Compression Molding & RTM

The Compression Molding and Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) course explains two of the composites technologies most commonly used in the automotive industry; compression molding (utilizing SMC) and resin transfer molding. The SMC portion of the course explains what SMC is, how it is manufactured and how it is molded into parts. It also provides details about part design features unique to this technology as well as designing for mechanical or adhesive assembly. The RTM portion of this course explains the benefits and limitations of this process and goes on to explain the RTM process. It ends with a troubleshooting guide for RTM that may be used to help solve production difficulties in a molding operation.

Plastic Material Addititives

Additives may be examined from many perspectives; the approach taken in this course will examine the main purpose for using the additive, broadly separated into processing aids, property modifiers and protective materials. Also discussed is information about the additives that are blended with polymers to improve the balance of properties and optimize the polymer for specific applications.

Reaction Injection Molding (RIM)

The Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) Course describes what the RIM process is and explains what the steps are in a typical RIM molding sequence. The different types of polyurethane materials produced by this manufacturing technology are identified, including SRIM and RRIM. Typical equipment requirements for RIM production, such as metering and dispensing systems, mixing heads and part tooling are explained. Design recommendations for many of the features in parts manufactured with RIM are given (details such as bosses, rib, inserts, part draft and wall thickness). The basics of RIM mold design are addressed, such as venting, tolerances and gating. The program ends with an explanation of the post molding processes most frequently required with RIM composites

Thermoplastic Materials

The Thermoplastic Materials Course provides the users with a grasp of the basic properties and appropriate usages associated with each thermoplastic polymer type. Thermoplastic materials are available in a wide variety; and each type has characteristics that will be presented in a concise manner. Brief summaries of the methods of processing thermoplastics are also discussed and exemplified by photographs of common applications produced by each processing method.

Adhesives and Sealants

The Adhesives and Sealants Course describes the mechanisms, which can be postulated to explain the adhesion of one material to another: (1) mechanical interlocking, (2) electrostatic attraction (3) interdiffusion and (4) adsorption and surface reaction. Mechanical interlocking can certainly be a significant factor in adhesion. Another topic of discussion is the dominating adhesion mechanism, especially in the absence of reactive groups, is the electrostatic attraction between the polar groups of the adhesive to the adherends and to each other.

Finite Element Analysis, Prototyping

Within the Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Virtual Prototyping and Validation course various techniques are discussed, with examples and common tools available. In addition, two stages in the virtual design process are also evaluated. The first is the creation of the engineering design, and the second is the evaluation of the design. The tools for each are also reviewed. Exploration of the different forms of computer-aided design (CAD) such as, wire frame geometry, surface modeling, and solid modeling are key features of this course which will improve your understanding of design evaluation using simulations and virtual prototyping.

Foams: Insulating, Energy/Sound

The Foams Course provides insight into the components of urethane foams. The formation, structure, and physical properties of foams, as well as the applications best suited for foams are discussed as well.

Testing and Specifications of Plastics

The Testing and Specifications of Plastic Materials course describes many different methods that may be used to analyze polymeric materials. These range from a simple test like the notched Izod, to a sophisticated analysis carried out before, during and after a year long exposure under glass. These test methods all have a common purpose, insuring that a material or a part design does not fail during the product service life. In order to avoid and eliminate potential failures it is important to have an understanding of what the different test methods measure and the types of instruments that are used in the tests. Equally important is how these tests are used in writing specifications and what variables affect the test results.
