Influence of interfacial structure between matrix and particle in A356/coated SiC composite fabricated by squeeze casting method was studied. Experimental variables are types of coated metallic film on SiC particles such as Cu, Ni-P, and applied pressure for squeeze casting. It was found that coating treatment on SiC particles improves the wetting of liquid A356 alloy on SiC particles. SiC particle distribution is very homogeneous in A356 matrix alloy which is fabricated by squeeze casting. Analysing the surface morphology of fractured A356/coated SiC, it was concluded that metallic thin film by coating treatment on SiC particle improves the interfacial bonding between particle and matrix, and so does on mechanical properties such as tensile strength. However, there was on significant difference in hardness between those composite made of as-received SiC particle and coated SiC particle.

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.

Foundry techniquews for large steel casting depends on the skills of foundrymen considerably. Especially, the problem of reducing casring surface defects is difficult to clear numerically. Statistical analysis by using wuantification theory for hot tear and sand inclusion, and multiple regression analysis for dimensional defects have been shown to be examples of solving this difficulty. Many causes of surface defects can be evaluated by these analyses. These evaluations serve as the base data of defect reduction and contribute to the constant improvement of casting quality and quality enhancement activity. The system to perform quality enhancement activity was developed and it proved very useful for transfering foundry techniques and skills from the old to young generations.

The horizontal cold chamber pressure die casting produces a variety of net shape, complicate-geometry castings with desired mechanical properties. dimensional tolerance, and surface finish. However, top quality castings can be achieved only when optimal performance of thecold chamber (shot sleeve )and plunger is maintained druing the molten metla injection phase of the process. Unforturately, inreality , shot sleeves deteriorate fast and sometimes fail catastrophically due to incorrect design. These early and unexpected failures of shot sleeves cost die casters money and productiivity. To prevent promature failures of shoe sleeves major faulure mechanisms were investigated. with the aid of analyticla solutions robust design criteria for shot sleeves have been developed. The data directly obtained from failed shot sleeves in the die casting industry for automotive parts, support a strong correlation between design and filures. by applying these design criterial we expected premature faulures of shot sleeves can be avoided in die casting industry.

Alumium alloys casting are gaining increased acceptance in the automotive and electronic industeries and squeeze casting is the most efficient method of manufacturing such mass produced parts. This study has been investigated the microstructures and mechanical properties of Al-7.0Si-0.4Mg (AC4C) alloy fabricated by squeeze casting process for development of Fuel system Parts (Fuel rail). The microstructure of squeeze casted specimen were composed of eutectic structure Alumimim solid solution and $Mg_2$Si precipitates. The tensile strength of as-solid solution treatment Al-7.0Si-0.4Mg ahoy revealed 298.5MPa. It was found that Al-7.0Si-0.4Mg alloy have good corrosion resistance in electrochemical polarization test.

As part of continuing efforts to investigate nonlinear dynamics and stability of film casting process, our earlier results obtained by Lee et al. (2001b) have been extended in the present study to cover the film casting of both extension thickening and extension thinning fluids. The same instability mechanism and draw resonance criterion previously derived have been found valid here, and a rather complex dynamic behavior of film width in contrast to that of film thickness has also been confirmed. The effect of fluid viscoelasticity on draw resonance, however, exhibits opposite results depending on whether the fluid is extension thickening or thinning, i.e., it stabilizes film casting in the former while destabilizing in the latter. The encapsulation extrusion method which recently has been successfully employed to stabilize industrially important paper coating process, has been theoretically explained in the present study as to why such stabilization is possible.

Rapid Prototyping is a prototyping technology that produces complicated parts directly form three dimensional CAD data with high efficiency, and has been extensively applied to various manufacturing processes. The aim of this research is to apply a 3D printer part as wax pattern in the investment casting process. The difference between conventional pattern wax and 3D printer wax is compared by experiments. The direct casting method is developed for ceramic-shell investment casting.

As rail steel at a crossing area must undergo much higher loading than those at regular railway, Mn-containing casting steel is normally used for its high load-carrying capability and reduced wear rate. However, as these Mn-containing casting steel is tend to have casting defects, manufacturing cost to produce defect-free Mn-containing casting steel becomes quite expensive. Therefore, in order to investigate the possibilities of replacing expensive Mn-containing casting steel with a mild steel with a surface build-up using a Mn-alloyed steel electrode.

Experimental study on the twin roll strip casting of BCuP-5(Cu-15wt%Ag-wt5%P) alloy was carried out using laboratory scale horizontal type twin roll caster. In this study, among the various operating parameters, such as tundish angle, contact angle, pouring temperature, roll speed, presetting gap of the rolls and kinds of roll and tundish materials, effect of pouring temperature for strip casting of BCuP-5 alloy which has long freezing range of about $170^{\circ}C$ was mainly investigated. BCuP-5 alloy strip was successfully produced when pouring molten metal at lower temperature than its liquidus temperature. Microstructure of the cast strip consists of primary Cu and eutectic. Especially the size of primary Cu phase increased with decreasing of pouring temperature.

The lost foam casting process was used to fabricate Al-Si-Mg cast specimens, and the effects of the chemical composition and process variables on the tensile properties and the mold filling ability were investigated. Some porosity formation was observed in thick sections of the casting and better tensile properties were obtained for thin sections, presumably because of their lower porosity and the higher cooling rate. Tensile properties were not clearly enhanced by grain refining treatment with Ti; however, the elongation was significantly improved by Sr modification of the Al-Si-Mg alloy. The mold filling distance was generally proportional to the pouring temperature of the melt, and the distance was also increased by the addition of Ti.
