Powder Injection Molding (PIM) has recently been recognized as an advanced manufacturing technology for low-cost mass production of metal or ceramic parts of complicated geometry. With this regards, design technology of dental scaler tip PIM mold, which has complex shape, with the help of computer-aided analysis for powder injection molding process was developed. Compter aided analysis results, such as filling pattern, weldline formation, and air vent position prediction were investigated and eventually showed good agreements with experimental results.

Powder Injection Molding(PIM) has recently been recognized as an advanced manufacturing technology for low-cost mass production of metal or ceramic parts of complicated geometry With this regards, design technology of dental scaler tip PIM mold, which has complex shape and small core pin (diameter=0.6mm), with the help of computer-aided analysis of powder injection molding process was developed. Computer-aided analysis for dental scaler tip mold was implemented by finite element method with non-Newtonian fluid, modified Cross model viscosity, PvT data of powder/binder mixture. Compter-aided analysis results, such as filling pattern, weldline formation, air vent position prediction were compared with experimental result, and eventually have been shown good agreement. The core pin (diameter=0.6mm) deflection analysis of dental scaler tip PIM mold during PIM filling process was also investigated before mold fabrication.

In this study, the side panels were developed using the laser-welded Tailored Blanks (TB) with both the same thickness and the different thickness. At first, the formability of the same thickness T.B was investigated to be compared with one of the non welded panel with respect to weldline movements and strain distribution on blank during the stamping. Based on these results, we selected candidates of T.B with different thickness for stamping experiments. That is, we determined the weld line positions and the die step. Then we made some stamping tryouts with selected types of blank designs to investigate the formability of T.B with different thickness. During the tryouts, the wrinkles were found in the a-pillar lower region which is under the deformation mode of the shrink flange. In the b-pillar region, the fractures were found also, these defects have been reduced and corrected by controlling the blank design and the die faces and process pamameters.

Engineering design can be viewed as a decision making process, which involves the nonlinear tradeoffs task among the multiple conflicting attributes and considers the robustness of design. In order to obtain best engineering design, methodology for accurate assessment of his/her preference about the multiple attributes is required. Conventionally, intuitive procedures based on lottery questions are used to elicit the designer's preference structure: however, they can lead to inconsistent and inexact preference results due to the rank reversal problems derived from the designer's big cognitive burden. In this paper, alternatively, a design methodology based on multiattribute utility function through the pairwise comparison among alternatives is presented. The proposed procedure is applied to an actual injection mold design with the aid of the CAE simulation and the result is discussed.

Injection pressure is an important factor in filling procedure for injection molded parts. In addition, weldlines should be avoided to successfully produce injection molded parts. In this study, we optimally obtained injection molding process parameters that minimize injection pressure. Then, we determined the thickness of the part to avoid weldlines. To solve the optimization problem proposed, we employed MAPS-3D (Mold Analysis and Plastics Solution-3 Dimension), a commercial CAE tool for injection molding analysis, and PIAnO (Process Integration, Automation, and Optimization) as a commercial PIDO (Process Integration and Design Optimization) tool. We integrated MAPS-3D into PIAnO, automated the analysis and design procedure, and performed optimization by employing PQRSM (Progressive Quadratic Response Surface Method) equipped in PIAnO. We successfully obtained optimization results, which demonstrates the effectiveness of our design method.

The design and manufacture of injection molded polymeric parts with desired properties is a costly process dominated by empiricism including repeated modification of actual tooling. This paper presents and expert design evaluation system which can predict the mechanical performance of a molded product and diagnose the design before the actual mold is machined. The knowledge-based system synergistically combines a rule-based expert system with CAE programs. An iterative boundary pressure reflection method(IBPR) is developed to automate the cavity filling simulation program and to predict thermo-mechanical properties of a molded part precisely. Mathematical models of weldline and frozen-in molecular orientation are established to determine the spatial variation of microstructural anisotropies of a molded part from the result of cavity filling simulation. The strength ellipse is devised as and index which represents th spatial distribution of the microstructural anisotropies of a molded part, Heuristic knowledge of injection molding, flow simulation, and mechanical performance prediction is formalized as rules of an expert consultation system. The expert system interprets the analytical results of the process simulation, predicts the performance, evaluates the design and generates recommendations for optimal design alternative.

