본 연구에서는 형내압 파형제어 시스템, 초고속, 사출성형, 그리고 금형진공 시스템 등을 갖춘 사출 성형기를 이용하여 정밀 구면렌즈를 성형하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 이 러한 목적을 위해 성형공정 변수인 사출시간 충전압력 그리고 보압시간이 성형품에 미치는 영향을 중량과 곡률반경 구면 정밀도 그리고 구면오차의 간접무늬를 측정하여 연구하였다. 그결과로서 성형품의 중량(칫수)과 곡률반경에 지대한 영향력을 행사하는 변수는 충전압력 이며 사출시간과 보압시간은 곡률반경과는 무관해 보이고 중량의 증가에는 기여하지만 공정 사이클 시간을 증가시키는 문제가 지적된다. 구면정밀도 측정실험 결과 길지도 짧지도 않는 15∼20초 사이의 보압시간 4초이내의 빠른 사출시간 그리고 860kg/cm2 이상의 높은 충전압 력에서 우수한 결과를 보여주었다, 마지막으로 구면의 형상에 대한 간접무늬 측정결과는 성 형공정을 이해하는데 강력한 도구가 됨을 발견하였다.

세라믹 재료들을 성공적으로 사출성형하기 위한 적절한 사출조건을 얻기 위하여 그 동안 많은 실험을 하여 왔으나 게이트 크기가 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 미진하였다. 본 연구에선 압출기를 사용하여 미세한 질화규소분말과 결합제시스템을 혼합하였으며 이러한 세라믹혼합물을 이용하여 사출압력, 보압시간, 보압, 배럴온도, 게이트의 형태와 크기 등을 변화시키면서 사출성형 실험을 수행하였다. 55%의 세라믹혼합물을 사출실험한 결과 적절한 게이트의 크기와 형태를 선택하고 105 MPa의 사출압력과 10초의 보압시간, 24$0^{\circ}C$의 배럴온 도와 같은 사출조건하에서 성형한다면 불완전 충전 체적수축과 젯팅현상을 최소화시킬수 있 어 성공적으로 인장시편과 굽힘시편을 성형할 수 있음을 알수있었다. 상용프로그램인 C-MOLD를 이용하여 사출조건과 게이트의 크기를 변화시키면서 혼합물의 유동특성을 해석 하였다. 유동해석 결과. 세라믹혼합물은 순수고분자보다 열전도도가 크고 비열이 작아서 고 화가 빨리 되므로 게이트의 크기는 사출압력, 배럴온도와 같은 사출조건과 더불어 중요한 사풀변수임을 예측할 수 있었다.

Injection molding operation consists of phases of filling, packing, and cooling. The highest cavity pressure is involved in the packing phase among the operation phases. Thus the cavity pressure largely depends upon velocity to pressure (v/p) switchover timing and magnitude of packing pressure. Developed cavity pressure is directly related to stress concentration in the cavity of mold and it may cause a crack in the mold. Consequently control of cavity pressure is considered very important. In this study, cavity pressure was analyzed in terms of v/p switchover timing and packing pressure through computer simulation and experiment. Cavity pressure was increased as the v/p switchover timing was delayed. Residual pressure after cooling phase was observed when the v/p switchover timing was late, which was due to increased pressurizing time for long filling phase. Cavity pressure was increased proportionally with the packing pressure. Residual pressure after cooling phase was also observed, and it was increased with increasing packing pressure. High cavity pressure and residual pressure have been observed at late v/p switchover and high packing pressure. Compared with simulation and experimental results, the profiles of pressures were very similar however simulation could not predict residual pressure. Packing condition was important for the control of cavity pressure and the optimum condition could be set up using CAE analysis.

Shrinkage behavior was investigated to obtain more accurate dimensions of injected molding parts for free and restricted shrinkage conditions. various parameters for metal inserted injection process, such as thickness of resin, holding pressure and time, mo이 temperature and restriction condition of mold, were considered for the analysis of shrinkage phenomena. For numerical analysis, MOLDFLOW software was used to find the deterministic parameters of filling time, temperature, pressure and holding time. Also , experimental shrinkage effects were measured through actual injection molding process and the resin thickness was under controlled as 3 mm , 5 mm, and 7mm for the shapes of plastic gear made of Polymide(PA) and Polyxymethlene(POM). The main parameters of these injection processes were found to be holding pressure, holding time and mold temperature in the case of metal inserted molding.

Injection molding process is one of the most important methods to produce plastic parts with high efficiency and low cost. Today, injection molded parts have been increased dramatically the demand for high strength and quality applications. This report investigates that the optimum injection molding condition for minimum of shrinkage. Molding shrinkage is occurred by several reasons such as thermal shrinkage, a hardening process and compressibility. This report concentrate on shrinkage by a hardening process. As Change a holding pressure and holding time, checked deflections of X, Y, Z directions by shrinkage based on same condition. In conclusion, it was found that holding pressure is stronger and holding time is longer, the deflection by shrinkage is smaller because injection molding needs enough time for cooling and high density. The FEM Simulation CAE tool. Moldflow, is used for the analysis of injection molding process.

Series of experimental work was performed to mold tensile specimens by using the injection molding machine Mold temperature, melt temperature and packing time were chosen as processing parameters for studying the effects of those conditions on the linear shrinkage of final product. Here, each processing variable was decided from the numerical simulation and resin manufacturer's suggested value. The effects of molding conditions on the linear shrinkage in flow direction of the resin were analyzed by measuring the parts 2, 10, 30 and 60 days after molding. As a result, the linear shrinkage increased with the higher mold and melt temperature, and the change of mold temperature has shown more influence. The linear shrinkage of polypropylene has been found to progress up to 30 day with the lapse of the time, and the amount of the linear shrinkage has shown to be between 2.14% and 2.75%. In addition, the effects of packing pressure on the weight has shown to be extremely significant up to freezing time, and proper packing time of the tensile specimen has been found to be 2.0 seconds.

Part shrinkage in injection molding is inevitable phenomenon. Thus, it is necessary not only study on the reducing part shrinkage but characterization of part shrinkage. In this study, part shrinkage in injection molded 2.5 dimensional annular shaped specimens has been studied using glass fiber reinforced PC. Annular shaped specimens were designed with various sizes of outer diameter and thickness. Injection temperature, packing time and packing pressure were selected for operational conditions. Profile variations of outer and inner diameters of molded specimens for various operational conditions were investigated. Sizes of outer and inner diameters of injection molded specimens were smaller than the sizes of mold. Part shrinkage decreased as outer diameter and thickness increased. Part shrinkage showed anisotropic behavior and it depended upon gate location. Subsequently, molded specimens were not circular but oval in shape, and showed the largest shrinkage in the direction of gate. It was realized that the mold design such as gate design is important to control the shape of molded products.

The objective of this study is to optimize the Metal Injection Molding(MIM) process with design of experiments(DOE) and numerical analysis. To derive the optimal process condition, experiment or numerical analysis was performed under various process conditions. To analyze the interaction among influential factors contributing to the temperature at flow front and response surface in MIM, both central point and axial point were added to the full factorial design with 2 levels and 5 factors and then their impacts on response variable in 43 experimental conditions were analyzed and the significance was evaluated. As a result, sprue, runner, and gate were completely filled in about 0.247 seconds after injection, the front part of the green body was filled in about 0.3344 seconds, the green body except gate, etc changed to almost solid state in about 3.29 seconds, the Packinging pressure was completed in about 6.29 seconds, and the green body inside and outside and sprue, etc became solid in 13.2 seconds. The impact of individual or reciprocal action of factors on the temperature at flow front was analyzed through regular probability, test statistics, main effect, and interaction effect. As a result, of a total of 31 combinations of factors, 9 unit factors and reciprocal actions were significant, and the screening was also possible. A proper regression equation was drawn with regression analysis and response surface design on the response variable of temperature at flow front, and the applicability could be verified.

최근 CAD/CAM의 발전과 더불어 사출성형공정은 여러분야에 폭넓게 응용되고 있 다. 사출성형공정은 크게 충전과정(filling stage), 냉각과정(cooling stage), 보압과정(packing stage)로 나누어 지는데 이중 충전과정은냉각과정과 보압과정에서 나타날 물리적인 현상과 최종 성형품의 기계적 성질에 중요한 영향을 끼치게 된다. 충전과정의 수치 해석 방법은 대 표적으로 control volume method, branching flow method, transient moving boun-dary method로 구분된다. 본 연구에서는 격자의 형태를 양호하게 형성시키고 유동선단의 형태를 개선하기위한 기법인 Spline 곡선을 이용한 선단격자 재구성(frontal remeshing using spline curve)과 수치해석에 소요되는 시간을 줄이기 위하여 벽면경계조건 처리를 위한 선단 유동 장생성(frontal flow field construction for wall boun-dary condition treatment)기법을 개발 하고 transient moving voundary method에 적용시켜 원형 평판과 인장 및 굽힘시편 그리고 두께가 변하는 사각 형상을 가진 캐비터에서의 충전과정을 수치해석하였다. 그결과 압력 분 포, 온도분포, 속도장, 유동선단의 진전형태 등이 기존에 제출된 해석결과와 비교하여 볼 때 만족스러운 수치해석결과를 보였다.
