Influence of Technological Parameters on Material Flow

Abstract:

Injection molding is one of the most extended polymer processing technologies. It enables the manufacture of final products, which do not require any further operations. The tools used for their production – the injection molds – are very complicated assemblies that are made using several technologies and materials. Delivery of polymer melts into the mold cavity is the most important stage of the injection molding process. The fluidity of polymers is affected by many parameters Inc. mold design. Evaluation of set of data obtained by experiments in which the testing conditions were widely changed shows that the quality of cavity surface and technological parameters (injection rate, injection pressure and gate size) has substantial influence on the length of flow.
