샌드위치 사출성형 공정은 기존의 사출성형 공정이 가지지 못하는 여러 장점들로 인해 최근 산업적으로 주목 받고 있는 고분자 가공 공정이다. 이 공정의 해석적인 접근은 거의 불가능하므로, 본 연구에서는 수치모사를 통해서 샌드위치 사출성형의 충전 공정을 연구하였다. 수치모사는 기본적으로 유한요소법을 사용하였고 Flow Analysis Network(FAN)/관할체적(Control Volume)법 등을 함께 이용하였다. 그리고 skin polymer의 선단을 확인할 수 있는 기존의 충전율 변수와 함께 skin polymer와 core polymer의 경계를 표시하는 새로운 충전율 변수를 도입하였고 이것을 이용하여 core polymer의 선단을 추적하였다. 새로운 충전율 변수는 두께 방향으로 온도장을 풀기 위해 나눈 각 층에서 정의되었다. 수치모사에 사용된 skin polymer와 core polymer로는 물성이 다른 두 고분자 물질을 주입시켜서 나타나는 충전 형태를 비교했다. 즉, 점도 상수, power-law 지수 등과 같은 유변 물성이 다른 두 고분자 물질을 충전시키기 위해 공정상 필요한 입구에서의 압력 등을 계산했으며 나중에 들어가게 되는 core polymer의 충전 완료 후 금형 내에서의 두께 방향과 흐름 방향으로의 분포 등을 구하였다. 또한 실제 공정 상에서 가공조건에 해당되는 switchover time과 벽 온도 등의 조건을 바꿔가면서 수치모사를 진행하였다. 사례 연구를 통하여 얻어진 물성과 가공 조건에 따른 core polymer의 충전 형태와 입구에서의 압력 등은 샌드위치 사출성형의 산업적 이용에 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

It was attempted to develop an auto part by over molding injection mold that produces precision products in high productivity with use of an eco-friendly TPE substitute material for NBR. NBR is currently used in motor gear cover, one of the key parts in motor module for auto doors. Gear cover is composed of plastics and rubber mostly today, which requires a two (2) step process for production using two presses of different types. A hot press is used at this time for forming the rubber, which has drawback of requiring a rather long forming time of 400 seconds for one forming process. Even though this difficulty is overcome by reducing production time through employment of multi-cavity molds, time for forming process must be shortened for improvement of the productivity eventually, and the existing method of insert injection for products that have been formed with plastic material must be outgrown. In this point of view, over molding injection using TPE has a big advantage. Forming time is shortened to 54 seconds, and working the two (2) processes in series by one (1) press could solve the durability problem caused by deflection of the plastics, not to mention shortening the process time. Enhancement of productivity by almost 80% and improvement in the accuracy of the product could thus be achieved.

본 연구에서는 볼트의 원활한 성형이 이루어지도록 볼트의 성형 공정 중 2단계에서 시행하던 압출공정을 4단계로 옮기고 2단계와 3단계에서는 볼트 머리부 성형만 이루어지도록 공정을 조정하여 해석하였다. 그 결과 약간의 수정으로 원활한 성형이 이루어 졌으며 접촉압력은 수정 전보다 1단계에서는 감소하고 2단계에서는 증가하였으며, 최대유효응력, 유효변형율, 성형력은 수정전보다 1, 2단계에서 모두 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

The production of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics(CFRTP) parts using an injection/compression molding process that differs from the conventionally used fabrication methods was investigated Before the application of composite molding in the injection/compression molding process, a simple compression molding experiment was performed using a hydraulic press machine to determine the characteristics of resin impregnation and to obtain a basic physical property data for the CFRTP. Based on these results, injection/compression molded specimens were manufactured and an additional insert/over molding process was applied to improve the impregnation rate of the molded specimens. The results demonstrated that the tensile strength of the molded parts using the faster injection/compression process was similar to that of a hydraulic press molded product.

