Recently,direct rolling process has been drawing increasing interests because production cost be greatly reduced by eliminating subsequent hot rolling processes. Such a process has been characterized to prosuce thin steel strip (thickness 1~5mm) directly from molten metal and to skip over the conventional hot rolling processes. However, since there are several process parameters, which affect the quality of product,and their relationship between the parametersare very complex,it is therefore very difficult to realize the process design and the quality control. To overcome these difficulties quantitative relationship between the parameters are investigated through a numerical analysis. Form these results, it is found that solidification final point is the most important paramter which is critical to quality of the strip. Also,the multiple regression model is obtianed to determine their relationship from the solidification final point and roll separating force which can be easily estimated

The proper parameters in a twin roll strip casting are important to obtain the stabilization of the Mg sheet. What is examined in this paper is the quantitative relationships of the important control parameters such as the roll speed, height of pool region, outlet size of nozzle, solidification profile and the final point of solidification in a twin roll strip casting Unsteady conservation equations were used for transport phenomena in the pool region of a twin roll strip casting in order to predict a velocity, temperature distributions of fields and a solidification process of molten magnesium. The energy equation of cooling roll Is solved simultaneously with the conservation equations of molten magnesium In order to consider the heat transfer through the cooling roil. The finite difference method (2-D) and the finite element method (2-D) are used in the analysis of pool region and cooling roil to reduce computing time and to improve the accuracy of calculation respectively.

Recently, direct rolling process, called as strip casting process, has been interested in to save production cost by reducing forming processes. In direct rolling process, since a steel strip of thickness 1-5(mm) can be produced directly from molten metal, it can eliminate secondary hot rolling process. On the other hand, since many process variables are existed in this process and relation of these variables is very complex, it is difficult to realize the process design and the quality control. In this paper, as first step to overcome above difficulties, the quantitative relationship of the process variables affected to quality of the strip has been carried out through the numerical analysis. Also, we determined the process variable to monitor the quality in the direct rolling process. As a result, we show that the solidification final point, called as Nip point, was related directly to quality of the strip.

Eutectic composition phase with low melting point which solidifies at the final stage affects the solidification cracking at the intercellular or interdendritic area of welds and castings. If sufficient amount of eutectic composition liquid does not exist between the solidifying phases, the discontinuities remain as cracks. However, abundant amount of liquid eutectic composition existing in the final stage can flow into the discontinuities easily and heal the cracks. By flowing of liquid eutectic and healing of discontinuities, the possibility of cracking can be reduced when the amount of eutectic liquid is sufficient. For the solidification of pure metals, liquid eutectic does not exist and the interlocking of growing solid phases can be realized without interruption of liquid film. Therefore there is little possibility of solidification cracking in the case of welds and castings of pure metal. In a practical sense, the effective way to reduce or prevent the solidification cracking is making the composition of molten pool or melts near to the eutectic composition.

In the steel industries, direct rolling process for production of strip from molten metal has been investigated to simplify processes, to minimize energy consumption, and to improve quality of the strip. In this study, two kinds of practicable scale cooling rollers are proposed. And heat transfer analysis of pool region and cooling roller considering flow of molten metal and roll rotation respectively using the finite element method are performed to obtain the proper initial condition and to observe cooling characteristics of cooling roller. From the results, variations of solidification final points and temperature distribution in roller are observed quantitatively according to roll rotation.

Check valves used in vessels include shock-release function on piping system, aside from basic back flow prevention. However, proper and enough protection of system is not obtainable due to use of high-pressure and bulk fluids, resulting from enlargement of vessels. In this study, casting analysis of check valves protecting systems in flow path from water hammering or back flow is conducted, using Z-CAST program. Also, molten metal filling, flow analysis, solidification analysis and shrinkage cavity analysis are conducted. The main results are as following. Regarding filling of each risering, molten metal showed stable supply condition without being isolated. It was identified that the final solidification exists on risering, but shrinkage cavity possibly might happens at the point of isolation solidification.
