Abstract:Plastic injection molding (PIM) is a manufacturing technology to plastic products, and it is important to determine optimal process parameters for high product quality and high productivity. Weldline that are formed when two or more melt fronts meet should be reduced for high strength and high surface quality. Rapid heating cycle molding (RHCM) that the mold is heated up is an attracted PIM technology for weldline reduction, but long cycle time is generally required. In this paper, an RHCM incorporating a heat… Show more
