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.

The sink mark on boss parts is generated by the volumetric shrinkage that is caused by both the molding thickness and the boss wall thickness. The volumetric shrinkage is caused by packing pressure and its amount tends to decrease by increasing the packing pressure. The packing pressure can therefore increase the flow rate to a boss part and causes the depth of sink mark to increase. As the molding thickness and the boss wall thickness in the boss part can increase the part volume, these may yield bad solidifying and also extend the molding cycle. In this paper, both the injection molding test and the flow analysis were carried out to investigate the effect of sink mark that was generated in the boss wall thickness of injection molded products. The sink mark could also be caused by thickness ratio of boss part. For a given thickness ratio of boss, several molding process parameters such as packing pressure, packing time and melt temperature, affecting to generation of the sink mark were discussed

In this paper, we propose a DCT coefficient domain watermarking scheme, which makes use of the sinusoidal patterns created by the watermark embedding. The embedded watermark can be detected in the spatial domain by computing the correlation. Also, the proposed algorithm can detect the spatial synchronization without additional sync bit embedding. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is robust to various StirMark attacks.

Supplementary features in injection molded products, which are boss, rib and snap fit, are mainly located in the products. These features might make molding flow improper in injection processing and consequently give rise to some of molding troubles such as short shot and hesitation. The sink mark on boss parts is generated by the volumetric shrinkage that is caused by both the molding thickness and the closed boss height. The volumetric shrinkage is affected by packing pressure and its amount tends to decrease by increasing the packing pressure. The packing pressure can therefore increase flow rate to a boss part and causes the sink mark depth to increase. As the molding thickness and the closed boss height in the boss part can increase the part volume, these may yield bad solidifying and also extend the molding cycle. In this paper, both the injection molding test and the flow analysis were carried out to investigate the effect of sink marks generated in the boss part of injection molded products.

This paper describes the optimization of injection molding conditions to minimize sink marks. Sink marks, which refer to a small depression on the surface opposite a thick wall thickness, are often encounted in injection molded plastic parts. Part geometry, material properties and processing conditions during injection molding can affect the sink mark depth. We designed the runner system which is possible balanced filling to cavities using CAE program $Moldflow^{TM}$ and then obtained optimal processing conditions by Taguchi's Robust Design technique. By actual injection molding using optimized mold and molding conditions, it confirmed that sink mark depth decreased zero compared to 1mm level in the conventional mold and process.

본 논문에서는 확대, 축소, 회전 등과 같은 선형, 비선형 왜곡이 포함된 이미지에 대해, 이미지의 외곽선을 찾아서 이미지를 보정하고 싱크 마크(Sync. Mark)를 사용하여 데이터를 샘플링하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 외곽선을 찾기 위한 방법으로 허프 변환(Hough Transform)을 사용하였으며, 찾아낸 외곽선을 이용하여 이미지의 영역을 인식하고, 이미지의 왜곡을 줄이기 위하여 이미지 와핑(warping) 기법을 적용하였다. 이미지의 비선형 왜곡을 보상하기 위하여 이미지의 싱크 마크(Sync. Mark)를 공분산(covariance)을 사용하여 인식하고 샘플링 위치를 보정하였다. 또한, 제안된 알고리즘은 Over Sampling 자체를 하나의 이미지 확대로 인식하여 처리하기 때문에 어떠한 Over Sampling 에도 적용 가능하다.

So far, an alternator pulley has been formed by cold forging and casting with a metal due to the necessity of its high strength. Various advantages such as the light weight, the low cost, and the high productivity can be obtained by the injection molding process using engineering plastics. Engineering plastics have an excellent performance in the characteristics off strength vs. weight, a good forming ability and a productivity. The object of this study is to develop an alternator pulley, which has been made with a metal, using the injection molding process based on Taguchi methods. A sink mark is considered as a characteristic parameter to improve the quality. The FEM Simulation CAE tool, Moldflow, is used for the analysis of injection molding process.

사출성형품의 품질특성으로 외관, 치수, 기계적 강도 등이 있으나 조립부품으로써 사 될경우에는 치수가 주요한 품질이 된다. 성형품은 용융수지의 특성상 사출공정 중 수축을 일으키므로 이를 고려해서 금형설계가 이루어지지만 실제 사출과정에서 공정변수를 최적화 하여 관리하지 않으면 허용오차 내의 치수를 얻기가 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 주요조립부의 치수가 허용오차 내에서 얻어지도록 설계시 적용된 수축률과 측정된 수축률의 차이를 목적 함수로 하여 최소화 시키며 반복이차계획 알고리즘을 채택한 IDESIGN 프로그램을 이용해 최적 사출성형조건을 구하였다. 제약조건은 성형품의 부위별 수축률 편차 및 싱크마크 깊이 가 공정변수의 부등호 제약식으로 도출되었고 성형이 이루어지는 공정변수의 상하한 값이 최대 및 최소 경계값으로 적용되었다.

PFP성형기술은 사출성형시 수지를 금형내에 환전히 채운후 저압의 공기를 이용하여 기포를 발생시켜 수지의 체적수축분을 기포의 성장에 의해 보상해주는 기술이다. 이방법은 일반 사출성형에서 많이 발생하는 싱크마크나 휨과 같은 변형문제를 해결하여 줄수 있으며 높은 압력을 필요로하지 않는다는 잇점을 가지고 있으나 이러한 최신공정에 대한 체계적인 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 최근에 제시된 PFP성형공정의 모델링은 기포의 성장이 수지의 체 적수축에 의한 것이라는 가정을 근거로 기포핵이 생성된 이후의 기포성장을 모사하였으며 모델링에 해석결과는 몇가지 가정에도 불구하고 실험결과를 잘 설명하였다. 본 연구에서는 모델링이 가지는 문제점을 분석하고 기포성장의 메카니즘을 보다 체계적으로 이해하기 위하 여 실험적인 방법을 적용하였다. 많은 인자들을 효과적으로 고려하기 위하여 실험계획법을 적용하였으며 이를통하여 기포핵의 생성과 기포의 성장에 공기압 등이 매우 중요한 역할을 한다는 사실을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 모델링과 함께 PFP공정에 대한 체계적인 이해 뿐만 아니라 금형설계 및 성형조건의 설정등의 실제적인 문제해결에도 도움이 될것으로 기 대된다.
