Abstract

A semi-quantitative analysis is presented of freezing-off in a disc cavity during the injection moulding of thermoplastics. A criterion is obtained which enables the occurrence of freezing-off to be predicted, at least crudely. The form of the criterion is found to depend on the direction of flow (radially outward or inward) in the disc.
