Improving furnace efficiency is a high priority need for aluminum, glass, steel and other metal casting industries. Oxy-fuel combustion is considered to be one of the most effective method to improve thermal efficiency and reduce $NO_x$, SOx and $CO_2$ emissions for high temperature furnaces. The characteristics of an oxy-fuel flame, in particular its shape, radiation profile and exhaust gas composition are considerably different to those of an air-fuel burner. For this reason, a new approach is needed regarding factors such as burner design, power input levels, number and positioning strategies of burners and also control philosophies. In this paper will discuss the latest developments of high performance oxy-fuel combustion reheating furnace system. This high performance oxy-fuel combustion system will be shown to be technologically superior to other types of combustion systems in the areas of fuel efficiency, emissions and productivity.

Microstructural characteristics of hypereutectic Al-Si alloys during reheating at semi-solid temperature have been investigated. The size and morphology of primary Si particles in wedge-type mold-cast ingot has been compared with hot-rolled sheet and Si particulate reinforced Al composite. Effects of P and Sr addition on the morphological changes of primary Si particles have been also investigated. Observation of the solidification microstructures of the wedge-type mold-cast ingot at different cooling rates showed that alloying elements such as P and Sr affect the morphology of Si particles, especially in the area solidified at a slow cooling rate. Negligible change in the size of primary crystals was observed after reheating experiment, but ${\alpha}-halo$ formed around the Si particles and fine particles of Si precipitated in the surrounding area of the Si particles. In addition, there seemed to be no coarsening with increasing of holding time and the region of ${\alpha}-halo$ being decreased. Nucleation and recrystallization was accelerated with addition of alloying elements during hot rolling resulting in a decrease of primary Si particle size. In the case of extruded specimens, morphological change of primary Si particles was not observed after reheating. No ${\alpha}-halo$ formation was observed in Si reinforced Al composite because of the oxide film formed on the Si particles which acted as a diffusion barrier between substrate and the primary Si particles.

Many processing times for fabricating complex shaped parts by near net shape process such as thixoforming or semi-solid forming, are required due to the time for die design, induction heating and forming process. Therefore, for the thixoforming process, multi-capacity induction heating process is very important due to the reduction of the processing time and cost. It is indispensable to adopt a power-time heating pattern which manages to conciliate complete eutectic melting at the core with limited overheating at the periphery. The total reheating time is thus dependent on billet diameter; in inches$(pm20%)$. Typically, high frequency is used for the rapid reheating of the billet to the eutectic temperature range and low frequency for the remelting of the desired fraction of liquid and for the radial homogeneization of the liquid fraction. So in this study, the multi-capacity induction heating conditions of ALTHIX 86s alloy to reduce the processing time and cost would be proposed. The suitability of multi-capacity induction heating conditions would be verified through the comparison to Garat's data.

Recently the ductile cast iron is being used successfully to the parts for processing machinery vessels and gear etc. This study is mainly concerned with the heat treatment for the specimens of crank shaft which are made of ductile cast iron. The results obtained are summarized as follows. Comparing the mechanical properties of the specimens for the normalized ductile cast irons the specimen heat treated at $550^{\circ}C$ was the best for crank shaft of air-compressor. After austenizing at $910^{\circ}C$ it was observed that the higher the reheating temperature is the less tensile strength and the hardness became which was supposedly attributed to the fact that the amount of pearlite. Austenite matrix was reduced by reheating after normalizing and that as the reheating tem-perature went up the pearlite generated was less and the distance between the pearlites were widened at last made pearlite globular. In the comparsison of crank shaft for air compressor made of ductile cast iron with that made by forged steel the crank shaft made of ductile cast iron was superior in economical terms. And ductile cast iron could be practically enough if only the elonga-tion which was inferior mechanical property to forged steel could be reinforced by increasing the diameter of crank pin when designing the crank shaft.

The reheating of the billet in the semi-solid state as quickly and homogeneously as possible is one of the most important aspects. From this point of view, an optimal design of the induction coil is necessary. The objective of inductive coil designsi a uniform induction heating over the length of the billet. The effect of coil length, diameter, the gap between coil surface and billet and axial position of the billet on temperature distribution of billet has been investigated. These design parameters have an important effectiveness on the electro-magnetic field. Therefore, in this study an optimal coil design to minimize electromagnetic ed effect will be proposed by defining the relationship between billet length and coil length. In particular, key point in induction heating process is focussed on optimizing the coil design with regard to the size of the heating billet and the frequency of induction heating system. After demonstrating the suitability of an optimal coil design through the FEM simulation of the induction heating process, the results of the coil design are also applied to the reheating process to obtain a fine globular microstructure. Its considered that the reheating conditions of aluminum alloys for thixoforging and a new CAE model of the induction heating process are very useful for thixoforging practitioners including induction heating ones.

The effects of reheating during welding on the microstructure and impact toughness of weld metal in 25% Cr super duplex stainless steels were investigated. Using different heat inputs, weld metals with different reheated regions were obtained. This showed that, depending on the reheating temperature, the microstructure in the reheated region was quite different from that of the as-deposited microstructure. When reheated into the ${\gamma}+{\alpha}$ temperature range, fine intragranular austenite was formed in the as-deposited columnar structure. However, when reheated above the ${\alpha}$ solvus temperature range, most of the columnar structure disappeared and fine equiaxed austenite and ferrite were formed. Because of the larger amount of fine austenite in the reheated region, a higher impact toughness was obtained in the weld metal with a higher amount of reheated region.

The crack problem of continuous casting slab due to the thermal stresses during the reheating process is analyzed using FEM. In this study, the C(t)-integral is calculated. As a result, the values of the C(t)-integral decrease by increasing the initial temperature of the slab and decreasing total heat flux. And those decrease by decreasing the heat flux of pre-heating zone and increasing the heat flux of heating zone.

A both mixing process of electro-magnetic stirring and mechanical process technique were used to fabricate particulate metal matrix composites(PMMCs) for variation of particle size. The PMMCs were tested for their tensile test for with and without heat treatment with T6. PMMCs fabrication processing conditions for both electrical and mechanical process are also suggested. In order to thixoforming of PMMCs, fabricated billet are reheated by using the optimal coil designed as a function of length between PMMC billet and coil surface, coil diameter and billet length. The effect of reinforcement distribution on billet temperature variation are investigated with calculated solid fraction theory proposed as a function of matrix alloy and volume fraction of reinforcement.

In part forming process of metal matrix composites, the die casting and squeeze casting process are limited the size and dimension in term of final parts without machining. The thixoforming process for metal matrix composites has numerous advantages compared to die casting squeeze casting and compocasting. However, for the thixoforming process, the billet with the desired volume fraction must be heated to obtain a uniform temperature distribution over the entire cross-sectional areas. To obtain the reheating conditions of composites, the particulate reinforced metal matrix composites for thixoforming were fabricated by combined stirring process which is simultaneously performed with electro-magnetic stirring and mechanical stirring process.
