The filling phase analysis of the injection molding process for thermoplastics was applied to predict pressure, themperature and shear stress in the test mold, and the results were compared with the experiment using 30% glass fiber added ABS resin. The finite difference method was used in the analysis considering the effects of heat transfer between molten polymer and mold wall, and also frictional heating by shear flow. The analysis results were considered as a method to improve the quality and the productivity of injection molding process. Using the analysis results, the molding factors such as mold-ability of polymers, performance of injection molding machine, positioning of gate and dimendsioning of runner in the injection molding process can be estimated at the design stage of mold for good quality and productivity.

The molding process can be divided into five separate steps: plastification, injection, holding, cooling, and finally ejection. In the plastic injection molding, the effect factor such as mold temperature, injection speed, packing pressure and inhomogeneous cooling under packing process affects both the article dimension and physical characteristics. Especially, the packing pressure is the most critical factor to affect molded articles quality among the packing parameters. In this paper, the CAE simulation considering the molding condition is performed to predict the faulty cause which appears in the packing process between cavities of injection molding machine. From the results of CAE simulation, the packing phenomena according to the product form and the gate position was investigated to improve the article quality and minimize the various molding defects. The effect of packing pressure and gate number on the injection molding was discussed.

The surface gloss of the injection molded part is one of the most significant point for evaluation the quality of products appearance. The effects of molding condition on the gloss of HIPS(High Impact Poly Styrene) molded part were investigated in this work. The measurements of gloss on the surface of molded part were carried out with different melt temperature, mold temperature, injection pressure and holding pressure. We observed the result of HIPS gloss compared with our's previous ABS study. The more melt and mold temperature increased, the brighter the gloss increase. Holding and injection pressure had little effect on the gloss. The gloss was effected in order of melt temperature, mold temperature, injection pressure, holding pressure.

The water has been the suitable for the cooling medium until now. But the water as cooling medium seem to have the limit for high speed injection. The steam plastic molding injection use the steam as the medium when raise the mold temperature. The weld line has been the major quality problems in a plastic injection parts to be difficult to be solved. These problems in injection-molded plastic parts are difficult to find the reason because these issues are usually in tradeoff realtions with each other. The purpose of this paper is to obtain the optimum injection moulding condition for improving the quality of plastic injection parts and to inquire the productivity improvement with the measured cycle time by steam plastic moluding injection. Based on these numerical results, the guidelines of mould design and injection processing condition were established. As a result, the improvement of quality and the reduction of cycle time was achieved.

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. In this study, In-line skates are made of Al alloy and plastic materials to replace the frame for the optimization process is all about. I interpreted through mold design, Injection molding process that minimizes the runner and the gate dimension will determine the size and shape. Runner and gate dimensions of change based on availability of the product, I'll discuss the injection molding. This report investigates that the optimum injection molding condition for minimum of shrinkage. The FEM Simulation CAE tool, Moldflow, is used for the analysis of injection molding process.

Recently, as the development of manufacturing technique on SMC(sheet molding compound), various numerical and experimental approaches to injection and compression molding have been investigated. Injection and compression molding, however, has so various cases with complicated boundary condition that it is difficult to analyze mold characteristics precisely. In addition, since a slight change in process variables can significantly change the resulting mold thickness, a proper design is important to compression molding process. Therefore, in this study, the effects of various parameters on compression molding process have been investigated using FEM(finite element method) to formulate the melt front advancement during the mold filling process. To verify the results of present analysis, they are compared with those of reference. The results show a strong effect of initial charge volume, injection time and pressure as a result of variations in the rectangular charge shape.

Magnesium alloys are very attractive materials for appling to the development of autemobile parts or electric goods where light weight and higher stiffness. Due to higher ratio of strength vs. weight and stillness vs. weight, various magnesium alloys are well applied in much weight saving design applications though extrusion or die-casting process. However for the requisites of higher strength and weight savings, some new fabrication processes has been and it can be realized though the aid of injection modeling technology. To obtain the parametric data base for the injection molding process, various experiments were executed for AZ91D magnesium alloy. This paper propose the optimum condition of injection temperature, first and second pressure. the process was lined-up successfully often changing the injection unit. fluid pressure system from the conventional plastic injection molding process.

The gate mark in injection molded part is a kind of surface defects. The formation of gate mark has been investigated in this study. SEM photographs and surface roughness have been examined to study gate mark. The specimens were molded for various injection conditions, such as injection temperature, mold temperature, and injection speed. Gate diameter and mold surface condition were also molding variables. Gate marks were reduced as injection speed and mold temperature increased. Gate diameter and injection temperature did not affect the gate marks. No etching of mold surface showed no gate marks for any molding conditions.

Injection molding product is commonly used for reducing the weight of automotive vehicle, and door regulator guide rail with plastic material is also made by injection molding process. In order to improve the injection molding performance of plastic regulator guide rail, optimal molding condition is suggested by numerical simulation and DOE after obtaining the sensitivity of parameters for regulator rail manufacturing on warpage and fill time. Furthermore, multi direct gate method and optimal cooling circuit are introduced to get the uniform temperature distribution and better cooling efficiency in molding product. The effect of the proposed design on the injection molding performance is verified by the test of prototype of plastic regulator guide rail.
