Numerical Study on the Flow Length in an Injection Molding Process with an External Air-Heating Step
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
In this study, an external gas-assisted mold temperature control combined with water cooling was applied to achieve rapid mold-surface temperature control for observing the melt flow length in the thin-wall injection molding process. Variable part-thickness values of 0.2 mm, 0.4 mm, and 0.6 mm were used. Through a simulation and experiment, the injection molding process was achieved by using ABS and stamp insert temperatures ranging from 30 to 150 °C. In the simulation, when the stamp temperature was raised from 90 to 150 °C with part thickness of 0.2 mm, 0.4 mm, and 0.6 mm, the melt flow length increased by approximately 25.0%, 19.6%, and 12.8%, respectively. When the stamp temperature was higher than the glass-transition temperature of ABS, the improvement in the melt flow length was clearer, especially in the thinner part. In the experiment, the positive effect of stamp temperature was demonstrated; however, the improvement in the melt flow length was slightly different compared with the simulation owing to the heat transfer between the hot stamp and the environment.
