Effects of mold temperature on the part dimension and surface quality of the injection molded cavity filter

금형온도가 Cavity Filter 성형품의 치수 및 외관품질에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

In this study, we developed the mold for the plastic cavity filter which is a kind of a wireless communication device. Since the cavity filter is made of aluminium, the cost of fabrication is high and the production rate is low. But we can produce plastic cavity filter part by injection molding process with the mold which was designed by our team. The dimension and surface quality of plastic cavity filter was investigated by varying the molding method (conventional and MmSH process) and two different types of resin(PC/ABS and ABS). In case of ABS part, the shrinkage of the inner partition walls was decreased when we adopted MmSH method. The weight of both ABS and PC/ABS parts increased and the surface roughness decreased with MmSH process.

본 연구에서는 무선부품의 일종인 cavity filter금형을 제작하여 도금용 ABS 수지와 PC/ABS alloy 수지를 사용하여 일반사출성형과 금형온도가 높은 MmSH방식, 두 타입으로 성형품을 제작하였다. 성형품의 수축률 변화는 MmSH 방식일 때 ABS 성형품의 단위캐비티 격막부분에서 수축률이 감소되었다. 중량변화는 ABS와 PC/ABS 성형품 모두 MmSH 방식일 때 증가하였고, 성형품 표면 거칠기는 MmSH 방식일 때 모두 거칠기가 감소되었다.
