In Die casting process, the problem of die degradation is often issued. In oder to increase of die life the material degradation of die steel was investigated using test core pins. Three test core pins were positioned in front of the gate entry and observed washout and soldering resistance during Mg die casting process. The test parameters are set as different commercial die materials, coatings condition and hardness of die surface. Usign 220t magnesium die casting machine was employed to cast AZ91 magnesium alloys. After 150 shots, macroscopic observation of die surface was carried out. Additional 50 cycles later, test pins were chemically cleaned with 5% HCl aqueous solution to find out the existence of washout and soldering layers. Microstructural characterization of die surface and the die roughness measurement were performed together. Computational simulation using AnyCasting program was also beneficial to correlate the extent of die damage with the position of test pin inside die cavity. As results, the optimal combination of die steel with productive coating as well as its hardness was drawn out. it will be helpful to decide the material and condition considering increasing of tool life.

The rheological characteristics of PNN-PZT ceramics with high electromechanical coupling factor and electricstrictive constant was investigated. Green sheets of piezoelectric PNN-PZT ceramics were made by tape-casting method with controlling the mixing ratio of a dispersant, an organic binder, and a plasticizer. When the dispersant content was 1 wt.%, the slurry showed the best rheological characteristics for tape casting. The amounts of the plasticizer and the binder was simultaneously varied in the ranges of 1.5~18 and 3~9 wt.%, respectively. When both the plasticizer and binder of 6 wt.% mixed in the solution, respectiveley, the highest green density of the sheet was obtained without macrodefects. Multilyered structures of PNN-PZT/Ag-Pd were successfully fabricated using the optimized tape casting condition. The polarization behavior of these actuators seemed to similar to typical electricstrictive polarization behavior. The multilayer ceramic actuator is about $0.6{\times}10^{-3}$ of strain.

Recently, the use of high-tech ceramic parts in functional electronic parts, automobile parts and semiconductor equipment parts is increasing. These ceramics materials are required to have high reproducibility, reliability, large size and complex shapes. The researchers initiated the work to develop a new shaping method called gel casting, which allows high performance ceramic materials with a complex shape to be produced. The manufacturing process parameters of gel casting include uniform mixing of the initiator, bubble removal, and slip injection. In this study, we analyzed the dispersion and gelation characteristics according to the change in the additive content of the alumina slurry in the gel casting process. The alumina slurry for gel casting was prepared by mixing a solvent, a monomer and a dispersant through a ball mill. Alumina powder and a gelation initiator were added to the mixed solution, and ball milling was performed for 24 hours. A viscosity of 6,435 cps and a stable zeta potential value were obtained under the conditions of alumina powder content of 55 vol% and dispersant 2.0 wt%. After curing for 12 hours by adding aps 0.1wt%, TEMED 0.2wt%, and Monomer 3, 5wt%, it was possible to separate from the molding cup, confirming that the gelation was completed.

본 논문에서는 고정밀 로터용 원심주조기 방식을 연구 및 개발함으로써 관련 업종의 생산성 향상을 위하여 로터의 충진율 해석을 통해 RPM에 따른 로터의 충진율을 비교해 최적의 RPM을 제시하였다. 회전속도가 600 rpm일 때 충진율 99.47%를 보여줌으로써 실제 작업현장에서의 결과와 비슷하므로 이를 토대로 추가적으로 수행하여 그 결과를 이용한다면 보다 정확한 공정설계를 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 또한 소형 레이들의 전도율해석을 통하여 고품질의 주조제품이 생산될 수 있도록 적합한 소형 레이들의 온도를 분석하였다. 니크롬선을 이용한 가열장치가 없는 경우는 $427^{\circ}C$까지 급격히 떨어진 상태로 알루미늄용액이 급격히 굳어지기 시작했다. 그러나 니크롬선의 가열장치가 있는 경우에는 알루미늄 용액의 용융온도인 $660^{\circ}C$이상을 유지한 상태에서 작업을 할 수 있었으며 온도변화가 거의 없음을 알 수 있었다.

