Vacuum molding process(V-process) has several benefits such as a lower total production cost and a high quality casting comparing to the conventional sand molding. Influence of the gating design on the molten metal flow was investigated in this study. General criteria for the gating design of the castings and commercial codes for the flow and solidification analysis were used to attain the optimized gating design in V-process. Though mold cavity was filled smoothly under the low initial velocity of molten metal, molten metal dashed against the upper part of the mold before the completion of the mold filling with higher initial molten metal velocity and fell soon. This phenomenon may affect collapsing the mold shape, however it is thought that the possibility of burning out of the vinyl by the molten metal is not so high because vinyl is coated with refractory material.

The effects of mold materials on the microstructure and tensile properties were investigated to develop a mass production technique of aluminum alloy parts with excellent mechanical properties using a lost foam casting method. The microstructures of the plate-shaped cast alloy showed a tendency to be finer in proportion to the thickness of the plate, and a remarkably fine structure was obtained by applying a steel chill or a ball as a mold material compared to general sand. When a steel ball was used, it was observed that the larger the ball, the finer the cast structure and the better the tensile properties. The microstructure and tensile properties of the cast parts with complex shapes were greatly affected by the gating system, but the positive effects of the steel chill and the steel ball as a mold material were clear.

우리나라의 주물공장에서 발생되는 폐주물사는 연간 80만 톤 정도로서 90 %이상이 매립되고 있으므로 토양 덴 지하수 오염 문제로 인한 피해가 우려된다. 또한, 폐기물관리법이 크게 강화됨으로써 폐주물사의 재활용 방안에 대한 대책 수립이 절실히 요망된다. 본 연구에서는 폐주물사를 콘크리트용 잔골재로 재활용하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 폐주물사의 품질 및 폐주물사를 대체한 모르타르 및 콘크리트의 물성에 관한 실험결과에 대하여 고찰하였다. 폐주물사의 비중은 천연골재와 비슷하였으나, 단위용적 중량 및 실적률은 작았으며, 흡수율이 다소 큰 문제점이 있었다. 폐주물사의 입도는 천연골재로서 적정비율로 대체, 유해원소 및 유기불순물은 세척처리 함으로써 콘크리트용 잔골재로 사용 가능하였다. 폐주물사 대체 모르타르의 유동성은 보통모르타르와 비교하여 약간 떨어졌으나, 압축강도는 대체율 20 %에서 크게 나타났다. 한편, 폐주물사 대체 콘크리트의 응결시간은 보통콘크리트보다 약간 빨랐으나, 블리딩률은 오히려 작았으며, 슬럼프 손실률이 다소 큰 문제점은 있었다. 그러나 폐주물사를 30 % 대체한 콘크리트의 압축, 인장강도 및 탄성계수는 재령에 관계없이 좋은 결과를 나타내었다.

The full mould casting process in one of the newly developed techniques which has many advantages. Unbonded sand mould has been prepared for the major mould and $CO^2$ gas mould has been used occasionally for comparison. Patterns were built up with expanded polystyrene and coated with three different materials. Silica, graphite and zircon were used for the coating layer. The effects on fluidity and temperature loss of molten metals were investigated. The molten metals were Al-5% Si alloy, Cu-30% Zn alloy and gray iron of approximately 4.0% of carbon equivalent. Experimental variables were runner section area, superheat, sprue height, coating materials, coating thickness and apparent density of EPS pattern. The effects of coating materials on fluidity and temperature loss of the molten metals during transient pouring are summarized as follows : As runner section area, superheat and sprue height increased, fluidity increased. Temperature loss decreased as runner section area and sprue height increased. However, reversed effects were observed in the case of superheat increment. The coating materials decreased the fluidity of each alloy in the order of silica, graphite and zircon. Zircon brought to the highest temperature loss among the coating materials used. The fluidity increased in the order gray iron, Cu-30% Zn and Al-5% Si alloy while temperature loss in the reverse order. Especially in case of reduced pressure process, the fluidity was increased apparently. Al-5% Si alloy showed the lowest temperature loss among the alloys. The increment of the apparent density of EPS pattern resulted in the fluidity decrease and temperature loss increase. The relation between fluidity and temperature loss of each alloy can be expressed by the following equation within the coating thickness limit of 0.5-1.5㎜. F^*={\frac{a}{T^*-b}}-c$ where, $F^*$ : fluidity in the Full mould, $T^*$ : temperature loss in the mould. a : parameter for full mould. b, c : constants.

