Effect of Flow Pattern of Coolant for Injection Mold on the Deformation of Injection Molding

Abstract

The deformation of injection molding is seriously affected by injection molding conditions, such as melt and mold temperature and injection and holding pressure. In these conditions, the mold temperature is controlled by flowing coolant, which can be classified by the Reynolds number in the mold-cooling channel. In this study, the deformation of the automotive side molding according to the variation of the Reynolds number in the coolant was simulated by Moldflow. In the results, as the Reynolds number was increased, the mold cooling was also increased. However, when the Reynolds number exceeded a certain range, the mold cooling was not increased further. In addition to the Moldflow verification, the mold cooling by the coolant was simulated by CFX. The CFX results confirmed that the Reynolds number significantly influenced the mold cooling. The coolant, which has a high Reynolds number value, quickly cooled the mold. However, the coolant, which has a low Reynolds number value, such as 0 points, hardly cooled the mold. In an injection molding experiment, as the Reynolds number was high, the deformation of the moldings was reduced. The declining tendency of the deformation was similar to the Moldflow results.
