A survey of 6 papers concerning nonferrous casting read out on the "62nd World Foundry Congress" was provided. The authers of "Transferred Pressure and Casting Qualities of Aluminum Die Casting" presented a new method of measuring transferred pressure on metal in a die cavity of aluminum high pressure die casting. The effects of transferred pressure and flow velocity on the qualities of conventional aluminum die casting are also clarified. This paper is awarded of Grand Prize in the congress. The "Production of High Performance

Complicated Al Alloy Castings by Squeeze Casting and Semi Solid Die Casting" has opened up a new field of "high technology" die castings

as well as enabling the practical implementation of technologies such as horizontal squeeze casting and semi-solid metal casting. "Intelligent System to Control the Temperature of Permanent Moulds and Dies." The intelligent system is very effective in auotmatically controlling the temperature of the die. Using this system

dies don’t need to have any cooling system incorporated. "A Hybrid Investment Casting Process for the Production of Metal Matrix Composites" shows that metal matrix composite can be successfully produced by infiltrating an aluminium alloy into a fibre preform located within a ceramic mould. "Microstructure and Wear Behavior of Al Si/SiCp Metal Matrix Composites" noted that SiCp reinforced Al Si metal matrix composites fabricated by spray casting process possessed high wear resistance. "Influence of the Amount of Sodium and Calcium on the As Cast Machanical Characteristics of an 356 Refined with Antimong in Different Solidification conditions" explains the harmful effects of the Na

Ca and shows the relationship between ultimate tensile strength and elongation. The whole result of this study have enabled us to evaluate the statistic correlation between ultimate tensile strength and elongation: σ b（MPa）= 25.87 lg δ （%）+128.85?