The runner system of the injection mould and the injection volume of the injection molding process greatly affect the quality of the produced part. The goal of this paper is the design of the runner system and the prediction of the injection volume for the injection moulding of a housing part of small-size air cleaner to improve the formability through the three-dimensional injection moulding analysis. The effects of the runner system of the mould on the injection moulding characteristics are investigated. From the results of the investigation, a proper design of the runner system with uniform filling characteristics and the minimized defect formation is obtained. In addition, the influence of the moving distance of the screw on filling characteristics, weldline formation and deformation characteristics is examined. From the results of the examination, an appropriate moving distance of the screw for the housing part of small-size air cleaner is estimated.

사출성형에서 사출압력은 제품의 특성을 결정하는 주요인자이므로 성형품의 품질 향상을 위해 사출압력은 최소화 되어야 한다. 또한 휨 변형과 웰드라인은 사출성형에서의 대표적인 불량요인으로 사출성형품의 품질 향상을 위해 방지되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 사출성형품의 품질 향상을 위해 설계 절차를 2 단계로 나눈다. 첫 번째 설계에서는 공정조건을 제어하여 사출압력과 휨 변형을 최소화 하기 위해 직교배열표를 이용한 전산실험을 수행하고 이를 이용하여 근사모델을 생성한 후 최적설계를 수행한다. 두 번째 설계에서는 유동경로 개선을 통한 웰드라인의 발생을 방지하기 위해 해석모델의 두께를 변경하고 웰드라인 발생 유무를 평가한다. 이러한 설계절차를 통해 사출압력과 휨 변형을 최소화하면서 웰드라인을 방지하여 본 논문에서 제안한 설계방법의 유효성을 보이고자 한다.

고주파 유도가열은 전자기 유도현상을 이용하여 금형표면을 비접촉 형태로 급속 가열할 수 있는 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 고주파 유도가열을 사용하여 사출금형의 표면을 급속으로 가열함으로써 휴대폰 사출성형품의 웰드라인을 제거하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 고주파 유도가열 실험을 통해 3초간의 가열로 금형 표면온도를 $143^{\circ}C$까지 가열함으로써 고분자수지의 유리전이온도 이상으로 급속 가열할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 상기 고주파 유도가열을 적용하여 휴대폰 외장부의 사출성형을 실시하여 기존에 발생되었던 웰드라인을 성공적으로 제거할 수 있었다. 또한 유도가열시 가열조건(고주파 유도가열기 출력 및 가열시간)의 변화에 따른 웰드부 표면특성의 변화를 고찰하였다.

고분자 복합재료 제조공정인 수지이동성형(RTM) 공정은 최근 들어서 고성능 재료를 필요로 하는 항공산업분야에서 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소/관할부피 기법을 도입한 수치모사를 통해서 수지이동 성형공정에서의 금형충전단계를 해석하였다. 섬유직조망의 투과계수를 정량적으로 측정하고, 또한 수치모사에 이용된 프로그램을 검증하기 위하여 유동가시화 실험을 수행하였다. 실험에 사용된 강화섬유와 수지물질로는 여러 가지 형태의 섬유직조망과 실리콘 기름을 선택하였다. 수치모사와 유동가시화 실험을 병행함으로써 섬유직조망의 구조, 금형의 구조, 금형삽입체가 금형충전단계에서의 수지 유동선단의 형태에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 모델링에 의해 예측된 유동선단은유동가시화 실험을 통해 관찰된 결과와 잘 일치한 것으로 나타났으나, 금형내 불균일한 섬유부피분율로 인해 섬유조직망의 투과계수가 전 영역에서 일정한 값을 가지지 못하기 때문에 약간의 차이를 보여주었다. 원형의 구조물이 금형내에 삽입되어 있는 경우, 월드라인의 위치를 예측된 유동선단으로부터 정성적으로 추정할 수 있었다.
