Kurzbeschreibung
Industrial engineers know microcellular injection molding - commercially known as the MuCell process - can enhance product design, improve processing efficiency, and reduce product costs. The question is - how? Microcellular Injection Molding answers that question by describing the process, equipment, design, materials, mathematical models and applications, while also providing guidelines for quality and quantity analyses. Industry and academic readers alike will not want to be without this valuable resource for understanding the basic principles and process details of microcellular injection molding, and how it can be applied to both science and industry.
This book presents the most important aspects of microcellular injection molding with applications for science and industry. The book includes: experimental rheology and pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) data for different gas materials at real injection molding conditions, new mathematical models, micrographs of rheological and thermodynamic phenomena, and the morphologies of microcellular foam made by injection molding. Further, the author proposes two stages of processing for microcellular injection molding, along with a methodology of systematic analysis for process optimization. This gives critical guidelines for quality and quantity analyses for processing and equipment design.
