본 연구에서는 유한요소법을 적용한 수치해석을 이용하여 타이어 제조용 금형을 생산하기 위해 사용되는 주조재의 열적 특성에 관하여 조사해 보았다. 고 품질의 정밀도가 좋은 타이어를 제조하기 위해, 일반적으로 타이어 제조용 금형의 주조재로 많이 사용되고 있는 알루미늄 합금과 비교 대상으로 연강을 선정하여 각각의 주조재에 대한 응고과정에서의 온도분포와 응력분포 결과를 수치적으로 계산해 보고 결과를 예측해 보았다. 수치해석을 통한 결과에서, 알루미늄 합금을 사용한 금형의 냉각과정 동안의 온도분포는 연강에 비해 보다 더 안정적으로 나타나는 것을 확인하였으며, 응력분포 결과 또한 알루미늄 합금 금형이 연강에 비해 정밀도를 향상시키고 좋은 품질의 제품을 얻는 데 보다 나은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 금형의 온도분포와 응력분포는 금형의 냉각과정 동안 주조재의 초기 냉각온도에 의해 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 사료된다. 마지막으로, 이러한 수치해석에 의한 금형의 열적 특성 예측은 향후 고품질, 고정밀도의 금형 생산을 위한 예비성능평가 방법과 경제적 측면에서 매우 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

The precision and endurance of tire mold are very important factors to decide the quality of tire. However, the investigation on the thermal deformation of tire mold has a lot of trouble because the tire mold is produced in airtight permanent casting material. In this study, the thermal deformations such as temperature, displacement and stress distributions inside the AC7A tire mold casting material were analyzed by numerical analysis according to the preheating temperature of permanent casting device. In order to verify the results of numerical analysis, the experiments for temperature measurement of the AC7A casting material were carried out under the same condition with numerical analysis. For the numerical analysis, "COMSOL Multiphysics" was used. The preheating temperatures were set up $150^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, $250^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$, respectively. The thermal deformations were calculated in each case. When the preheating temperature is $300^{\circ}C$, displacement and stress are the lowest with 0.25mm and 0.351GPa, but the temperature is the highest with $374.27^{\circ}C$. When the experimental results were compared with the numerical results, there were some temperature differences because of the latent heat by phase change heat transfer. However, the cooling patterns were almost similar except for the latent heat section.

Manufacturing processes of industrial tire are composed of mixing, extrusion, curing, trimming and inspecting. Among them curing is the most important process in the production of industrial tire. In this study the newly developed spring vent system was designed in order to solve rubber intrusion problem inside spring vent system in the curing process. After the experiment it is concluded that rubber intrusion was caused by angled stem head part. New spring vent system was manufactured and new design of spring vent system is proper to use for industrial tire curing process.

The tire tread is contacted with road surface directly. It gives significant effect on the breaking conditions, traction, noise and so on. The tread having grooves with complex geometry is molded by shaping process. The flow behavior of tread rubber in a mold affects the quality of the tread and it leads to the running performance of automobile. In this study, the flow behavior of rubber in shaping process has been investigated by computer simulation. The objective of flow simulation is the design of tread shape based on the contact of rubber on the mold surface and flow behavior of rubber. Different sequences of contact of rubber on the mold surface and flow behavior of rubber are observed according to the shape of tread on the mold surface. It was verified that the shape of tread gives significant effect on the flow behavior of rubber. Different flow behaviors of rubber and sequential contact of rubber to the mold surface were observed according to the shape of tread on the mold surface. Therefore, we have identified that the shape of tread give a change in the flow behavior of rubber.
