Abstract

In order to understand the changes which occur during the injection molding cycle for a thermosetting system, it is important to consider the interaction between the processing conditions and the material properties of the system. To this end, a number of experimental molding studies have been conducted on a well-characterized, commercial, injection-molding grade epoxy resin (Fiberite, E8354J). Several thin, instrumented, semicircular and rectangular mold cavities were used in conjunction with a 2 1/3 ounce, reciprocating-screw injection molding machine, in order to obtain relevant experimental data under typical molding conditions. A theoretical model of the molding process has been developed which yields results for cavity pressure, mold filling time, and the temperature distribution within the molded article. Changes in process conditions are discussed in relation to their effects on the molding cycle.
