摘要: Abstract The influences of the cavity surface temperature just before filling on appearance and texture moulded reinforced plastic parts in rapid heat cycle moulding (RHCM) are investigated. Two typical plastics including ABS/PMMA/nano-C a CO 3 20% fibre polypropylene (FRPP) tested experiments. roughness, gloss morphology part characterized with white light interferometer, meter, optical microscope, respectively. It is observed that has significant influence appearance. With increase filling, aesthetic quality can be greatly improved. There critical value for each plastic. As reaches value, will reach optimal level low roughness high gloss. weld mark V-shaped structure while FRPP hump-shaped structure. width reduces gradually until it disappears completely height decreases firstly then increases. mechanisms improvement by increasing generation disclosed.
