The relative machinability of the invar-type cast alloys, such as invar cast steel, invar-type cast iron, Meehanite cast iron, and the modified Invar-type cast iron containing Mo and V was evaluated based on the tool life test, the surface roughness test and the chipping test. Tool life and surface roughness were measured under various cutting conditions. The tool lives of Invar cast steel, Meehanite cast iron, the modified Invar cast iron and Invar cast iron was 12 min, 8 min, 1 min, 41 min, respectively. The surface finish of Invar cast steel and the modified Invar cast iron was better than that of Meehanite cast non, and the chip breakability of invar cast iron and Meehanite cast iron was better than that of invar cast steel. The Taylor's equations of invar cast steel and the modified invar cast iron were $VT^{0.3076}=154.479$ and $VT^{0.3880}=102.326$, respectively. As the cutting speed increases, the surface finish of the modified invar cast iron was improved.

The load transfer mechanism and load-bearing capacity of cast steel joints for H-shaped beam to square tube column connection are studied based on the deformation compatibility theory. Then the monotonic tensile experiments are conducted for 12 specimens about the cast steel joints for H-shaped beam to square tube column connection. The findings are that the tensile bearing capacity of the cast steel joints for beam-column connection depends on the ring of cast steel stiffener. The tensile fracture happens at the ring of the cast steel stiffener when the joint fails. The thickness of square tube column has little influence on the bearing capacity of the joint. The square tube column buckles while the joint without concrete filled, but the strength failure happens for the joint with concrete filled column. And the length of welding connection between square tube column and cast steel stiffener has little influence on the load-bearing capacity of the cast steel joint. Finally it is shown that the load-bearing capacity of the joints for H-shaped beam to concrete filled square tube column connection is larger than that of the joints for H-shaped beam to square tube column connection by 10% to 15%.

Cast defect in large steel ingots are estimated in quality and compared each other cast conditions on simulation results by now. The cast defects, micro-crack, shrinkage, pin hole which are predictable in simulation with a reasonable accuracy. In this study, 15 ton steel ingot casting was simulated for solidification model and cast defect prediction. And the real cast was carried out in a foundry for the compeer to the simulation results, the cast defect prediction. Also, the quantity of predicted defect was tried to measuring with the defect mach counting for the various simulated cast conditions. The defect quantity work was used to find the optimized cast condition in DOE(design of experiment) procedure.

The effect of different kinds of steel scraps, the raw material in the manufacturing of nodular cast iron, on the microstructures and mechanical properties has been investigated Different grades were produced by changing the steel scraps. When nodular graphite cast iron was produced by using Zn rich steel scrap, such as galvanized steel sheet and auto body sheet, mechanical properties were deteriorated due to the decomposition of graphite, so close control must be maintained over this element. Tensile strength and hardness of nodular graphite cast iron which were manufactured by using Sb rich steel scrap were increased while elongation was decreased due to the increased amounts of pearlite within matrix. Mn and Cr contents in the structural steel sheet scrap or malleable iron scrap increased tensile strength and hardness of nodular graphite cast iron by facilitating the formation of pearlite.

The thermal and mechanical properties of an electro-slag cast steel of a similar chemical composition with an AISI-6F2 steel are investigated and compared with a forged AISI-6F2 steel. AISI-6F2 is a hot-working tool steel. Electro-slag casting (ESC) is a method of producing ingots in a water-cooled metal mold by the heat generated in an electrically conductive slag when current passes through a consumable electrode. The ESC method provides the possibility of producing material for the high quality hot-working tools and ingots directly into a desirable shape. In the present study, the thermal and mechanical properties of yield strength, tensile strength, hardness, impact toughness, wear resistance, thermal fatigue resistance, and thermal shock resistance for electro-slag cast and forged steel are experimentally measured for both annealed and quenched and tempered heat treatment conditions. It has been found that the electro-slag cast steel has comparable thermal and mechanical properties to the forged steel.

Effectsof carbon content on the weldability of B-containing 620 grade high Cr ferritic cast steels were investigated. Cast steel with lower carbon content of 0.07% showed lower HAZ hardness because of the formation of lower carbon martensite in HAZ. It also showed less solidification cracking susceptibility in weld metal because of the formation of delta ferrite. However, hot ductility showed no difference between cast steels with lower and higher carbon contents. Cast steel with lower carbon content showed greater HAZ softening after PWHT in the region heated between AC1 and AC3 because of its higher base metal hardness.

Cast austenitic stainless steel piping pump, valve casings, and elbows are susceptible to reductions in toughness and ductility because of long term exposure at the operating temperatures in LWR(light water reactor). In this paper, we have measured the material properties of long term aged CF-8A cast stainless steel, accelerated aging at $400^{\circ}C$. These studies have been carried out using Indentation tests(automated ball indentation and nano-indentation) and EDS(energy dispersive spectroscopy). The fracture toughness of CF-8A cast stainless steel was also determined by using standard fracture toughness and Automated Ball Indentation.

Work roll wear in the cold rolling of mild steel strip is strongly affected by rolling materials, rolling conditions and lubrication. The tests were performed to find the effects of rolling materials under the same lubrication conditions. The obtained results are as follfws; 1) The decrease in surface roughness of work roll is more rapid in that case of continuously cast A1-killed steel strip than ingot cast steel strip. In rolling of continuously cast A1-killed steel strip, worn powder rich in A1$\_$2/O$\_$3/sticks to the work roll surface, and so it makes the mirror surface of work roll accelerate. 2) Amount of work roll wear is small in rolling of continuously cast A1-killed strip. 3) In rolling of continously cast A1-killed steel strip, it is necessary to put up the intial surface roughness of work roll in order to prevent work roll slip.

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 $30-70\;kg/cm^2$.

Abrasive wear characteristics of high Cr white cast iron-based hardfacing were investigated using the rubber wheel abrasion wear test method according with the ASTM G65-85. Mild steel was also tested for comparison with high Cr cast iron hardfacing. Wear experiments, where the applied force, wheel revolution rate and abrasive powder feed rate were selected as test valuables, were planned and analyzed by response surface method to evaluate wear statistically and quantitatively. Weight loss of high Cr cast iron hardfacing was mostly affected by the applied force and wheel revolution rate, and little by the powder feed rate. Weight loss of mild steel was greatly affected by the wheel revolution rate and powder feed rate, and slowly and steadily increased with the applied force. Abrasive wear mechanism of high Cr cast iron and mild steel was discussed in the light of the wear test results.
