FOUR MAIN PLASTIC VARIABLES Flow Rate Plastics are a non-Newtonian fluid, therefore, with a higher shear rate, the viscosity of the material is reduced.
This will result in stronger parts due to the locked in FIGURE 43 - Non-Newtonian Fluid Flow Low Level of Orientation Frozen Layer Highly Oriented Laminates Gate Pressure Transducer A Pressure Transducer B Hydraulic x 10 Filling Hold Start of mold shrinkage Time Pack P re ss u re A B FIGURE 45 - Non-Newtonian fluid flow Relative Viscosity = Transfer Position * Fill Time Shear Rate = 1 Fill time FIGURE 46 - Pressure vs.
If the material is shear-sensitive, consult the material data sheet or processing guide for instructions to set recovery time • The cooling time should only be 1–2 seconds longer than the screw recovery time, unless dictated by dimensional stability or part thickness Minimize Clamp Pressure This step is done to reduce the amount of energy used by the machine. • Reduce the clamp tonnage until flash is seen around the parting line, then increase the clamp tonnage by 5-10% Minimize Cycle Time • Mold Open/Close – Should be as fast as possible, without slamming, and still produce a nice fluid motion • Ejector Speed – As fast as possible, without influencing part quality • Ejector Stroke – Only stroke the ejectors as many times as needed to separate the part from the core - i.e.
