Al-Si alloys were solidified in a rotating cylindrical mold by a vertical centrifugal casting process. Under a certain casting condition, there are four distinct zones such as the chill zone, the primary fine columnar zone, the equiaxed zone, and the secondary coarse columnar zone from the mold wall. The columnar-equiaxed transition (CET) and the equiaxed-columnar transition (ECT) were measured as functions of solute content, flow rate (mold velocity), pouring temperature and mold temperature. Within the critical value of solute content, as the flow rate increases, the columnar-equiaxed transition were found, but not the equiaxed-columnar transition. The aspect ratio of the primary columnar zone was more affected by the solute content than the flow rate. However the aspect ratio of the equiaxed zone was more affected by the flow rate than the solute content. The aspect ratio of the secondary columnar zone was affected by both the flow rate and the solute content.

일반적으로 재료의 응고조직은 주상정과 등축정 수지상 영역으로 이루어지는데 이것은 제품의 기계적, 물리적 성질과 밀접한 관계를 가지기 때문에 주상정-등축정 천이에 관한 많은 이론적 연구가 행하여지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 J.D. Hunt에 의하여 일방향응고시 주상정앞에서의 핵생성과 결정성장조건을 이용하여 구하여진 해석학적 주상정-등축정 조건식을 바탕으로 응고속도에 따라 변하는 분배계수와 액상선기울기를 적용하여 수정된 조건식을 구하였다. 그리고 Al-Cu합금에 대하여 응고변수인 핵생성수, 핵생성온도, 합금의 조성, 응고속도 온도기울기에 따른 천이현상의 변화를 조사하였다.

The effect of microstructure on mechanical behavior for Ti-6Al-4V alloy was studied. Two different kinds of specimens are prepared using heat treatments (rolled plate, $1050^{\circ}C)$ in order to Produce different microstructures. Various kinds of mechanical tests such as hardness, tensile, fatigue and fretting fatigue tests are performed for evaluation of mechanical properties with the changes of microstructures. Through these tests, the following conclusions are observed: 1) Microstructures are observed as equiaxed and $widmanst{\ddot{a}}ten$ microstructures respectively. 2) Impact absorbed energy is superior for the equiaxed microstructure, and the hardness and tensile strength are superior for the $widmanst{\ddot{a}}ten$ microstructure. 3) The fatigue endurance of $widmanst{\ddot{a}}ten$ microstritcture shows higher value than that of the equiaxed microstructure. 4) The fatigue endurance in fretting condition was reduced about $50{\%}$ from that of the non-fretting condition.

The effects of a -phase morphology on the static and dynamic deformation behavior of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy was investigated in this study. Static tension test, static and dynamic tension test and hot compression test were conducted on three microstructures of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, i.e., equiaxed, widmanstatten and bimodal microstructures. Fracture surfaces of all three microstructures represented ductile fracture appearance, though the formation of adiabatic shear bands was noticed at dynamic torsion test. The susceptibility of forming adiabatic shear bands was greatest in the equiaxed microsoucture and lowest in the bimodal microstructure, which was evidenced by hot compression test.

The microstructural evolution during the equal channel angular pressing of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was investigated using the transmission electron microscopy (TEM). ECA pressing was carried out isothermally with route C at $600^{\circ}C$ for two types of initial microstructure, i.e., equiaxed and Widmanstatten microstructures. At an initial stage of ECA pressing, the equiaxed microstructure showed more uniform flow than the Widmanstatten microstructure. However, both microstructures were significantly refined revealing nearly equiaxed grains of 0.3$mu extrm{m}$ in diameter with high angle grain boundaries after 4 passes of ECA pressing. These ultrafine gains were found to be stable with little grain growth, when annealed up to $600^{\circ}C$ for 1hr.

The characteristics of mechanical behavior were estimated for Ti-6Al-4V alloy with four kinds of microstructure prepared with heat treatments. For this study, impact test, tensile test and fatigue crack growth test were performed, and then compared mechanical properties on the four microstructures. Furthermore, for quantitative evaluation, fractal dimensions of crack pass were obtained using the box counting method. The main results obtained are summarized as follows. (1) The microstructures exhibited equiaxed microstructure, bimodal-microstructure and lamellar microstructure by heat treatment. (2) The impact absorbed energy and elongation is superior in the bimodal-microstructure, and the hardness and tensile strength are superior in the lamellar microstructure. (3) The fatigue crack growth rate is similar to all microstructures in the low ${\Delta}K$ region. The fatigue crack growth rate of equiaxed microstructure is fastest, and that of lamellar microstructure is lowest in the high ${\Delta}K$ region. (4) The fractal dimension D of lamellar microstructure is higher then that of the equiaxed microstructure and bimodal microstructure.

For Pb-20wt%Cu alloys, severe macrosegregation due to density difference of the resulting phases in normal directional solidification has been minimized and a uniformly aligned dendritic structure has been produced by axially rotating the sample of 5mm diameter in conjunction with horizontal directional solidification. Under the constant growth velocity of $20{\mu}m/sec$, increasing the rotation rate from 0.18 to 12rpm results in a transition from an aligned columnar to an equiaxed Cu-dendritic structure. With a constant rotation rate of 0.18rpm, increasing the growth velocity from 10 to $50{\mu}m/sec$ also has promoted a transition from columnar to equiaxed structure.

Plasma spray forming is recently explored as a near-net-shape fabrication route for ultra-high temperature metals and ceramics. In this study, monolithic tungsten has been produced using an atmospheric plasma spray forming and subsequent high temperature sintering. The spray-formed tungsten preform from different processing parameters has been evaluated in terms of metallurgical aspects, such as density, oxygen content and hardness. A well-defined lamellae structure was formed in the as-sprayed deposit by spreading of completely molten droplets, with incorporating small amounts of unmelted/partially-melted particles. Plasma sprayed tungsten deposit had 84-87% theoretical density and 0.2-0.3 wt.% oxygen content. Subsequent sintering at 2500$^{\circ}C$ promoted the formation of equiaxed grain structure and the production of dense preform up to 98% theoretical density.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the high temperature deformation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy and to predict the final microstructure under given forming conditions. Equiaxed and widmanstatten of Ti-6Al-4V alloys were prepared as initial microstructure and the compression tests were performed to obtain the flow curves at high temperatures (700∼1100$^{\circ}C$) and various strain rates (10$\^$-4/∼10$^2$/s). Form the results of compression test various parameters such as strain rate sensitivity (m) and activation energy (Q) were calculated and used to establish constitutive equations. To predict the final microstructure after forming, finite element analysis was performed considering the microstructural parameters such as the grain size and the volume fraction of second phase.
