Abstract:Weldline, which has an influence on the strength as well as the surface appearance of a plastic product, is one of the crucial defects in plastic injection molding (PIM). Process parameters such as melt temperature, injection time and so on should be adjusted and optimized for the weldline reduction. Rapid heating cycle molding (RHCM) that controls the mold temperature during the PIM is an effective approach for the weldline reduction, but the mold temperature profile is completely determined by an engineering… Show more
