The effects of Warpage in Injection Molded Part for Various Rib Design and Resins
Most of the plastics products have been manufactured by injection molding. Molding trouble in injection-molded parts is caused by changing a molding product and molding process condition, etc. In this study, warpage in the injection molded part have been studied. specimens are rectangular flat shape with and without ribs. Non-crystalline resins (PC) and crystalline resins (PA66) were used for material and 30% glass fiber reinforced-resins(PC, PA66). Flat shape ribs showed higher warpage than flat shape without rib by 10 to 41%. the specimens with ribs that are located parallel to flow direction has higher warpage than the specimens with rib that are located perpendicular to flow direction by 11 to 50%. crystalline resins have higher warpage than non-crystalline resins by 22 to 78%.
