Almost all injection molds have multi-cavity runner system fur productivity and are designed with geometrically balanced runner system in order to minimize filling imbalance between cavity to cavity during processing. However, filling imbalances have been observed though geometrically balanced runner lay-out. Generally, these filling imbalances are due to thermal unbalance, viscosity, characteristic of polymers and so on. These kinds of filling imbalances have already been reported by Beaumont since 1997, but his research has mainly focused on filling imbalance at binary runner. In this study, we conducted an experimental study about the filling imbalances in unary branch runner as well as binary branch runner and inquired into the causes of filling imbalances. The results could be summarized as fellowing: Filling imbalances existed in multi-cavity mold with unary branch runner, it could be decreased by optimizing processing condition such as increasing injection rate, and it is almost proportion to each polymer's temperature sensibility.

For mass production, usually injection mold has multi-cavity which is filled through geometrical balanced runner system. Despite geometrical balanced runner system, filling imbalances between cavity to cavity have always been observed. These filling imbalances are one of the most significant factors to affect quality of plastic parts when molding plastic parts in multi-cavity injection mold. Filling imbalances are results from non-symmetrical shear rate distribution within melt as it flows through the runner system. It has been possible to decrease filling imbalance by optimizing processing conditions, but it has not completely eliminated this phenomenon during injection molding processing. This paper presents a solution of these filling imbalances through using 'runner core pin'. The runner core pin which is developed in this study creates a symmetrical shear distribution within runner. As a result of using runner core pin, a remarkable improvement in reducing filling imbalance was confirmed.

Flow imbalance among the cavities was often observed in multi-cavity mold. The flow imbalance affects on the dimensions and physical properties of melded articles. First of all, the origin of flow imbalance is geometrical imbalance of delivery system. However, even the geometry of delivery system is balanced the cavity imbalance is being developed. This comes from the temperature distribution in the cross-section of runner, which is affected by the operational conditions. In this study, experimental study of flow imbalance has been conducted for various injection speeds. This study also suggests new runner design to eliminate flow imbalance in multi-cavity injection mold. Simulation and experimental results showed suggested new designed runner could eliminate or reduce flow imbalance in multi-cavity injection mold.

치과에서 사용되는 구강 치료용 요오드 용기는 개폐 시 용기의 캡에 부착되어 있는 칼날에 의해 치료용 실은 절단이 된다. 금속의 칼날은 요오드 용액과 반응하여 단기간에 부식이 되는 문제로 인해 환자의 위생에도 영향을 준다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 최근 세라믹 칼날로 대체되어진 제품들도 개발되어 생산되는데, 이때 세라믹 칼날은 수작업과 기계가공을 통해 만들어 진다. 본 연구에서는 세라믹 칼날을 분말사출성형공정으로 대량 생산할 수 있도록 20Cavity의 균일 충전을 위한 유동 시스템을 제안하였다. Moldflow를 이용하여 20cavity 유동성에 대한 시뮬레이션을 진행하였고, 금형제작과 수정을 통해 금형을 완성하였다. 사출성형 후 탈지와 소결공정을 통해 완성하고, 금형에 세라믹 칼날을 인서트 사출하여 캡 제품을 완성하였다. 본 연구를 통해 유효한 절단 성능을 갖는 세라믹칼날 대량생산 가능성을 검증하였다.

렌즈 그리고 DVD 등과 같은 성형품들은 우수한 광학적 특성을 필요로 한다. 일반사출성형 공정은 캐비티 내에 압력이 높고 큰 온도변화를 포함하게 되어 성형품에 큰 잔류응력이 남아 광학적 품질이 저하된다. 따라서 이와 같은 제품들은 성형 시 잔류응력을 최소화하기 위해 캐비티 내의 압력을 낮게 그리고 균일하게 조절할 수 있는 사출압축성형 공정을 사용하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 실험을 통하여 사출압축 성형품에 영향을 주는 성형인자를 분석하였다. 다수 캐비티 금형을 이용하여 캐비티 간 품질편차도 고찰하였다. 실험에 사용한 재료는 투명수지인 PC와 PS이었다. 사출압축성형의 실험에서 공정변수로는 압축거리, 압축속도, 압축력 그리고 압축지연시간을 이용하였다. 실험결과, 사출압축성형 공정 변수 중 압축력과 압축지연시간 그리고 압축거리가 광학적 특성에 크게 영향을 미쳤으며 그 정도는 수지에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 이러한 현상은 사출압축성형 시 수지마다 유동성에 따라 최적의 성형조건이 있음을 의미하는 것이다.
