Molding
Compression Molding
Compression Molding
• Charge is placed in cavity of matched
mold in the open position
• Mold is closed by bring the two halves
together
• Pressure is exerted to squeeze the resin
so that it fills the mold cavity
• While under pressure the mold is heated
which cures the resin
– Thermosets

Compression Molding
• Standard thermosets of various types
• Molding compounds (mixtures of materials)
– Thermoset resin (30%)
– Reinforcement fibers (10%)
– Fillers (60%)
• Bulk Molding Compound (BMC)
• Sheet Molding Compound (SMC)

Compression Molding
• Charge is made up from thermoset
materials
• Charge is rolled flat
• Multiple layers of SMC can be used in a
mold
• Longer fibers than BMC
Compression Molding
• Compression molded parts
– Total force needed per part is determined by:
• Projected area of the part (A)
• Required cavity pressure for the resin (PA)
• Pressure factor that accounts for depth (ρ)
• Depth in excess of the minimum amount (de)
F = (A) [(PA) + (ρde)]
Compression Molding
• Compression molding machines
– Total force that can be exerted is called:
• Press capacity
• Machine rating
• Machine size
• Rated in Newtons or Tons
– Determined by the area of the hydraulic ram
and the hydraulic pressure in the line
Press Capacity (tons) =
Area of Ram (inches2
) X Hydraulic Pressure (psi)
2000 (pounds/ton)
Compression Machines
Compression Molding vs
Injection Molding
Compression Molding Injection Molding
Cooled mold
Thermoplastic material
Short cycle time (seconds)
Can reprocess flash and waste parts
High part complexity
Undercuts are possible
Uses sprue and runners
Some reinforcement material possible,
must be short (whisker length)
Heated mold
Thermoset material
Long cycle time (minutes)
Can’t recycle flash or waste parts
Low part complexity
No undercuts
No sprue or runners
Reinforcement material can be long
(inches)
Transfer Molding
• Mixed resin is placed in the transfer
chamber
• Resin is heated to liquid state
• Plunger presses liquid resin through sprue
and runner system to mold cavities
• Mold is heated
• After resin is cured, parts are removed
Transfer Molding
Product Considerations
• Practically all thermosets can be compression or
transfer molded
– Liquids
– Pastes
• Liquid resin with filler
– Doughs
• Pastes with reinforcement
– Granules
• B-staged resin (phenolics)
– Preforms
• Granules pressed into a pre-measured shape for easier
handling
Cold Forming, Sintering and Ram
Extrusion
• Used where heat processing is
difficult or impossible
• High pressures
• Lower temperatures
Thank You
