Rapid heating injection moulding: An experimental surface temperature study

Rapid heat cycle moulding (RHCM) is a recent set of injection technologies that allow a full temperature control in a mould.Between all technologies available in terms of heating and cooling, electrical resistance heating and water cooling were chosen for this study.The mould design has a capital im...

description Rapid heat cycle moulding (RHCM) is a recent set of injection technologies that allow a full temperature control in a mould.Between all technologies available in terms of heating and cooling, electrical resistance heating and water cooling were chosen for this study.The mould design has a capital importance in terms of process efficiency. Thermal and mechanical key points must be addressed together.

Due to transient thermal complexity, thermal simulation was validated using infrared thermography on a dummy tool fitted with both heating and cooling devices.All this previous work is usual for each new tool.
