Alumina powder was coated with stearic acid and then mixed with isotactic polypropylene, atactic polypropylene as binders at 15$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The mixture was then injection molded at various mold temperatures using injection molding machine to investigate the effect of the molding temperature and debinding parameters on the formation of the defects. The molded specimens were debinded in both air and nitrogen atmospheres. Wicking and solvent methods were also used to enhance debinding efficiency. The specimens were prefired at 120$0^{\circ}C$ and then sintered at 150$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. Various defects were formed at mold temoperature of 3$0^{\circ}C$, 6$0^{\circ}C$ and 10$0^{\circ}C$ and any noticeable defect was not formed at 85$^{\circ}C$. The density of green body increased with mold temperature. Debinding in air atmosphere was more effective than in nitrogen atmosphere. Results also proved that wicking and solvent treatments helped minimize the number of defects.

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.

Powder Injection Molding(PIM) has recently been recognized as an advanced manufacturing technology for low-cost mass production of metal or ceramic parts of complicated geometry With this regards, design technology of dental scaler tip PIM mold, which has complex shape and small core pin (diameter=0.6mm), with the help of computer-aided analysis of powder injection molding process was developed. Computer-aided analysis for dental scaler tip mold was implemented by finite element method with non-Newtonian fluid, modified Cross model viscosity, PvT data of powder/binder mixture. Compter-aided analysis results, such as filling pattern, weldline formation, air vent position prediction were compared with experimental result, and eventually have been shown good agreement. The core pin (diameter=0.6mm) deflection analysis of dental scaler tip PIM mold during PIM filling process was also investigated before mold fabrication.

Removal of gas in a mold has been a big problem in pressing mold or in injection mold. Air vent has been used to solve the problem, but it has weak points such as the Increased cost, the increased number of process. and vent marks on the surface of a product. In this study, the sintering method and rapid tooling method are used for making porous metal mold. Porous metal mold has many open pores, which are very small. When porous metal mold is used for pressing mold or injection mold, all process would be made short, produce cost would be down, and vent marks would be not leaved on the surface of a product. Characteristic of Porous material varies from sintering conditions, which are the length of sintering time, sintering temperature and sintering atmosphere etc. This study will find optimized sintering condition for the porous metal mold.

본 연구에서는 우레탄레진(TSR-755)을 이용하여 레이저 조형으로 시작형 몰드를 가공하고, 상용패키지(Unigraphics)를 이용하여 자동차 단자함 케이블 케이스를 설계한 후 사출성형해석(Simpoe-Mold)을 사용하여 충전, 보압, 냉각, 변형해석을 수행하여 게이트 위치 선정 및 냉각 사이클 등을 검토 하였다. 해석결과, 세라믹소재 가공 후 사출금형에 인서트시켜 성형 시 열전도도 및 냉각시간을 줄여 줌을 확인할 수 있으며, 게이트 및 냉각라인 선정을 빠른 시간에 결정할 수 있어 생산성 향상을 가져올 것으로 나타났다.

초임계이산화탄소를 이용하여 세라믹 사출성형체로부터 파라핀왁스를 제거하였다. 파라핀왁스는 세라믹사출성형 공정에서 바인더로 사용되는 물질이다. 파라핀왁스 제거의 최적조건을 찾기 위해 온도, 압력, 이산화탄소의 유량에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 온도는 328.15 - 348.15 K, 압력은 15 - 30 MPa 범위에서 조절하였으며, 이산화탄소의 유속을 변화시켜가면서 파라핀왁스의 제거율을 측정하였다. 파라핀왁스의 제거율은 압력의 증가에 비례하였다. 온도는 파라핀왁스의 녹는점인 329.15K 이상일 때 파라핀왁스의 제거가 효과적이었고, 더 높은 온도에서는 더 이상의 효과가 없었다. 이산화탄소의 유량 증가에 따라 파라핀 제거율이 향상되었지만 어느 양 이상이 되면 더 이상 효과가 없었다. 파라핀왁스를 보다 더 효과적으로 제거하기 위해 프로판을 공용매로 사용하였다. 초임계이산화탄소에 프로판을 첨가했을 경우 제거율이 향상되었으며, 사출성형체의 구조나 모양에 어떠한 변화도 없이 파라핀왁스를 완전하게 제거할 수 있었다.

Increased demand for parts with micro-pattern structure made of metals, ceramics, and composites in various fields such as medical ultrasonic sensors, CT collimators, and ultra-small actuator parts. Micro powder injection molding (PIM) is a technology for manufacturing micro size, high volume, complex, precision, net-shape components from either metal or ceramic powder. In the present study, a standard mold with a variable insert core capable of producing various micro patterns was investigated. An injection molding test was performed on a standard mold using a line type micro-pattern core having an aspect ratio of 2, a slenderness ratio of 70, a pattern size of $200{\mu}m$, and a pattern spacing of $150{\mu}m$. During the filling process, the deformation of the mold with large aspect ratio and slenderness ratio was analyzed by the experiment and the numerical simulation according to the position of the gate. We proposed a mold structure that minimizes mold deformation by gate modification and enables uniform pattern filling behavior.

A ball-shape alumina arc-tube for low-wattage lamp was developed by the PIM process. An ultra high purity translucentgrade alumina powder was used. In injection molding process, a hot-runner type mold was developed. The translucent-grade alumina powder was extremely sensitive to contamination so that the injection molding condition and atmosphere control in the furnace should be taken care of with extreme caution. Contamination sources were pinpointed with EPMA. The arc-tube was molded in half and two halves were bonded in the middle by a new bonding technique at room temperature developed in this study.
