In this research, the friction and wear characteristic behaviors of coating materials of TiAlN and CrAlN were investigated. The wear test was conducted in air and un-lubricated state using the reciprocating friction wear tester. Temperature were 50 and $120^{\circ}C$, and load were 3, 7, and 11 kgf for tests. By comparing the coefficient of friction and observing the wear microstructure, the friction and wear characteristic behaviors of TiAlN and CrAlN coating layers on SKD61 were investigated. The coefficient of friction of CrAlN coating was lower than that of TiAlN at all conditions. Therefore, CrAlN was suggested to be more advantageous coating than TiAlN for the extrusion mold of aluminum.

In this study the rigid-plastic finite element method is used in order to study the deformation characteristics of solid cylinder upsetting. The effects of friction and aspect ratios on the effective strain distribution, axial stresses at the die-material interface, radial displacements, strain components, grid distortion on the meridional cross-section and gradual changes of outer profile are studied analyzed and compared with the experiments for commercially pure aluminum and .alpha.-brass. The agreement between numerical (or theoretical)and experimental results is shown to be acceptable for the engineering purpose.

화학적 가공이란 화학적 절식이라고 말할 수 있는 방법으로서 주조 또는 공작기계에 의한 절삭 가공대신에 약품에 의한 용해작용을 이용해서 성형품을 만드는 방법이라 할 수 있다. 이 방법은 금속자의 눈금의 조각이나 프라스틱 제품에 눈금을 넣는 금형등에 이용되고 있다. 이는 원래 항공기공업방면에서 중용되어 개발된 기계가공에 대응하는 방법이다. 크기나 정밀도에 있어서 주조(die casting)가 부적당한 경우 혹은 모양이나 능률에 있어서 기계절삭에 의하는 것이 부적 당한 경우에는 이 방법이 이용된다. 최근에 와서는 항공기기계제작 분야에 있어서의 알루미늄의 표면가공뿐만 아니라, 자동차, 건축부분의 구조부품의 성형분야에도 진출하는 경향이 있으며 가 공대상금속도 실용금속일반에 걸쳐 확대되어 감으로써 가장 용도가 넓은 철강류에 확대되어 감 으로써 가장 용도가 넓은 철강류에 까지도 응용되어 가는 실정이다. 이와 같이 종래의 기계적인 수단이 유일한 방법이라고 생각되었던 금속가공분야에 있어서 이러한 화학적 가공법이 도입되 었다는 것은 십분주목할만 한 가치가 있다. 이 화학적 가공법의 특징을 종래의 기계가공법과 비교하면 다음과 같다. (1) 피가공판의 크기는 이를 수용하는 가공조의 용량에 따라 제한될뿐이며 어떠한 대형 물이라도 가공 가능하다. (2) 가공모양은 자유롭게 설계할 수 있고 더욱이 1매 금속 판에서 1공정으로서 복잡한 모양으로 성형할 수 있다. (3) 따라서 이작업에서는 리벳팅, 용접등의 부대작업을 필요로 하지 않는다. (4) 그 가공면은 일반으로 평활하고 마루리 연마공정을 생략할 수 있다. (5) 가공조작이 간편하여 특별한 숙련을 요하지 않고 설비도 가공조의에는 별로 고가의 기기류가 필요치 않다. (6) 이상과 같은 이유에서 본법의 가공비는 기계가공에 비해서 일반적으로 저렴하다. Symposium보고및 전문서가 많이 있으나 여기에는 중요한 몇가지만 소개한다.

Magnesium has been used as wheel materials in the automotive industry for more than 20 years. The magnesium wheels, which are lighter by 25% than aluminum wheels, provide easy controllability providing excellent road holding by the reduction of weight. The purpose of this work is to develop cast AZ91D alloy wheel by sand cast and permanent mold cast. The fluxless melting with the protective gas $(SF_6+CO_2)$ was Performed to eliminate oxidation of melt and impurity. The transfer of molten magnesium to the mold was done by using gas-pressurized Pump system through the heated pipe. The mechanical properites of AZ91D alloy wheel were investigated as a function of heat treatment, ingot composition.

