The effects of three minor elements, S, Ce and Bi, on the inoculation ability and fading behavior of 1.0 wt%Ba-Fe-Si were investigated through thermal analysis. The performance of 1.0 wt%Ba-Fe-Si inoculant was better and more consistant at the high temperature range of $1,450{\sim}1,500^{\circ}C$ than that of low one of $1,300{\sim}1,400^{\circ}C$. That was improved with individual addition of three minor elements. The optimum amount of addition was 1.0% of the weight of inoculant added, respectively. That was improved also by the simultaneous addition of two or three kinds of minor elements. Even though worse with the addition of two kinds of them simultaneously than with individual addition, that was improved with the simultaneous addition of all three kinds over that with the individual one.

The effect of carbon equivalent on the fading behavior of hypoeutectic ductile cast iron was investigated. The carbon content was slightly increased right after graphite spheroidization treatment and remained almost constant with holding at $1,490^{\circ}C$ after 4 minute. The residual magnesium content was decreased slowly with holding. The empirical equation expressing the relationship between this and holding time was proposed ; $C=C_o-P{\times}t$. The proportionality constant, P, was inversely proportional to carbon content.

This study is the experimental results on the applicability of the super flowing concrete, which is the pre-cast concrete, to various cases. The primary purpose of this study is to verify the demolding strength, the handling strength of the super flowing concrete at various curing conditions, and the site quality control of the DWS (Daewoo Multi-Room Modular Construction System). From the experimental works, required strength and curing cycles are satisfied. Furthermore site quality control details and quality of the pre-cast concrete using the super flowing concrete are obtained. From now on, this study may suggest how to apply the super flowing concrete for common circumstance.

An in vitro study was performed to evaluate adaptation of custom direct, custom indirect, and prefabricated post system on 15 extracted upper central incisors. 15 specimens were prepared and equally devided into 3 groups under random sampling. Each group of 5 cast posts was made with custom direct, custom indirect, and prefabricated post core method. Gap between inner wall of the dentin and outer wall of the cast post was measured on electron microphotographic prints at x500 magnification. The result were as follows ; 1. No significant difference of adaptation at cervical portion was found between each method. 2. Prefabricated post core method had poor adaptation compared with other methods. 3. Even distribution of adaptation was found in custom direct method between each portion. 4. Prefabricated post core method showed remarkable difference in adaptation between each portion.

Exterior insulation board in cast-in-place concrete form system could reduce construction period and improve quality in apartment construction. However, the method is progressed with insulation and concrete frame works at the same time, then risk is increased in duration control and quality management. Therefore, this paper analyzed risk factors through FMEA method. We found that the key risk factors delaying schedule was insulation material that soaked in the rain and quality defects on the insulation material joint. Based on this research, the risk management approach should be developed for improvement of method activation.

Transformer failures are mostly due to partial discharges (PDs) caused by the deteriorated insulation. It is, therefore, important to monitor PD occurrence in insulation system and prevent their deterioration. The presented paper deals with a PD detection method by a capacitive probe, which easily apply to cast - resin dry - type transformers. The PD detection system consists of a capacitive probe and a low noise amplifier having the frequency bandwidth of 500 $Hz{\sim}30$ MHz. In the experimental set-up, sensitivity of the system is 7.16 mV/pC.

The surface treatments. Chrome/Manganese and Modified Chrome Pickle, that are treated to improve the anti-corrosion property which is needed to increased the probability of prototype product enabled the sand cast Magnesium test specimens to have better corrosion resistance than non-treated one. Sand cast Magnesium specimens which was treated only with chemical conversion coating had same corrosion resistance with the Steel specimens plated by Zinc, and the another one that had the finishing treatment(painting) worked on the chemical surface treatment had the corrosion resistance property to meet to FPO-3 requirement. We also investigated the multiple finishing system(chemical surface treatment + 3 coating) to test the severe condition that magnesium should to endure.

Precast-cast insitu concrete bridge construction is widely practiced for small to medium span structures. These bridges consist of precast pre-stressed concrete beams of various cross-sections with a cast in-situ reinforced concrete slab. The connection between the beams and the slab is via shear links often included during the manufacturing process of the beams. This form of construction is attractive as it provides for standardisation, reduced formwork and construction time. The assessment of the integrity of shear connectors in existing bridges is a major challenge. A procedure for assessment of shear connectors based on vibration testing and finite element model updating is proposed. The technique is applied successfully to a scaled model bridge model and an existing bridge structure.

It is important not only to reduce the casting defects of piston but also to improvement in the mechanical properties(hardness) of piston for the air compressor. The blow hole is typical casting defects in the conventional cast of aluminium alloy(AC8A-T6) piston. Because of the heat treatment method, mechanical properties of the aluminium alloy for piston was decided on the heat treatment method and cycle. Therefore, we tested on the development of mechanical properties and on the casting defects of piston for the air compressor in accordance with the heat treatment and casting condition. After the heat treatment and casting was carried out as several times, and was compared with the imported piston. As a result of several investigations; microstructure, hardness and casting defects of piston was changed under the influence of the heat treatment and casting method. When the cooling rate was controlled and the uni-cast method used, it bas the same mechanical properties and microstructure.

In this study, a strength analysis was performed to assess die-cast aluminum alloy brake pedals as an improved alternative to wrought alloys. Aluminum brake pedal shapes are considered to be suitable for the die-casting process. The strength criterion of Volvo trucks was used as the criterion for the pedal strength. The results of this analysis showed that the frame thickness of the aluminum brake pedal must be increased from 12 mm to 18 mm to have a strength superior to that of a steel brake pedal. Additionally, the stress and weight of the aluminum brake pedal were found to be approximately 24% and 26% lower than those of the steel brake pedal, respectively. Mounting tests and strength assessments verified that the proposed die-cast aluminum alloy brake pedal demonstrated sufficient strength.
