On purpose of relative comparison of between air-vent attached pattern and non attached one, casting tests were accomplished by castability analysis unrig wax screen mesh pattern. Experimental specimens are divided Into 4groups. 1) Air-vent attached pattern with high casting pressure(coil spring type centrifugal casting machine 2.5turn). 2) Air-vent attached pattern with low casting pressure(coil spring type centrifugal casting machine 1.5turn). 3) Air vent non attached pattern with high casting pressure(coil spring type centrifugal casting machine 2.5turn). 4) Air-vent non attached pattern with low casting pressure(coil spring type centrifrgal casting machine 1.5turn). The main results are as follows : 1) The condition of high casting pressure no.1, no.3 were showed perfect castability. 2) The condition of low-casting pressure, there is a wide difference between no.2, no.4 group. Castability of no.2 group preferable to no.4 group(p<0.001). 3) Low casting pressure and complex shape cause the low-castability. So it is recommanded that use of air-vent in case of complex shaped wax pattern with low easting pressure.

The effects of the initial balancing pressure, filling pressure and maximum build-up pressure on the casting characteristics of the thick-wall thickness casting during the counter-pressure casting process were investigated. Water model experiment and a computer simulation were carried out to evaluate the characteristics during the filling and solidification stages in counter-pressure casting (CPC); as a reference, the low-pressure casting (LPC) process was used. The average dendrite cell size decreased with an increase in the solidification rate and maximum build-up pressure. A turbulent flow occurred during the filling stage of the LPC process, resulting in the formation of inner gas, while a lamellar flow pattern dominated during the CPC process and was more evident with an increase in the initial balancing pressure, improving the mechanical properties of the castings.

In this study, we develop the lower pressure die casting with rheo-forming process of A356 aluminum alloy and vacuum system which can control the crystal size and obtain the high strengthened-light material. Using this process, we fabricate the thin plate for bipolar plate through the low pressure die casting with electromagnetic stirring and vacuum-evacuation which can control the crystal grain by electromagnetic stirring. Thin plate ($110mm{\times}130mm{\times}1mm$) is fabricated by this process. The average Vickers hardness of thin plate is about 77 HV.

In this study, 18-inch wheels, magnesium alloy AZ91D was developed and we compared overseas go on sale magnesium wheels and same specifications of the aluminum wheels mechanical properties. Prototype 18-inch magnesium wheels by a low-pressure casting method to achieve the same specifications of aluminum wheels and reduced 26% of the weight, the new edition of magnesium wheels compared to the same level of elongation, tensile strength, hardness. Casting and heat treatment process to improve future need to improve the yield strength is expected.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of sprue length and casting pressure on the relative castability of the base metal alloys, commonly used to make porcelain metal restoration. Samples of total 30 were constucted and devided into 6 groups according to three variables (low, medium, high). The total number of complety cast squares were counted, verified and recorded. The results of this 1. main effect of casting pressure was statistically significant.(P<0.05). 2. main effect of sprue length was not statistically significant.

Die casting is "a process in which molten metal is injected at high velocity and pressure into a mold(die) cavity". Casting with smooth surfaces, high dimensional precision, complicated shapes, and reduced weight can be obtained using this process. But this process is susceptible to casting defects such as porosities, scattered chilled layers, hard spots, etc. For preventing casting defects, we developed "low-velocity high pressure die casting technology", "squeeze die casting technology", "heat insulating sleeve lubricant technology", and "direct pouring technology". The "direct pouring technology" is useful for producing molten metal without oxide contamination. It consists of a pumping system which supplies pure molten metal to the die casting machine. By using this technology, we have successfully reduced oxide contamination in castings to 1/20 of that of our previous castings.

A multi-purpose code MAGMA was employed for mold design and process control in producing Al wheel by lowpressure die casting. Three-dimensional solid modeling was followed by mesh generation of casting and molds(top, bottom and side). The simulation of stability of casting cycle time, mold filling simulation with pressure variation from P1 to P2, solidification simulation by solidification time and feeding criteria, and temperature distribution of molds during processes were studied in this research. The thermal stability of molds was attained after 5 cycles when molds were preheated at $400^{\circ}C$. The pressure increase from P1 to P2 for mold filling was evaluated as slightly higher, and 6 seconds were taken for the mold filling. The cycle time was believed to be designed properly judged from the solidification time of casting and open/close time of molds.

The horizontal cold chamber pressure die casting produces a variety of net shape, complicate-geometry castings with desired mechanical properties. dimensional tolerance, and surface finish. However, top quality castings can be achieved only when optimal performance of thecold chamber (shot sleeve )and plunger is maintained druing the molten metla injection phase of the process. Unforturately, inreality , shot sleeves deteriorate fast and sometimes fail catastrophically due to incorrect design. These early and unexpected failures of shot sleeves cost die casters money and productiivity. To prevent promature failures of shoe sleeves major faulure mechanisms were investigated. with the aid of analyticla solutions robust design criteria for shot sleeves have been developed. The data directly obtained from failed shot sleeves in the die casting industry for automotive parts, support a strong correlation between design and filures. by applying these design criterial we expected premature faulures of shot sleeves can be avoided in die casting industry.

This paper focuses on a rheo-forming of am part fabricated by electromagnetic stirring system (EMS). This forming process take place under high pressure of high pressure die casting and thin walled casting is possible. Furthermore, the productivity is better than low pressure die casting because of shorter cycle time. The advantages of rheo-forming are performed in the semi solid state with laminar flow and the gas content is low, which makes welding possible. Therefore this research applies for arm part with EMS and has investigated the mechanical properties after T6 and T5 heat-treatment.
