The effects of alloying elements on the as-cast microstructures and mechanical properties of heavy section ductile cast iron were investigated to develop press die material having high strength and high ductility. Measurements of ultimate tensile strength, 0.2% proof strength, elongation and unnotched Charpy impact energy are presented as a function of alloy amounts within 0.25 to 0.75 wt pct range. Hardness is measured on the broken tensile specimens. The small additions of Mo, Cu, Ni and Cr changed the as-cast mechanical properties owing to the different as-cast matrix microstructures. The ferrite matrix of Mo and Ni alloyed cast iron exhibits low strength and hardness as well as high elongation and impact energy. The increase in Mo and Ni contents developed some fractions of pearlite structures near the austenite eutectic cell boundaries, which caused the elongation and impact energy to drop in a small range. Adding Cu and Cr elements rapidly changed the ferrite matrix into pearlite matrix, so strength and hardness were significantly increased. As more Mo and Cr were added, the size and fraction of primary carbides in the eutectic cell boundaries increased through the segregation of these elements into the intercellular boundaries.

During the EPC (expendable pattern casting) process, one of the essential requirements is to prevent pattern distortion during sand filling and compaction. A new method which vibrates the system in a two-dimensional circular mode has been applied to the EPC process. The molding properties of unbonded sand obtained by this new vibration mode are investigated and compared with those in the one-dimensional vertical mode. For adequate compaction of sand, the circular vibration mode is more effective than the vertical mode. Sand became more fluidized by the circular vibration and the particle pressure coefficient was close to unity. The particle pressure coefficient, which is defined as the ratio of horizontal to vertical sand pressure, is responsible for the effectiveness of sand filling.

We focused on the surface reinforcement of ligth weight casting alloys with Ni-Al intermetallic compounds by in-situ combustion reaction to improve the surface properties of non-ferrous casting components. In our previous works, green compact of elemental Ni and Al powders were reacted to form Ni3Al intermetallic compound by SHS (Self-propagating high temperature synthesis) reaction with the heat of molten Al alloy and simultaneously bonded with Al casting alloy. But some defects such as tiny cracks and porosities were remained in the reacted compact. So we applied pressure to prevent thermal cracks and fill up the pores with liquid Al alloy by squeeze casting process. The compressed Al alloy bonded with the Ni3Al intermetallic compound was sectioned and observed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The stoichiometric compositions of the intermetallics formed around the bonded interface and in the reacted compact were identified by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and electron probe micro analysis (EPMA). Si rich layer was formed on the Al alloy side near the bonded interface by the sequential solidification of Al alloy. The porosities observed in the reacted Ni3Al compact were filled up with the liquid Al alloy. The Si particles from the molten Al alloy were detected in the pores of reacted Ni3Al intermetallic compact. The Al casting alloy and Ni3Al intermetallic compound were joined very soundly by applying pressure to the liquid Al alloy.
