Abstract

Generally a plastic injection molding is a manufacturing process used to produce the various parts of complicated shape at low cost. The objective of this study is to implement a new plastic injection molding process with inserted Aluminum sheet, which is highly durable, light and luminous. Moldflow analysis and simulation of plastic injection molding process with inserted Aluminum sheet were carried out in order to predict optimal molding operation conditions. The experimental results in the Al-inserted plastic injection molding process were compared with the simulation results by Moldflow. Durability and reliability test results for trial products were satisfied to adopt the Al-inserted plastic injection molding process developed as manufacturing of automobile interior parts.
