The effects of risering design and alloying element on the formation of defects such as external depression, primary and secondary shrinkage cavity in gray cast iron were investigated. Two types of risering design for the cylindrically step-wise specimen, No. 1(progressive solidification) and No. 2(directional solidification) risering designs, were prepared and five different alloy compositions were casted. In the No. 1 risering design, external depression or primary shrinkage cavity due to liquid contraction was observed in all the specimens from ISO 150 to ISO 350. The primary shrinkage cavity was located right under the top surface or connected to the top surface, and was characterized by smooth surface. Its size increased with an increase in ISO number. However, neither secondary shrinkage cavity nor swollen surface was observed in all the castings. In the No.2 risering design, neither primary shrinkage cavity nor secondary shrinkage cavity was observed in all the specimens due to proper risering design. A swollen surface was also not observed in all the castings with the application of pep-set mold.

The effects of risering design and alloying element on the formation of defects such as external depression, primary and secondary shrinkage cavities in ductile cast iron were investigated. Two types of risering design for the cylindrically step-wise specimen, No. 1(progressive solidification) and No. 2(directional solidification) risering designs, were prepared and six different alloy compositions were casted. In the No. 1 risering design, external depression or primary shrinkage cavities due to liquid contraction were observed in all the specimens from SG 10 to SG 60. The defects caused by liquid contraction seemed to be more affected by risering design than alloying elements. The secondary shrinkage cavities were also observed in all the specimens but a swollen surface was not observed in all the castings. The primary shrinkage cavities were located right under the top surface or connected to the top surface, and were characterized by smooth surfaces. On the other hand, the secondary shrinkage cavities were positioned in the thermal center of the specimen steps 3 and 4, and characterized by rough surfaces. In the No. 2 risering design, no external depression or primary shrinkage cavities due to liquid contraction were observed in all the specimens from SG 10 to SG 60. However, the secondary shrinkage cavities were formed in the thermal center of specimens SG 40, 50 and 60. Like the No. 1 risering design, a swollen surface was not observed in all the castings.

The effect of processing and designing variables such as pouring temperature(1400 or $1500^{\circ}C$), inoculation and risering design(T and H type) on the formation of defects such as external depression, primary and secondary shrinkage cavities in GC150 gray cast iron was investigated. In T type risering design, external depression or primary shrinkage cavity due to liquid contraction was formed in all of the eight cases. Regardless of its modulus value, the riser could not function properly in T type risering design because directional solidification was not promoted toward the riser. On the other hand, the four cases of H type risering design in which thermal sleeves were set onto the risers produced defect-free castings. In both types of the risering designs, secondary shrinkage cavity caused by solidification contraction was not observed in the casting because of the expansion pressure due to graphite precipitation and the application of rigid pep-set mold. The degree of external depression or primary shrinkage cavity was reduced with lowered pouring temperature. The effect of inoculation was diminished because of the high carbon equivalent of GC 150 gray cast iron.

회주철 및 구상흑연주철에 있어서 압탕방안 및 합금원소가 수축결함의 생성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 두 종류의 압탕방안으로 실린더형상의 계단상시편을 제조하였으며 회주철의 경우 5조성(ISO 150, 200, 250, 300, 350), 구상흑연주철의 경우 6조성(SG 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60)을 사용하였다. 회주철 및 구상흑연주칠 공히, 1차 압탕방안의 경우 액상수축에 의한 1차수축결함이 후육부의 표면에 발생하였으며 수축결함의 내면은 매끄러웠다. 회주철의 경우 응고수축에 의한 2차수축결함은 생성되지 않았으나 구상흑연주철의 경우 모든 시편의 내부열점에 2차수축결함이 발생하였고 그 내면은 거칠었다. 2차압탕방안의 경우 회주철의 모든 시편에서는 1차 및 2차수축결함이 발생되지 않았다. 그러나 구상흑연주철의 경우 탄화물 생성원소가 첨가된 SG 40, 50 및 60의 3조성에서 2차수축결함이 열점에 생성되었다. 견고한 ���V주형을 사용하였기 때문에 주형벽이동으로 인한 표면팽창은 어느 경우에도 관찰되지 않았다.
