1. Introduction1. Introduction
Principles of Injection Moulding:Melting : Thermoplastic material (granules/pellets)heated to melt polymer
Melt Transport & Shaping : Polymer melt is forcedthrough a nozzle into a closed mould
Stabilisation : Component cools in relatively “cold”mould prior to ejection
Main Advantages:• Automation & high production rates• Manufacture of parts with close tolerances• Versatility in moulding wide range of products
eg. appliance housings,washing up bowls, gearwheels,fascia panels, crash helmets, air intake manifolds

• Require expressions to calculate maximuminjection pressureinjection pressure to fill a part
To design/select injection systemTo determine clamping force
• Can obtain reasonable approximation from:Isothermal analysisMould cavity onlyConstant flow rate
• In practice moulding operation can be complex:Non-isothermal & non-Newtonian - hence η = f (T, )Flow within sprue, runners, gate & mould cavityInjection sequence can be relatively complex

Worked Example - Injection Mould Filling
Calculate the minumum gate pressure required to fill a rectangular plaque cavity,150mm x 25mm x 3mm, with Acrylic resin in one second, assuming thefollowing conditions:
(a) Newtonian flow with apparent viscosity ηa = 1000 Ns/m2
or (b) Non-Newtonian flow using Acrylic flow data.
If the gate pressure is 1.5 X this minimum, estimate the mould clamping forcerequired for a double impression mould.
