Abstract

Taking the amount of warpage deformation of automotive brake Plug-in as the research object, UG NX10.0 software was used to design the product model and Moldflow software was used for predictive analysis of the product model. The preliminary optimized parameters were obtained by using the response surface method - central composite experiment design (CCD) and combined with injection molding CAE technology. The mold temperature was 70°C, the melt temperature was 250°C, the holding pressure was 95 MPa, and the holding time was 10s. The warpage was 1.18 mm. Through the analysis of variance, the influence of four injection process parameters on product warpage was obtained, namely, holding pressure>holding time>melt temperature>mold temperature. Based on the fitted response surface algorithm model, the process parameters were optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO) with the minimum warpage as the constraint condition, and the optimal combination of the optimized process parameters was obtained, that was, the mold temperature was 60°C, the melt temperature was 280°C, the holding pressure was 95 MPa and the holding time was 8.296 s. The minimum warpage was 1.057 mm. The optimization results showed that the minimum warpage was reduced by 10.85% compared with the initially optimized parameters, and the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by using this parameter combination for actual injection production.
