This study was numerically investigated on thermal deformation of AC4C and AC7A aluminum alloy casting material for manufacturing the automobile tire mold. The metal casting device was used in order to manufacture the mold product of automobile tire at the actual industrial field. The temperature distribution and the cooling time of these materials were numerically calculated by finite element analysis. Thermal deformation with stress distribution was also calculated form the temperature distribution results. The thermal deformation was closely related to the temperature difference between the surface and inside of the casting. As shown by numerical analysis result, the thermal deformation of AC7A casting material became higher than AC4C casting material. In addition, the results of displacement and stress distributions appeared to be larger at the center parts of casting than on its sides because of the shrinkage caused by the cooling speed difference.

In this study, the solidification characteristics inside the AC7A casting material was analyzed using the numerical analysis method and was verified using the experimental method by the pre-heated temperature conditions of metal casting device. For the numerical analysis, "COMSOL Multiphysics", the commercial code based on the finite element analysis(FEA), was used in order to predict the thermal deformation of the AC7A casting material including temperature, displacement and stress distribution. Also, in order to verify the results calculated by the numerical analysis, the experiment for temperature measurement inside the AC7A casting material was performed using the K-type thermocouple under the same condition of numerical analysis method. In the numerical results, thermal deformation inside AC7A casting material was well-suited for manufacturing products when the pre-heated temperatures of the metal casting device was $250^{\circ}C$. When the results of the temperature distribution were experimentally measured and were compared with those of the numerical result, it appeared that there was some temperature difference because of the latent heat by phase change heat transfer. However, the result of cooling temperature and patterns were almost similar except for the latent heat interval. The solidification characteristics was closely related to the temperature difference between the surface and inside of the casting.

타이어 몰드의 내구성과 정밀도는 타이어의 품질을 결정하는 매우 중요한 요인이다. 그러나 타이어 몰드를 제작하는데 있어서 밀폐된 주조장치 안에서 발생하는 주물의 열변형을 측정하는 데는 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 금형주조장치의 예열온도에 따른 타이어 몰드용 AC7A 주조재의 온도분포, 변위, 응력과 같은 열변형을 수치해석을 통해 분석하였고, 동일 조건하에서 AC7A 주조재의 온도분포를 실험을 통해 측정하여 수치해석 결과와 비교하였다. 수치해석을 위해 상용프로그램인 "COMSOL Multiphysics"를 사용하였고, 금형주조장치의 예열온도를 $150^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, $250^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$로 바꾸어 수치해석을 실행하였다. 수치해석 결과 금형주조장치의 예열온도가 $300^{\circ}C$였을 경우에 주조재의 평균변위와 평균응력은 각각 0.25mm와 0.351GPa로 가장 작게 나타났고, 평균온도는 $374.27^{\circ}C$로 온도가 가장 높게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 수치해석에 의한 온도분포 결과와 실험에 의한 온도분포 결과를 비교하였을 때, 냉각 초기에 상변화과정에서 발생하는 잠열로 인해 약간의 온도차이가 발생하였으나, 그 구간을 제외하고는 거의 비슷한 냉각패턴을 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The microstructure and mechanical property of the ceramic reinforced AC4C matrix composites processed by squeeze casting were investigated. In this study Kaowool and Saffil fiber which are ceramic reinforcements are used as preform materials. As a matrix material, Al-7wt.%Si-0.3wt.%Mg(AC4C) has been used. In case of Kaowool and Saffil/AC4C composites, 7.5 MPa squeezing pressure and minimum 7.0% binder amount are needed to produce sound composite materials. The tensile strength of Kaowool/ AC4C composite is lower than the matrix metal and this can be explained by the melt unfilling due to formed cluster of Kaowool reinforcements. But the mechanical properties of hardness, wear resistance and thermal expansion are better than the matrix materials due to the strengthening effect of ceramic reinforcements.

The microstructure and mechanical property of the Ni and Ni-Cr porous metal reinforced AC4C matrix composites fabricated by squeeze casting were investigated. In this study Ni, Ni-Cr porous metals which are estimated to be easy to fabricate by squeeze casting are used as strengtheners for composite materials. As a matrix material, Al-7wt.%Si-0.3wt.%Mg(AC4C) has been used. In case of Ni/AC4C and Ni-Cr/AC4C composite, $750^{\circ}C$ melt temperature and minimum 25MPa squeezing pressure are needed to produce sound composite materials. The observation of interfacial reaction zone at various heat treatment condition shows that atsolutionizing temperature of above $520^{\circ}C$, the interfacial reaction zone increases proportionally with heat treatment time and the reaction products formed by interfacial reactions are mainly composed by $Al_{3}Ni$ and $Al_{3}Ni_{2}$ phases.

