The mechanism of the hydrogen gas pore formation was investigated in Lost Foam Casting of Al-alloy by reduced pressure test and real casting. The hydrogen gas pick-up was affected by the formed gas during the decomposition of polystyrene in addition to the liquid product. It depended on pouring temperature and a proper temperature of metal front gave the minimum hydrogen pick-up. At a low pouring temperature, the hydrogen went into the melt mainly from entrapped liquid product of polystyrene but pores were formed from the gas as well as the liquid product at a high pouring temperature. The mold flask evacuation down to 710torr decreased the gas porosity down by around 0.4% vol%. The entrapped decomposition product of polystyrene in the melt was observed through the visualization of filling behavior of Al alloy-melt with the high speed camera.

The transport phenomena in a wedge-shaped pool of twin-roll continuous caster are affected by the various operating parameters such as the melt-feed pattern, roll-gap thickness, melt-superheat, and casting speed. A computer program has been developed for analyzing the two-dimensional, steady conservation equations for transport phenomena during twin-roll continuous casting process in order to estimate the turbulent melt-flow, temperature fields, and solidification in the wedge-shaped pool. The turbulent characteristics of the melt-flow were considered using a low-Reynolds-number K-$\xi$ turbulence model. Based on the computer program, the effects of the different melt-feed patterns, roll-gap thicknesses, and superheats of melt on the variations of the velocity and temperature distributions, and the mushy solidification were examined. The results show that the liquidus line is located considerably at the upstream region, and in the lower region appear the well-mixed melt-flow and most widely developed mushy zone. Besides, the variation of melt-flow due to varying melt-feed patterns, affects mainly the liquidus line, and scarcely has effects on the solidus line in the outlet region.

To overcome the undesirable deformation, peeling off and geometrical restrictions which were mainly caused by differences in thermal expansion coefficients during the cladding of aluminum strip and stainless strip, new processing method based on vacuum die casting is designed and implemented in fabricating Fe-17wt%Cr steel (stainless steel). To increase cast-bonding ability, the surface of Fe-17wt%Cr steel is electrochemical etched to have optimum pit size (above 0.2 mm) and pit density (above 30%). The implementation of vacuum die casting by using surface treated stainless steel (Fe-17wt%Cr Steel) produces good trial products having acceptable cast-bonding ability. The enabling conditions for cast-bonding are pouring temperature $690^{\circ}C$, filling speed 30 m/sec and casting pressure $800\;kg/cm^2$. The microscopic observation of cast-bonded Al/Fe-17wt%Cr steel does not show any evidence of intermetallic compounds. The bonding strength of trial products is $150-400\;kg/cm^2$ and this is stronger than conventionally cladded metal having $30-70\;kg/cm^2$.

The proper parameters in a twin roll strip casting are important to obtain the stabilization of the Mg sheet. What is examined in this paper is the quantitative relationships of the important control parameters such as the roll speed, height of pool region, outlet size of nozzle, solidification profile and the final point of solidification in a twin roll strip casting Unsteady conservation equations were used for transport phenomena in the pool region of a twin roll strip casting in order to predict a velocity, temperature distributions of fields and a solidification process of molten magnesium. The energy equation of cooling roll Is solved simultaneously with the conservation equations of molten magnesium In order to consider the heat transfer through the cooling roil. The finite difference method (2-D) and the finite element method (2-D) are used in the analysis of pool region and cooling roil to reduce computing time and to improve the accuracy of calculation respectively.

Casting defects produced during the casting process seriously affect the mechanical properties of the resulting products, reduce the performance capabilities of the product, and also result in economic losses. Therefore, this paper mainly investigates the causes of defects and methods by which to reduce these defects stemming from molten metal flows in a runner system of the type widely used in the sand mold casting process. The flow characteristics of a molten alloy are difficult to observe during the actual casting process. For this reason, a water model was used to observe the flow in the casting process, and the flow in each case was recorded using high-speed cameras as part of the experimental process of this study. Several repetitive experiments were performed to improve the accuracy of the experimental results. The traditional casting system was modified according to the design rules proposed by Campbell, and the system was termed flow-adaptive gating system with a water model. Comparing the flow characteristics of traditional and adaptive gating systems with a water model shows that the bubbles in the water in the latter case are reduced more significantly than in the former case. A ceramic filter system was adapted to the flow-adaptive gating system to minimize the instability of the flow during filling, which occurs as the fluid velocity in the runner increases. In additional, the flow behavior with and without the filter system were compared. The water model system in this work was shown to be able to verify that the adaptation of the filter system brings improvements by stabilizing the flow and reducing the amount of bubbles in the runner system. Moreover, using the flow-adaptive runner system with the filter system leads to considerably stable flows in the runner system.