The rapid Tooling technique is classified into two methods: one to directly utilize the model which was made by rapid prototyping technologies for dies, and the other to make a transferred type using the model as a master model and create dies and molds using it. In this study, the Al powder filled resin was made several mixed ratios and meshes sizes, and applied to slurry casting. And, variation of mechanical characteristics such as the shrinkage rate, the tensile strength, the elongation, the hardness, and surface roughness, are measured to compare. Consequently, as higher is the powder mixed ration and as smaller is the grain size of the power, the mechanical characteristics of the final mold are improved. Finally, the metal short fiber which can be fabricated easily and cheaply, if the self-excited vibration of an elastic tool, was also applied to slurry casting. It has been found tat the hardness gets higher, while the shrinkage rate lower, if mixed with short fiber.

Cold gas dynamic spray or cold spray is a novel manufacturing method for coatings. Cold spray is a high rate and direct material deposition process that utilizes the kinetic energy of particles sprayed at high velocity (300-1,200m/s). In this research, a technique to repair the damaged mold by cold spray deposition and mechanical machining was proposed. An aluminum 6061 mold with three-dimensional surface was fabricated, intentionally damaged and material-added by cold spray, and its original geometry was re-obtained successfully by Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining. To investigate deformation of material caused by cold spray, deposition was conducted on thin aluminum plates ($100mm{\times}100mm{\times}3mm$). The average deformation of the plates was $205{\sim}290{\mu}m$ by Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM). In addition, the cross section of deposited layer was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To compare variation of hardness, Vickers hardness was measured by micro-hardness tester.

In this study, a new spot welding with electric resistance heated dies is suggested for the spot welding of non-ferrous metal plates for drawing and concurrent spot welding. This welding method involves two heating processes such as heating by conduction of electric resistance heated dies and heating by resistance between contacted surfaces of two plates by welding current induced to copper dies for the fusion of contacted metal. This welding process has welding variables such as current induced in heated and copper dies, the inner diameters of heated dies, and edge shape of the copper dies. Experimental conditions for each current should be established to get successful welding strength. The welding strength could reach to the desired value in industrial fields under the following conditions of contact diameters of heated dies in this case of overlapped aluminum5052 plates with 0.3-mm thickness: inner and outer diameters of 5.0 and 16mm, respectively; diameter of copper dies, 5.0mm; heating current, 6.8kA in heated steel dies; welding current, 8.6 kA in copper dies.

In this study, the reason of die fracture occurring in hot forging of an aluminum fixed scroll was studied, based on experiments and finite element predictions. The material is assumed to be rigid-viscoplastic, and the die is rigid for the finite element predictions. The stress in the tension at the wrap root is known to cause brittle fracture, and the increase in the tensile stress is owing to the unbalanced filling of material into the die cavities between both sides of the warp. Based on the empirical and numerical achievements, the effects of geometrical parameters of the material on the die fracture were examined to find practical measures for elongated die life. It has been shown from the parametric study that the material with the optimized trapezoidal cross-section, which can be easily made during cutting or the optimized cylindrical billet with its eccentric placement in the die cavity, can considerably reduce the magnitude of the tensile stress around the die corner fractured, indicating that economical manufacturing with reduced number of stages and elongated die life can be realized at once using the optimized practical initial material.

The objective of this development project is to localize an automatic molten metal supplier that has been distributed by WESTOMAT, Germany, throughout the world. To achieve this purpose, an energy-saving pressurized dosing furnace and molten metal differential pressure control system that Is able to automatically supply a determined quantity of aluminum molten metal were developed. The localized equipment was installed in a site. Also, the results of the test operation of this equipment can be summarized as follows: It was able to improve the productivity because there were small decreases in supplying speeds and small losses in wastes compared to the existing mechanical molten metal supplier. Also, it was able to minimize the cost in maintenances due to the direct application of high temperature molten metals to molds. In addition, there were small energy losses due to the use of high thermal insulators compared to the existing reverberating furnace and able to prolong the life-time of furnaces and produce good quality nonferrous metals because it represented small carbon refractories and alumina in applied molten metals. Furthermore, it demonstrated no particular differences by objectively comparing it with the product by WESTOMAT.
