Abstract

An experimental study on material characterization and mechanical properties of SMC(Sheet Molding Compounds) compression molding parts was carried out. Simple compression test using grease oil as a lubricant was carried out to characterize flow stress of SMC at elevated temperatures. Two different mold temperatures, 130$^{\circ}C$ and 150$^{\circ}C$ and two different mold speeds, 15, 45mm/min were used for preparing the specimen of SMC compression molding parts. Surface roughness, tensile, and 3-point bending tests were used to determine the effects of molding temperatures and speeds on mechanical properties of compression molded SMC parts.