The aim of this study was to optimize a solid solution treatment for a high pressure die casting Al-10Si-0.3Mg-0.6Mn alloy to avoid blistering and to improve the strength of the alloy. To achieve this goal, the number density of the blisters and the strength of the alloy under various solid solution treatment (SST) conditions were evaluated. The SST was performed at 470, 490, 510 and 530℃ for 20, 60, 120, 240 and 480 min on the alloy. The number density of the blisters increased with the increasing temperature and time of the SST and the defect area fraction. The yield strength of the alloy after the T6 heat treatment increased with the increasing SST temperature and time. Based on the results, it is suggested that SST should be performed at 510℃ within 60 min. or at 470 and 490℃ within 240 min. to avoid blistering and to improve the strength.

The electrochemical characteristics of Al-Si casting alloys (Al-10%Si, Al-9%Si, Al-7%Si) in 3.5% NaCl solution at room temperature was studied using potentiodynamic techniques. The electrochemical values of corrosion potential($E_c$), corrosion current density($I_c$) and corrosion rate(mpy) were examined. The Al-Si alloys had several compounds such as $Mg_2Si$, ${\pi}$-$Al_8Si_6Mg_2Fe$ and $Al_2CuMg$ which could affect corrosion resistance significantly. The potentiodynamic polarization curve exhibited typical active behavior in anodic polarization curve. The major corrosion mechansim for the Al-Si alloys were pitting and grain boundary corrosion. As increasing Si and Cu contents, their corrosion resistance was decreased.

In the molten state, magnesium alloys vigousey react with oxygen in the air, is protected from oxidation and burning by the addition of $SF_6$ to $CO_2$ atmosphere over the melt. The mechanical properties and metallographic examinatin have made of Mg-Al alloys containing 3, 6, 9% in the solution treated state and precipitated state, comparing mechanical properties obtained during unidirectional solidification with me chanical properties obtained during conventional casting. For a given solution treatment, a higher aluminum contents produce more or less fine grains in conventional casting. For a given artifical aging treatment, a higher aluminum contents produces much precitates at the grain boundary as well as within the grain in unidirectional solidification. As a result of this experiment, for a given heat treatment, the higher is aluminum contents the higher is the ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, hardness while the lower the elongation. Also the mechanical properties of unidirectional solidification is larger than that of conventional casting.

A micro-macroscopic analysis on the conduction-controlled directional casting of Al-Cu alloys is performed, in which emphases are placed on the microstructural features. In order to facilitate the solution procedure, an iterative micro-macroscopic coupling algorithm is developed. The predicted results show that the effect of finite back diffusion on the transient solidification process in comparison with the lever rule depends essentially on the initial concentration of an alloy. In the final casting, the eutectic fraction is distributed in an increasing-decreasing-increasing pattern, each mode of which is named the chill, interior and end zones. This nonuniformity per se suffices to justify the necessity of this work because it originates from the combined effects of finite back diffusion and cooling path-dependent nature of the eutectic formation. As the cooling rate is enhanced, not only the influence depths of boundaries narrow, but also the eutectic fractions in the chill and interior zones increase. In addition, it is revealed for the first time that the micro segregation band is formed in response to a sudden change in cooling rate during the directional casting. An increasing change creates an overshooting band in the eutectic fraction distribution, and vice versa.

In this study, we examined corrosion behaviors of two types of Pb alloys for a lead acid battery comparatively. One containing 6.6 wt% Sn, 36 mg/kg Bi, and 612.4 mg/kg Ca was prepared by twin-roll continuous casting. The other containing 5.2 wt% Sn, 30.5 mg/kg Ag, and 557 mg/kg Ca was made by twin-belt continuous casting. Potentiodynamic polarization tests were performed to evaluate corrosion resistance. Cyclic voltammetry was done to examine oxidation and reduction reactions occurring on the surface of each alloy in 4.8 M H₂SO₄ solution. Electrochemical test results implied that the Pb alloy prepared with the twin-belt casting method was less stable than that cast with the twin-roll method. Such results might be due to precipitations formed during the casting process. Rolling did not appear to affect the corrosion behavior of the twin-roll samples with Ag < 10 mg/kg, while it reduced the anodic reaction of Ag on the surface of the twin-belt sample with 30.5 mg/kg Ag.
