Heating/cooling channels design for an automotive interior part and its evaluation in rapid heat cycle molding

Rapid heat cycle molding (RHCM) is a recently developed innovative injection molding technology. Rapid heating and cooling of the injection mold is the most crucial technique in RHCM because it not only has a significant effect on part quality but also has direct influence on productivity and cost-efficiency. Accordingly, Heating and cooling system design plays a very important role in RHCM mold design. This study focuses on the heating/cooling system design for a three-dimensional complex-shaped automotive interior part. Heat transfer simulation based on finite element analysis (FEA) was conducted to evaluate the thermal response of the injection mold and thereby improve heating/cooling channels design. Baffles were introduced for heating/cooling channels to improve heating/cooling efficiency and uniformity of the mold. A series of thermal response experiments based on full factorial experimental design were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the improved heating/cooling channels design with baffles. A mathematical model was developed by regression analysis to predict the thermal response of the injection mold. The effects of the cavity surface temperature on weld mark and surface gloss of the part were investigated by experiments. The results show that the developed baffle-based heating/cooling channels can greatly improve thermal response efficiency and uniformity of the mold. The developed mathematical model supplies an efficient approach for precise predication of mold thermal response. As the cavity surface temperature raises to a high enough level, automotive interior parts with high gloss and non-weld mark surface can be obtained.     

Effects of Injection Molding Parameters on the Production of Microstructures by Micropowder Injection Molding

Micropowder injection molding (μPIM) is a potential low-cost process for the mass production of metal or ceramic microstructures. In order to obtain good molded microstructures and to avoid molding defects, it is important to select suitable injection molding parameters. In this paper, the selection of injection molding conditions for the production of 316L stainless steel microstructures by μPIM is presented. Silicon mold inserts with 24 × 24 microcavities were injection molded on a conventional injection molding machine. The dimensions of each microcavity were Φ 100 μ m × depth 200 μm, giving an aspect ratio of 2. The distance between each microcavity was 200 μm. Five sets of experiments were conducted by varying one injection molding parameter at a time. The parameters included injection pressure, holding pressure, holding time, mold temperature, and melt temperature. Higher injection pressure and holding pressure were required during the injection molding process due to the small dimensions of the microcavities and the large number of microcavities (576 microcavities). High mold temperature was required for complete filling of the microcavities. Molded microstructures without visual defects were obtained using appropriate injection molding parameters. Catalytic debinding and sintering of the 316L stainless steel microstructures were successfully conducted.     

Analysis of thermal cycling efficiency and optimal design of heating/cooling systems for rapid heat cycle injection molding process

Rapid heat cycle molding (RHCM) is a molding process that the mold cavity is rapidly heated to a high temperature before plastic melt injection, and then cooled quickly once the cavity is completely filled. Heating/cooling efficiency and temperature uniformity of the RHCM system are two key technical parameters to ensure a high productivity and high-quality products. In this study, a numerical model to analyze the heat transfer in heating and cooling phases of RHCM was built. The effect of heating/cooling medium, layout and structure of the heating/cooling channels, mold structure, etc., on heating/cooling efficiency and temperature uniformity was studied and discussed by analyzing the thermal responses of the molding system in RHCM process. Based on the simulation results, the optimization design of the RHCM mold with hot-fluid heating was performed. Then, a new RHCM mold structure with a floating mold cavity was proposed to improve the heating/cooling efficiency and temperature uniformity. The effectiveness of this new mold structure was also verified by numerical experiments. At last, a RHCM production line with steam heating and water cooling was constructed for a thin-wall plastic part. In testing production, the molding systems can be heated and cooled rapidly with a molding cycle time of about 72 s. The production results show that the aesthetics of the molded parts was greatly enhanced and the weld mark on the plastic part’s surface was completely eliminated.

Modeling of Industrial Polymer Processes: Injection Molding and Blow Molding

In the last twenty years injection molding and blow molding have seen a rapid growth due to the development of new application areas in the automotive, sports and leisure, electronics, transportation and packaging industries. This success can be traced to the optimization of existing processes and to the development of new processing techniques employing novel concepts such as gas-assisted injection molding, co-injection, and 3D and sequential blow molding. The complexity of these new molding techniques calls for a much better understanding of the material behavior during the basic stages of the process and its relation to the properties and performance of the final part. These characteristics are directly dependent upon die and mold designs and on the operating conditions during extrusion, injection, inflation and cooling in the mold.In this paper we will demonstrate how the numerical simulation of the individual steps of the process can be used to optimize the process and product performance of industrial parts. In the case of injection molding, special interest will be devoted to the numerical prediction of the filling phase for both thin and thick parts. For blow molding the prediction of material behavior during clamping and inflation will be shown and related to final part thickness distribution, parison programming and preform design.

Comparison between the Requirements of Flowability and Moldability and the Shape Retention of PIM Compacts during Debinding Process

To successfully employ powder injection molding (PIM) as a manufacturing technique, the function of the component, design of the part, material and process should be optimized for overall processing ability of the PIM process. A comparison between the requirements of flowability and moldability and the compacts shape retention has been made in this work. There is often a contradiction between the requirements of flowability and the compacts shape retention. Many works have been done to attain good molding conditions. However, they fail to take into account the effect of some factors that satisfies good molding conditions on the compacts shape retention during debinding. This paper studies the effect of the powder-binder mixture characteristics and the molding conditions on the flowability and moldability and the shape retention of PIM compacts during debinding process so as to attain the benefits of each.

Research on the reduction of sink mark and warpage of the molded part in rapid heat cycle molding process

Rapid heat cycle molding (RHCM) is a recently developed innovative injection molding technology to enhance the surface quality of the plastic parts without extending the molding cycle. Most of the common defects that occur in the plastic parts produced by conventional injection molding (CIM), such as flow mark, silver mark, jetting mark, weld mark, exposed fibers, short shot, etc., can be well solved by RHCM. However, RHCM is not a nostrum for all the defects in injection molding. Sink mark and warpage are two major defects occurring in RHCM. The purpose of this study is to investigate and further solve the sink mark and warpage of the molded parts in RHCM. To solve the problem of sink mark, a new “bench form” structure for the screw stud on the product coupling with a lifter structure for the injection mold was proposed. The external gas assisted packing was also proposed to reduce the sink mark in RHCM. To solve the problem of warpage, design of experiments via Taguchi methods were performed to systematically investigate the effect of processing parameters including melt temperature, injection time, packing pressure, packing time and also cooling time on the warpage. Injection molding simulations based on Moldflow were conducted to acquire the warpages of the plastic parts produced under different processing conditions. A signal to noise analysis was conducted to analyze the effect of the factors, and the optimal processing parameters were also found out. ANOVA was also conducted to quantitatively analyze the percentage contributions of the processing parameters on the warpage. The verification results show that part warpage can be reduced effectively based on the optimal design results.
