The present paper implements a methodology for redesigning and repairing injection molding parts based on the frontal process for developing concepts. The proposed methodology helps in the validation through Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) in the designing stage using CAD software, ensuring the quality of the repair. Furthermore, the redesigned development has been carried out in the best way to obtain a better cooling, robustness, or plastic flow. In this research is implemented the proposed methodology in a Hot Runner System. Furthermore, a numerical simulation for three cases to evaluate the heat transfer and cooling times performed, finding the main differences in heat transfer due to drilled or milled rectangular channels, minimizing the time to reach ejection temperature and mold/part temperatures.

Results have been obtained for three types of specimens: without artificial pitting, specimens with one artificial pitting hole and specimens with two close artificial pitting holes. Results show that fatigue endurance is reduced in the case of one pitting hole and considerably for two close pitting holes. In order to explain this behavior, numerical analysis by FE were carried out to determine the stress concentrations for the three types of specimens. It is found that the stress concentration for two close pitting holes is an exponential function of the separation between the two holes, under uniaxial loading. The probability to find two or more close pitting holes in real industrial materials, such as cast iron, corroded or pitting metallic alloys is high; then, the stress concentration for two or more close pitting holes should be considered for the fatigue prediction life under fatigue loading and corrosion attack applications.

Results have been obtained for three types of specimens: without artificial pitting, specimens with one artificial pitting hole and specimens with two neighboring artificial pitting holes. Results show that fatigue endurance is reduced in the case of one pitting hole and considerably for two neighboring pitting holes. In order to explain this behavior, numerical analysis by FE are carried out to determine the stress concentrations for the three types of specimens. It is found that the stress concentration for two neighboring pitting holes is an exponential function of the separation between the two holes, under uniaxial loading.
