In gravity die casting, die cooling systems are frequently employed with water cooling to remove the heat of the solidifying metal. Thermal modeling is an important technique in mold design for improving the productivity of the process. Computer simulation system which consists of pre-processor, main solidification simulator and post-processor has been developed for three dimensional solidification analysis of cyclic gravity die casting. The pre-processor is used for mesh generation in a PC system. The modified finite difference method is adopted for the main solidification simulation algorithm during all the casting cycles. The post-processor graphically presents the simulation results. Several experiments in automotive cast piston were carried out. The temperature variations in casting and mold with time are measured experimentally, and the results are compared with calculation results. The effects of cycle number on solidification pattern are also studied. Several experimental results for the prediction of shrinkage defects are compared with calculated results.

This study was numerically investigated on thermal deformation of AC4C and AC7A aluminum alloy casting material for manufacturing the automobile tire mold. The metal casting device was used in order to manufacture the mold product of automobile tire at the actual industrial field. The temperature distribution and the cooling time of these materials were numerically calculated by finite element analysis. Thermal deformation with stress distribution was also calculated form the temperature distribution results. The thermal deformation was closely related to the temperature difference between the surface and inside of the casting. As shown by numerical analysis result, the thermal deformation of AC7A casting material became higher than AC4C casting material. In addition, the results of displacement and stress distributions appeared to be larger at the center parts of casting than on its sides because of the shrinkage caused by the cooling speed difference.

The injection molding process is suitable for manufacturing complicated plastic products. As the customer request higher quality products increase, realization of the precise dimensional and shape controls is getting more important. For this purpose it is important to obtain uniform cooling procedure over the whole surface of the high temperature molded plastic. Failure to this may lead to different shrinkage speed, internal stresses and unwanted shape deformations. It is necessary to distribute coolant flow rates to the main channel and to the sub-channels properly to insure uniform cooling process when there are parallel cooling channels. In this study, three-dimensional turbulent flow simulations for representative parallel cooling channels were performed. To insure the intended flow rate to each sub-channels, various shape designs for the channel system were investigated. The results show that as the Reynolds number increases the effect of shape design is more profound. Through the proper flow distribution, uniform cooling effects would be expected.

Micro-structure components applied to various disciplines are steadily demanded with lighter weight and better quality. This is because that ultra thin-wall injection molding has been paid attention with a lot of benefits such as cost reduction, shorter process period, and so forth. However, this technology is complicate and difficult to obtain high quality of products compared with conventional injection molding due to warpage caused by uneven shrinkage and molecular orientation. Since warpage of products directly affects product quality and overall performance of devices, it is essential to predict deformation behavior to achieve high precision of molded products. Therefore, this study aims to find out adequate thin-wall mold design for FPC connector housing by employing Moldflow simulation before application. In addition, experimental research is performed by using a fabricated mold structure based on simulated results to prove accuracy and reliability of the suggested simulation for warpage analysis.

Gas-assisted injection molding (GAIM) process reduces the required injection pressure during mold filling stage as well as the shrinkage and warpage of the part and cycle time. Despite of these advantages, this process needs new parameters and makes the application more difficult because gas and melt interact during the injection molding process. Important GAIM factors involved in this process are gas penetration design, locations of gas injection points, shot size, delay time to inject gas as well as common injection molding parameters. In this study, the experiments are conducted to investigate effects of GAIM process variables on the gas penetration for PP (Polypropylene) and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) moldings by changing the gas injection point. Taguchi method is used for the design of the experiments. When the gas is injected at a cavity's center, the most effective factor is the shot size. When the gas is injected at a cavity's end, the most effective factor is the melt temperature. The injection speed is also an effective factor in GAIM process.

플라스틱 재활용에서 물성변화에 대한 신뢰성의 확보는 재활용을 확대시킬 수 있는 중요한 과제이다. 폴리 스틸렌과 같은 열가소성수지는 재활용이 가능하지만 재활용 수지에 대한 균일한 물성의 신뢰성이 부족하기 때문에 제한적으로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구는 고강도 폴리 스틸렌(HIPS)을 대상으로 재활용의 정도에 따른 물성의 변화를 실험적으로 수행하였다. 재활용을 하지 않은 수지와 재활용 수지를 중량비를 기준으로 혼합하여 실험을 수행하였으며, 이에 따른 기계적인 물성의 변화를 측정하였다.

Generally, Aluminum is superior to durability, light, and characteristics of the material are embossed luminant. So, these characteristics of aluminum will be used automobile interior parts by aluminum injection moulding. Especially, The external of Aluminum plate is engraved differing pattern by roller working. This working can use any longer and be seen gracefully. This is the reason why aluminum insert moulding is used. This feature of research can be characterized by simple process to customize aluminum sheet of blanking and forming process with internal parts of configuration if products are injected by aluminum sheet. Besides, to analysis completed Automobile interior parts to be concerned volumetric shrinkage, best gate location, fill time analysis and so on through the mold-flow before the aluminum insert moulding is worked.

이 연구는 부착형 정착 장치를 갖는 CFRP(carbon fiber reinforced polymer) 긴장재의 정착에 관한 실험 연구이다. 적절한 채움재를 도출하기 위해 예비 실험을 수행하였고, 에폭시 또는 콘크리트 모르타르와 같은 5종의 재료가 채움재로 사용되었다. 실험 결과 무수축 모르타르를 사용한 시편에서 최대 인장강도를 보이므로 이 연구에서는 CFRP 긴장재용 강관 몰드의 채움재로써 무수축 모르타르를 결정하였다. 예비 실험으로 도출된 채움재를 이용하여 강관 몰드의 적정 제원을 도출하기 위해 외경, 두께 및 길에 대한 추가 실험을 수행하였다. 이 실험을 통해 무수축 모르타르를 사용한 강관 몰드의 적정 제원이 도출되었고, 이러한 제원의 강관 몰드로 정착된 CFRP 긴장재는 안정적인 인장 성능을 보였다.

Funtional metal prototypes are often required in numerous industrial applications. These components are typically needed in the early stage of a project to determine form, fit and function. Recent R/P(Rapid Prototyping) part are made of soft materials such as plastics, wax, paper, these master models cannot be employed durable test in real harsh working environment. Parts by direct metal rapid tooling method, such as laser sintering, by now are hard to get net shape, pores of the green parts of powder casting method must be infiltrated to get proper strength as tool, and new type of 3D direct tooling system combining fabrication welding arc and cutting process is reported by song etc. But a system which can build directly 3D parts of high performance functional material as metal part would need long period of system development, massive investment and other serious obstacles, such as patent. In this paper, through the rapid tooling process as silicon rubber molding using R/P master model, and fabricate wax pattern in that silicon rubber mold using vacuum casting method, then we tranlsated the wax patterns to numerous metal prototypes by new investment casting process combined conventional investment casting with rapid pototyping & rapid tooling process. with this wax-injection-mold-free investment casting, we developed new investment casting process of fabricating numerous functional metal prototypes from one master model, combined 3-D CAD, R/P and conventional investment casting and tried to expect net shape measuring total dimension shrinkage from R/P part to metal part.
