The important thing in extrusion technology is the design and production of molds. Appropriate design of the molds is essential for achieving the desired extrusion of molds at the same time to maximize the life of the molds and increase their efficiency. The extrusion temperature and extrusion speed are the main parameters at the time of extrusion. Different extrusion conditions should be added depending on the extrusion ratio, physical properties of the material, and type of extrusion. In this study, the extrusion process of various 6xxx series aluminum cast alloys for high speed train interior or exterior parts were investigated. The extruded die design was performed for the 6063, 6061, 6N01, 6005, 5083 and 6060 alloy profiles and an extrusion test was conducted. In addition, the extrusion conditions, such as extrusion pressure following as the billet temperature, extrusion temperature, and materials change, were analyzed. Although the 6063 aluminum alloy can be extruded at the lowest temperature and pressure, the 6061 alloy can be extruded at the highest temperature and pressure. From these results, the successful extruded products were manufactured from these established conditions.

정밀주조에 사용되는 왁스형을 기존의 수작업과 금형을 이용하는 방법으로 제작하지 않고 SLS형 RP로 캐스트폼형을 만들고 여기에 왁스를 함침시켜 왁스형을 제작하는 공정을 제안하였다. 왁스형의 정밀도를 향상시키기 위해 캐스트폼형 예열시간, 왁스 함침시간, 왁스 함침 회수 등 중요한 공정변수를 변화시켜 가며 왁스형을 만들었다. 왁스형의 정밀도를 측정한 결과 예열시간이 적어도 30분 이상일 때 정밀도가 우수한 제품을 얻었으며, 왁수를 두 번이상 함침할 때 정밀도가 우수하였다. 왁스형의 표면거칠기는 예열시간이 늘어날수록 향상된 표면조도를 얻을 수 있었다.

As dies and molds have become more and more complicated in the recent years, the demand for lower cost and shorter production time is also growing stronger. Rapid prototyping and Tooling technologies are expected to be used for more rapid and lower cost tool fabrication. However the rapid tooling methods have not yet reached the level of application to the manufacturing of metallic dies and molds which require high dimensional accuracy. As the rapid tooling technology, there are the slurry casting, the powder casting, the direct laser sintering, and so on. Generally, in the slurry casting, the alumina powder and the water soluble phenol were mainly used. However, the mechanical properties of the phenol were not good enough to apply to molds directly. In this study, pure epoxy and two types of aluminium powder reinforced resin are applied to the slurry casting. The mechanical and thermal properties are better than phenol because the epoxy is the thermosetting resin. And mechanical characteristics such as shrinkage rate, hardness, surface roughness are measured for the sake of comparison. Metal powder reinforced resin molds are better than the resin tool form the viewpoint of shrinkage rate and hardness. Finally, it has been shown that the application possibility of this process is high, because the manufacturing time and cost savings are significant.

Rapid prototyping is a new prototyping technology which produces three dimensional part models directrly from CAD data and has been extensively applied to various manufacturing processes. There are many types of rapid prototyping systems due to their building principles and materials. In this work, Stereolithography Appaaratus(SLA) which is the most widely-used rapid prototyping system is introduced to achieve die/mold technology innovation. For the purpose, the prototyping technology using SLA is developed such that patterns of which shapes are quite complicated are successfully produced with high accuracy. Using these patterns, prototype die/molds are efficientrly manufactured; a turbocharger rotor, a fan and a wheel patterns, prototype die/molds are efficienterly manufactured ; a turbochager rotor, a fan and a wheel pattern are made, and the molds of the investment casting, the injection molding and the die casting are manufactured respectively. The casting products are produced using these molds and it turns out that these methods are quitre effective for manufacturing products of complicated geometry from the viewpoint of efficiency and productivity.

Effect of Fe and Mn contents on the castability of Al-9wt%Si-xMg-yFe-zMn alloy has been studied. The alloy was composed of ${\alpha}$-Al phase, Al+eutectic Si phase, ${\beta}$-Al5FeSi compound and chinese script ${\alpha}$-$Al_{15}(Mn,Fe)_3Si_2$ compound. ${\beta}$-$Al_5FeSi$ and ${\alpha}$-$Al_{15}(Mn,Fe)_3Si_2$ compounds assumed to effect the fluidity and shrinkage behaviors of the alloy during solidification due to the crystallization of ${\alpha}$-$Al_{15}(Fe,Mn)_3Si_2$ and ${\beta}$-$Al_5FeSi$ compounds above eutectic temperature. As Fe and Mn contents of Al-9wt%Si-0.3wt%Mg system alloy increased from 0.15wt% to 0.6wt% and from 0.3wt% to 0.7wt%, fluidity of the alloy decreased by 5.7% and 3.3%, respectively. And as Mg content of Al-9wt%Si-0.45wt%Fe-0.5wt%Mn system alloy increased from 0.3wt% to 0.4wt%, fluidity of the alloy decreased by 8.6%. When Fe content of the alloy increased from 0.15wt% to 0.6wt%, macro shrinkage ratio decreased from 6.1% to 4.1%, and micro shrinkage ratio increased from 0.04% to 0.24%. Similarly, Mn content of the alloy increased from 0.3wt% to 0.7wt%, macro shrinkage ratio decreased from 6.0% to 4.5% and micro shrinkage ratio increased from 0.12% to 0.18%. Judging from the castability of the alloy, Al-9wt%Si-0.3wt%Mg alloy with low content of Fe and Mn, 0.1wt% Fe and 0.3wt% Mn, is recommendable.

Investment casting is a production method commonly used to manufacture precision equipment, medical fields, and accessories, and has continued to develop through the modernization of equipment and high quality of materials, and its scope of use has been expanded. The purpose of this study is to minimize the defect rate by deriving structural improvement and standardization of mold temperature, which are key elements of the investment casting process, to minimize the defect rate. The scope of the study is limited to jewelry manufacturing casting processes suitable for understanding the structure and principles of small gate, and an experimental research is to be conducted by using soft Wax, gypsum powder, and 14 K gold as research materials. According to the results, the most appropriate casting standard temperature for the casting pattern of Alloy 14 k was the lowest turbulence at 980℃ flask temperature of 550℃, so good products could be produced. As a future task of this study, detailed studies are needed to data the structure and system temperature of small gate, reduce production defects in the field, and provide data for excellent investment casting competitiveness.

Since the shell-molds are used to make casting the metal parts for the automobile industry, the quality may well be inconsistent with the lower productivity, increasing the cost of the end products. The primary elbow design shell molded steel castings being produced through extrusion process has $180^{\varnothing}$ O.D., $150^{\varnothing}$ I.D., 14mm thickness and 400mm length, while being processed onto the left side of the tubing. The primary cause for the poor processing is the uneven manual shell molding. If the manual shell molds should be produced to have even quality, they would not be processed for tube linking. The purpose of this study was to develop the flask-molds for manufacturing of the shell molds to ensure mass-production, consistent quality, ommission of processing and comfortable working environment. For this purpose, four flask-molds were produced and thereby, four shell molds were assembled. In particular, the shell molds for processing were formed of the fine coated sand to be blown. As a result, productivity increased about three times, while a consistent quality was ensured. Furthermore, the tubes could be linked with each other without being processed, while pallets could be stacked, stored, transported and managed more easily. In a nut-shell, the molding theory could be applied more effectively. However, it is conceived that this study should be followed up by future studies which will research into reliability and endurability of the end products.
