The effect of$H_{2}/N_{2}$gas sintering atmosphere on the carbon content and mechanical properties during the metal injection molding process of carbonyl iron-nickel powder was studied. The carbon content of the specimen after debinding in the pure$N_{2}$atmosphere appeared 0.78 wt%. After showing the maximum value of 1.48 wt.% in the debinding atmosphere of 10%$H_{2}/N_{2}$gas mixture, the carbon content of the debinded specimen decreased gradually with increasing the$H_2$content in the$H_{2}/N_{2}$gas mixture. The carbon contents of the sintered specimen were 0.46~0.63wt% in Na gas atmosphere, while they appeared extremely low above 40%$H_{2}/N_{2}$gas atmosphere. The relative sintered density increased abruptly from 88~90% to 93~96% with the addition of Ni, while the density nearly unchanged above 2% Ni addition. The sintered density increased with increasing the fraction of$H_{2} in H_{2}/N_{2}$gas mixture. Tensile strength and hardness increased, and elongation decreased with increasing carbon and Ni content. In spite of high carbon content of 0.63 wt%, the superior elongation value of 10% was shown.

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.

It is necessary to improve mechanical and optical properties in the optical disk substrates as the information storage devices with high storage density using blue laser are being developed. Injection compression molding is regarded as the most suitable process to manufacture optical disk substrates for quality recording and read-out. In the present research, the effects of mold temperature and the insulation layer thickness on gapwise birefringence and the land-groove pattern were investigated. It was found that the values of the birefringence distribution were very sensitive to mold temperature history, and the level of birefringence reduced and, furthermore, the quality of replication was improved due to the insulation layer.

This paper presents the design strategy for the optimal RTM molds of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) by carbon fiber draping and resin flow simulation. First, the mold shape and molding condition were determined considering the undercut and die face of the product in the draping simulation, which made the preliminary shape of the product by compressing the carbon fiber. After that, the diffusion behavior during the injection of resin in the mold was predicted by the resin flow simulation. Finally, the optimal mold shape was designed by selecting the locations of resin injection port and vent based on total results of simulations. In this paper, the mold of automotive side mirror case was selected as the representative product. Also, the actual mold was manufactured based on the simulation design to confirm the practicality of it. This study is expected to contribute to the industry as a technology to improve the reliability and productivity of CFRP producted by RTM process.

본 연구는 사출성형공정상에서 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 설계시에 미리 예측하여 좋은 설계를 얻기 위한 시도이다. 사출성형 관련 설계는 사출금형설계전문가의 축적된 지식과 경험을 활용하여 수행되어 왔으며, 설계에 필요한 설계자의 경험이 전무한 경우 많은 시행오치를 유발하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 백라이트 패널을 설계함에 있어 설계초기에 성형시 발생할 수 있는 성형성, 기계적 강도 등의 문제를 수치해석을 통하여 시뮬레이션 함으로써 시행오차를 최소화하고 성형성을 고려한 설계를 구현하고자 시도하였다.

High speed steels (HSS) were used as cutting tools and wear parts, because of high strength, wear resistance, and hardness together with an appreciable toughness and fatigue resistance. Conventional manufacturing process for production of components with HSS was used by casting. The powder metallurgy techniques were currently developed due to second phase segregation of conventional process. The powder injection molding method (PIM) was received attention owing to shape without additional processes. The experimental specimens were manufactured with T42 HSS powders (59 vol%) and polymer (41 vol%). The metal powders were prealloyed water-atomised T42 HSS. The green parts were solvent debinded in normal n-Hexane at $60^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours and thermal debinded at $N_2-H_2$ mixed gas atmosphere for 14 hours. Specimens were sintered in $N_2$, $H_2$ gas atmosphere and vacuum condition between 1200 and $1320^{\circ}C$. In result, polymer degradation temperatures about optimum conditions were found at $250^{\circ}C$ and $480^{\circ}C$. After sintering at $N_2$ gas atmosphere, maximum hardness of 310Hv was observed at $1280^{\circ}C$. Fine and well dispersed carbide were observed at this condition. But relative density was under 90%. When sintering at $H_2$ gas atmosphere, relative density was observed to 94.5% at $1200^{\circ}C$. However, the low hardness was obtained due to decarbonization by hydrogen. In case of sintering at the vacuum of $10^{-5}$ torr at temperature of $1240^{\circ}C$, full density and 550Hv hardness were obtained without precipitation of MC and $M_6C$ in grain boundary.

