This paper presents the inertial force problem of ultrahigh-speed injection molding machine using linear motors, and presents its solutions. To make very thin products by injection molding, very high injection speed is required, and linear motors are used for this purpose. But direct drive by linear motors may cause brief nozzle separation from the sprue bushing because of the inertia force as large as the total output thrust of the linear motors, and this momentary separation can cause molten plastic leakage. In this paper, two solutions are proposed for this inertia force problem. One is the mechanical cancellation of the inertia force, and the other to increase the nozzle contact force. With the latter solution, the stationary platen bending worsens, so a new nozzle contact mechanism is also proposed, which can prevent the stationary platen bending.

본 연구는 광통신용 아답타의 필수품인 플랜지 개발을 위한 금속분말 사출성형해석에 관한 내용이다. 금속분말 사출성형법은 세라믹 또는 스테인레스 분말과 바인더를 혼합하여 복잡한 형상의 사출성형품을 제조하는 기술로써, 지금까지 가공기술로 제작이 복잡하거나 생산성이 저조한 제품들에 대한 생산을 대체 할 수 있는 기술로 관심을 받고 있다. 연구 목적은 기존의 기계가공을 통해 제작했던 제품에 대해 공정을 최소화하기 위함이다. 사출성형해석을 위해 먼저 스테인레스 계 STS316 금속분말과 바인더를 6대4 비율로 혼합하여 과립형 펠렛의 사출 성형재료를 완성하여 해결하였다. 이후, 3차원 모델링, 모델의 메시화 작업 등을 수행하여 최적의 사출성형 해석조건(금형 온도, 용융 온도, 사출 시간, 사출 온도, 사출 압력, 충진 시간 및 냉각 시간 등)을 도출하였다. 해석결과 성형품은 최초 사출 후 13.29초가 경과되면 취출이 가능하였다. 또한 용융수지는 스프루, 러너, 게이트를 거쳐 금형 내부까지 유동 및 충전이 안정적으로 진행되어 양호한 성형품의 제조가 기대되었다.

페놀수지는 열경화성 수지로서 우수한 내열성 및 기계적 물성을 가지고 있다. 하지만 열경화 특성으로 인해 사용 후 재활용이 어렵고, 전체 생산량의 15~20%가 스프루와 런너 형태로 폐기되고 있다. 4만 톤의 페놀수지 스프루와 런너가 버려지고 있으며 폐기된 페놀 스프루와 런너 처리비용은 연간 200억원으로 추정된다. 본 실험에서는 폐기되는 스프루와 런너를 분쇄하고 폴리에틸렌과의 표면접착력 향상을 위해 실란 표면처리를 하였다. 분쇄된 입자의 크기는 100~1000um의 분체와 1~100um의 미분으로 나누어 실험하였다. 분쇄된 페놀은 실란 작용기에 따른 특성을 평가하기 위해 3-(Methacryloyloxy) propyltrimethoxysilane 과 Vinyltrimethoxy silane으로 처리되었다. 입자의 크기를 분석하기 위해 입도분석기를 사용였다. 열적 특성은 DSC(Differential Scanning Calorimetry)와 HDT(heat deflection temperature)를 통하여 분석하였다. 기계적 물성의 측정은 UTM(universal testing machine)과 notched izod impact tester로 평가하였다. 전처리한 페놀수지 파우더를 첨가시, 고밀도 폴리에틸렌(HDPE)의 열변형온도가 $77^{\circ}C$에서 최대 $96^{\circ}C$까지 향상되었으며, 결정화도와 결정화 온도가 증가하였다. 결론적으로, 실란 전처리 하지 않았을 경우와 비교했을 때 충격강도는 50%가 인장강도는 20%가 상승하였다.

