Abstract

Use of fillers with the resin is common in injection molding manufacturing technique to enhance the stiffness and strength of the manufactured components. However, the addition of fillers changes the rheological and mechanical properties of the material, required adjustments in the process parameters used for the manufacturing. The present study aims to investigate this impact of fillers on the process parameters of the injection molding manufacturing process. Neat Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and ABS reinforced with short glass fibers are used as the materials to perform the comprehensive numerical analysis including complete process sequence, namely filling, packing, cooling and warpage. Parametric studies are conducted to optimize the manufacturing process for minimal warpage (or shrinkage) in the produced part. The selected process parameters for the parametric study include cooling time, packing pressure, and mold temperature, all of which directly impact the quality of the manufactured parts. The optimal values obtained for these parameters are compared to examine the effect fiber reinforcement has on the manufacturing process.
