    Study Notes

    Injection Molding Process

    • The reciprocating screw plays a crucial role in the injection molding process by plastifying, mixing, and metering the polymer-fiber mixture.

    Polymer-Fiber Mixture Composition

    • The polymer-fiber mixture used in injection molding is a composite material consisting of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers.

    Sprue Gate and Runners Function

    • The sprue gate and runners in the injection molding process serve as channels that direct the molten polymer-fiber mixture from the injection molding machine into the mold cavity.

    Injection Molding Process Step

    • The process of forcing the molten polymer-fiber mixture into the mold under high pressure is called injection.

    Feeding the Polymer-Fiber Mixture

    • The polymer-fiber mixture is fed into the injection molding machine through a hopper, where it is gravity-fed into the machine's barrel.
