Abstract

Injection molding is a standout among the most imperative techniques utilized for forming thermoplastic parts in industry. 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, several mold flow simulations are carried out using Creo-MoldFlow. The outcomes of the simulation are used to design the mold tool and optimizing the process parameters. The objective of this work is to optimize the process parameters such as filling time, melt temperature, mold temperature for high glass fiber reinforced polyarylamide composites. This consolidates the gray relational analysis (GRA) and CAE flow simulation software, to simulate the process as well as to anticipate the fiber orientation.
