Abstract:

Lipsticks are formed by casting process. To understand and improve the industrial casting process, the solidification of model materials of lipsticks are studied by experimental characterization and numerical simulation. Experimentally, the crystallization kinetics of wax components on rapid cooling conditions is characterized and modelled by using the Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The mechanical constitutive model according to the progress of the solidification process is determined with different rheological testing protocols (Couette rheological tests and indentation tests). The crystallization morphology of different wax components is correlated to different cooling conditions. Numerically, the kinetics model of crystallization and the mechanical behavior law are associated and integrated in finite elements based numerical calculations. Thermomechanical phenomena of the casting process and probable causes of cast defects are analyzed by numerical simulation of the industrial process.

Keywords: lipstick, casting process, crystallization kinetics, mechanical behavior, crystallization morphology, numerical simulation
