The mechanical properties and fracture toughness of permanent mold cast austempered gray cast iron(AGI) were compared to those of sand cast AGI. The iron was melted to eutectic composition in order to get better castability especially in permanent mold casting. Specimens prepared for tensile, impact and fracture toughness test were austenitized at $900^{\circ}C$ and austempered at $270^{\circ}C$ and $370^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The strength, impact and fracture toughness of permanent mold cast AGI were found to be superior to those of sand cast AGI. The maximum value of 836 MPA in tensile strength, was obtained at the austempering temperature of $270^{\circ}C$. But ductility of AGI was not improved by permanent mold casting.

Five-axis machining has been applied to manufacture of turbine blades, impellers, marine propellers. Nowadays it extends to mold & die machining, where more productivity as well as added value is expected. The five-axis machining can be divided into positional and continuous, according to the variableness of tool orientation during material removal process. The positional five-axis machining is commonly applied to the regional machining on a whole part surface in mold manufacturing industry, where the tool orientation for each region (area) should be determined to be feasible, that is, avoiding any interference such as machine tool collision, etc. Therefore it is required for a CAM programmer to decide a feasible tool orientation in generating tool-paths on a designated area, because it is a very tedious job to obtain such information by utilizing a commercial CAM system. The developed system generates feasibility data on tool orientation and machining region, which facilitates the CAM programmer's decision on a feasible tool orientation.

FIM(Film Insert Molding) is an innovative method of producing decorated parts for a wide range of products. Because it requires fewer steps when compared to conventional production methods, the time and cost of manufacturing high quality components can be reduced considerably. In this paper, the effects of processing conditions on the warpage of film-insert molded plate were investigated by using a design of experiments. The dominant factors affecting warpage were mold temperature and holding pressure. Warpage increased with the temperature difference between stationary mold and fixed one. Even when the mold temperature difference was zero, the plate with a film was bent after ejection such that the film side protruded. As holding pressure increased, warpage decreased significantly. In addition warpage increased with time increment for the film-insert molded plates.

As a representative method for mass production, a multi-cavity type mold capable of simultaneously molding products of the same shape can be applied. It has the advantage of improving the productivity from several times to several tens of times, but it may cause disadvantages which is the quality deviation with each cavity. This study, therefore, has tried to increase the cavity filling balance by using a melt flipper and a flow distance control part in the runner part of the mold. Along with this, the design and manufacturing of air vents during injection molding have been verified through experimental methods to achieve a higher level of multi-cavity filling balance and dimensional accuracy.

본 논문의 목적은 수치해석을 통한 자동차 와이퍼 소켓 부품 제작용 오버몰딩 금형의 냉각 시스템 설계이다. 초기 금형설계에 대한 수치해석을 수행하여 제품내 높은 온도 분포를 나타내는 열집중 영역을 도출하였다. 열집중 영역의 냉각특성 개선을 위하여 직선형 냉각수로와 체적 열 흡수부의 2 가지 냉각시스템을 고려하였다. 직선형 냉각수로의 설계를 도출하기 위하여 냉각수로의 직경과 위치가 냉각 특성과 제품 품질에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 또한 체적 열 흡수부 설계가 제품 냉각 특성과 변형에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 최종적으로 체적 열 흡수부가 추가된 다중 슬라이스 오버몰딩 금형이 냉각 특성과 제품품질을 동시에 향상시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Double-injection molding can inject two different materials or two colors in the same mold and process. If this injection process use, product has ability because the base part maintain strength and specified part can inject soft-material. It makes the cost down by single operation automatically for saving wages. In this paper, we designed double-injection mold for automobile remote control to inject secondary using this part as insert after inject external appearance of product. CAE analysis was progressed gate location and runner size as variable and analysis result is reflected in mold design process. As a result, it could solved badness that is generated at the conventional mold. Additionally, cost is downed by reducing loss of runner as well as could omit painting process because surface of finished product is improved through new mold.

In this study, during the injection molding process, a device was manufactured and evaluated that calculates a cooling time by measuring a vibration signal generated from a mold using an acceleration. The last two parts, one of which has a large magnitude change in the measured vibration signal of a mold, were divided into a cooling start section (paking end section) and a mold opening section, and the time difference at the relevant points was calculated as the cooling time. The cooling time was monitored on a 5-inch light guide plate mold by applying the method. The manufactured device was attached to a fixed base of mold to measure the cooling time, and data was obtained remotely using Bluetooth technology. Then, the measured cooling time was compared with the cooling time set in the injection molding machine to evaluate the accuracy. As a result of the experiment, the cooling times measured by the devices were 15.675±0.024 sec, 20.637±0.014 sec and 25.623±0.079 sec of each conditions. Also, the measurement results were shown with errors of 0.655±0.044 sec, 0.637±0.014 sec, and 0.662±0.013 sec, respectively.

The students from Korea, China, and Japan participated to demonstrate the design and manufacturing skill of die and mould. Based on the given product drawing of Test Work, progressive die should be designed and manufactured. Also, production of Test Work should be carried out. This study had been conducted to participate in the grand prix and to learn practical knowledge and experience from real die design and making. Test Work is made of SPCC and includes piercing, blanking, deep drawing and burring. From the analysis of product drawing, process planning and die design was carried out. Progressive die for Test Work was manufactured using CNC milling, grinding, wire-cutting and polishing. The production was successfully completed using mechanical press and product showed very good accuracy satisfying all dimensional tolerances.

Presented in the paper is an approach to developing an intelligent mold shop as a means to overcome the difficulties faced by mold-makers due to skill shortages and increased global competition. A machine shop where as much as of the human skills are replaced by a set of intelligent systems is called an intelligent machine shop, and an intelligent mold-making machine shop is called an intelligent mold shop(MS). By analyzing the contents of operator's skill. three intelligent S/W stations have been designed: Technical Data Processing(TDP) Station, Loading Schedule Station, and Real-time Monitoring Station. A detailed architecture of the TDP station is described, and measures of effectiveness of IMS are elaborated.

In this study, to develop a flash-less mold for forming of shoe-outsole, experiments and forming analysis were carried out. In order to reduce the extra-materials, offset method and mass distribution method are used in the preform design. The vertical mold structure pressing the preform was introduced to produce a flash-less shoe-sole. To measure the contact status of parting surface of mold, the pressure film has been used. The guide-gutter system and the continuous pressing mold have been developed for the discharge of extra-materials and re-pressing. By the investigation, flash of shoe-outsole was considerably reduced.
