The effects of casting variables and alloying elements on the fluidity of thin wall cast stainless steels were investigated. Melts were poured into the sand molds to produce thin wall test castings. The length of it was 245 mm and the thickness varied at the interval of 0.5 in the range of 1.6 to 2.6 mm. For the same casting condition, the fluidities of austenitic stainless steel, ferritic, precipitation hardenable and martensite ones were better in the order. The higher the pouring temperature, the shorter the pouring rate and the better the fluidity were. The fluidity was increased with the addition of Cr and decreased with W and Nb.

As the modern industrial processes become more complex, it is getting more difficult to model and control the processes. Naturally, an advanced type of DCS(Distributed Control System) with higher level functions is being sought. Advanced DCS is a DCS with advanced functions such as fault diagnosis, GPC(Generalized Predictive Control), NN(Neural Network), and Fuzzy Control. In this thesis, we have studied a fuzzy control algorithm for realizing an advanced DCS. Its algorithm is implemented in a form of function code which is a process control language, being used by the industrial engineers. To verify the realized function code of the fuzzy control, the function code is applied to a continuous casting process of the Pohang Iron & Steel Works in Kwangyang. The rules of the fuzzy control were collected via interviews of the field operators and their operation documents. Finally under a real-time operating system environment, usability of the function code of the fuzzy control is shown via simulation for the continuous casting process.

본 연구에서는 유한요소법을 적용한 수치해석을 이용하여 타이어 제조용 금형을 생산하기 위해 사용되는 주조재의 열적 특성에 관하여 조사해 보았다. 고 품질의 정밀도가 좋은 타이어를 제조하기 위해, 일반적으로 타이어 제조용 금형의 주조재로 많이 사용되고 있는 알루미늄 합금과 비교 대상으로 연강을 선정하여 각각의 주조재에 대한 응고과정에서의 온도분포와 응력분포 결과를 수치적으로 계산해 보고 결과를 예측해 보았다. 수치해석을 통한 결과에서, 알루미늄 합금을 사용한 금형의 냉각과정 동안의 온도분포는 연강에 비해 보다 더 안정적으로 나타나는 것을 확인하였으며, 응력분포 결과 또한 알루미늄 합금 금형이 연강에 비해 정밀도를 향상시키고 좋은 품질의 제품을 얻는 데 보다 나은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 금형의 온도분포와 응력분포는 금형의 냉각과정 동안 주조재의 초기 냉각온도에 의해 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 사료된다. 마지막으로, 이러한 수치해석에 의한 금형의 열적 특성 예측은 향후 고품질, 고정밀도의 금형 생산을 위한 예비성능평가 방법과 경제적 측면에서 매우 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

In this study, actual scale welding were conducted at the USC thermal power plant turbine and main steam pipe casting candidate mock up material 9Cr-1.5Mo-CoVNbNB steel(CB2) and 9Cr-0.5Mo-MVNbN steel(P92). And to evaluate the welding process for the actual production, mechanical property testes were conducted for the weld metal. The Mock-up welding condition successfully led to an excellent structural welding joint between casting and pipe material.

A fully coupled fluid flow, heat, and solute transport model was developed to investigate turbulent flow, solidification, and macrosegregation in a continuous casting process of steel slab with EMBR. Transport equations of mass, momentum, energy, and species for a binary iron-carbon alloy system were solved using a continuum model. The electromagnetic field was described by the Maxwell equations. A finite-volume method was employed to solve the conservation equations associated with appropriate boundary conditions. The effects of intensity of magnetic field and carbon segregation were investigated. The electromagnetic field reduces the velocity of molten flow in the mold and an increase in the percentage of C in steel results in a decrease of carbon segregation ratio.

A computer program which consists of pre-processor, main solidification simulator and post-processor has been developed for three dimensional solidification analysis of steel castings. The pre-processor is used for mesh generation in a small personal computing system. The modified finite difference method is adopted for the main solidification simulation algorithm. The post -processor graphically presents the simulation results and shows the formation of shrinkage defects. Several experiments on large steel castings in sand mold were carried out. The temperature variations in casting and mold with time are measured experimentally, and the results are compared with calculation results. Several numerical examples for the prediction of shrinkage cavity in large steel casting of SC42 and SCNCrM2 alloys are compared with experimental results. The effect of sleeve and chills on solidification patterns are also studied. Formation of shrinkage defects for the three cases of experimental castings are relatively well predicted by present model.

Inclusions in forged large steel ingots of plan carbon steel and tool steel are investigated using optical microscop observation and WDX analysis. The large nonmetallic inclusions which is over $30\sim300{\mu}m$ in their diameter were observed in the samples that has been no good on a nondestructive test. The most of the inclusions were consist of some kind of oxides, ${Al_2}{O_3}$, $SiO_2$, CaO, MgO in forms of particles and glassy with an iron particles. The experimental large steel ingot was cast with a pouring temperature which is about ten centigrade higher than the field standard. The inclusions were observed in the test ingot are the smaller than that was in a usual forged steel ingot and is spherical shape with a glassy agglomerated ${Al_2}{O_3}-SiO_2-CaO-MgO$ particle. The pouring temperature is affected on removing the nonmetallic inclusions during the solidification by a floating mechanism.
