연속 주조 공정에서 설정한 속도로 주편을 인발하는 스트랜드 구동롤에 인발력이 적절하게 분배가 되지 않으면 주형 레벨의 주기적인 변동을 유발시킴과 동시에 주편의 품질을 저하하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 주편의 속도를 제어함과 동시에 각 구동롤에 운전자가 원하는 비율로 인발력을 분배할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 전동기에 작용하는 토크 전류를 상위 제어기로 귀환하여 평균 토크 전류를 산출하고 각 구동롤 전동기의 토크 전류와 비교하여 전동기의 속도 기준값을 미소하게 변경함으로써 각 구동롤 전동기의 토크 전류가 평균 토크 전류에 추종하도록 하여 인발력을 분배한다. 그리고 과도상태 개선을 위하여 안티와인더업(anti-wind up) 제어기를 가진 인발력 제어기를 적용하였으며, 제안된 알고리즘의 확인을 위하여 포스코의 시험연주기에 적용하여 우수성을 입증하였다.

Hyper-eutectic Al-17.5wt%Si alloy bars of 25 mm in diameter were produced by horizontal continuous casting process. Effect of both casting speed and primary Si refiner (AlCuP) on microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy have been investigated. With increasing a weight fraction of AlCuP, the average primary Si size decreased down to $20 {\mu}m$. On the contrary, there was no notable changes of microstructure and primary Si size according to the casting speed in the experimental range of this study, indicating that the cooling rate should be increased to optimize and refine microstructure and primary Si size. The experimental results including hardness, tensile strength and wear resistance tests of the processed alloy bars showed a good possibility to develop the high performance wear resistant Al-Si alloy.

For the fast dry of the aqueous tape, the process which water was replaced by organic solvent was proposed. So-called, it was the solvent washing dry, Three organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, and acetone) were selected for the washing solvent. The weight loss of the washed tapes was measured to evaluate the dry rate of the tapes and dried tapes were examined the generation of the cracks with the variations of the organic solvent and the washing time. Methanol, ethanol, and acetone were all available organic solvents for this method. The tapes washed in methanol, ethanol, and acetone were dried rapidly for twenty minutes. After thirty minutes, the weight losses were not any more. The solvent of the lower surface tension can decreases the crack of dried tape. If solvent substitutes water completely, though it was fast dried, crack can be eliminated. The tape casting system was designed for the solvent washing dry and prepared. An homogeneous tape was established by continuous tape casting process.

There are some methods that have been used to manage a degasing process in recent years, such as an injection method that uses aluminum molten metal powder and chemicals supplier and input method that supplies argon and nitrogen, or chlorine gas by using a gas blow-tube. However, these methods show some problems, and it shows that it is a difficult process to handle, pollution due to producing a lot of toxic gases like chlorine and fluoride gas, irregular effects, and lowering work efficiency due to the excessive processing time. The problems that are the most fatal are the producing a lot of sludge due to the reaction of aluminum molten metal with chemicals, loss of metals, and decreasing the life of refractory materials. In order to solve these problems, this paper develops a technology that is related to aluminum continuous casting molten metal and monolithic degasing apparatus. A degasing apparatus developed in this study improved the existing methods and prevented environmental pollution with smokeless, odorless, and harmlessness by using a new method that applies argon and nitrogen gas in which the methods used in the West and Japan are eliminated. The method developed in this study decreases the molten metal processing and settling time compared to the existing methods and improves the workers' health, safety, and environment because there is no pollution in processes.

전기로 제강공정에서 연속주조 조업 완료 후 ladle에 잔존하는 슬래그의 헌열과 슬래그 중 잔존 CaO를 활용하기 위해 전기로 출강 후 ladle 상부에 슬래그를 투입하여 Ladle Furnace(LF) 공정에서의 전력과 생석회의 사용량을 저감하는 공정이 연구되어 산업현장에서 활용되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 공정은 LF 공정과 연속주조 공정상 시점이 맞지 않으면 재활용율이 낮아진다. 슬래그 재활용율을 높이기 위해서 시점이 맞지 않는 경우 ladle의 슬래그를 슬래그 포트에 미리 부은 후 재활용하는 방법에 대해서 LF 조업 영향성을 분석하였다. Ladle 용융 슬래그를 재활용 방법에 대해 열역학 프로그램 Factsage 8.3에서 FSsteel(steel database)와 FToxid(oxide database)를 활용하여 슬래그 조성에 대한 액상화율을 계산하였고, 재활용 방법에 따라 각 10heats 조업 적용을 통해 슬래그 중 탈황능과 LF 조업성에 대해서 비교하였다. 그 결과 연속주조 조업 완료 후 바로 ladle에 슬래그를 재활용하는 방법에서 전력 사용량이 0.3MWh 낮고, LF 조업시간은 1.2분 단축되었으며, 탈황율은 5.8% 높은 결과를 얻었다.

