walls Dong Gyu Ahn 1 Dae Won Kim 2 and Yeol Ui Yoon 3 1 Department of Mechanical Engineering Chosun University Gwang Ju 501 751 Korea 2 Incheon Service Division KITECH Incheon 406 840 Korea 3 Chun Bok Injection Mold Inc Gwang Ju 1233 12 Korea Manuscript Received April 24 2009 Revised September 21 2009 Accepted October 12 2009 Abstract The objective of this paper is to examine the influence of injection molding parameters on the core shift to obtain the optimal injection molding conditions of a plastic battery case with thin and deep walls using numerical analyses and experiments Unlike conventional injection molding analysis the flexible parts of the mold were represented by 3 D tetrahedron meshes to consider the core shift in the numerical analysis The design of experiments DOE was used to estimate the proper molding conditions that minimize the core shift and a dominant parameter The results of the DOE showed that the dominant parameter is the injection pressure and the core shift de creases when the injection pressure decreases In addition it was shown that the initial mold temperature and the injection time hardly affect the core shift The results of the experiments showed that products without warpage are manufactured when the injection pressure is nearly 32 MPa Comparing the results of the analyses with those of the experiments optimal injection molding conditions were deter mined In addition it was shown that the core shift should be considered to simulate the injection molding process of a plastic battery case with thin and deep walls Keywords Optimal injection molding condition Core shift Thin and deep walls Battery case Design of experiments 1 Introduction One of the recent concerns in the automotive industry is the reduction of overall weight to improve fuel efficiency and re duce a vehicle s environmental impact 1 3 The injection molding process of thinner plastic components allows consid erable weight savings on the automotive a significant reduc tion in production cost and a shorter cycle time 1 Various studies are actively undertaken in an effort to develop the injec tion molding process of thin wall plastic parts 1 High injec tion pressure and high injection speed are necessary to manu facture plastic parts with thin and deep walls 4 However a high injection pressure can give rise to a core shift which is the spatial deviation of the position of the core during injection molding 5 Shepard et al found that the mold design and injection molding conditions strongly affect the core shift of the mold 6 Leo et al reported that the deflection of weak plates in the mold causes variations in the thickness of the product and the over packing of moldings 7 Bakharev et al reported that core shift effects in injection molding can be pre dicted through mold filling simulation coupled with an elastic analysis of the flexible parts of the mold 4 In this paper the influence of injection molding parameters on the core shift in the injection molding of a plastic battery case with thin and deep walls is examined to estimate an op timal injection molding condition The design of experiments is used to estimate a proper molding condition minimizing the core shift as well as to determine a dominant molding pa rameter Several experiments are carried out to obtain an op timal injection pressure Comparing the results of numerical analyses with those of the experiments the optimal injection molding condition is acquired The effects of the core shift on the quality of the product are also discussed 2 Numerical analysis and experiments In order to simulate the core shift and injection molding characteristics a three dimensional injection molding analysis was performed using the commercial code MPI V6 1 Fig 1 illustrates the analysis model The dimensions of the battery case are 164 4 mm W 251 4 mm L 184 0 mm H The maximum and minimum thicknesses of the walls are 2 7 mm and 1 8 mm respectively The depth of the walls is 168 7 mm The runner system consists of a conical sprue with an initial This paper was presented at the ICMDT 2009 Jeju Korea June 2009 This paper was recommended for

analyses 3 Results and discussion 3 1 Results of injection molding analysis and DOE Fig 3 and Table 2 show the results of the injection molding analysis The flexible parts of the core were deformed in iden tical directions regardless of the combination of injection molding conditions as shown in Fig 3 Fig 3 and Table 2 show that the deformations of the F1 F5 and F6 parts of the core were greater than 0 1 mm and flexible parts of the core deformed symmetrically In addition it was noted that the shifts of the F2 and F3 parts are negligible in comparison with those of other parts From the results of the injection molding analysis the S N and contribution ratios were calculated for the F1 F5 and F6 parts of the core with relatively large core shifts Fig 4 and Table 3 show the results of the DOE In Fig 4 it can be seen that the S N ratios of the injection pressure the holding time the injection time and the initial mold tempera ture are maximized when their values are 30 MPa 1 6

is nearly 76 3 and that the contri bution ratio of the injection pressure is markedly higher than that of the other parameters From these results it was noted that the dominant parameter which mainly affects the core shift is the injection pressure The variation in S N ratio and the contribution ratio for the injection time and the initial mold temperature are negligible as shown in Fig 4 and Table 3 From these results it was noted that the injection time and the initial mold temperature hardly affect the core shift 3 2 Results of the experiments Using the results of the DOE the experimental conditions of injection time holding time and initial mold temperature were set at 1 6 seconds 4 4 seconds and 40 o C respectively The injection pressure was varied in the range of 27 32

injection molding conditions of the tested plastic battery case with thin and deep walls were determined as an injection pres sure of 32 MPa an injection time of 1 6 seconds a holding 148 D G Ahn et al Journal of Mechanical Science and Technology 24 2010 145 148 time of 4 4 seconds and an initial mold temperature of 40 o C The results of the experiments were compared to those of the numerical analyses as shown in Fig 6 Fig 6 a shows that the difference in wall thickness between the analyses and the experiments is reduced from 0 15 mm 0 18 mm to 0 09 mm 0 07 mm when the core shift is considered in the nu merical analysis In addition it was noted that the thickness variation of the walls is properly predicted by the core shift analysis Fig 6 b shows that the core shift appreciably affects the post deformation pattern of the molded product and the numerical analysis accounting for the core shift can predict the post deformation of the product within 0 15 mm of computa tional accuracy The results of the numerical analyses show that the injection pressure is reduced from 50 2 MPa to 32 0 MPa when the core shift is considered This is due to in creased cavity volume induced by the elastic deformation of the core Based on the above results it is noted that injection molding analysis accounting for the core shift can properly simulate the injection molding process of the battery case with thin and deep walls 4 Conclusions The influence of injection molding parameters on the core shift in the molding of a plastic battery case with thin and deep walls was investigated using numerical analysis and the ex periment The elastic deformation of the core was considered to reflect core shift effects on the numerical analysis Through nu merical analysis and DOE it was shown that the injection pressure is the dominant process parameter affecting core shift and that the core shift decreases when the injection pressure decreases In addi tion it was noted that the injection time the holding time and the initial mold temperature hardly affect core shift It was demon strated through experiments that the molded product without war pages can be manufactured at an injection pressure of approxi mately 32 MPa Comparing the results of the numerical analyses with those of the experiments the optimal injection molding con ditions were obtained In addition it was shown that the core shift should be considered to accurately simulate the injection molding process of a plastic battery case with thin and deep walls References 1 R Spina Injection moulding of automotive
