타이타늄은 경량성, 고강도성, 내화학성, 인체친화성, 내환경성 등의 물성을 이용하여 다양한 산업분야에 활용되고 있다. 다양한 산업분야에 정형부품으로 타이타늄을 가공하는 기술 중에서 가장 경제성이 높은 분야로 주조공정을 들 수 있다. 주조공정으로 부품을 제조하면 복잡한 형상을 기계가공하지 않고 거의 정형으로 제조할 수 있으며, 기계적 물성 또한 단조품에 버금가는 제품을 생산할 수 있다. 또한 다량의 제품을 생산할 수 있기 때문에 경제성에서도 유리하다. 이와 같은 주조품을 제조하는데는 진공에서 불순물의 유입을 최소화 할 수 있는 특수용해공정과 주형과의 반응을 최소화 할 수 있는 주형재료와 주조방안이 필수적이다. 본 고에서는 반응성이 높은 타이타늄을 용해하는 기술과 주형과의 반응이 최소활 될 수 있는 주형재료의 선정, 그리고 실 제품에 활용하기 위한 다양한 후처리 기술에 대하여 요약하였다.

Mg alloy is widely used for the IT, auto and consumer electronics industries. Semi-solid casting(SSC) of magnesium alloys is used to produce high quality components. SSC process is analogous with the injection molding of plastics. The high strength and low weight characteristics of magnesium alloys render the high-precision fabrication of thin-walled components with large surface areas. To produce thin-walled magnesium alloy parts, SSC process parameters on the quality of the finished product should be clearly studied. In this paper, to select optimal process parameters, Taguchi method is applied to the optimal design of the process parameters in the SSC process. The die temperature, injection velocity and barrel temperature of the SSC process are selected for the process parameters. The effectiveness of the optimal design is verified through the CAE software.

Semi-solid casting(SSC) of magnesium alloys is increasingly being used to produce high quality components. This process is similar to the injection molding of plastics and is called thixomolding. Using this process, higher strength, thinner wall sections and tighter tolerances without porosity are obtained. The high strength and low weight characteristics of magnesium alloys render the high-precision fabrication of thin-walled components with large surface areas. They are widely used for the IT, auto and consumer electronics industries. However, warpage of the thin-walled sections degrade quality of the parts produced in the SCC process. To produce thin-walled magnesium alloy parts, the geometry of gating system on the quality of the finished products should be clearly studied. In this paper, to minimize warpage of the thin-walled sections, Taguchi method is applied to the optimal design of the gate geometry in the thixomolding process. Width, height, length and angle of the gating system are selected for the robust design parameters. Effectiveness of the robust design is verified through the CAE software.

In order to develop the semi-solid forming technology for magnesium alloy the rheological and thixotropic behavior of Mg alloy slurry with varying shear rates and cooling rates was investigated and simulated with considering the viscosity based on microstructures and processing variables. The viscosity of slurry of Mg alloy (AZ91D) in semi-solid region was exponentially increased with a solid fraction, and was decreased with increasing a shear rate. In order to analyze precisely the rheological behavior, the ANYCAST program modified with the Carreau model and the different heat transfer coefficient between the cast and mold was used to simulate the flow behavior of Mg semi-solid slurry during the injection into a casting mold in a high pressure diecasting machine. The simulated rheological behavior of Mg alloy slurry was matched well with the experimental results.

Rheocasting of AZ91D magnesium alloys yielded the microstructure consisted of the spherical primary particles in the matrix which is different from conventional casting. Rheocast ingots were produced under various processing conditions using batch type rheocaster. Morphology of primary particles was changed from rosette-shape to spherical shape with increasing stirring rate$(V_s)$ and decreasing isothermal stirring temperature$(T_s)$. With increasing $V_s$, more effective shearing between the particles occurred rather than the agglomeration and clustering, so the primary particle size decreased. But with decreasing $T_s$, primary particle size increased mainly due to sintering and partially Ostwald ripening. The sphericity of primary particles increased with increasing $V_s$ and decreasing $T_s$ due to enhanced abrasion among the primary particles. The uniformity of primary particle size increased with increasing Vs and $T_s$.

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)