최근 차량 경량화를 통한 에너지 절감을 위해서 무거운 철강재료를 경금속이나 복합재료로 대체하는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 이중, 폴리머 기반의 복합재료는 사출성형을 통해서 복잡한 형상의 제작이 가능하고, 유리섬유나 탄소섬유를 함께 사용하여 철강재료 수준으로 기계적 물성을 높일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 하지만 엔진의 고온과 우기에서의 높은 습도 환경은 폴리머의 기계적 물성을 낮추기 때문에 재료선택 과정에서 반드시 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 사출성형을 통해 만들어진 유리섬유강화플라스틱을 엔진룸 내부 온도와 유사한 $85^{\circ}C$ 환경과 우기시의 최대 수분흡수 환경하에서의 기계적 물성변화를 인장시험을 통해 알아보았다. 그 결과, 고온환경에서 최대인장강도가 약 23% 감소를 보였고, 수분에 의해서는 약 30% 감소하였으며, 고온과 수분 모두에 대해서는 약 70% 감소를 확인하였으며 이는 재료 선정시 반드시 고려해야 할 영향으로 판단되었다.

본 연구는 사출 성형 공정을 통하여 제작되는 단섬유강화 플라스틱 복합재료의 구조해석 기법에 관한 내용으로 소재의 이방성 기계물성을 예측하고 이를 구조해석에 적용하도록 하였다. 사출 성형 공정을 통하여 제작되는 단섬유강화 플라스틱 복합재료의 구조해석에 있어서 기존의 경우는 일반적으로 소재의 기계적 물성을 균질 등방성 탄성 모델로 이용하여 왔으나, 실제 부품 파손 모드와 크게 상이한 경우가 많다. 이러한 점을 극복하고자 사출 성형 g,름 해석, 일방향성 복합재료의 Halpin-Tsai 식과 배향 평균 모델을 도입하여 단섬유강화 플라스틱 복합재료의 섬유배향 효과가 고려되도록 새로운 구조해석 시스템을 개발하였다. 해석의 정확도는 시편시험 결과와의 비교를 통하여 검증하였으며, 섬유 배향 및 웰드라인 영향 및 섬유 함량에 따른 변화가 해석에 장 반영됨을 확인하였다. 또한 자동차 부품에 개발된 해석 시스템을 적용하여 균질 등방 모델과 달리 부품의 위치별로 다른 기계적 성능이 반영되고, 사출 게이트 위치에 따라 유리섬유 배향이 변화하여 부품의 성능이 달라짐을 확인하였다.

사출성형에서 제품의 최종 품질에 영향을 미치는 중요한 인자들 중의 하나는 사출압력이다. 전통적으로 현장의 사출전문가는 오래된 현장 경험을 바탕으로 사출압력을 결정한다. 그러나 비전문가에게는 제품의 크기, 형상 그리고 사출공정의 전반적인 과정을 고려한 적절한 사출압을 결정하기가 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서는 퍼지 논리(fuzzy logic)를 이용하여 제품도면에 나와 있는 제품두께와 유동길이를 알면 쉽게 초기 사출압을 결정할 수 있도록 전문가의 경험을 규칙베이스화 하였다. 규칙베이스를 구성하기 위해서 현장 전문가들을 인터뷰하고 설문조사를 한 후 기술적인 문서를 작성하여야 하지만 본 연구에서는 사출성형 해석 프로그램인 C-Mold를 이용하여 수 차례의 시뮬레이션을 반복 수행하여 규칙베이스를 구성하였다.
