Shrinkage Behaviors of PA6 polymer according to Shape Ratio of Product in Injection Molding

PA6 사출성형품의 형상비에 따른 성형수축 거동

Nowadays, plastic industry has needed to produce parts that require high precision and quality. To make a high precision and quality part, before injection molding, plastic material is investigated about their properties such as shrinkage, warpage, etc. In this study, experiments were conducted with PA6(polyamid) to figure out shrinkage behavior according to three type aspect ratio of samples. The injection speed that affects on shear rate, molecular orientation within plastic part was determined as main variable of experiment. As a result of experimental study, part shrinkage had a tendency to be decreased by increasing injection speed and aspect ratio of samples.
