EFFECTS OF INJECTION MOLDING PARAMETERS ON FLEXURAL PROPERTIES OF POLYSTYRENE MOLDED PART

Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting material into a mold. It is a cyclic process of rapid mold filling followed by cooling and ejection. A large number of injection molding parameters affects the performance and productivity of molding part. As part of the paper, the samples of polystyrene were made by adjusting various parameters (melt temperature, mold temperature, injection molding pressure). Afterward, the flexural properties of obtained specimens were analyzed. The mathematical models that show dependence of flexural properties on the injection molding parameters were obtained as the result of analysis.
