In the present study, an evaluation technology for heating channel layout was investigated in SMC molding system design. Conventional design rules of cooling channel in injection molding process were applied to the present work. Finite element thermal analysis with ANSYSTM was performed to evaluate the temperature distribution of mold surface. SMC mold was manufactured to test the effect of a proposed heating channel layout system on the temperature distribution of mold surface and infrared camera was applied to a measurement of temperature. It was shown that infrared camera application was possible in a measurement of temperature distribution on mold surface.

Recently, semi-stack mold have been developed for satisfying the various elements required in the mold industry. The mold is possible using with general-purpose injection molding machine by weight reduction through the improvement of the mold structure. In order to do that, tension core, spiral cooling system and half runner system were applied. It is effective for increased productivity and decreased of loss to the materials. However, the mold is required the filling balance in order to improve the quality and efficiency. Thus this study performed that optimum design and analysis of semi-stack mold for filling balance.

Objective: To investigate and compare the slot sizes and parallelism of metal injection molding (MIM) and computerized numerical control (CNC) brackets. Methods: The following four MIM bracket series with 0.022-inch (in) slots were selected for investigation: Di MIM mini Twin (Ortho Organizers), Mini Diamond Roth (Ormco), Gemini MBT (3M Unitek), and Formula R Roth (Tomy). The following four CNC bracket series with 0.022-in slots were selected for investigation: Econoline MBT (Adenta), Legend mini MBT (GC Orthodontics), Crown mini MBT (Adenta), and Evolve MBT (DB Orthodontics). The slot dimensions were measured using an optical microscope (XTCam-D310M; Mitutoyo) with a resolution of 1 ㎛. The results were statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and the Tukey post-hoc test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results indicated that all the investigated slot sizes were oversized with respect to the manufacturers' specifications (0.022 in). Among the eight bracket series, the Di MIM bracket (MIM) was the most oversized by 10.4%, whereas the Evolve bracket (CNC) was the least oversized by 2.6%. The slots in seven of the bracket series had divergent walls instead of parallel ones. The Evolve bracket alone had parallel slot walls. Conclusions: Regardless of the manufacturing method, all the slot sizes of the brackets investigated in this study were significantly oversized; most of the slot walls were nonparallel, except for those of the Evolve bracket. This study could not establish that the CNC method was more accurate than the MIM method in manufacturing bracket slots.

플라스틱 사출성형은 원재료를 한 번의 가공으로 최종 제품을 만들 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 사출성형을 위해서는 금형의 설치, 플라스틱 수지의 용융, 용융수지의 사출, 성형품의 취출 등을 위하여 사출성형기는 반드시 필요하다. 사출성형기는 여러 가지 방법으로 구분되는데, 본 연구는 현재 국내 A사에서 생산되고 있는 토글식 사출성형기를 대상으로 한다. 연구내용으로는 사출성형기의 여러 부품 및 주요한 플레이트에 대하여 3차원 모델링을 실시하고, 3차원 캐드상에서 조립하여 사출성형기의 전체 구조를 파악하였다. 그리고 에너지 및 생산비 절감을 위하여 주요 플레이트에 대하여 유한요소법을 이용하여 사출압력과 형체력 적용시의 플레이트에 발생하는 스트레스와 변위를 분석하고, 그 결과를 토대로 플레이트를 개선하였다. 개선된 플레이트를 대상으로 유한요소 재해석을 통하여 고정플레이트는 약 2.7%, 이동 플레이트는 약 3.5%, 테일 스톡은 약 6.9%의 중량 감소 결과를 확인하였다.