The delivery system such as sprue, runner and gate is a waste of resin in injection molding operation. In this study the reduction of runner size has been investigated using injection molding CAE softwares, Moldflow and Moldex3D, and commercial CFD Softwares, Fluent and Polyflow. To verify the computational results experiment was performed. There were three considerations in deciding optimal runner size in this study: minimum pressure at the gate that makes resin fully filled in the cavity, minimum runner size that compensates shrinkage of resin in the cavity, and frozen layer thickness formed in the runner during injection. Through the computer simulations the optimal runner size that satisfies those three considerations has been decided. Although the computational results among the softwares were slightly different, it was enough to predict the optimal runner size. The previous runner diameter was 8 mm and predicted optimal size was 5 mm. This was verified by injection molding experiment. Thus, the way of CAE application in deciding optimal runner size adapted in this study would be appropriated.

Typical characteristics of medical device parts are that they can not be reused and there are many disposable products. Therefore, there is a need for an injection molding machine having excellent repeatability of molding conditions and a precision injection mold for mass production. Recently, the performance of an injection machine has made a remarkable evolution compared to the past. However, defects such as short-shot, flash, weld line, gas burning, warpage, and deformation, which are typical defects, still do not disappear at all. This is due to the lack of gas ventilation from the product cavities, even if the gas is smoothly vented from the sprue and runner of the mold. For this reason, the internal pressure of the cavity rises and is directly connected to the quality defects. In this study, an active gas vent system was designed to prevent defects due to trapped gas in the cavity. Since it can be easily adjustable in response to the molding conditions and the mold temperature changes, it is expected to improve productivity due to the reduction of the defective ratio.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the titanium castability (internal porosity) between pressure type casting machine & centrifugal casting machine with air-vent or not. Internal porosity is a well-known problem in dental titanium casting, resulting in inferior mechanical properties of dental restorations. To evaluate the castability, the square plate was chosen. 40 plate patterns($20{\times}20{\times}1.8mm$)were attached to funnel-shaped sprue. Then 20 plate patterns were attached air-vent. They were invested in titanium investment material and cast in a pressure type casting machine(20castings) and centrifugal casting machine(20castings). Each group were divided with air-vent(10castings) or not(10castings). The titanium castings were evaluated by radiographic photograph for the location of the internal porosities. The percentage porosity of each specimen was determined using standardized digital radiographs. The results were analyzed with analysis of variance and t-test for paired comparison between two groups.

Casting defects, which are closely related to entrapped air bubbles and metallic oxides, occur very frequently in the casting process. Many researchers have shown that these defects can be reduced by adopting an appropriate gating system design. But, it is difficult for field engineers to identify a specific gating system that is more appropriate for their products. In this study, we tried to draw a comparison of gating system designs with and without ceramic foam filters. A ceramic foam filter was added to the horizontal runner just after the sprue to prevent air bubble generation and to reduce turbulence without change of the gating system design. To verify the effects of initial pouring velocity, the experiment was conducted with four different amounts of water volume in the reservoir. Results of the water modeling experiment applying the filter showed remarkably changed flow characteristics. Although the study confirmed that use of the filter may change the flow characteristics, it needs to be noted that only filter use alone cannot solve all the problems caused by a poorly designed gating system.

IPS-empress system is one of widely used all ceramic system. The purpose of this study was to determine the pressing accuracy of reused IPS%Empress ingot. 10 specimens were made using new ingot first, and using the rests of the specimen the another group of specimens were made next. finally, the third group of specimens were made with same procedure mentioned above. The results obtained in this study were as follows ; 1. The pressing accuracy of the first group of specimen was 96.1%, that of the second group was 95.4%, and that of the third group was 95.4%. There was no statistical significance among them, that is, the reuse of the IPS-Empress ingot did not influence on the pressing accuracy. 2. the common site of the defect in pressed ingot was central area at the margin opposite of sprue hole.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of vent on the marginal discrepancy of PFM base metal castings. Eighteen identical wax patterns of a maxillary 3 unit anterior bridge were fabricated. Nine cases out of them were vented with $\phi$2.5mm sprue wax, for direct comparison as to the marginal discrepancy of the castings with the other non vented 9 ones. The mean value of marginal discrepancies of the vented castings was $85.02{\pm}25.57{\mu}m$, and that of the non vented was $163.21{\pm}69.88{\mu}m$ respectively. Statistical analysis revealed that marginal discrepancy of the vented casting was significantly reduced(p<0.05).
