Die design of die casting is composed of selection of cast alloy, design of die casting product, runner design and gate design, etc. In reality, however, die design of die casting has been performed by trial and error method, which cause economic and financial loss. Nowadays, several FEM(finite element method) and FDM(finite difference method) codes have been developed to analyze process of die casting, but this is just confined to an offer of limited information for die design of die casting. In this study, die design system for gate of die casting process has been developed to present algorithm for automation of die design, especially runner-gate system. In addition, specific rules for runner-gate system have been presented to avoid too many trials and errors with expensive equipment. It is possible for engineers to make automatic and efficient die design of die casting and it will result in reduction of expense and time to be required.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analysis the composition on the centrifugal casting and the oxide on the casting temperature. Methods: The nickel based alloy were used in this study. Wax pattern specimens (10*10*2) were invested with phosphate-bonded investment in metal rings, the liquid/powder ratio and overall burn-out schedules for these investments were followed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. After casting, the alloy specimens were evaluated as regards composition(EPMA). The casting temperatures were as follows: $1400^{\circ}C$ and $1700^{\circ}C$. The quantitative analysis of oxides were scanning electron microscope(SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) and line scanning. Results: Nearer the injection lines showed that there is a large amount of nickel. Quantitative of oxides of Ni-Cr alloy cast from $1400^{\circ}C$ is lager than Ni-Cr alloy cast from $1700^{\circ}C$. Conclusion: Casting when using a centrifugal casting machine centrifugal force affects the composition of the alloy. The higher the temperature, the amount of oxide that is generated many.

When manufacturing die casting mold, generally, the casting layout design should be considered based on the relations of injection system, casting condition, gate system, and cooling system. According to the various relations of the conditions, the location of product defects was differentiated. High-qualified products can be manufactured as those defects are controlled by the proper modifications of die casting mold with keeping the same conditions. In this research, Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) simulation was performed with the several layout designs in order to optimize the casting layout design of an automotive part (Housing). In order to apply them into the production die-casting mold, the simulation results were analyzed and compared carefully. With the filling process, internal porosities caused by air entrapments were predicted and also compared with the modification of the gate system and overflow. With the solidification analysis, internal porosities occurring during the solidification process were predicted and also compared with the modified gate system. The simulation results were also applied into the production die-casting mold in order to compare the results and verify them with the real casting samples.

In recent years, Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have become a center of special interest in the automotive industry. Due to their high specific mechanical properties, they offer a significant weight saving potential in modem vehicle constructions. Most Mg alloys show very good machinability and processability, and even the most complicated die casting parts can be easily produced. The die casting process is a fast production method capable of a high degree of automation for which certain Mg alloys are ideally suited. Although Mg alloys are fulfilling the demands for low specific weight materials with excellent machining and casting abilities, they are still not used in die casting process to the same extent as the competing material aluminium. One of the reasons is that effects of various forming variables for die casting process is not closely examined from the viewpoint of die design. In this study, step die and flowability tests for AM60 were performed by die casting process according to various combination of casting pressure and plunger velocity. Microstructure and Victors hardness tests were examined and performed for each specimen to verify effects of forming conditions.

Purpose: Recently, the production technology of dental prosthesis using 3D Printer workpeices has been developed. However, the lack of information on the work processes and casting techniques of materials for 3D printing casting is expected to require research. Therefore, in this study, we intend to cast a Dental DLP 3D Printer workpiece, which is being commercialized, to identify its appearance and internal clearance, and to observe its castability. Methods: Castability of the 3D Printer workpiece was evaluated. The specimen is prepared in a cylindrical shape and in a 1 mm thick coping shape. The control specimen is made of wax and the experimental specimen is made of resin using two types of 3D printers. After casting, the appearance of the casting body was observed and the internal clearance of the coping was measured. Results: RP1 and RP2, cylindrical specimens, were partially cast or fin. When coping-type specimens were measured before casting, the internal clearance of PE2 was more accurate than that of PC and PE1. When coping-type specimens were measured after casting, CE1 was the most accurate in occlusal clearance and CE2n was the most accurate in axial clearance. Conclusion: 1. Exterior observations of the casting body indicated casting defects and fins. 2. Internal clearance observations show that the occlusal clearance of the castings is larger after casting, and the axial clearance of the castings is smaller after casting. 3. It is judged that the RP2 specimen is more likely to be applied for casting than the RP1 specimen.

주조의 공정으로는 왁스패턴(wax pattern), 매몰(Investment), 탈왁스(Dewaxing)와 소성(Curing), 주물(Casting)등으로 나눌 수 있으며, 이러한 공정이 하나라도 소홀하게 되면 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 없게 된다. 2000년 이후, 3D 프린터가 발전되고 사용 횟수가 증가하였으나, 왁스 방식보다 광경화수지 방식의 프린터를 선호함으로 그의 따른 주물 결함이 더 심해지고 있다. 이러한 결함을 해결하기 위해 기존 왁스방식의 주조 결함을 선행논문을 통해 제시하였고, 특히 광경화수지 방식의 결함은 매몰과 탈왁스, 탈수지와 소성에서 기존과 다른 차이를 보였다. 이에 주조 실험을 통해 결과를 제시 하였으며, 특히 기존 방식의 승온곡선이 아닌 광경화수지만의 승온곡선을 제시하였다. 마지막으로 다이렉트 주조가 되지 못하는 것을 분류하고 형틀(Mold)제작에 대하여 제시하였다. 이에 본 연구를 통해 3D 프린터를 사용하는 사용자 또는 광경화수지를 다이렉트로 주조하려는 이들에게 조금이나마 도움이 되고자 한다.

In this study, the casting process using forged insert was applied to manufacturing a knuckle, in order to prove that application of casting process using forged insert is likely to get the effect of light weight and superior mechanical characteristic compared with existing casting products. Firstly, in the forging experiment, it was confirmed that the optimal configuration of the forged insert could be predicted by FE analysis. And by using FVM (Finite Volume Method) software, it was verified that a proposed casting design was available. To identify the mechanical characteristic of the final casting product, the microstructual observation and hardness test were performed at the boundary zone between forging and casting part.

The effects of varying the pouring temperature and the die preheating temperature in producing centrifugally cast HP alloy modified with Nb was evaluated on the basis of the resultant macrostructure, microstructure and hardness of these castings. Increased die preheating temperatures and pouring temperatures resulted in an increase in the thickness of the columnar dendritic zone, the primary and secondary dendrite arm spacing and the thickness of the zone of porosity at the casting I.D.(inner diameter). Lower die preheating temperature and pouring temperatures result in increased grain fineness and an increased zone of equiaxed grains. A higher hardness was achieved toward the casting O.D.(outer diameter) compared to the casting I.D., attributable to alloy segregation toward the casting I.D. and segregation differences resulting from reduced solidification cooling rates toward the casting I.D. Also, a higher hardness was realized at the cold end of the casting attributed to a more uniform distribution of carbides.

The horizontal continuous casting process with the heated mold was applied to obtain the unidirectionally solidified rods($4{\sim}8mm$ dia.) of pure copper with good surface quality. The results could be summarized as follows. 1. The unidirectional solidification of pure copper rods with good surface(mirror surface) quality could be obtained by placing the S/L interface inside the heated mold cavity even though the cast copper rods were covered with thin copper oxide layer. 2. The casting speed for 4mm dia. rods with mirror surfaces was affected significantly by the mold-cooler distance rather than the cooling flow rate when other casting conditions were fixed. 3. The casting speed was the main factor affecting the oxidation of copper during the continuous casting and the thickness of copper oxide layer decreased almost linearly as the casting speed increased.
