Modeling Injection Molding of High-Density Polyethylene with Crystallization in Open-Source Software

Kristjan Krebelj et al.

Summary: This study investigates crystallization modeling of high-density polyethylene using the open-source code OpenFOAM, incorporating various physical interdependencies such as deformable cavity, pressure-dependent heat transfer coefficient, pressure and crystallinity-dependent thermal conductivity, temperature and crystallinity-dependent specific heat, and latent heat release based on crystallization progress. Through-thickness plots of pressure, temperature, and cooling rate at different levels of crystallinity provide insights into thermomechanical conditions.

Investigation of the Large-Scale Pallet by Recycled Polypropylene and the Sequential Valve Gate System during the Injection Molding

Chun-Der Cheng et al.

Summary: Plastic pallets are essential for transporting industrial products within containers and can be more environmentally friendly when made from recycled plastics. By using a baffle cooling system and multiple filling gates, large-size pallets can be injection molded with lower locking force. The sequential valve gate opening scheme reduces welding lines, decreases filling pressure, and minimizes warpage of the pallet compared to the concurrent valve gate opening scheme.
