Prediction of process parameters of water-assisted injection molding based on inverse radial basis function neural network

Because of the introduction of new processing parameters in water-assisted injection molding (WAIM), processes control has become more difficult. First, design of experiment (DOE) was carried out by using optimized Latin hypercubes (Opt LHS). On the basis of this, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method was used to simulate and calculate hollowed core ratios and wall thickness differences of cooling water pipe at different positions. Then inverse radial basis function (RBF) neural network model reflecting the fitting relationship between processing parameters and molding quality was established, and accuracy of the model was detected by cross validation. Finally, expected molding quality was applied to predict processing parameters, and the obtained molding quality under the predicted processing parameters was verified by computer aided engineering (CAE) simulation and experimental methods. The results showed that mean relative precisions of processing parameters such as melt temperature, delay time, short shot size, water pressure, and mold temperature for inverse RBF model were 98.6%, 93.6%, 98.5%, 93.9%, and 97.9%, respectively, which met the accuracy requirements. Furthermore, compared with expected values of hollowed core ratios and wall thickness differences, the average errors of CAE and experiment were 2.3% and 4.9%, respectively.

Effects of wall slip on ZrO2 rheological behavior in micro powder injection molding

The effects of wall slip on the rheological behavior of ZrO₂ feedstock flowing through various channels were studied. As compared to conventional no-slip condition, a power-law wall slip model was established to simulate the filling behavior of ZrO₂ feedstock flowing through the mold. The effects of wall slip on pressure distribution of the micro spool mandrils during filling was compared with the injection molded micro components. Experimental results verified that the simulation including wall slip yielded better prediction for the pressure gradient as well as crack propagation for the micro components. Increasing mold temperature not only enhanced the feedstock temperature flowing through the micro channels, but also reduced the temperature difference of the micro components and likely the ensuing thermal stress as well as cracks. Powder-binder separation is more sensitive to the mold temperature variation than melt temperature variation. Defect-free micro spool mandrils were injection molded using the optimized parameters.

Rheological behavior of zirconia feedstock flowing through various channels considering wall-slip

The existence of wall slip for ZrO₂ feedstock flow in micro powder injection molding was investigated based on capillary rheometer experiments using dies of three dimensions. A power law function was derived by data fitting to determine the wall slip velocity based on which numerical simulation was carried out to explore the influence of wall slip on micro injection molding. Experimental results indicate that the feedstock is less sensitive to temperature fluctuation at higher shear rates. Power-law model can provide higher accuracy than the modified Cross model to depict the rheological behavior of the feedstock in capillary flows with different channels. Numerical simulation results show that in case of steady flow higher dynamic viscosity of the feedstock and higher pressure losses of the flow appeared when the wall slip boundary was included as compared to no-slip assumption in micro powder injection molding. This is because that when the wall slip boundary was included the shear rate distribution of the feedstock was lower than that of the feedstock assuming no-slip boundary.     

Gas-assisted Injection Molded Polypropylene/Glass Fiber Composite: Foaming Structure and Tensile Strength

Tensile strength of isotactic polypropylene (iPP)/glass fiber (GF) composites and neat iPP molded respectively by gas-assisted injection molding (GAIM) was examined. For comparison, tensile strength of the counterparts, which were molded by conventional injection molding (CIM) under the same processing conditions but without gas penetration, was also examined. Tensile strength of the CIM parts steadily increases with the increase of the GF content. For neat iPP molded by GAIM, as the gas pressure increases the tensile strength increases. However, for the iPP/GF composites, the tensile strength generally decreases when the gas pressure increases. And, at a given content of GF, tensile strength of the parts molded by GAIM is unexpectedly lower than that of the counterparts molded by CIM. At a given gas pressure, the higher the fiber content, the lower the tensile strength. In addition, scanning electron microscope (SEM) results show that foaming structure should be responsible for the poor tensile strength of the composites molded by GAIM. The poor adhesion between the glass fibers and the matrix and the unique properties of the gas used in GAIM process are the substantial factors in the formation of foaming structure.
