Feature 先進技術 Simulating flow can help avoid mould mistakes 利用模擬計算協助成形避免錯誤 本文探討的相分離(Phase separation)指的就是金塑分離(金屬粉末與黏結助劑)在完成生坯時的現象。文章中的英文由於是英式英文，與美式語法和拼字有差異，請讀者注意！ 日期：05, October, 2010 作者：Marco Thornagel 譯者：Dr. Q﹐晟銘電子科技股份有限公司 Trial and error sometimes produces answers for an experienced MIM operator faced with a problem in the mould. But modelling is increasingly being called into play to cut costs and save time before production starts. The author of this piece, Marco Thornagel from Sigma Engineering, explains how a mathematical model can fit in with the realities of production…試誤法是過去MIM製程的注塑操作員用來解決成形問題的一種方法﹐但隨著產品造型越來越複雜﹐對於如何生產開始之前就能考慮削減成本和節省時間的做法﹐作者Marco Thornagel以Sigma工程建立了一個數學模型能模擬生產的現實 Dedicated injection moulding simulation for MIM should not focus solely on general results such as weld lines or pressure loss. A further step is required. Phase separation is a major influence on the quality of the green part, and therefore on the visual and mechanical properties of the sintered product. 專用注塑成型模擬的MIM不應只聚焦在於一般結的果，如結合線或是壓力損失。更進一步的被要求到﹐相分離對生坯的品質而言有重大影響，也會對燒結產品的外觀和機械力學的性能有所影響。 Listen to industry; people often talk about “black lines” as an indicator for phase separation. It can be agreed that areas marked by “black lines” typically show an elevated binder concentration and cause real quality issues. During sintering these areas either become visual defects or true mechanical weak points. However “black lines” are not the origin of phase separation. In this area, cause and effect are easily confused. Phase separation can be predicted by adjusting a true 3D simulation for the specific needs and thermo-rheological particularities of MIM. 聆聽產業的聲音﹐人們經常談論的“黑線”是相分離的一個指標。這是可以同意的方式，看到“黑線”的區域通常顯示的黏結助劑的濃度升高，導致真正的品質問題發生。在燒結過程中，這些區域都成為外觀缺陷或機械性質降低的點。但是，“黑線”並不是相分離的起源(而是結果)﹐在這方面的因果關係很容易混淆。如何調整使相分離消失﹐具體需要和理解MIM的熱 – 流變學的特殊性，對MIM而言需要一個真正的三維模擬，可以預測相分離的方法。 The main challenge for the production of metal injection moulded parts is to control the long process chain.
