Effect of Injection Parameters on Warpage and Sink Index of High-Gloss Injection Parts

High-gloss injection molding technology is also called rapid cool and heat injection technology which can be used to eliminate weldmark on the surface of plastic parts, and improve the surface glossiness. However, the warpage, sink index and volume shrinkage of the parts are considered difficult to solve by using this technology. Reasons that cause the warpage and sink index of the parts were discussed in this paper firstly. Then, by using a LCD panel produced in practical injection process as an example, through orthogonal experimental design and finite element simulation, this paper discusses the effects of the injection molding parameters such as mold temperature, melt temperature etc. on warpage and sink index of the parts. The results are of great significance to help to set practical process parameters and assure the part quality in injection process.
