성, 주물사의 내열특성을 종합적으로 고려하였을 때, 아크용사법으로 제조된 용융인공사 A1 또는 분말식화염용사법으로 제조된 용융인공사 B가 대형주강품 주조에 가장 적합한 구형의 인공사로 판단된다.

청동기시대 청동잔무늬거울은 당대 최고의 합금, 주조기술과 최고 경지의 수공예 세공기술, 조형 수준을 보여주는 것으로, 이번에 시도된 국보 제141호와 제143호 청동잔무늬거울의 복원 제작기술에는 밀랍주조법과 주물사주조법을 사용하였다. 또한 복원된 청동잔무늬거울을 대상으로 주성분분석, 미세조직, X-ray 촬영, SEM-EDS 분석을 실시하였다. 주물사주조법으로 주조한 청동거울은 내부의 공석상은 거의 존재하지 않는 ${\alpha}$ 수지상조직만이 관찰되며, 밀랍주조법의 경우는 ${\alpha}$ 수지상 사이로 공석상이 존재함을 확인할 수 있다. 복원 청동거울 분석을 통한 밀랍주조법과 주물사주조법을 상호 비교해 보면 대체로 주물사주조법이 밀랍주조법에 비하여 주조성이 좋고 냉각속도가 늦어 더 선명하고 균일한 청동거울을 얻을 수 있는 것으로 보인다. 이상과 같이 밀랍주조법과 주물사주조법으로 주조한 청동거울은 서로 큰 차이가 있음을 복원한 청동거울들과 미세조직 분석을 통하여 확인할 수 있었다. 앞으로도 이러한 연구가 계속적으로 진행되어 고대 청동거울들의 제작기법을 다양한 방법으로 규명할 수 있는 기회가 되었으면 한다.
