    QUESTION 1

    A batch of 12 cm diameter disks with a thickness of 4 mm are to be molded from acrylonitrile-


    butadiene-styrene (ABS) in a four-cavity mold.
    Determine:

    (a) The recommended runner volume percentage

    Part volume = Total Projected Area x Thickness


    = 3.14 x 62 x 0.4 = 45.2 = 45 cm3
    From Table Q1(a), part volume between 32 - 64 cm3 and runner % is between 19 - 28%
    Therefore using interpolation;

    y = 24.34 = 24%

    (b) Total projected shot area [3 marks]

    Projected area = 3.14x62 = 113 cm2

    4 x 1.24 x 113 = 560.48 = 560.5 cm2

    (c) Maximum cavity pressure [2 marks]


    From Table Q1(c), Injection pressure for ABS is 1000 bars, Therefore
    Max cavity pressure = 1000 bars /2 = 500 bars = 500 x 105 N/m2
    (d) Maximum clamping force [3 marks]

    F = (560.5 x 10-4) x 500 x 105 N = 2802 kN

    (e) The appropriate machine size.[2 marks]

    From Table Q1(b), the appropriate machine would be the one with a maximum clamp force
    5000 kN

    (f) Charge position in cm, if screw diameter is 32mm [5 marks]

    The required shot size = 4 x 1.24 (113 x 0.4) = 224.19 = 224 cm3

    224 x / 3.14 (1.62) = 27.86 = 28 cm

    (g) The estimated fill time [5 marks]

    tf = 2 Vs Pj / pj s
    tf = 2 x (224 x 10-6) x (100 x 106) / (63 x 103) = 0.69 = 0.7s