Twin-roll process is a relatively new continuous casting process which can produce high-quality strip products directly, and solidification rate can reach $10^3$ to $10^4$ K/s, leading to fine and uniform microstructures with enhanced mechanical properties. The strip casting condition for producing fine Al-Sn alloy strip was obtained experimentally, and defects appearing on the strip was examined. Crack formation and surface quality of the strip was found to depend mainly on process parameters such as melt temperature, roller gap and rolling speed. Sn structure of network type was observed in Al-20Sn and Al-40Sn alloy strips, and cell spacing of Al-40Sn alloy was smaller than that of Al-20Sn. Banding strength of the heat treated specimens increased with increasing of soaking time and temperature, and bonding strength of Al-20Sn alloy was more superior than that of Al-40Sn alloy. However wear resistance of Al-40Sn alloy contained large amount of soft Sn which possess good anti-friction characteristics was superior than that of Al-20Sn alloy.

In the continuous casting process, molten metal contacts the mold wall and the molten metal surface is subject to the mold oscillation. The mold oscillation results in the oscillation marks on the surface of solidified steel, which has undesirable effects on the quality of slabs. In order to reduce the oscillation marks by achieving soft contact of molten metal with the mold surface, alternating magnetic field is applied to the surface of molten metal. However, if the magnetic field strength becomes too strong, the melt flow induced by the magnetic field. causes the instability of the molten metal surface, which has also the bad influence on the slab quality. Therefore, it is very important to choose the optimal position of the inductor coil and the optimal level of electric power to minimize the surface defects. In the present work, as a first step toward the optimization problem of the process, numerical studies are performed to investigate the effects of coil position and the electric power level on the meniscus shape and the flow field. As numerical tools, the boundary integral equation method(BIEM) is used for the magnetic field analysis and the finite difference method (FDM) with orthogonal grid generation is used for the flow analysis.

Microstructure and characteristics of the SiCp/Al-4.5wt%Cu-1wt%Mg composites fabricated by the combination of the compocasting and the pressurized continuous casting process, which is one of the processes to decrease the limitations of the size, and shops of the products, are investigated. The main results are as follows: 1) the SiCp/Al alloy matrix composites can be made continuously 2) as the amount of SiCp addition increases; (1) the degree of directional solidification of matrix structure decreases, and that of SiCp dispersion improves, (2) wear resistance improves, and especially these composites show the excellent wear resistance under the high sliding speed and high final load condition, (3) wear mechanism of these composites is changed from adhesive wear into abrasive wear, and the tendency of that becomes outstanding with increasing sliding speed.

Directional solidification of Al-Ti peritetic alloys was carried out using Upward Continuous Casting Process. The morphology of a solid-liquid interface and solidification microstructures were investigated under various crystal growing conditions. The experimental results were compared with those attained by the Bridgman method. The cell spacing of the Al-Ti peritetic alloys and the primary dendrite arm spacing of the Al-Ti peritetic alloys decreased with an increase in pulling speed. The primary ${\beta}$ phase of the Al-Cr and Al-Ti peritectic alloys did not appear in solidification microstructures because of the depleted solute contents in the melt ahead of the solid-liquid interface.

A numerical analysis has been performed solidification problem using the fixed grid-enthalpy method with enthalpy-porosity relation. A modified standard $k-\varepsilon$ model was applied to describe the influence of turbulent flow. Computational procedures are based on the finite volume method and the non-staggered grid system. Comparisons with the different three experimental results show that applying a modified standard $k-\varepsilon$model in mushyzone is better than the previous computation results. This paper includes another EMBR's influences such as change of velocity field, Increasement of temperature and dispersion of flow out of nozzle into the flow field. These EMBR's influences are compared to case without EMBR.
