Automotive Plastics: Principles of Materials & Process Selection 2 Day | Classroom Seminar I.D.# C0135 Plastic - any class of synthetically-produced organic compounds capable of being molded and hardened into a specific shape or form. This course is designed to offer a basic understanding of plastics and plastic processing. Using plastics can be simple, but there is much more behind producing high performance plastic parts. This seminar will walk you through the molding process, provide a comprehensive look at the variables in the manufac- turing mix, and review characteristics of typical automotive plastics such as PP, PVC, ABS, and more. This seminar will also cover troubleshooting molding mistakes and alternative processes, and review the selection of an application’s appropriate plastic material. Material presented is both an excellent foundation for further development and an extensive update for those already working in the field. Learning Objectives At the completion of this seminar, attendees will be able to: • demonstrate an understanding of typical automotive plastics and primary and application-specific plastics processing methods • recognize key plastics terminology and parameters related to plastics
−− Pressure in process −− Velocity generation, including mold filling, mold packing, cooling, ejection, material melting and material handling.
DAY TWO • Typical Injection Molding Mistakes −− Melt temperature
−− Material drying −− Contamination −− Over packing −− Incomplete fill
−− Oversized machines −− Undersized machines −− Temperature control
• Mold(s) • Function
−− Forming −− Cooling • Basic Design Requirements −− Clamp slots −− Ejection “hole” −− Support −− “Seal-off”
• explain alternative molding processes • prevent or reduce molding mistakes • understand the molding cycle • troubleshoot the processing operation
