THE OPTIMAL PARAMETERS OF THE WATER ASSISTED INJECTION MOLDING PROCESS WITH ABS MATERIAL

摘要

In this paper, the Water Assisted Injection Molding (WAIM) technology is applied to the design of a new mold. Two kinds of the ABS materials are utilized to undertake tests for the above new designed mold. Good results for the great decrease in the deformation as well as Warpage of the ABS products can be obtained. Finally, the Taguchi Method and Grey Theory are applied to finding the optimal parameters of injection molding process.
