Hereafter, in-line screw-injection molding will bereferred to simply as injection molding.4.2 The mold referenced in this section (see Fig. 1)isgenerally useful, and describes what have been the mostcommon specimens required for the testing of thermosets

17、. ISOspecimens and testing are gaining favor, however. PracticeD3641 and ISO 10724 describe the layout and practice forinjection molding the multi-purpose specimens in accordancewith ISO 3167.4.3 Typically, injection-molded test specimens are madewith shorter cycles than those used for similar moldi

18、ngs madeby compression, and the cycle is equal to or faster than that fortransfer molding.4.4 Breathing of the mold is not usually required to releasetrapped volatile material as the gas is free to flow from the ventend of the mold. This is particularly advantageous for heat-resistant compounds and

19、reduces the tendency for moldedspecimens to blister at high exposure temperatures.4.5 Injection molding is intended for low-viscosity com-pounds. One set of processing parameters cannot be specifiedfor all types of thermosetting materials, nor for samples of thesame material having different plastic

20、ities.4.6 Materials containing fibrous fillers such as glass roving,chopped cloth, or cellulosic fibers can be injection molded, buttheir properties will be affected depending upon how muchfiber breakdown occurs as the compound is worked by thescrew and as it passes through the system of runners and

21、 gates.The orientation of the fibers in the molded specimen will alsoaffect injection-molded properties.4.7 Flow and knit lines in a molded piece are often sites ofmechanical or electrical weakness. The fluxed material passingthrough the gate wrinkles and folds as it proceeds into the moldcavity. Kn

22、it lines are found to some degree throughout themolded piece; and can affect test results. Fibers and otherreinforcements in the molding compound align with the flowpattern and, generally, are perpendicular to the axis of the barat its center and parallel at its surface.4.7.1 Placement and size of g

23、ates and vents can be used tominimize flow and knit lines, for example, side gating of barswill minimize the tendency of the material to fold onto itself asthe material front proceeds through the length of the mold.4.8 The Izod impact strength of injection-molded specimenscontaining short fibers wil

24、l generally be lower than the valuesobtained using compression molding methods. The impactstrength can also vary along the axis of the bar due to moldingparameters, flow patterns, and fiber orientation.4.9 The flexural and tensile strength of injection-moldedspecimens of molding compounds containing

25、 short fibers willgenerally be higher than the values obtained usingNOTE 1Thermometer wells shall be 8 mm (516 in.) in diameter to permit use of a readily available thermometer.FIG. 1 Five-Cavity Transfer Mold for Thermosetting Plastic Test Specimens (Steam Cores Not Shown)D3419 122compression-moldi

26、ng methods. Flexural tests are particularlysensitive to injection molding due to the thin resin skin formedat the surface of the bar during final filling of the cavity andpressure buildup.4.10 At constant mold temperature the following parametersare known to cause an underfilled condition at the ven

27、ted endof the cavity: incorrect plasticity, too low an injection pressure,insufficient material, too long an injection time, blocked vents,high stock temperature, or incorrect die temperature.5. Apparatus5.1 In-Line, Screw-Injection Machine A device incorpo-rating a hydraulically or electrically dri

28、ven screw which,working against a predetermined back pressure, draws materialfrom the feed hopper and by frictional and conducted heatworks a charge of material into a hot plastic state. Followingthe plasticating step, the screw stops rotating, moves forwardand forces the hot material through the no

29、zzle, sprue, runner,and gate into the cavity. Optimal injection and clamp pressuresare within the range of 70 to 140 MPa (10,000 to 20,000 psi).Measurement of actual molding pressures can be made withpressure transducers placed strategically in the cavities.5.1.1 The clamp force of the machine shall

30、 be sufficient toprevent excessive flashing under all operating conditions (see5.2.5).5.2 MoldThe mold cavities and layout depend on thespecimens required by the tests in question. The mold layoutshown in Fig. 1 has been found satisfactory, although moldswith fewer cavities, or different configurati

31、ons, or both can beused. Molds with multiple-identical-cavity layouts with sym-metrical gates and runners are recommended. Single cavitymolds are not recommended. In any case, it is important todescribe the mold in the report on the specimen preparation.5.2.1 Family molds like the one shown in Fig.

32、1 requireproper precautions to ensure that constant and uniform filling isachieved in all cavities.5.2.2 Gate dimensions equal to two-thirds of the width andheight of end-gated specimens are recommended for specimensnot greater than 4-mm (0.16-in.) thickness. For specimens over4-mm (0.16-in.) thickn

33、ess, or for other than end-gated speci-mens, gate dimensions of 8-mm (0.31-in.) width by 3-mm(0.12-in.) thickness are recommended. Short gate lengths, notexceeding 3 mm (0.12 in.) are recommended.5.2.3 Suitable venting must be provided from each cavity.Dimensions of 4 to 6-mm (0.16 to 0.24-in.) widt

34、h by 0.05 to1-mm (0.002 to 0.004-in.) depth are recommended.5.2.4 It is recommended that cavities be landed, so that ifflashing does occur, the mold will re-close after the injectionstroke. Typical lands are 4.5 mm (316 in.) to 6 mm (14 in.) inwidth. Landing pads are recommended to hold the mold ope

35、n0.0125 mm (0.0005 in.) in order to prevent damage to thelands.5.2.5 Full round runners, at least 6-mm (0.24-in.) diameter,are recommended as they offer less resistance to flow.5.2.6 Sharp corners in gates and runners are to be avoided asthey can cause hot spots and premature curing.5.2.7 On larger

36、specimens, such as discs or plaques, mul-tiple gates can produce knit lines where the material flowstogether. One larger gate is generally better than severalsmaller gates.5.2.8 Mold surfaces finished to a roughness of 0.4 to 0.8 m(SPI-SPE #2 or equivalent4) are preferred, unless it is knownthat the

37、 particular test is not affected by a coarser surface finish.Chrome plating is recommended but not necessary. Drawpolishing of all cavity surfaces in the direction of flow willfacilitate specimen removal.5.2.9 Hydraulic or mechanical knockout systems outside ofthe specimen test area can be used, if

38、necessary, to ensure partremoval.5.2.10 For specimens no greater than 4-mm (0.16-in.) thick-ness, a maximum cavity draft angle of 1 is preferred. Forthicker specimens or, if necessary, to provide additional re-lease, a maximum cavity draft angle of 2 can be used.5.2.11 It is recommended that all mol

39、d cavities be marked toidentify the source of specimens. Such identifying marks shallnot be located in the test area of the specimens.5.2.12 Interchangeable mold cavities and gate inserts arerecommended to achieve the greatest flexibility in molding.5.3 Heating SystemMold heating can be accomplished

40、 byconduction from heated platens, heaters inserted into the molditself by hot fluids circulated through passageways in the moldor any suitable alternative. The heating system used shall becapable of controlling the mold temperature to 63C (65F)from point to point on the mold and for the duration of

41、 themolding time.NOTE 3It is generally preferable to heat the mold electrically.5.4 Temperature IndicatorA surface pyrometer or equiva-lent means is used to measure the temperature of the moldsurface.6. Conditioning6.1 Store the molding compound in moisture barrier con-tainers and keep at standard r

42、oom temperature at the time ofmolding. Compounds designed for screw-injection moldingordinarily are not preconditioned prior to molding.