Al-2%Si-2%Mg alloy containing SiC particle in 20, $70{\mu}m$ were prepared by mean of squeeze casting with various pressure 50, 100, 150 and 220MPa respectively. The specimens were made by casting into $50{\Phi}{\times}100{\ell}$ mold under various squeeze conditions(pressures, pressurizing temperature, particle sizes). Mechanical properties(hardness, tensile strength, elongation and wear characteristics) were evaluated at room temperature with those various fabrication factors. It became feasible to make favorable Al-SiCp composite free from casting defects by the injection of Ar gas during melting and 100MPa pressure squeeze casting. However, pressure of 50MPa was not sufficient to avoid completely porosity formation as a result of precessing and shrinkage during solidification. As the particle size is smaller and the squeeze pressure is higher, the hardness and tensile strength at room temperature are higher. Cell size became smaller gradually with increase of squeeze pressure. With increase of squeeze pressure(MPa), wear behaviors of those composites were changed from adhesive into abrasive wear, and the tendency of above behavior became outstanding with increasing sliding speed. The chemical reaction(4Al＋3SiC${\rightarrow}$$Al_4C_3+3Si$) is more accelerated at interface between SiCp and matrix with increase of squeeze pressure. Therefore $Al_4C_3$ intercompound and Si peak intensity is increased at interface.

본 연구에서는 산업현장에서 널리 사용되고 있는 소형 유도전동기의 회전자를 생산공장에서 금형주조(die casting)로 제작 시 rotor core cast의 품질을 평가하기 위하여 주조해석 전용 프로그램을 사용하여 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 그 결과를 실험결과와 비교하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 첫째, 유도전동기 회전자의 고압 금형주조 시 고속으로 사출된 알루미늄 용탕의 충진 양상을 시간 경과에 따라 평가한 결과, 용탕은 하부 end ring 부를 먼저 충진하고 수평으로 이동하여 상부 end ring, core slot 부분을 충진하여 최종적으로 core slot 부분에서 충진이 완료된다. 둘째, mould 내부에서의 용탕의 충진 양상을 보면 상부 end ring, core slot 부분보다 하부 end ring 부분에서 용탕의 유동에 의한 와류가 발생하여 결함 발생이 예측되었으며, 현장 실험결과 하부 end ring 부 단면에서 작고 큰 다수의 결함이 발견되었다. 셋째, 금형주조 작업으로 양호한 품질의 회전자를 제작하기 위해서는 cast 형상 변경이나 작업조건 등 추가적인 연구가 필요하며 이에 대해서는 추후에 보고할 예정이다.

최근의 3D게임이나 가상현실을 위한 지형 시각화 응용에서는 사실적인 장면을 렌더링 하기 위해 고화질 영상을 실시간에 제공하는 GPU기반의 광선투사법을 이용한다. 이 방법은 지형데이터의 크기가 증가할수록 샘플링 해야 하는 텍셀의 개수가 증가하기 때문에 렌더링 속도가 저하된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 GPU에서 사진트리를 기반으로 수행되는 바운딩 박스 세분화를 이용하여 빈 공간이 제거된 바운딩 박스를 생성하고 이를 이용하여 광선투사법을 가속화하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 각 광선마다 빈 공간 도약을 위해 트리를 탐색하여 중복된 탐색연산을 수행해야 했던 기존의 방법과 달리 바운딩 박스를 이용하여 탐색 연산을 단 1번만 수행하도록 하여 수행속도를 가속화 하였다.
