• College: Coll of Engineering Technology
• Department: Plastics-Rubber
• Credit Hours: 4
• This course has a lecture with 2 hours.
• This course has a lab with 6 hours.

A theoretical approach to injection molding. Plastics processing is examined from a molecular perspective. Various engineering plastics are described in rheological terms of flow response to forces applied. Advanced troubleshooting and process optimization is dealt with in terms of process monitoring and cavity pressure sensing. Varying process parameters, cycle times, and moisture are evaluated for their effects on the final parts. Various types of injection molding techniques are introduced. Pre-Requisites:Plastics or Rubber Engineering Technology students only. Typically Offered Spring Only
