This paper describes the process of structure analysis and injection molding analysis to manufacture the forming injection dies for huge glass insert. Factors such as filling time, filling pressure, material temperature, shrinkage, warpage were investigated by using the analysis software, Moldflow. Runner system and cavity structure were designed and manufactured through the results of deformation analysis data for glass insert. Filling time and filling pressure were analyzed in 3.756sec and 43.37MPa.

In this study, we used the commercial package (Unigraphics) to construct a junction box cable car when laser plastic parts have been processed using urethane resin(TSR-755) as a starting mold material. After construction, we carried out the filing, packing, cooling, and deforming analyzation using Injection Molding Analysis (Simpoe-Mold) to determine the gate positioning and automatic cooling cycle through the examination. The results show that inserting into the injection mold after processing ceramic has reduced the time of thermal conductivity of molding and cooling; and quick selection of gates and cooling lines could possibly cause an improvement of productivity.

Housing and insulation of electrical connectors are made of plastic resin by injection molding process. The metallic inner tube is easily deformed by high pressure during the injection process. In order to prevent deformation of the inner tube, it is desirable to simulate it by structural CAE analysis. However, it takes a long time to calculate the stress- of the part by commercially available injection molding CAE software with sufficient accuracy. In this study, structural analysis in conjunction with injection molding analysis is proposed to improve accuracy of the structural analysis. Pressure distribution on the inner tube is predicted by the injection molding CAE analysis, and then mapped onto the mesh of structural analysis by a mapping algorithm developed in this study. As a result reliable result is obtained in shorter time than the conventional method. The predicted deformation of the inner tube is compared with the actual part after experiment.

Engineering plastics have been magnified its usability due to its outstanding mechanic al, electrical and chemical properties, for example, in the area of computer, electricity, electronics, automobile, camera industry. In recent, automobile speedometer system is changing from manual operation to motor operation. All plastic gears inserted by metal shaft are used In motor operated speedometer system. Therefore, in this research, experimental investigation of the shrinkage phenomenon was executed according to various inserted depth and injection conditions. In experiments, the inserted depth was controlled as 30% and 90% of the total thickness of the plastic gear. The main parameters of injection process were selected as injection pressure, holding pressure, melt temperature, injection rate. As main results, free shrinkage rate of the test part is increased about 4 times to restricted shrinkage rate and shrinkage phenomenon against all injection conditions have a trivial effect on the test parts as conventional parts.

Thermoplastic composite is introduced to design an automotive door impact beam, and the manufacturing process is demonstrated. The safety regulation for vehicles has been steadily tightened, and weight-reduction has become a mandatory factor in the automotive industry. Hence, both high-performance and lightweight are demanded for automotive components. The aim of the present study is to develop an automotive door impact beam using fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites to reduce the weight of the impact beam while increasing its mechanical performance. A new production method which combines continuous fiber-reinforced composite and LFT(Long Fiber-reinforced Thermoplastic) is implemented by using insert injection molding process. The mechanical performance of the composite impact beam was evaluated using 3-point bending tests. Thermoplastic composite will expand its application range to various automotive components due to its light-weight design capability and high productivity.

When iodine container for dental mouth treatment is opened, thread for treatment is cut by the blade in cap of container. Due to the problem of corrosion in a short period time after the reaction of metal blade to iodine solution, it gives impact on patient hygiene. In order to solve the problem, alternative products such as ceramic blade are developed and produced recently. In case of ceramic blade, it is produced by handwork and machine work. In this study, for the quantity production of ceramic blade with powder injection molding, we proposed a delivery system to have uniform charge of 20 cavity. Using Moldflow, simulation on 20 Cavity flow was performed. And then the mold was obtained through mold production and modification.(based on simulation) After injection molding, debinder, sintering process was achieved for ceramic blade, and the cap product was completed via insert injection on ceramic blade. In this study, we verified possibility of quantity production of ceramic blade which showed effective performance for cutting.

In this study, silicone injection molding technology with curved thermoplastic insert was developed to produce super-hydrophobic surface. Thermoplastic insert part and injection mold design of base plastic cover were performed to produce cost effective hydrophobic surface part. An optimization process of part thickness for thermoplastic insert part was performed with transient thermal analysis under silicone over-molding process condition. Structural thermal analysis of silicone injection mold was also performed to obtain uniform temperature condition on the surface of micro-patterned mold core. Super-hydrophobic surface for the silicone injection molded part with thermoplastic insert could be verified from the measurement of contact angle. It was shown that the averaged contact angle was over $140^{\circ}$.

Generally, Aluminum is superior to durability, light, and characteristics of the material are embossed luminant. So, these characteristics of aluminum will be used automobile interior parts by aluminum injection moulding. Especially, The external of Aluminum plate is engraved differing pattern by roller working. This working can use any longer and be seen gracefully. This is the reason why aluminum insert moulding is used. This feature of research can be characterized by simple process to customize aluminum sheet of blanking and forming process with internal parts of configuration if products are injected by aluminum sheet. Besides, to analysis completed Automobile interior parts to be concerned volumetric shrinkage, best gate location, fill time analysis and so on through the mold-flow before the aluminum insert moulding is worked.

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.

In this study, we have investigated bonding of metal and plastic parts with single planar interface. This is facilitated by surface processing of aluminum sheet, which consists of slitting and punching, followed by insert-molding of polybuthylelne terephthalate(PBT). An injection mold has been built to fabricate specimen. After processing of the specimen, tensile and bending shear adhesion tests have been fulfilled according to KS M3734 and KS M3723, respectively. We also have conducted simulation of tensile and bending shear adhesion tests. Based on the tests results, the proposed bonding method outperforms existing methods based on adhesion.
