The warpage in a glass fiber-reinforced polyamide molded part caused by the sharp corner effect and differential shrinkage could be effectively reduced by optimizing the injection process parameters using numerical simulations. The results showed that adopting a three-gate injection method could effectively minimize the warpage caused by the sharp corner effect by more than 66% due to better fiber orientation and compensation of the shrinkage deviations. Simple equations were used to obtain the optimized packing profile, and the overall warpage could be reduced by more than 43%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
