Why the cracking happens during the injection molded products

Cracking, including filament cracks on the surface of the part, Tiny-cracking, whitening, cracking, and damage due to the sticking of the part, the sticking of the flow path, or the traumatic failure, splitting and cracking according to the cracking time. There are mainly the following reasons:
◊  Processing:
- If the processing pressure is too large, the speed is too fast, the more filling, the injection and the holding time are too long, the internal stress will be too large and crack.
- Adjusting the mold opening speed and pressure to prevent demoulding cracking caused by rapid drawing of the work-piece.
- Appropriately increase the mold temperature, make the parts easy to demould, and appropriately reduce the material temperature to prevent decomposition.
-  Prevention of cracking due to weld line degradation due to plastic degradation caused by plastic degradation.
- Appropriate use of the release agent and attention should be paid to the elimination of substances such as aerosols attached to the mold surface.
- The residual stress of the work-piece can be reduced by eliminating the internal stress by annealing heat treatment immediately after molding to reduce the generation of cracks.
◊  Mold aspect:
-The eject should be balanced. For example, if the number of ejector pins and the cross-sectional area is sufficient, the draft angle should be sufficient, and the cavity surface should be sufficiently smooth to prevent cracking due to the external force causing residual stress concentration.
-The structure of the work-piece should not be too thin, and the transition part should adopt the arc transition as much as possible to avoid stress concentration caused by sharp corners and chamfer
- Minimize the use of metal inserts to prevent the internal stress from increasing due to the difference in shrinkage between the insert and the part.
-Appropriate stripping intake passages shall be provided for deep-bottomed parts to prevent vacuum under-pressure.
-The main channel is large enough to release the gate material in the future when it is cured so that it is easy to demould.
-The main channel bushing and the nozzle joint should prevent the chilling material from being dragged to make the work-piece stick to the fixed mold
◊ Material aspects:
-The content of recycled materials is too high, resulting in too low strength of the parts.
-The humidity is too large, causing some plastics to react with water vapor, reducing the strength and causing cracking.
- The material itself is not suitable for the environment or quality that is being processed, and the pollution will cause cracking.
◊ Machine side
The plasticizing capacity of the injection molding machine should be appropriate. If the plasticization is too small, it will not be completely mixed and become brittle. When it is too large, it will degrade.

5 Ways to help you remove the scratch from your mobile phone

Now everyone has a big screen smart phone,  but  if you do not buy a protective shell or cover , it is easy to   scratch  at the back rear  cover or the screen , even if  it was covered by  the whole wrap protective  case , there will inevitably be some scratches on the screen .  Here are some tips that you can DIY to  remove  scratch es on your phone , the effect is magical, have a  try ! 1, toothpaste Toothpaste can be used in many occasions to scratch, toothpaste contains solid calcium carbonate, silica and other ingredients have the effect of grinding, and because of the hardness and screen glass similar, often can have a good  effect on removing scratch. But don't use children's toothpaste to clean your phone screen. Just use regular toothpaste.First, squeeze a little bit of toothpaste on a cotton swab or a clean cloth, then paint a circle around the scratched area and wipe gently until the scratch is g...

Let's stop plastic waste at its sources

  Around the world, one million plastic drinking bottles are purchased every minute, while up to 5 trillion single-use plastic bags are used worldwide every year. In total, half of all plastic produced is designed to be used only once — and then thrown away.While plastic has many valuable uses, we have become addicted to single-use or disposable plastic — with severe environmental consequences.  We have seen a lot of positive action to reduce the plastic waste such as: garbage sorting,limit the use of disposable plastic products and the developing and manufacturing of the recycling. But we need to do more, we need to stop the plastic pollution at its sources   100% Biodegradable material was tested is 100% compostable and  can be completely degraded into  carbon dioxide and Oxygen in the Under natural composting and home composting conditions . As a kind of natural degradable material, biodegradable material plays a unique role in environmental protection. Its r...

How to select to phone case that is fit for you

We don’t pay the insurance for our phone, but we will add some extra protection for it , a phone case is one of the protection for your phone .So what case should we select for our smartphone ? When it comes to buying the case for our phone, we have met some problems more or less, such as “It scratches very easy” "The buttons are way to stiff when using this cases" "The color is   beautiful and it’s easy to pop on but the material is NOT durable.” Actually, most of these problems are related to the material that the phone case is made from, every material has its own advantage and disadvantage,after we know the performance of the material, we can choose a better case that is fit for you. Silicone phone case: Silicone phone case is a typical application of silicone protective cover. It’s softness is   between 35-80A Shore hardness and a slightly slippery feel . It has been popular in the market for many years. Silicone rubber, commonly known as silica gel, is a h...
