The effect of mould temperature on warpage using water and oil as coolant fluid was studied using flow software analysis. Mould temperature was controlled using two types of coolants; where cold mould was controlled by water and hot mould was controlled by oil. The simulation analysis was performed using flow software analysis Moldflow Plastics Insight (MPI). Taguchi method was used to design the planning matrix and to find the optimum levels of input variables. Then, to find the percentage contribution of input variables on output variables, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used. It is found that mould temperature controlled by water shows less warpage analysis compared to oil. The minimum and maximum percentage of warpage analysis between cold mould and hot mould are 3.1% and 7.1% respectively. In addition, ANOVA analysis shows that the most significant parameters affected the warpage analysis for both moulds using oil and water are melt temperature (255°C) followed by mould temperature (water 15°C and oil 70°C) and cooling time (water 8s and oil 6s). Thus, it shows that coolant medium used in mould cooling system contributes the quality of plastic parts.

Injection Moulding Process

Warpage deflection is one of the common pitfalls in plastic injection moulding which is always affected the quality and accuracy of the plastic products. It occurs due to the influences of mould temperature during injection moulding process and it is related to the number of cooling system existed in the mould. Therefore, this paper studies the effect of cooling channels on warpage of dumbbell plastic part having different number of cooling channel using Moldflow software. Warpage analysis was run using four and eight cooling channels. Parameters involved in this study are injection time, packing time, melt temperature and mould temperature. The result of warpage from simulation analysis was projected on the graphic having different colour which is presented the actual value of warpage. It is found from warpage simulation result that the maximum warpage for four cooling channels is 1.283mm and the maximum warpage for eight cooling channels is 1.280mm. It shows that the increasing of the number of cooling channel from four to eight channels in the injection mould reduces the warpage deflection about 0.2%. Thus, the result shows that the number of cooling system in the mould plays an important role on the quality of plastic part during injection moulding process.

Plastic Parts

A part to be injection molded is evaluated by simulation for warpage analysis. The plastic part is a supporting plate to be used in the oil filter and it’s made out of nylon material. The effect of various parameters from design to processing of plastic parts is considered and validated by simulation results. The research involved in this was designing mould, computer-aided engineering, simulation analysis, and determination of plastic part processing conditions. In this work PA66 (Grade name – Zytel 70G13HS1LNC010) material is used and the material contains 13 % of fiber. Fiber orientation is nothing but the distribution of plastic melt inside the cavity and it also plays important role in deciding the warpage of part. The effect of process parameters on part warpage is investigated from various aspects in comparison with the conventional runner system. Hot runner mould system with innovative cooling channel designs is good results-driven. Results of simulations reveal that elevated mould temperature reduces the unwanted freezing time during the injection phase and thus improves mouldability and enhances part quality. Under similar mould temperature conditions, the effect of process parameters on warpage decreases according to the following order, packing time, packing pressure, melt temperature, injection pressure, and cooling time respectively.

As a new fabrication technique based on rapid prototyping, vacuum casting process can be especially used in the stage of products development. In this paper, a self-designed and made silicone mould was used to study process of vacuum casting panel part. ProCAST software was adopted to analyze the melt flowing behavior and effects of processing parameters. The key vacuum casting parameters, such as mould temperature, melt temperature, degree of vacuum and coefficient of heat transfer, on the effects of the filling rate of polymer melt were emphasized to be numerical studied. The results indicate that mould temperature and coefficient of heat transfer have the most important influence on quality of the formed panel.

The quality of injection moulded parts can be influenced by processing parameters. The effect of mould temperature and melt temperature on the weight and shrinkage of Styrene Acrylonitrile moulded part was observed in this research. It was found that by increasing mold temperatures at constant melt temperature and injection speed, the weight of the part decreased and the shrinkage value slightly decreased. On the other hand, by increasing melt temperature at constant mold temperature and injection speed, the part weight increased. Both mold temperature and melt temperature gave only a small effect because the temperature difference was not too large.

AbstractThe qualities of injection-molded parts are affected by process parameters. Warpage and volume shrinkage are two typical defects. Moreover, insufficient or excessively large clamping force also affects the quality of parts and the cost of the process. An experiment based on the orthogonal design was conducted to minimize the above defects. Moldflow software was used to simulate the injection process of each experiment. The entropy weight was used to determine the weight of each index, the comprehensive evaluation value was calculated, and multi-objective optimization was transformed into single-objective optimization. A regression model was established by the random forest (RF) algorithm. To further illustrate the reliability and accuracy of the model, back-propagation neural network and kriging models were taken as comparative algorithms. The results showed that the error of RF was the smallest and its performance was the best. Finally, genetic algorithm was used to search for the minimum of the regression model established by RF. The optimal parameters were found to improve the quality of plastic parts and reduce the energy consumption. The plastic parts manufactured by the optimal process parameters showed good quality and met the requirements of production.

By simplifying the geometric shape of abrasive grain in a cone-shape, the authors conduct the 3D dynamic finite element simulation on profile grinding with axial feed by single abrasive grain using deform-3D software. Analysis is made on the influence upon the grinding forces in case of the same grinding speed, the same grinding depth and the same friction factor between wheel and workpiece at different axial feed. The results show that the normal force and the tangential force increase with the increase of axial feed, but the axial force decreases with the axial feed.
