Abstract

High-frequency induction heating is an efficient way to rapidly heat mold surface by utilizing a high-frequency skin effect. Because the procedure allows for the rapid heating and cooling of mold surfaces, it has been recently applied to the injection molding in various purposes. The present work introduces various industrial applications of high-frequency induction heating to high-quality injection molding including: (i) moldability improvement in thin-wall injection molding, (ii) improvement of replication ratio of micro-features, and (iii) remove of weldlines for a mobile phone cover which contains multiple holes.
