Mechanical properties of hypereutectic Al-Si alloy are influenced by the size and distribution of primary Si. To investigate the effects of P addition and holding time, hypereutectic Al-Si alloys with various amount of P content were produced in the lab. Then, the size and distribution of primary Si were examined respectively. Mechanical properties of hardness, tensile strength and wear resistance were analyzed in conjunction with the microstructural variations in alloys.

Effects of process parameters during thixocasting, such as solid volume fraction, mold temperature and extrusion ratio, on the mold filling behaviour and fluidity of Mg alloy(AZ91D) have been investigated. The semi-solid ingot held for 60 minutes at the semi-solid temperature range did not contain the equilibrium volume fraction of solid as expected from the phase diagram. Therefore, in order to obtain the desired solid fractions, and to suppress the exaggerated grain growth during heating, it was required to heat the ingot rapidly up to the temperature $10^{\circ}C$ higher than the semi-solid temperature suggested from the phase diagram for a specific volume fraction of solid. The experimental results show that mold filling behaviour and fluidity can be improved with the use of the higher mold temperature and the lower volume fraction of solid, but remain nearly unaffected by the change of extrusion ratio.

기존의 장신구 은제품은 무르고 주조공정 특유의 미세한 표면결함을 가져서 착웅 중 쉽게 변색되는 문제가 있었다. 본 연구에서는 내식성을 향상시키기 위해 $92.5\%Ag-6.5\%Cu-1\%Zn$의 삼원계 은합금을 기초 소재로 해서 반지장신구를 상정하여 기존의 주조공정으로 대략의 형태를 만들고 금형과 유압프레스로 성형 가압시켜서 적극적으로 주조 시에 발생한 미세기공을 제거하고 결정립을 미세화하여 표면경도와 밀도를 향상시켰다. 선반가공과 미세연마를 실시하여 내식성이 향상된 표면과 기존 주조공정에 비해 3배 이상 향상된 경도를 가져서 스프링백 효과에 의해 귀보석을 세팅할 수 있는 개선된 텐션형 은장신구 공정을 개발하였고 이때의 최적 성형 정도를 확인하였다.

Aluminum alloy permanent mold castings often exhibit in as-cast or T5-heat treated state an inverse distribution of hardness, i.e. thinner sections have lower hardness than thicker sections. This phenomina is explained by measuring the cooling curves in a test casting in an Aluminum piston alloy (AC8A or A332). Thinner sections solidify faster but later cooles down more slowly than thicker sections in temperature range where coarse precipitation of supersaturated elements can take place. The precipitation rate of $Mg_2Si$ phase in A332 alloy seems to be maximum at around $490^{\circ}C$.

The process of solidification of metal is accompanied by liquid-solid change and known as Stefan's heat conduction problem on the moving boundary. In this study the temperature distribution in ingot and metallic mould during casting was analyzed by the two dimensional heat conduction theory. The transient temperature distribution was numerically calculated using a finite element method on the nodal point of mesh screen representing ingot and mould cross section. The theory was applied on the casting of aluminum(purity ; 99%) in flat ingot mould of GC25. The analysis will make it possible to calculate an optimum mould shape of which temperature gradient becomes minimum.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of the low pressure die-cast Al wheels were investigated by microscope, image analyzer, NDT (non-destructive test), and tensile test. The variation of SDAS (secondary dendrite arm spacing), porosity per unit area, quality grade, and tensile properties with the mold temperatures were examined. SDAS was gradually decreased with a decrease in temperature. However, the lowest value of porosity per unit area was observed at the mold temperature of $405^{\circ}C$ and the optimum mold temperature was found to be $405^{\circ}C$. Besides, from the observation of pore morphology, it was also found that the pore formation was mainly caused by shrinkage during solidification. The tensile strength, elongation, and impact toughness were markedly decreased, however the yield strength was nearly constant. The decrease of mechanical properties is attributed to the increase of porosity.

Functionally graded microstructure of centrifugal cast Al-Si alloy, especially distribution of primary Si particles according to the changes of melt pouring temperature and rotation frequency was investigated by numerical simulation. Moving velocity of Si particles increased as the melt pouring temperature and rotational frequency of mold increased. Therefore, segregation tendency of primary Si particles toward inner side of cylindrical sample increased as the melt pouring temperature and rotational frequency of mold increased. Rich distribution region of particles was located at 0.9, 0.7, 0.4 mm from inner surface of cylindrical sample under the centrifugal cast condition of $750^{\circ}C$ melt pouring temperature and 1500, 2000 and 2500 rpm mold rotational frequencies, respectively, by numerical simulation.

본 연구에서는 기존 고압주조법의 해결과제인 고속충진 시 혼입되는 금형 cavity 내부의 유해 gas에 의한 gas porosity를 제어하기 위한 고속 사출 전 진공시스템 설계와 응고과정에서 발생되는 응고수축에 의한 shrinkage를 효과적으로 제어하기 위한 국부가압 스퀴즈의 조합시스템의 설계로 최적의 기계적 성질을 갖는 부품을 제조할 수 있는 공법을 개발하였다. 또한 개발된 신공법으로 자동차용 고내마모성 요구부품인 Reaction Shaft Support에 기존의 주철제를 대체하는 Al-15wt.%Si 과공정합금을 적용하여 시제품을 제조하였으며, 기존의 공법과 비교한 결과, 내부 porosity가 없는 미세하고 균일한 공정 및 초정 Si의 미세조직을 얻을 수 있었고, 기계적 특성평가에서도 매우 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

It is well-known that the analysis of elasto-plastic thermal stress and deformation are substantially important in optimal design of metal casting mould. The unsteady state thermal stress and deformation generated during the solidification process of ingot and mould have been analyzed by two dimensional thermal elasto-plastic theories. Distributions of temperature, stress and relative displacement of the mould are calculated by the finite element method and compared with experimental results. In the elasto-plastic thermal stress analysis, compressive stress occurred at the inside wall of the mould whereas tensile stress occurred at outside wall. A coincidence between the analytical and experimental results is found to be fairly good, showing that the proposed analytical method is reliable.

The RP&M (Rapid prototyping and Manufacturing) is the most appropriate technology for the small-lot production system, in which the production cycle is getting shorter owing to various needs from consumers. In this paper, RP&M is applied to a casting process. A casting process has a merit of being able to reflect complicated shapes at one time. But it has not been applied to the precision industry because of bad quality on surface. So we will improve characteristics of aluminum casting process using vacuum sealed casting process and porous ceramic mold which is made by slurry casting process.
