0996: Study of Cast in Passages for Rotational Molds
Kristopher J. Ivie, Penn State Erie
This paper discusses the theoretical effect of cast in passages on the wall thickness of rotationally molded part. Finite element analysis was used to determine temperature differences for given passage geometry and dimensions. Testing was done to determine the relationship between surface temperatures and melt thickness versus time. This information provides a theoretical model for construction of rotational molds using cast in passages.