This study is about controlled impurities, which make metal alloys, especially AC4CH alloy that is made by restraining 0.2％ Fe and Aluminum to make a matrix material. A metal matrix composite is produced using the squeeze casting method. The first step in the squeeze casting method is to add some organic binder including aluminum borate whisker into the matrix. After the fabrication of a metal matrix composite, each is individually appended to an inanimate binder such as SiO$_2$, Al$_2$O$_3$, and TiO$_2$. Through experiments the mechanical property changes were investigated between the metal matrix composite and AC4CH alloy. This study proves the superiority of the mechanical property of a metal matrix composites over AC4CH according to the previous tests and results that were mentioned above. One excellent property of matrix material composites is the infiltrated TiO$_2$ reinforcement. This material is a good substitute for the existing materials that are used in the development of industries today.

This was studied about mechanical characteristic of AC4A/SiCw 10-30% reinforced composites. Tensile strength of pressed base metal(base metal) with SiCw preform was higher than without pressed base metal(AC4A). If SiCw whisker volume fraction was increased, tensile strength at room temperature was increased. And tensile strength of SiCw 30% was about $35kg/mm^2$. Tensile strength of SiCw 30 % $400^{\circ}C$ at same time aging was the most excellence, about $40kg/mm^2$. The fracture energy value of composite material at three point bending test was higher than AC4A. Dislocation at matrix of composite material was evenly distributed. But dislocation around whisker of composite material was more existed than matrix. The reasom was thought of pile-up around whisker.

Ni and Ni-Cr porous metals which are estimated to be easy to fabricate by squeeze casting are used as strengtheners for composite materials. As a matrix material, Al-7%wtSi-0.3 wt%Mg(AC4C) has been used. In case of Ni/AC4C and Ni-Cr/AC4C composite, $750^{\circ}C$ melt temperature and minimum 25 MPa squeezing pressure are needed to produce sound composite materials. The observation of interfacial reaction zone at various heat treatment condition showed that solutionizing temperature of above 520^{\circ}C$, the interfacial reaction zone increased proportionally with increasing heat treatment tim and reaction products formed by interfacial reaction are mainly composed of $Al_3Ni$ and $Al_3Ni_2$ phases. The tensile strength of Ni/AC4C and Ni-Cr/AC4C composite is lower than the matrix metal and this can be explained by the brittle intermetallic compounds formed at the interface of Ni and Ni-Cr reinforcements. But the properies of hardness, wear resistance and thermal expansion are better than the matrix due to the strengthening effect of Ni-Cr porous metals.

Developing a salt core for squeeze casting process, two different salt cores(pure salt core and mixed salt core) were fabricated and investigated. Pure salt core was composed of 100% NaCl and mixed salt core was made by mixtures of NaCl with MgO(1%), $Na_2B_4O_7$(2%), and talc(1%) as a binder or a strengthening agent. Salt cores were compacted to various theoretical density, heat treated, and then squeeze-cast with molten Al alloy(AC8A). The compression strength of salt cores were measured and the squeeze-cast products were examined for shape retention, infiltration of molten metal into the cores, and microstructures. The shape of salt core compacted at above 75% of the theoretical density was maintained stably. The higher theoretical density of salt cores gave higher compression strength, and the compression strength of mixed salt core was higher than that of pure salt core. Namely at 90% theoretical density, the compression strength of mixed salt core was $6.3 kg/mm^2$, compared to $4.6 kgmm^2$ for pure salt core. At a squeeze casting pressure of $1000 kg/cm^2$, molten Al alloy was infiltrated into pure salt core of under 85% of the theoretical density. At squeeze casting pressure of $1000 kg/cm^2$, only mixed salt core above 90% of the theoretical density were valid, but the shape of the core was altered in the case of pure salt core at 90% of theoretical density. A key factor for developing a salt core for squeeze casting process was estimated as the ultimate compressive strength of salt core.

시공이음부 발생에 따른 초고성능 콘크리트의 일체성을 확보하기 위해서는 그 특성을 수반함과 동시에 전단부착성능에 대한 정량적인 계면처리방법이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 이에, 본 연구는 초고성능 콘크리트 타설 시, 발생하는 시공이음부의 부착성능을 확보하기 위한 일환으로서 시공이음부 계면처리방법에 따른 전단부착성능 평가를 통하여 재료적인 측면에서의 합리적인 계면처리방법을 도출하고자 한다. 초고성능 콘크리트 배합은 180MPa의 배합강도를 사용하였으며, 계면처리방법으로는 MN, AC, GR-10-0, GR-20-0, GR-30-0, SH-30-5, SH-30-10으로써 총 7수준으로 설정하였다. 실험체는 $150{\times}150{\times}150mm$의 Size로 제작 후, 전단부착강도 평가를 위하여 Direct shear test를 실시하였다. 실험결과, 시공이음부 접합면에 대해 계면처리를 실시한 경우 부착성능이 향상되는 것을 확인하였으며, 접합부 단면적이 증가할수록 초고성능 콘크리트의 일체성 확보에 유리할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 콘크리트의 일체성을 확보하기 위해서는 접합면 단면적의 비율 및 요철의 깊이, 개수 등이 적절히 고려되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.
