EFFECT OF MOLDING PARAMETER ON INJECTION MOLDING

In today's world, Plastic Injection molding process is one of the most widely used processes for producing plastics products. Engineering plastics is the family capable of withstanding high loading for a period of time at elevated temperatures and in adverse environmental conditions. It exhibits a good balance of high tensile strength, shear strength, toughness to use as replacement of metals in many applications. The aim of this paper is to study the effect of various parameters on the plastic part (used in automobiles). A number of experiments has been conducted by changing the main parameters used in injection molding such as Injection pressure, holding pressure, injection speed etc. All these concerned parameters are responsible for giving the required shape to the part with minimum stresses for better life of the product. Based on above parameters, the weight of the part has been varied which will also help in dimensional stability
