Abstract

Injection molding is a standout technique utilized for the fabrication of thermoplastic parts in industry due to short product cycles, high part quality, good mechanical properties and low cost for large scale manufacturing. In molded case circuit breaker (MCCB), Trip-bar is one of the most critical components as safety is concerned which is manufactured by injection molding process. To get it manufactured within the specified warpage and deformities free, number of mold flow simulations is carried out using Creo-MoldFlow. The outcomes of the simulation are used to design the mold tool and the process parameters for injection molding are optimized. For process parameter optimization Taguchi based experimental design and ANOVA analysis is done. The objective of this work is to optimize the injection molding process parameters such as filling time, melt temperature and mold temperature to minimize the warpage. CAE flow simulation software is used to simulate the process and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) is used to find out optimum process parameters.
