An integrated computer program consisting of a pre-processor, main solver, and post-processor was developed for the design of large steel castings. The pre-processor, based on the AutoCAD, enables the user to produce approval drawings, casting design drawings and mesh diagrams in sequence using a personal computer. In the main solver, two numerical models were employed; one models the fluid flow during mold filling, and the other models the heat transfer and solidification. The post-processor can be used to present simulation results such as flow pattern, mold filling sequences, solidification times, temperature gradients and location of shrinkage defects by color graphics. In order to validate the applicability of the present integrated program, a series of experiments on simple-shaped steel castings were carried out. After the validation of the present model, it was applied to the casting design of the large steel anchor of an SC42 alloy. Various solidification parameters such as a temperature distribution and a solidification time in the casting and the mold were compared with those obtained experimentally. Simulated results predicting shrinkage defects were in good agreement with those obtained experimentally. It was found that the present method can be successfully applied to the quantitative casting design for complex-shaped large steel castings.

Solidification analysis was conducted on large steel castings and ingots by a modified finite difference method. Auto-mesh generation system was developed for improving the application of the computer analysis system to casting disign. Combined use of the prediction parameters, solidification time and temperature gradient, and an auxiliary parameter, shrinkage potential, were used to predict the formation of shrinkage defects. Several examples on the prediction of shrinkage cavity by this method were campared with the experimental reslts. It was found that a quantitative design of large steel castings and ingots can be made by the computer aided analysis of solidification process.

The year 2010 is the 60th anniversary commemorating the Korean War. China intervened in the Korean War with the logics such as "To Resist the U.S.'s Aggression and Aid North Korea," "Save Endangered Home & defend Nation," and "If the Lips Are Gone, the Teeth Will Be Exposed to the Cold or If One of Them Falls, the Other is in Danger." However, China had a deep and long connection with North Korea through 1st Chinese Civil War, war against Japan imperialism, and 2nd Chinese Civil War. China has consulted with Kim Il-sung on his invasion of South Korea at the initial stage of development and played a casting vote role in the execution of the invasion plan. During the Korean War, the PLA supported the North Korea's regime by its action, and made the Korea Peninsula divide into two semi-permanently. Even after the war, China continues to maintain relations with North Korea by helping North Korea build the Kim Il-sung's Kingdom. Currently, whenever any issue related to North Korea rises in the international society, China definitely gets involved in those issues and exercises its power. Conditionally 'either armed aggression or, and wartime' in North Korea, China would follow the "Clause of Military Auto Intervention." In addition, China is very likely to establish refugee camps for North Koreans in the Northeastern-Three-Province and to provide rear bases or guerrilla camps for pro-Chinese sects. Furthermore, voluntarily playing a role as spokesman of North Korean Regime in the international society, China will exercise enormous influence on the reunification of the Korean Peninsula.

본 논문은 전동형 모터의 Rotor의 자동 성형을 위한 자동화된 주조기 개발에 대한 결과이다. 개발된 자동화된 Rotor 전용 주조기는 수평형에 비해 금형의 크기가 약 1/2정도 이므로 금형 체결력이 반감되고, 기계 구조는 매우 작아진다. 그리고 Al용탕이 사출되는 과정에서 Spool -> Runner -> Gate -> Cavity(제품)에 이르기까지의 Runner를 최소화하여 재용융을 위한 에너지의 비용 절감을 할 수가 있다. 금형 구조가 간단하므로 금형비가 저렴하여 다품종 소량생산에 매우 유리하다. 개발제품은 수직형 구조로 알루미늄 용탕의 윗면의 공기가 금형의 유로 상측에 위치하므로 공기(gas)가 먼저 배출되어 사출(주조)후 Rotor 성형부에 남아 있는 기포가 최소화된다. 그러므로 충진도가 높아진다. Rotor 코아(규소강)가 크더라도 수직형은 금형내에 삽입(Inset)하기가 쉽고 또한, 제품의 착탈 부위와 사출부위가 다르기 때문에 작업성, 안전성이 우수하고 생산성이 매우 높다. 수직형은 충진 밀도가 매우 높고 밀도가 균일하기 때문 Rotor의 회전 소음, 진동에 대한 품질이 매우 우수하다. 따라서 고효율, 고품질의 전동모터 Rotor 제품 생산에 매우 효과적인 장비라 할 수 있다.

Metal foam is a porous or cellular structure material and representative property is a very high porosity. Foamed materials have very special properties such as sound, vibration, energy and impact absorption capacity. Especially this properties are widely used for safety demands of architecture, auto and aircraft industry. But metal foam need to increased its compression strength and hardness. This study were researched about Al-Si alloy foams with variation amount of Si contents for their fabrication and properties such as porosity, cell structure, microstructure and mechanical properties. The result are that the range of pore size is 2~4 $mm{\phi}$, the high porosity are 88%, high yield strength is 1.8MPa, the strain ratio is 60~70% and vickers hardness is 33.1~50.6.
