In the design of injection molds, the temperature distribution and deformation of the mold is one of the most important parameters that affect the flow characteristics, flash generation, and surface appearance, etc. Plastic injection analyses have been carried out to predict the temperature distribution of the mold and the pressure distribution on the cavity surface. As the input loads, we transfer the temperature and pressure results to the structural analysis. We compare the structural analysis results with the thermal expansion effect using the actual flash and step size of a smartphone cover part. To reduce the flash problem, we proposed a new mold design, and verified the results by performing simulations.

일반적으로 사출성형법은 유동, 보압, 냉각과정등 크게 3단계로 나눌 수 있는 데 유동해석에 관한 수치해석은 Tadmor 등이 FAN(Flow Analysis Network) 방법을 도입하면서 실제 적용에 활발히 쓰이고있다. 그리고보압은 후충전 과정으로써 충전이 끝난후 수축된 부분을 보상하기 위해서 수행되는 단계이다. 본 연구에서는 실제 사출금형 제작 시 결정해야 될 냉각 채널의 위치, 크기, 수동에 대한 설계기준을 얻을 수 있는 냉각해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이를 위하여경계 요소법(Boundary Element Method)을 이용하였으며 일반적인 냉각 채널 즉, Annual, Baffle 및 Bubber등 에 대한 해석이 가능하도록 하였다.

In recent years, several rapid-mold-heating techniques that can be used for the injection molding of thin-walled parts or micro/nano structures have been developed. High-frequency induction heating, which involves heating by electromagnetic induction, is an efficient method for the rapid heating of mold surfaces. The present study proposes an integrated numerical model of the high-frequency induction heating process and the resulting injection molding process. To take into account the effects of thermal boundary conditions in induction heating, we carry out a fully integrated numerical analysis that combines electromagnetic field calculation, heat transfer analysis, and injection molding simulation. The proposed integrated simulation is extended to the injection molding of a thin-wall part, and the simulation results are compared with the experimental findings. The validity of the proposed simulation is discussed according to the ways of the boundary condition imposition.

The objective of this study is to design the conformal cooling channels for the mould of a plastic drawer of a refrigerator by analysis of three-dimensional injection molding. In order to obtain the desired design of the conformal cooling channels, the influence of the diameter and the position of the conformal cooling channels on the moulding characteristics and the product qualities were quantitatively examined. From the results of the examination, an optimal design of the conformal cooling channels, which ensures uniform cooling and minimum potential deformation of the molded drawers, was estimated. By comparing the designed mould and a conventional mould with linear cooling channels from the viewpoints of the product qualities as well as cooling and cycle times, it was shown that the mould with conformal cooling channels can simultaneously improve the productivity of the injection moulding process and the product qualities.

사출성형(Injection Molding)은 생산성이 좋으며 마무리가공을 거의 필요로 하지 않는 정형 형태( net shape)로 제조가 가능하고 복잡한 형상을 만들 수 있어 고분자 재료의 대부분이 사출성형법에 의해 성형 되고 있다. 최근들어 가볍고 강도가 매우 높은 고분자재료의 개발로 전기전자 제품은 물론 자동차, 항공기 등의 생산에 이르기까지 사출성형의 중요성은 더욱 가속화되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 복잡한 형상과 여러 형상의 캐비티를 갖는 경우에는 동시에 충진이 완료되기가 어렵다. 따라서, 다른 캐비티가 충진되고 있는 동안에 먼저 충진이 된 캐비티에서 고분자 수지는 압축을 받고있기 때문에 사출성형품의 치수정밀도를 향상시키기 위한 좀더 정확한 압력과 온도분포를 예측하기 위하여 기존 의 충진과정과 충진후과정(보압, 냉각과정)을 분리하여 해석 하는 것이 아니라 충진과정과 충진후과정을 동시에 해석할 수 있는 프로그램(program)을 만들었다.

Injection molding is one of the widely used polymer processing operations. It is being used for not only conventional injection molding but gas injection molding, water injection molding, and injection compression molding. Injection compression molding involves injection and compression operation, and it gives uniform physical property and high dimensional quality of product. In this study, injection compression characteristics for various product shapes have been investigated by computer simulation. Product containing side wall showed not much effective in injection compression molding since wall thickness direction was perpendicular to the compression direction. Uniform and low shrinkage was observed in injection compression molding comparing conventional injection molding. Subsequently injection compression molding can be used for molding precise product. Optimal injection compression molding condition was obtained using design of experiment for plastic lens and the results were compared with conventional injection molding.

In this study,we conducted an injection molding analysis of metal powder materials for the development of flanges, which are necessary adapters for optical communication. The metal powder injection molding process is a technique for producing an injection molded article having a complicated shape by mixing ceramic or stainless powder and binders. It is used to produce products which require complex processing technology or for which the productivity is low. The purpose of this study is to minimize the manufacturing processing of products which are manufactured through existing mechanical processing procedures. For the injection molding analysis, we mixed stainless STS316 metal powder with binders at a ratio of 6 to 4 to make molding materials consisting of granular pellets. Then, three-dimensional modeling and meshing were carried out to obtain the optimal injection molding analysis conditions(molding temperature, melting temperature, injection time, injection temperature, injection pressure, packing time and cooling time). As a result of the analysis, it was discovered that the inlet became available 13.29 seconds after the first injection. Also, as the flowing and packing in the melt through the sprue, runner and gate were stable, it is expected that good molds can be manufactured.

This paper deals with anisotropic property and structural analysis for short fiber reinforced plastic composites manufactured by the injection molding process. The common approach for modeling this type of material is the consideration of the material as homogenous and isotropic. However, the common isotropy approach often results in unexpected failure. To overcome this, new structure analysis methodology was developed in order to consider fiber orientation effect using injection mold flow analysis and Halpin-Tsai equations for unidirectional composites and taking an orientation average. The numerical predictions are compared to experimental data for tensile specimen. The predicted mechanical properties agree well with experimental data for fiber orientation and weld line effect. The analysis system was also applied to an automobile part. The proposed anisotropic model predicted different mechanical properties by position of the part and different mechanical performance of the part was changed according to injection gate position.
