Metal Injection Molding—Mould Sub-runner


Sub-runner in metal injection molding mould refers to a mainstream between sprue and gate. It is the transition for melting material flowing from sprue into cavity and  through section area change to material diversion in pouring system. It can make material get a smooth transformation.
 Section Design 
A. General design  is circular
B. Considering better process, it is usually designed to U shape, V shape, trapezoidal shape or hexagon shape
C. Shape and size of section should be based on the volume,  wall thickness, shape of products as well as  process properties, injection speed and length of runner.
 
2. There are two layouts for runner:  balanced  feed and non-balanced  feed. Balanced feed is to ensure each feeding throat  fed  evenly at the same time. The unbalanced feed refers to not  feeding  each feeding throat  evenly at the same time. Generally it is evaluated through mold flow analysis.
