INFLUENCE OF PROCESS ON SHRINKAGE

MATERIALS, MOULD AND PROCESS CONDITIONS INFLUENCE SHRINKAGE.

SHRINKAGE DECREASES with MATERIALS AMORPHOUS REINFORCED MOULD HIGH CONDUCTIVITY STEEL CRYSTALLINE HIGHER WALL THICKNESS LONG FLOW PATH SMALL GATE AREA INSUFFICIENT COOLING INSUFFICIENT CLAMP FORCE PROCESS CONDITION HIGH CAVITY PRESSURE HIGH INJECTION RATE HIGH MOULD TEMPERATURE INSUFFICIENT GATE FREEZEOFF TIME HIGH MELT TEMPERATURE SHRINKAGE INCREASES with
