Determination of the Thermal Conductivity of Metal-Polymers

摘要

The use of metal-polymers in the manufacture of mold-forming parts allows for the significant reduction in price and time used in manufacturing of parts. Using data on the thermal conductivity of metal-polymers in calculations of the cooling system of molds allows calculating the optimal cycle of obtaining the product. The authors propose a method of determining the coefficient of heat transfer of metal-polymers based on a die matrix, filled with aluminum. The chosen equipment or measuring tool by them, allows determining the heat transfer coefficient of the material in use. The values of the coefficient of heat transfer of the material in question, obtained in the course of the research can be use in different databases of applications used for modeling production by injection molding. The described method of determining the coefficient of heat transfer may be repeated for samples of metal-polymers.
