Abstract :

Optimizing Mould Filling Parameters Is Crucial To Ensure The Quality And Consistency Of The Final Product. It Helps In Reducing Defects Such As Air Traps, Weld Lines, And Sink Marks. Additionally, It Can Lead To More Efficient Production Cycles And Reduced Material Waste, Ultimately Lowering Manufacturing Costs. Variable Injection Pressures Can Significantly Affect The Quality And Consistency Of The Molded Parts. Higher Pressures May Lead To Improved Filling Of Complex Geometries But Can Also Increase The Risk Of Defects Such As Flashing Or Warping. Conversely, Lower Pressures Might Reduce Such Defects But Could Result In Incomplete Filling And Compromised Structural Integrity Of The Parts. Proper Temperature Control Is Crucial In Injection Moulding As It Directly Affects The Viscosity Of The Material Being Injected. If The Temperature Is Too High, The Material May Become Too Fluid, Leading To Defects Like Flashing Or Sink Marks. Conversely, If The Temperature Is Too Low, It Can Result In Incomplete Filling Of The Mould, Causing Warping Or Weak Spots In The Final Product. Present Work Focused On The Different Parameters Like Injection Pressure, Temperature And Cooling Time To Check Suitable Parameters For Cap Mould Tested Using Taguchi Method Of Experiments. The Results Analyzed For Four Level Design Mean Temperature And Injection Pressure With Normal Cooling Time Given Better Results. Key Words: Injection Molding, Optimization, Taguchi, Pressure, Temperature, Cooling Time.
