The casting defects that are caused by molten metal were cold shut formation, entrapment of air, gas, and inclusion. But the control of casting defects has been based on the experience of the foundry engineers. In this thesis, the computer simulation analyzed the flow of molten metal. The quantitative analyses which proposed the effective mold design was executed Flow patterns of 0.15-0.16m/s molten metal in 15 mm thin plate casting were investigated in order to optimize die-casting process. As increasing ingate velocity in thin plate casting, cold shot was decreased. The parameters of runner shape that affected on the optimized conditions that was calculated with simple equation were investigated. These die casting process control techniques of automobile valve body mid-plate have achieved good agreement with the experimental data of tensile strength, hardness test, and material structure photographies satisfactory results.

1990년에 일본 혼다 기연공업의 고성능 스포츠카(NSX)는, 올 알루미늄합금보디등에 알루미늄을 이용, 대폭 경량화시켜 화제를 모았으며 90년 전후부터는 스포츠카나 스페셜리티카로 불리우는 고성능 승용차의 보디외판과 발주위부품에 알루미늄부품이 잇달아 채용되기 시작하였다. 알루미늄부품의 채용이 정착한 최근에 와서, 승용차의 알루미늄화 움직임에 변화가 생겼다. 90년 이전에는 승용차의 발주위부품은 알루미늄단조품으로 경량화하는 것이 보통이었는데, 91년 가을경부터, 이것을 알루미늄 주조품으로 대체하는 방향으로 흐름이 바뀌었다.(중략)
