Abstract:

The right-angle corners and spherical corners were arranged in the grading part of the flow channel to improve the filling imbalance of microinjection-molded parts. An eight?cavity injection mold with micro-cylinder holes at diameters of 200 and 300 μm was designed. The injection-molding experiment was carried out with high?density polyethylene (PE-HD) as a raw material. The results indicated that as the injection rate and mold temperature increased gradually, the spherical corners became better than the right?angle ones for improving filling imbalance. With an increase in the feature size of the micro?cylindrical hole, the improvement of the filling imbalance could be further enhanced by the right?angle corners and the spherical corners.

Key words: corner shape, micro injection molding, unbalanced filling, micro cylinder
