Influence of relative low gas counter pressure on melt foaming behavior and surface quality of molded parts in microcellular injection molding process

Abstract: A complex medical instrument exterior shell was chosen as a studying object to investigate the influence of relative low (<10 MPa) gas counter pressure process on microcellular injection molding process. The gas counter pressure microcellular injection mould and related experiments were designed. The relative low gas counter pressure under which the melt can foam was mainly considered to improve the surface quality of molded parts without significantly prolonging production cycle. The effects of the gas counte… Show more

“…10 Complex medical instrument exterior shells with ideal cell morphology and surface quality can also be obtained by the microcellular injection molding process combined with gas counter pressure process. 11 Recently, supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ) has been gaining great emphasis in research and polymer processing industries. 12,13 In particular, scCO 2 represents an attractive alternative to ozone-depleting blowing agents as an environmentalfriendly and efficient physical-blowing agent for microcellular foaming applications.…”

“…RHCM/MIM was used to investigate the transient flow behavior of foam composites and formation mechanism of the surface defects [8][9][10]. Gas counter pressure (GCP) combined with MIM has been used to improve the surface quality of MIM products by controlling bubbles nucleation in the filling stage [11][12][13]. GCP is the way to inject high-pressure gas into the mold cavity before melt injection and keep a constant back pressure during the melt filling process.…”
