In this paper, a theoretical study has been made to reduce the residual stress and birefringence in the injection-molded parts. An optimization program has been used to minimize the residual stresses and birefringence calculated from a simulation program. The thermally induced stress has been calculated using a linear viscoelasticity model. The flow stress and birefringence has been calculated using the Leonov's viscoelasticity model. This has been applied to the injection molding of a circular disc and a plate. the optimization has been done either by changing process variables while maintaining the mold temperature constant or by varying the mold-wall temperature with time. This study shows the significant reduction in residual stress and birefringence is possible through the optimization of processing conditions.

The purpose of this research is to develope a FEM program for analyzing solidification processes of axisymmetric casting, considering phase changes and the contact between the metal and mold. Tempera- ture recovery method is employed fro considering the phase changes releasing the latent heat and the coin- cident node method is used for calculating the amount of heat transfer between the metal and mold. Tan- gent modulus algorithm is adopted for calculating flow stress and a gap element is employed for modeling the interface between the mold and metal in finding deformed shapes. In order to verify the developed program, axisymmetric aluminum and steel casting processes are simulated. Temperature distribution, phase front position, and shrinkage and porosity creation are compared with measurements, FIDAP results, and good agreements are examined.

In the present study the new method was proposed by using the real-time X-ray observation and metal die in order to evaluate fluidity and viscosity of the molten metal during pouring into the mold. The special mold for the present experiment was introduced since X-ray could not transmit thick mold wall and scatter the image of the molten metal during pouring. The present study also discussed for evaluation of viscosities by using the flow data from radioscopy images, and the viscosities of six commercial aluminum alloys were evaluated and compared.

To shorten the delivery time for new products, a lot of prototype plastic parts manufacturing technologies have been developed including injection molding, vacuum casting, thermal forming and so on. Among them, RIM is becoming one of a important soft tooling methods to produce prototype and mass production parts within short time. Further more, as the rapid prototyping technology based tooling methods are playing an important role in prototype manufacturing industry, the utility of the RIM is increasing. But few analyses and mold design techniques have been developed so far due to its chemical and mechanical complexity during the packing and curing process. This research suggests mold gate design criteria to prevent bobbles from molded parts through simplified mathematical model and change of bubble sizes according to the geometry of the molded parts through experiments. Also this study shows the differences of bobble generation mechanism between RIM and injection molding.

The rapid thermal response(RTR) molding is a novel process developed to raise the temperature of mold surface rapidly in the injection stage and then cool rapidly to the ejection temperature by air or water. The objectives of this paper are to investigate the effect of mold temperature, pressure and thickness of micro pattern molding and to provide a optimization of RTR injection molding for micro pattern from Moldflow simulation. Optimal minimum temperature and pressure was found without shortcut according to thickness. Filling percentage was influenced by glass transition temperature with the kinds of resin. Optimal temperature is slightly higher than glass transition temperature irrespectively of pressure, thickness, the kinds of resin in the micro pattern molding.

Injection molding is representative process of plastic production. Most of numerical analyses for injection molding have been based on the Hele Shaw's approximation: two-dimensional flow analysis. The present work covers numerical analyses of injection molding using three-dimensional solid elements. The accuracy of the analysis results has been verified through some numerical examples in comparison with the various conditions. In this study, moldflow software was used to analyze the cooling analysis. The results of cooling analysis and testing catapult were compared for plastic products.

프레스 부품의 형상은 고객 요구와 공정단축 및 비용절감으로 점점 복잡하게 변하고 있다. 또한 프레스공정은 많은 인자의 영향으로 양산 중에도 안정성이 수시로 변하고 있다. 공정의 안정성을 확보하는 데는 형상, 소재, 프레스, 금형 및 윤활에 대한 사전 연구가 충분히 되어 허용된 공차 안에서 재현성이 구현되는 공정을 수립해야 한다. 하지만 예측하지 못한 공정인자들의 변화는 양산라인 정지와 생산계획에 차질을 현장에서 야기 시키고 있다. 이에 프레스금형에 센서를 적용해 실시간 공정을 모니터링 할 수 있는 방법을 본 논문에선 소개한다. 비접촉식으로 판재의 흐름을 측정하는 센서와 그 중 양산에 적용 가능성이 높은 광학센서를 사용한 실험 사례를 제시했다. 원통드로잉금형에 광학센서를 설치해 소재, 블랭크홀더힘, 드로잉비를 변화시키며 센서의 사용 가능성을 테스트했다. 또한 각통드로잉 금형을 사용해 국부적으로 다른 판재의 흐름을 정량화 했고 측정값이 소재의 연신에 의해 드로잉 깊이보다 항상 작다는 것을 정량적으로 측정하였다. 마지막으로 프레스 금형에 센서를 접목시켜 사용할 수 있는 분야에 대해 제안을 하였다. 원가절감에 대한 Needs가 지속적으로 증가하고 이를 통해 글로벌 금형경쟁력을 확보해야하는 시점에 기여가 되었으면 한다.

최근 대형 복합재료 구조물 성형에 적합한 공정으로 주목받는 vacuum assisted RTM (VARTM) 공정에 있어, 보강섬유의 조직 내부에 잔류하는 공기를 제거하여 기공함유율을 낮추는 기술의 중요성이 인식되고 있다. 거대기공 혹은 불완전 함침영역은 부적절한 주입구 및 공기배출구의 위치, 혹은 금형의 형상에 의해 발생한다. 미세기공은 불균일한 수지 유동선단의 속도로 인해 유동선단 부분에서 집중적으로 형성되며, 금형충전 공정 도중 수지와 함께 이동한다. 성형이 완료된 제품내의 잔류 기공들은 완성품의 물리적 성질을 저하 및 제품의 파손을 초래할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 VARTM 공정에서의 기공의 형성 및 이동을 해석할 수 있는 통합된 거시적/미시적 해석 방법을 개발하였다. 수치해석 프로그램을 개발하여 VARTM 공정에서의 3차원 수지 유동을 해석하였으며, 그에 따른 거대기공 및 미세기공의 분포를 예측하였다.