Translucent alumina is a potential candidate for high temperature application as a replacement of the glass or polymer. Recently, due to the increasing demand of high power light emitting diode (LED), there is a growing interest in the translucent alumina. Since the translucent property is very sensitive to the internal defect, such as voids inside or abnormal grain growth of sintered alumina, it is important to fabricate the defect-free product through the fabrication process. Powder injection molding (PIM) has been commonly applied for the fabrication of complex shaped products. Among the many parameters of PIM, the flowability of powder/binder mixture becomes more significant especially for the shape of the cavity with thin thickness. Two different positions of the gate were applied during PIM using the disc type of die. The binder was removed by solvent extraction method and the brown compact was sintered at $1750^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours in a vacuum. The flowability was also simulated using moldflow (MPI 6.0) with two different types of gate. The effect of the flowability of powder/binder mixture on the microstructure of the sintered specimen was studied with the analysis of the simulation result.

고분자 재료로 된 자동차부품들은 주로 사출성형으로 제작되며, 이 과정에서 뒤틀림, 침전 흔적, 용입선, 수축, 잔류응력 등의 결함이 발생한다. 본 연구를 통해서 이들 결함을 제거할 수 있는 차량용 폴리카보네이트 버튼의 사출성형 공정변수를 실험계획법을 이용하여 최적화 하였다. 공정변수로는 충전압력, 금형온도, 용융온도, 충전시간을 고려했으며 FEM, 다구치법, ANOVA를 사용하여 해석하고 최적화 하였다. 최적화 결과, 충전압력은 140 MPa, 금형온도는 $105^{\circ}C$, 용융온도는 $292.5^{\circ}C$, 충전시간은 1초, 등의 공정변수 값을 얻었으며, 10.2의 S/N 비를 얻었다. 수지의 용융온도가 가장 큰 영향을 미치며, 그 다음으로 금형의 온도였다.

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are attracting attention because of their excellent properties and functions; however, they are relatively expensive compared with commercial alloys. Therefore, various efforts have been made to reduce the cost of raw materials. In this study, MIM is attempted using coarse equiatomic CoCrFeMnNi HEA powders. The mixing ratio (powder:binder) for HEA feedstock preparation is explored using torque rheometer. The block-shaped green parts are fabricated through a metal injection molding process using feedstock. The thermal debinding conditions are explored by thermogravimetric analysis, and solvent and thermal debinding are performed. It is densified under various sintering conditions considering the melting point of the HEA. The final product, which contains a small amount of non-FCC phase, is manufactured at a sintering temperature of 1250℃.

In this study, the compressibility of resin was considered in filling analysis to account for the possible packing type flow. A numerical simulation program employing a hybrid finite element/finite difference scheme was developed to solve Hele-Shaw flow of the compressible viscous fluid at non-isothermal conditions. To advance the melt front, a control volume approach was adopted. Thin complex 3-D shapes of cavities, runners, and sprues were discretized by employing triangular, cylindrical and/or rectangular strip elements. Mass conservation was applied to each control volume to solve for the pressure distribution. Directly applying a constant mass flow rate at the inlet removes calculation of the apparent pressure boundary conditions, resulting in better simulation condition. The Cross model was used to model viscosity and the Tait equation was employed to represent density as a function of temperature and pressure. The validity of the developed program was verified through comparisons with available data in the literature and the effect of compressibility on the pressure distribution was discussed. To reduce computation time, 1-D and 2-D elements were used instead of applying triangular elements and the numerical results were compared to each other.

Recently, the demands of digital camera and miniature camera module for mobile-phone is increased significantly. Lenses which is the core component of optical products are made by the injection molding(plastic lens) or GMP(glass lens). Plastic lens is not enough to improve the resolution and performance of optic parts. Therefore, the requirement of glass lens is increased because it is possible to ensure the high performance and resolution. In this paper, the thermal stress analysis of 3 cavity GMP mold for molding glass lens was performed for estimating the thermal stress and amount of deformation. Finally, the modification plan based on the analysis results was deducted.

Sinks occurring in the rib portion of the testing product for the unpainteds are fatal defects at surface quality. In this study, we carried out moldflow analyses for several factors that affect the sinks. The result tells us large important effective factors on sinks by analyzing sink marks estimate. We expect practical use as reference for performing analysis or manufacturing products with rib designs and injection moldings which minimize sink-marks surrounded ribs.
