In this paper, we studied the effects of mold temperature on the microstructure of injection molded parts. The weld line decreases in length and width as mold temperature increases. We investigated the dimensional stability of the parts made of two kinds of resin(polypropylene and polystyrene) by varying the mold temperature. As the mold temperature is high, both the shrinkage ratio and the thickness difference for the PS parts decreases. But the observation of PP parts shows a tendency to increase. The easiness of cavity filling and transcription of the mold texture is improved as the mold temperature is high.

The injection molding process has been developed as a very important technology for the automotive and electric industries in recent years. But, in the injection molding products with rib-web structures, partial deformation by thermal volumetric shrinkage called Sink Mark, is occurred. In this study, to make explicitly characteristics of sink mechanism, an experimental approach was taken by using multi T-shaped mold cavity and FEM simulation. As a result, pressure on the packing process and the rib thickness are the most effective on sink mark depth. On the other hand, melt temperature has no effect on sink mark depth fot the same rib thickness.

본 연구에서는 기존 고압주조법의 해결과제인 고속충진 시 혼입되는 금형 cavity 내부의 유해 gas에 의한 gas porosity를 제어하기 위한 고속 사출 전 진공시스템 설계와 응고과정에서 발생되는 응고수축에 의한 shrinkage를 효과적으로 제어하기 위한 국부가압 스퀴즈의 조합시스템의 설계로 최적의 기계적 성질을 갖는 부품을 제조할 수 있는 공법을 개발하였다. 또한 개발된 신공법으로 자동차용 고내마모성 요구부품인 Reaction Shaft Support에 기존의 주철제를 대체하는 Al-15wt.%Si 과공정합금을 적용하여 시제품을 제조하였으며, 기존의 공법과 비교한 결과, 내부 porosity가 없는 미세하고 균일한 공정 및 초정 Si의 미세조직을 얻을 수 있었고, 기계적 특성평가에서도 매우 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Injection molded plastic parts have many surface defcts: Warpage, wedline, flowmark, zetting, scratching, shading and so on. In the desktop mnitor's case, Weld line have been one of the main surface defects. Nowadays in the pursuit of light weight of parts, one of the big problems of LCD Monitor thinks Warpage and surface shrinkage. In this paper, we introduce some instances for prevevting these defestcs in the side of mould drawing, parts drawing and processing condition. Based on these, we tried to find out the optimum processing conditions through repeatedly tried injection moulding after reflecting these instances.

This paper describes the process of structure analysis and injection molding analysis to manufacture the forming injection dies for huge glass insert. Factors such as filling time, filling pressure, material temperature, shrinkage, warpage were investigated by using the analysis software, Moldflow. Runner system and cavity structure were designed and manufactured through the results of deformation analysis data for glass insert. Filling time and filling pressure were analyzed in 3.756sec and 43.37MPa.

The die design of the liquid and semi-solid forming process is performed by CAE technology, The die design by the computer simulation has some advantages compared with the conventional method which has been performed by the designer's experiences in trials and emu. The defect zones such as porosity and shrinkage has been predicted by simulation results. The result of the numerical analysis for the proposed casting condition shows the characteristics of thixotropic flow, and was used to determine the geometry of the gating system and die cavity. The optimized production conditions were also proposed by result of computer aided engineering.

A large steel ingot needs to be larger and larger in size and an ultra high clean, no defect in quality with a low hot top ratio for the resent heavy industry. The demands are very difficult to achieve simultaneously because of their contradictive effect to each other in results. In this study, 30ton steel ingot was cast in a foundry with an optimized design parameter of cast mold and cast process conditions for the low hot top ratio, 12%. The cast ingot was analyzed in macro defect, segregations, and cleanness. No macro defect was founded in central surface of the ingot. The degree of segregation and cleanness are in the controlled range with a sound quality.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of fibrous $A1_2O_3-(m-ZrO_2)/t-ZrO_2$ composite were investigated depending on the dimensional array. By the change of stacking arrangement of fibrous filaments, 2 and 3-dimensional fibrous composites were successfully obtained without bulk defects such as shrinkage cavity and cracks. The maximum mechanical properties were achieved In the 3-dimensional array composite, due to the fine fibrous and dense microstructure control, in which the values of vickers hardness, fracture toughness and bending strength were about 1507 Hv, $7.2MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ and 650 MPa, respectively.

The aluminum die-casting technique has been widely used to manufacture a rotor in motor industry because of its highly productivity, even though it sometime causes the various type of defects in the rotor, such as shrinkage, cavity, blow holes etc. which results in the decrease of the efficiency of system. Therefore the development of reliable technique to detect the flaws in the rotor is strongly needed not only to control quality assurance but to improve its efficiency. In this study, the wide variety of ultrasonic techniques have been applied to detect the flaws in the rotor and then to discuss the detectibility of the flaw and the applicability for NDE tool in the aluminum die-casting rotor.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the polymerization shrinkage and modulus of elasticity of composites on the cusp deflection of class V restoration in premolars. The sixteen extracted upper premolars were divided into 2 groups with similar size. The amounts of cuspal deflection were measured in Class V cavities restored with a flowable composite (Filtek flow) or a universal hybrid composite (Z-250). The bonded interfaces of the sectioned specimens were observed using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The polymerization shrinkage and modulus of elasticity of the composites were measured to find out the effect of physical properties of composite resins on the cuspal deflection. The results were as follows. 1. The amounts of cuspal deflection restored with Filtek flow or Z-250 were $2.18\;{\pm}\;0.92{\mu}m$ and $2.95\;{\pm}\;1.13\;{\mu}m$, respectively. Filtek flow showed less cuspal deflection but there was no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). 2. The two specimens in each group showed gap at the inner portion of the cavity. 3. The polymerization shrinkages of Filtek flow and Z-250 were 4.41% and 2.23% respectively, and the flexural modulus of elasticity of cured Filtek flow (7.77 GPa) was much lower than that of Z-250 (17.43 GPa). 4. The cuspal deflection depends not only on the polymerization shrinkage but also on the modulus of elasticity of composites.
