Abstract
In producing moldings by using an injection mold, several variables such as the metal mold and the condition of injection molding should be selected properly in order to obtain good quality of moldings. In this study, focussed are the mechanical properties of injection moldings, since many researches on injection have been focussed mainly on the molding quality, injection pressure, and bulk temperature but the properties of injection moldings have not been studied extensively. The mechanical properties of present injection moldings can be improved simply by changing the molding material and the injection conditon without changind the metal mold. To have the final products meet the specified molding quality and mechanical properties at the same time, the bulk temperature of injection, pressure variation, volumetric shrinkage, stress, and cooling should be analized by CAE(computer aided engineering) after injection mold design. In this paper, the effects of dischare condition on mechanical properties of injection moldings are studied by testing the moldings which are injected by varying injection conditions.
