SMC轻量化初步探究

Predicting molding forces during sheet molding compound (SMC) compression molding. I: Model development

Because of its high strength‐to‐weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and low cost, Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) production offers great potential for growth in the automotive and trucking industry. Much attention is now being given to improving the economy of SMC compression molding by reducing the cycle time required to produce acceptable parts in steady production. One of the fastest‐growing applications of Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) compression molding panels is the manufacture of truck body panels. Owing to their large size, the molding forces developed are substantial and have a major influence in the molding cycle. The relevant process models for SMC flow are reviewed and a procedure is developed that can be used to obtain the closing force and calculate the needed material parameters. Experiments were done using commercially made SMC to verify the validity of this model and the compression force was predicted and compared to experimental values for commercially made automotive hoods.     

Predicting molding forces during sheet molding compounds (SMC) compression molding. II: Effect of SMC composition

One of the fastest‐growing applications of SMC compression molding is the manufacture of truck body panels. Because of their large size, the molding forces required are substantial and have a major influence on the molding cycle. Also, as SMC moves towards parts requiring higher strength, the fiber length and percentage by weight of fibers must increase. This will also contribute to larger molding forces. In this paper, a procedure is presented to evaluate the SMC rheological parameters needed to predict molding forces. In addition, the effect of SMC composition on the molding forces is investigated. In particular, we evaluate the effect of reinforcement type (glass versus carbon) and level, filler level and thickener level. It was found that the factors most affecting molding forces are the reinforcement length and level; and the filler level. In addition, it was discovered that for SMC thickened with magnesium oxide, the level of thickener does not affect the molding force.     

Assessing the effect of processing variables on the mechanical response of polysytrene molded using vibration‐assisted injection molding process

The present work is focused on the study of vibration‐assisted injection molding (VAIM) process, using polystyrene as a model polymeric system. This recently developed polymer processing operation is based on the concept of using motion of the injection screw to apply mechanical vibration to polymer melt during the injection and packing stages of injection molding process, to control the polymer behavior at a molecular level, which would result in improvements/alterations to the mechanical behavior of molded products. In this study, the afore‐mentioned concept was verified experimentally from monotonic tensile experiments and birefringence measurements of VAIM molded polystyrene in comparison with those of conventional injection molding process. The results of our study indicate that the actual degree of strength improvement depends on at least four parameters, namely, vibration frequency, vibration amplitude, vibration duration, and the delay time between the injection start and the vibration start. Furthermore, when these parameters were optimized, as much as a 28% strength improvement was observed, accompanied by an increase in toughness. Furthermore, birefringence measurements revealed that VAIM processing significantly altered the residual stress distribution throughout final products, but it did not, however, change the material density in the products. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of reinforcement type and length on physical properties,surface quality,and cycle time for sheet molding compound (SMC) compression molded parts

One of the fastest growing applications of sheet molding compound (SMC) compression molding is the manufacture of truck body panels. The trucking industry requires parts with high strength and stiffness, but the surface quality is also important. In this study, the effect of reinforcement type and length on physical properties, surface quality, and cycle time are evaluated. In particular, the effect of different lengths of carbon fibers and glass fibers with different sizing are studied. It was found that for the same volume percent, carbon fibers greatly improve the stiffness of the SMC at the sacrifice of strength and surface quality and also require larger fill times for the same molding force, as compared to glass fibers. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

超声波振动与热床对熔融沉积成型的影响

Simulation of injection–compression‐molding process. II. Influence of process characteristics on part shrinkage

A numerical algorithm is developed to simulate the injection–compression molding (ICM) process. A Hele–Shaw fluid‐flow model combined with a modified control‐volume/finite‐element method is implemented to predict the melt‐front advancement and the distributions of pressure, temperature, and flow velocity dynamically during the injection melt filling, compression melt filling, and postfilling stages of the entire process. Part volumetric shrinkage was then investigated by tracing the thermal–mechanical history of the polymer melt via a path display in the pressure–volume–temperature (PVT) diagram during the entire process. Influence of the process parameters including compression speed, switch time from injection to compression, compression stroke, and part thickness on part shrinkage were understood through simulations of a disk part. The simulated results were also compared with those required by conventional injection molding (CIM). It was found that ICM not only shows a significant effect on reducing part shrinkage but also provides much more uniform shrinkage within the whole part as compared with CIM. Although using a higher switch time, lower compression speed, and higher compression stroke may result in a lower molding pressure, however, they do not show an apparent effect on part shrinkage once the compression pressure is the same in the compression‐holding stage. However, using a lower switch time, higher compression speed, and lower compression stroke under the same compression pressure in the postfilling stage will result in an improvement in shrinkage reduction due to the melt‐temperature effect introduced in the end of the filling stage. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Dependence of microstructure and properties of polypropylene/bromo-isobutylene-isoprene rubber thermoplastic vulcanizates on the molding process

To explore the dependence of the microstructure and properties of thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) on the molding process. The polypropylene/bromo-isobutylene-isoprene rubber thermoplastic vulcanizates (PP/BIIR-TPVs) are molded by high rate shear injection and compression molding, and the phase morphology and physical-mechanical properties of PP/BIIR-TPVs specimens are investigated. Detailed small-angle X-ray scattering, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy investigations demonstrate that the high rate shear of injection molding not only decreases the size of BIIR particles but also induces the orientation of the PP matrix and further increases its crystallinity. Subsequently, the PP/BIIR-TPVs molded by injection molding have higher tensile strength and Young's modulus, while the compression molding benefits to higher elongation at break. The mechanism regarding the effects of high rate shear during injection molding on phase morphology development of PP/BIIR-TPVs is discussed. This study guides the preparation of TPVs products with desired properties.     

Rheological characterization of unsaturated polyester resin sheet molding compound

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental analysis of the rheological behavior of sheet molding compound (SMC). The work analyses the squeeze flow in a parallel plate plastometer of SMC discs which contain 25 percent of fiber glass by weight. This method of flow characterization gives a good insight into the basic rheological behavior of SMC for the compression molding process when producing flat parts. The theoretical analysis applies to thickened and matured SMC at room temperature. The analysis treats SMC as a viscoelastic material having an equation of state with viscous, elastic and yield elements. The time variation of compressive force when squeezing SMC discs between two parallel plates (one fixed and one mobile) has been derived from the equation of state. The values of the viscous, elastic and yield parameters were determined by using a least squares method of curve fitting to the experimental results. There are two aspects to the reported experimental work. One aspect is concerned with showing that the three element model for the equation of state provides a realistic mathematical basis for characterizing the rheological behavior of SMC at room temperature. The other shows how the parallel plate plastometer can be used to give data which characterize SMC flow behavior under conditions similar to those of the actual compression molding process.
