The technology of Semi-Solid Forging (SSF) has been actively developed to fabricate near-net-shape products using light and hardly formable materials. Generally, the SSF process is composed of slug heating, forming, compression -holding and ejecting step. After forming step in SSF, the slug is compressed during a certain holding time in order to be completely filled in the die cavity and be accelerated in solidification rate. The compression holding time that can affect microstructural characteristics and shape of products is important to make decision, where it is necessary to find overall heat transfer coefficient properly which has large effect on heat transfer between slug and die. This paper presents the procedure to predict compression holding time of obtaining the final shaped part with information of temperature and solid fraction for a cylindrical slug at compression holding step in closed-die compression process using heat transfer analysis considering latent heat by means of finite element method. The influence of the predicted compression holding time on microstructural characteristics of products is finally investigated by experiment.

The semi-solid forging is a new forging technology in which the billet is heated to the semi-solid state coexisting liquid and solid phase for making globular microstructure and subsequently formed. As the semi-solid forging is compared with conventional casting such as die casting and squeeze casting for the characteristics of its process, the product without inner defects such as gas porosity and segregation can be obtained and its microstructure is globular grain. Simutaneously, its mechanical properties are improved by globular microstructure and the lower temperature of the slug causes the cycle time of manufacturing to be shortened and the die life to be lengthened. As it is compared with conventional cold and hot forging, it is possible to minimize the equipment of production owing to a lower forming load and reduce the number of process by a followed treatment for complex shaped product. Therefore it is needed to confirm the quality of a semi-solid forged product by defining its characteristics quantitatively under these advantages. This paper investigates the formability of a master cylinder by its forming variables. And the microstructural characteristics and mechanical property of it is also studied.

Semi-Solid Diecasters usually carry out the Semi-Solid diecasting experiments before producing new casts. At the Semi-Solid diecasting stages, the runner-gate part has been always repeatedly corrected, which leads to a tedious processing time and increased processing cost. A large amount of experience is essential in manual assessment and if the design is defective, much time and a great deal of efforts will be wasted in the modification of the die. In this study, design system has been developed based on design database. In addition, gate experiment for gating system design has been carried out to append the database. It is possible for engineers to make efficient gating system design of Semi-Solid diecasting and it will result in the reduction of expenses and time to be required. The detailed contents of the research are described in the followings. An attempt is made to link programs incorporating a number of expert design rules with the process variables obtained by commercial FVM softwares, MAGMAsoft, to form a useful package.

The process design to produce a near net shape home-appliance compressor component using semi-solid die casting process is performed. In order to obtain a good component without defects such as liquid segregation and porosity, the relationship between pressure and time, and plunger tip displacement and injection velocity are proposed with repeated trial and error. The effect of the velocity variation in the process parameters on liquid segregation and extraction is investigated to produce the aluminum frame part(a kind of compressor part) with good mechanical properties. The mechanical characteristic of semi-solid die casting formed parts for AlSi7Mg0.65r(A357) and AlSi17Cu4Mg(A390) are investigated with a view to minimizing the occurrence of defects. To investigate of application possibility at industry field, A380 aluminum alloy with 8∼9% silicon contents used for the squeeze casting process. The obtained mechanical properties is compared with semi-solid die casting.

The behaviour of alloys in the semi-solid state strongly depends on the imposed stress stage and on the morphology of the phase which can vary from dendritic to globular. To optimal net shape forging of semi-solid materials, it is important to investigate for material behaviour for variation of strain rate. Therefore, to investigate the effect of compression speed on deformation of aluminum alloy with globular microstructure, the compression test for semi-solid aluminum alloy with controlled solid fraction is perform by material test system which is attracted with furance. The behavior of semi-solid aluminum alloy were discussed for the various solid fraction and die speed. The material constants in stress-strain were are also proposed.

As semi-solid forging (SSF) is compared with conventional easting such as gravity die-easting and squeeze casting, the product without inner defects can be obtained from semi-solid forming and globular microstructure as well. Generally speaking. SSF consists of reheating, forging, ejecting precesses. In the reheating process, the materials are heated up to the temperature between the solidus and liquidus line at which the materials exists in the form of liquid-solid mixture. The process variables such as reheating time, reheating temperature, reheating holding time, and induction heating power have much effect on the quality of the reheated billets. It is difficult to consider all the variables at the same time when predicting the quality. In this paper, Taguchi method, regression analysis and neural network were applied to analyze the relationship between processing conditions and solid fraction. A356 alloy was used for the present study, and the learning data were extracted by the reheating experiments. Results by neural network were on good agreement with those by experiment. Polynominal regression analysis was formulated by using the test data from neural network. Optimum processing condition was calculated to minimize the grain size, solid fraction standard deviation, otherwise, to maximize the specimen temperature average. In this time, discussion is liven about reheating process of row material and results are presented with regard to accurate process variables for proper solid fraction, specimen temperature and grain size.

재료의 표면개질은 표면층의 조직변화에 대한 개질법과 표면피복에 의한 개질 법으로 나눌 수 있다. 조직변화에 의한 개질법으로는 침탄, 질화, 이온주입 및 금속 확산 등이 있고, 표면피복에 의한 개질법으로는 도장, 도금, 육성용접, 물리증착(PVD) 및 화학증착(CVD) 등이 있는데, 용사법은 표면피복에 의한 개질법에 속한다. 용사기술 은 비교적 최근에 발달된 표면피복 기술로서 그림1과 같이 플라즈마, 가스화염 또는 아크열원을 이용하여 금속 또는 비금속 재료를 용융 혹은 반용융 상태로 모재에 고속 도로 분사하여 충돌 적층시켜 피복하는 공정으로 다른 표면개질기술에 비해서 여러 가지 잇점을 가지고 있다. 이것은 거의 모든 재질의 모재(금속, 세라믹, 유기재료 등) 에 대해 피막의 형성이 가능하고, 용사재료의 종류도 다양하다(금속, 합금, 각종 세라 믹, 플라스틱, 각종 복합재료 등). 또한 노재크기의 제한이 없고, 대형의 재료에 대해 서 한정된 부위의 피복이 가능하며, 모재의 열영향이 적고, 피막의 형성속도가 다른 피막법에 비해 빠른 장점을 가지고 있다. 그 예로 알루미나(Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$)를 피복할 경우 화학증착(CVD)법에 의해서는 피막형성 속도가 약 2 * $10^{-4}$mm/min 인데 비해 용사법에 의해서는 약 7.5 * $10^{-1}$mm/min로 매우크다. 이와같은 많은 장점을 갖고있는 용사법을 이용한 표면개질에 대해 본 기술보고에서 서술하고자 한다.
