Study of cavity surface effect to the plastic flow

The cavity surface of the mould will give an effect to the plastic flow during injection. The project is to experiment the effects of the various surface roughness to the plastic flow during injection. The parameters included the cavity roughness, feeding design and metering parameters. The surface...

Description
Summary:The cavity surface of the mould will give an effect to the plastic flow during injection. The project is to experiment the effects of the various surface roughness to the plastic flow during injection. The parameters included the cavity roughness, feeding design and metering parameters. The surface roughness can be determined by surface comparator and machine by Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) die sinking. Cavity pressure can be determined by cavity pressure sensor. Mould is designed by using 3D software and analyse by Moldflow software. Result obtained by Moldflow software need to be compared to the experimental to validate it.
