MELHORIA EM PROJETOS DE MATRIZES, PARA EXTRUSÃO DE PERFIS TERMOPLÁSTICOS (POLIPROPILENO E TERMOPLÁSTICO ELASTÔMERO) UTILIZADOS COMO VEEDAÇÃO AUTOMOTIVA COM O AUXÍLIO DA ANÁLISE COMPUTACIONAL

Abstract

In order to present the results obtained through the use of the CAE software (Computer Assisted Engineering), this work deals with the extrusion process of thermoplastic profiles for automobile seals, as well as the materials necessary for their improvement. It will describe the properties of its raw materials and the characteristics of the manufacturing process and the components that comprise them. It will emphasize the elaboration and improvement of tooling projects responsible for giving the shape of the extruded part through the computational fluid dynamics (CFD), with the use of this software to simulate the flow in the extrusion dies, with the intention of reducing the generated waste in the production process, both in the development phase, as well as in the production phase.