It is very a time-consuming and error-prone process to obtain the optimal injection condition, which can produce good injection molding products in some operational variation of facilities, from a seed injection condition. This study proposes a new approach to search the optimal injection molding condition using a neural network and a genetic algorithm. To estimate the defect type of unknown injection conditions, this study forces the neural network into learning iteratively from the injection molding conditions collected. Major two parameters of the injection molding condition - injection pressure and velocity are encoded in a binary value to apply to the genetic algorithm. The optimal injection condition is obtained through the selection, cross-over, and mutation process of the genetic algorithm. Finally, this study compares the optimal injection condition searched using the proposed approach. with the other ones obtained by heuristic algorithms and design of experiment technique. The comparison result shows the usability of the approach proposed.

Polymers such as polypropylene or polyethylene offer a unique feature of producing an integral hinge, which can flex over a million times without causing a failure. With such advantage manufacturing, time and cost required at the assembly stage can be eliminated by injecting the whole part as one piece. However, due to increased fluidity resistance at hinges during molding, several defects such as short shot or premature hinge failure can occur with the improper selection of gate locations. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize flow balancer in injection molding of part with hinges before actually producing molds. In this paper, resin flow patterns depending on several gate positions were investigated by numerical analyses of a simple strip part with a hinge. As a result, we found that the properly determined gate location leads to better resin flow and shorter hesitation time. Finally, injection molding tryouts using a mold that was designed one of the proposed gate systems were conducted using polypropylene that contained 20% talc. The experiment showed that hinges without defects could be produced by using the designed gate location.

This research covers the development of axi-symmetric plastic elements for injection molding with insert steel such as high stiffness Sabot. The functional requirements of sabot are concentricity and fracture resistance about vertical and horizontal forces. For these, an analysis of characteristics of PEI(polyetherimide) polymer is performed by standard test specimen with accordance of ASTM test guidance. Moldflow analysis and simulation of injection molding process are carried out in order not only to estimate of the warpage but also to predict the characteristics of residual stresses which both product and structure of mold may have. A new vertical side injection machine and transverse mold have been constructed. Results of the measuring concentricity and fracture test after molding of sabot are satisfied to design specification over Cp $ratio{\geq}1.33$. Finally, this technique needs more research application to others axi-symmetric elements having different radius with insert steel md structure analysis from now on.

3-Dimensional System in Package (3-D SiP) structure (Amkor calls it mPossum-molded Possum) using double side Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and double side molding was evaluated in order to achieve small/thin form factor as well as good functionality by integration and double side layout. As the new platform on laminate substrate basis, molding process was challenge in mold flow balance at top and bottom side and package warpage control over the overall assembly process. There were two types of different molding process evaluated with 1) 1-step molding which was done at both side at the same time and 2) 2-step molding which was done at the conventional molding process twice. Mold simulation helped to narrow down the material selections and parameters available before actual sample build. There were many challenges for this first trial in design/ parameter and material types but optimized them to enable this structure.

Various manufacturing technologies, including over-molding and insert-injection molding, are used to produce hybrid plastics and metals. However, there are disadvantages to these technologies, as they require several steps in manufacturing and are limited to what can be reasonably achieved within the complexities of part geometry. This study aims to determine a practical approach for producing metal/plastic hybrid components by combining plastic injection molding and metal die casting to create a new hybrid metal/plastic molding process. The integrated metal/plastic hybrid injection molding process developed in this study uses the proven method of multi-component technology as a basis to combine plastic injection molding with metal die casting into one integrated process. In this study, the electrical conductivity and ampacity were verified to qualify the new process for the production of parts used in electronic devices. The electrical conductivity was measured, contacting both sides of the test sample with constant pressure, and the resistivity was measured using a micro ohmmeter. Also, the specific conductivity was subsequently calculated from the resistivity and contact surface of the conductor path. The ampacity defines the maximum amount of current a conductive path can carry before sustaining immediate or progressive deterioration. The manufactured hybrid multi-components were loaded with increasing currents, while the temperature was recorded with an infrared camera. To compare the measured infrared images, an electro-thermal simulation was conducted using commercial CAE software to predict the maximum temperature of the power loaded parts. Overall, during the injection molding process, it was demonstrated that multifunctional parts can be produced for electric and electronic applications.
