Injection Moulding:
Injection molding (British variant spelling: moulding) is a manufacturing
technique for making parts from both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic
materials in production. Molten plastic is injected at high pressure into
a mold (British variant spelling: mould), which is the inverse of the product's
shape. After a product is designed by an Industrial Designer or an Engineer,
molds are made by a moldmaker (or toolmaker) from metal, usually either
steel or aluminium, and precision-machined to form the features of the desired
part. Injection molding is widely used for manufacturing a variety of parts,
from the smallest component to entire body panels of cars. Injection molding
is the most common method of production, with some commonly made items including
bottle caps and outdoor furniture. Materials Used:
The most commonly used thermoplastic materials are polystyrene (low cost,
lacking the strength and longevity of other materials), ABS or acrylonitrile
butadiene styrene (a co-polymer or mixture of compounds used for everything
from Lego parts to electronics housings), nylon (chemically resistant, heat
resistant, tough and flexible - used for combs), polypropylene (tough and
flexible - used for containers), polyethylene, and polyvinyl chloride or
PVC (more common in extrusions as used for pipes, window frames, or as the
insulation on wiring where it is rendered flexible by the inclusion of a
high proportion of plasticiser). Injection
molding can also be used to manufacture parts from aluminium or brass. The
melting points of these metals are much higher than those of plastics; this
makes for substantially shorter mold lifetimes despite the use of specialized
steels. Nonetheless, the costs compare quite favorably to sand casting,
particularly for smaller parts. Injection Moulding:
