Abstract
Conventional injection molding (CIM) and rapid heat cycle molding (RHCM) methods are used to prepare ABS and (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene)/glass fiber copolymer (ABS/GF) plastic parts. Pentaerythritol stearate (PETS) and silicon particles are chosen as lubricants. Effect of resin viscosity and lubricants on properties of plastic parts was investigated. The results show that resin viscosity has some effect on surface quality of plastic parts in CIM process but no effect in RHCM process. ABS/GF plastic parts molded in RHCM process exhibit higher tensile, higher flexural strength and lower impact strength. Silicon is more effective in RHCM process than in CIM process.
