FOUR MAIN PLASTIC VARIABLES Flow Rate Plastics are a non-Newtonian fluid, therefore, with a higher shear rate, the viscosity of the material is reduced. This will result in stronger parts due to the locked in FIGURE 43 - Non-Newtonian Fluid Flow Low Level of Orientation Frozen Layer Highly Oriented Laminates Gate Transducer A Transducer B Hydraulic x 10 Filling Hold Start of mold shrinkage Time Pack P ss A B FIGURE 45 - Non-Newtonian fluid flow Relative Viscosity = Transfer Position * Fill Time Shear Rate = 1 Fill time FIGURE 46 - Pressure vs. Reduce the clamp tonnage until flash is seen around the parting line, then increase the clamp tonnage by 5-10% Minimize Cycle Time • Mold Open/Close – Should be as fast as possible, without slamming, and still produce a nice fluid motion • Ejector Speed – As fast as possible, without influencing part quality • Ejector Stroke – Only stroke the ejectors as many times as needed to separate the part from the core - i.e.
