Why the cracking happens during the injection molded products



No alt text provided for this image
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.

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...

It can help to solve the problem you meet at the gift market

What the problem do you meet in the gift market? Do you still remember the gift you got at a promotion activity, or someone else gave you? Maybe you put it away because it wasn’t practical, and never use it, right? Finally, you don't remember where you put it. This is a very common situation that many people will encounter. This is also a problem that gift merchants have not considered. What will be the final result of the gift they sent out? Thinking from the company's point of view, you printed your company's LOGO on the gift you sent. You thought it would achieve the effect of advertising, actually, it didn't. You didn't know your customer or the person who received your gift how to handled the gift you gave. We need to consider : Is this gift we gave is helpful for our company? Are we giving them what they need? what we want to achieve by giving this gift and how to achieve? On the other hand, let’s think from personal perspective: Why do I need this gi...

TWS headset market will be the focus of the AI ​​era

In October last year, Apple launched the third-generation TWS (True Wireless Stereo) headset, AirPods Pro, on the official website for $ 249. This price is higher than the previous two generations, but it has not hit consumer enthusiasm in the slightest. Earlier, the two generations of TWS headphones released by Apple reversed the decline in sales after the release of ordinary electronic products, and became absolute benchmarks for the TWS headphones industry. The TWS headset is not just a sound transmission tool. Its more important role is an AI assistant based on voice interaction technology. As a smart wearable device, the TWS headset is designed to provide a better human-machine interaction experience. For consumers of TWS headsets, the instant automatic connection can be achieved after the initial setting, so a smooth user experience is more important than sound quality. This can also provide some explanation for "why AirPods can produce word-of-mouth effect...
