Study of mouldability in gas-assisted injection moulded fibre-reinforced Nylon parts

Abstract

Investigation of the characteristics of gas penetration in gas-assisted injection moulding (GAIM) of parts plays an important role in the successful application of gas-assisted injection moulding. Although these have been proposed by various investigators, quantitative rules based on well designed experiments on fibre-reinforced plastic materials have not been reported previously. Additions of glass-fibre bring about rather dramatic changes in material viscosity and heat conductivity, etc. In the present paper, spiral tube moulds with uniform diameters of 8 and 10 mm, respectively, and a plate mould of 3 mm thickness with gas channel design of semicircular crosssection were moulded using glass-fibre reinforced Nylon resin. The effects of fibre content, tube diameter, and processing parameters, including gas pressure, delay time, and injection stroke on gas penetration characteristics and mouldability for fibre-reinforced Nylon parts were investigated experimentally. It was found that the coating melt thickness decreases with increasing gas pressure, until the gas pressure reaches a critical value, when the coating melt thickness becomes relatively constant for the spiral tube. Meanwhile, using a longer delay time for gas injection will increase the skin melt thickness. The hollowed core ratio increases with increasing diameter of spiral tube. Alternatively, the hollowed core ratio of GAIM plate and spiral tube parts increases when the content of glass-fibre is increased. However, when the fibre content is over 10 wt-%, it shows less influence on the hollowed core ratio for plate parts. Furthermore, although the area of the moulding window decreases with increasing content of fibre, they all show good mouldability. From these results, one can provide an empirical formula to CAE simulation designers and part/mould designers for GAIM fibre-reinforced Nylon parts to achieve suitable mouldability and accurate CAE simulation.

Influence of processing on quality of injection-compression-molded disks

A modified injection molding machine with a compression mechanism, and a mold with a movable wall and shut-off mechanism, were used to investigate the effects of processing parameters on the quality of injection-compression-molded polystyrene disks. The compression start-up time, compression force, melt temperature, and part thickness were selected processing parameters. The disk moldings were evaluated based on dimensional accuracy and birefringence. It is found that the compression start-up time affects packing time, and thus greatly affects the residual orientation. If the transition from packing to compression could start before peak cavity pressure, disks with low residual orientation could be obtained. High compression force improves part quality and reduces thickness. Since both compression-induced reduction and cooling-induced shrinkage are involved, the effects of temperature and thickness are not as straightforward as the trends in conventional injection molding.

Bonding strength at solid-melt interface for polystyrene in a sequential two-staged injection molding process

The effects of processing parameters, such as melt temperature, mold temperature and cooling time, on the bonding strength of the interface in a sequential two-staged injection molding process were investigated both theoretically and experimentally. A theoretical bonding strength model, which accounts for the cooling profile through the thickness of the part and the interpenetration depth of polymer chains across the interface, was proposed. Under various mold and melt temperatures, experiments of sequential two-staged injection molding processes for polystyrene (PS) were also conducted to verify the validity of the model. Finally, an interrelationship between the average extent of reaching an effective interpenetration depth and the degree of bonding has been constructed. The model proposed in this research would be useful in the CAE analysis for a two-staged injection molding process in which distortions or even fractures might occur at the interface.

Motion control for uniaxial rotational molding

Motion control parameters of rotational molding can affect process efficiency and product quality. Different motion control schemes will lead to varied powder flow regimes exhibiting different levels of mixing and temperature uniformity. The change in nature of powder flow during a molding cycle suggests that varying the rotational speed could improve the powder mixing and temperature uniformity, therefore potentially reducing processing time and energy consumption. Experiments completed investigating powder flow under uniaxial rotation show that savings of up to 2.5% of the heating cycle time can be achieved. This validates the hypothesis that altering the rotational speed to maintain the ideal powder flow throughout the heating cycle can be utilized to reduce the time taken for all the polymer powder to adhere to the mold wall. The effect of rotational speed on wall thickness uniformity and impact strength were investigated and discussed. Results show a strong influence of rotational speed (and powder flow) on the wall thickness uniformity of the moldings with wall thickness uniformity deviations of up to 50% found (within the 2–35 RPM speed range tested).
