C-MOLD Anisotropic Shrinkage & Warpage (Amorphous Plastics)


Test ID

G-014

Description

Properties needed to perform a C-MOLD injection mold filling and packing plus shrink/warp simulation are generated. These include viscosity vs. shear rate at three temperatures (two in the processing range and one below); thermal properties, PVT data. Additionally, mechanical properties are derived from tests on specimens cut from injection molded plaques; tensile modulus and thermal expansion coefficient in flow and cross-flow direction, Poisson’s Ratio in 12 and 23 directions and in-plane shear modulus. Viscosity data are fit to Cross-WLF model and PVT data are fit to a Tait equation.

Included Tests

1x D-020 PVT (Isothermal Heating)
3x R-011 Capillary Rheology (1 Temperature)
1x M-013 Orthotropic In-Plane Shear Modulus (Includes M-010, M-101)
1x T-015 Specific Heat
1x T-302 Thermal Expansion Coefficient by TMA (Anisotropic)
1x T-103 Thermal Conductivity Scan

Application

In addition to all the capabilities of the C-Mold Post Filling program, this TestPak enables calculations of shrinkage and warpage. Recommended for materials expected to show anisotropy, such as fiber-filled materials.
