SUMMARY

The discussion centers on terminology related to the molding process for producing cylindrical parts from a mixture of graphite and composite resin. Participants clarify that the time during which the mold is closed and held under pressure is referred to as "holding time." Additionally, they distinguish this from "cooling time," which occurs after pressure is released. The conversation emphasizes the importance of precise terminology in manufacturing processes, particularly in injection molding.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of molding processes, specifically injection molding.
  • Familiarity with terms like "holding time" and "cooling time."
  • Knowledge of materials used in molding, such as graphite and composite resin.
  • Experience with manufacturing terminology and processes.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the differences between holding time and cooling time in injection molding.
  • Explore the properties and applications of graphite and composite resin in manufacturing.
  • Learn about the injection molding process and its various stages.
  • Investigate best practices for terminology in manufacturing documentation.
USEFUL FOR

Manufacturing engineers, injection molding specialists, and anyone involved in the production of molded parts will benefit from this discussion.

Hello everyone!

Need help with choosing a term.
The situation is that there is a molding process.
The result of this process is a cylindrically shaped part made of a mixture of graphyte and and composite resin.

When the mixture is put into the mold, the mold is closed and held in this state for a certain time under load.

What would you call this time under load?

Is it ok to say:

molding time under load

Thanks

I work in injection moulding. I would say this for a plastic part being made in an injection moulding machine.

The time that the part is being held under pressure is the holding time.
There is further time in the injection moulding process after the pressure is released. This is called cooling time.

Thank you.

I think what I'm describing is not injection molding?