Casting defects produced during the casting process seriously affect the mechanical properties of the resulting products, reduce the performance capabilities of the product, and also result in economic losses. Therefore, this paper mainly investigates the causes of defects and methods by which to reduce these defects stemming from molten metal flows in a runner system of the type widely used in the sand mold casting process. The flow characteristics of a molten alloy are difficult to observe during the actual casting process. For this reason, a water model was used to observe the flow in the casting process, and the flow in each case was recorded using high-speed cameras as part of the experimental process of this study. Several repetitive experiments were performed to improve the accuracy of the experimental results. The traditional casting system was modified according to the design rules proposed by Campbell, and the system was termed flow-adaptive gating system with a water model. Comparing the flow characteristics of traditional and adaptive gating systems with a water model shows that the bubbles in the water in the latter case are reduced more significantly than in the former case. A ceramic filter system was adapted to the flow-adaptive gating system to minimize the instability of the flow during filling, which occurs as the fluid velocity in the runner increases. In additional, the flow behavior with and without the filter system were compared. The water model system in this work was shown to be able to verify that the adaptation of the filter system brings improvements by stabilizing the flow and reducing the amount of bubbles in the runner system. Moreover, using the flow-adaptive runner system with the filter system leads to considerably stable flows in the runner system.

It is very important to obtain gray and ductile cast irons with completely pearlitic structure by addition more economical alloying elements. In this study, 9 melts of gray iron and 5 melts of Mg-treated ductile cast iron were made according to Sb content (0-0.08% Sb). Each melt were casted to ${\phi}20mm$ test bars in sand mold under the same condition and inspected microstructure, mechanical and thermal properties. The results obtained from this study are as follows: 1. It is confirmed that Sb should be an economical, simple and useful additive for avoiding ferrite in gray and even in ductile cast irons. 2. For gray cast iron, the recommended ladle addition of metallic Sb amounts to 0.05%. At these levels, Sb has no detrimental influence on the mechanical properties of gray cast irons, which are normally modified according to their pearlite content without increasing the chilling tendency. 3. Despite its adverse influence on graphite shape in ductile iron, Sb can be used as a pearlite stabilizing alloying element even in the case of Mg - treated iron. The quantity to be added does not exceed 0.04% in the case of thinwalled castings. 4. The nodule count is increased very much and the shape of graphite particles become remarkably spheroidal. The matrix may be fully pearlitized, except for thin - walled castings, because the high nodule count results inevitably in some ferrite. 5. The $Ac_1$ and pearlite decomposition temperature are rised in accordance with increasing of additive Sb amount.

Urbanization rates of population range from about 1% in the developed countries to about 4% in developing countries. For a global population that may reach 10 billion within the next 40 years, pressure has arisen for an increase in the large-scale use of wastes and byproducts in construction. Ironically, most of the wastes that need to be recycled are generated in large cities where the need for constructed facilities to serve large population is high. Waste and recycled materials (WRM) that are used in construction are required to satisfy material strength, durability and contaminant teachability requirements. These materials exhibit a wide variety of characteristics owing to the diversity of industrial processes through which they are produced. Several laboratory-based investigations have been conducted to assess the pollution potential and load bearing capacity of materials such as petroleum-contaminated soils, coal combustion ash, flue-gas desulphurization gypsum and foundry sand. For full-scale systems, although environmental pollution potential and structural integrity of constructed facilities that incorporate WRM are interrelated, comprehensive schemes have not been developed for integrated assessment of the relevant field-scale performance factors. In this presentation, a framework for such an assessment is proposed and presented in the form of a flowchart. The proposed scheme enables economic, environmental, worker safety and engineering factors to be addressed in a number of sequential steps. Quantitative methods and test protocols that have been developed can be incorporated into the proposed scheme for assessing the feasibility of using WRM as partial or full substitutes for earthen highway materials in the field.

발굴 작업이 종료된 후 중요한 의미를 지닌 유구는 여러 가지 방법으로 보존된다. 보존 유형에 따라 원형 보존과 이전 복원 방법으로 대별되며 이중에서 이전 복원 방법은 주거지, 야철지, 가마터, 고분 등의 유구 전체를 원 상태로 이전한 후, 복원하는 유구이전방법, 유구 전체를 이전하기 어려운 경우 유구의 형태만을 합성수지를 이용하여 전사하여 복원하는 유구전사 방법으로 대별되며, 고분의 단면, 건물지의 판축, 퇴적층, 패총 등의 토층 단면을 전사하여 보존하는 토층전사 방법이 있다. 토층 전사는 그 당시의 환경에 따른 변화 즉 홍수로 인한 범람 흔적, 화재로 인한 흔적, 조개를 먹고 버린 껍데기와 생활 쓰레기가 쌓여 당시의 생활상을 확인할 수 있는 패총 등으로, 중요한 역사적 자료가 된다. 특히 점토와 마사토 등의 성분이 다른 흙을 교대로 다져가며 판축을 한 토층의 경우, 그 시대의 판축 기술을 판단할 수 있는 중요한 자료가 된다. 이러한 역사적 자료를 토층전사 방법을 통해 보존함으로써 전문가뿐만 아니라 일반인도 공유할 수 있는 역사적 자료와 교육, 전시, 홍보용으로 활용하는데 중요한 자료 보존 방법이라 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 유구 보존 방법 중 현재 발굴 과정에서 노출되는 토양의 층위에 대한 해석으로 많이 이용되는 토층전사의 방법에 대한 정의 및 사용되는 재료의 물성적인 특징을 통해 토층 전사에 대한 정확한 지표를 제시하고자 한다.
