How to prevent plastic melt from rupture during plastic injection molding?

 When the melt is injected into a cavity with a large volume under high-speed and high-pressure conditions, melt fracture is very easy to occur. At this time, the surface of the melt appears transverse fracture, and the fracture area is roughly mixed on the surface of the plastic part to form a paste spot. Especially when a small amount of melt is directly injected into the cavity that is prone to be too large, the melt fracture will be more serious, and the paste spot will be larger.

The nature of melt fracture is caused by the elastic behavior of the polymer melt. When the melt flows in the barrel, the melt near the barrel is rubbed by the barrel wall, and the negative force is large, and the flow speed of the melt Smaller, once the melt is injected from the nozzle, the negative force acting on the tube wall disappears, and the flow rate of the melt in the middle of the barrel is extremely high. The melt at the barrel wall is carried by the melt at the center and accelerated. The flow is relatively continuous, and the flow velocity of the inner and outer melt will be rearranged, tending to the average velocity.

During this process, the melt will undergo a sharp stress change and strain will occur. Because of the extremely fast injection speed, the stress received is extremely large, which is far greater than the strain capacity of the melt, leading to melt fracture.

If the melt encounters a sudden shape change in the flow channel, such as diameter shrinkage, expansion, and a dead angle, the melt stays and circulates at the dead angle. The force is different from the normal melt, and the shear deformation is larger. When mixed into the normal flow material and injected, the deformation of the two is inconsistent and cannot be bridged. If the disparity is large, fracture and rupture will occur, and its manifestation is also melt fracture.

It can be seen from the above that it is necessary to overcome the rupture of the trapped melt and avoid the occurrence of smears:

1.To pay attention to eliminate the dead corners in the runner and make the runner as streamlined as possible;


2.To appropriately increase the temperature of the material, reduce the relaxation time of the melt, and make it easier to recover and bridge the deformation;


3.Adding low-molecular substances to the raw materials, because the lower the molecular weight of the melt, the wider the distribution, which is more conducive to reducing the elastic effect;


4.The fourth is to properly control the injection speed and screw speed;


5. It is very important to set the gate position reasonably and choose the correct gate form. Practice has shown that the use of expanded point gates and latent gates (tunnel gates) are ideal. It is best to choose the location of the gate after the melt is injected into the transition cavity first, and then enter the larger cavity. Do not let the flow material directly enter the larger cavity.

The polishing treatment methods for alumina ceramics

  It has become very common for thick film integrated circuits to use   alumina ceramics . Ceramic materials mainly made of alumina (Al2O3) have good conductivity, mechanical strength and high temperature resistance. It is a widely used ceramic at present. ​ However, after the alumina ceramic is sintered and cooled, it does not mean the end of product processing. Some products do not meet the application requirements. Therefore, they need to be processed, such as size correction and polishing. The polishing treatment method of alumina ceramics is as follows: 1. Using laser processing and ultrasonic processing for grinding and polishing. 2. Use Al2O3 powder or diamond paste for grinding and polishing. 3. The method of glazing is required (suitable for products that require high surface smoothness). 4. Use diamond, silicon carbide, etc. harder than alumina to grind step by step from coarse to fine. 5. The surface of the material is processed by ion implantation. Ion implantation...

The solution of bubble issue during injection molding process

  According to the causes of bubbles, the countermeasures are as follows: (1) When the wall thickness of the product is large, the cooling speed of its external surface is faster than that of the central plastic part. Therefore, as the cooling goes on, the resin at the central part shrinks and expands towards the surface, resulting in insufficient filling at the central part. This condition is called a vacuum bubble. Solutions mainly include: A) Determine the reasonable gate and gate size according to the wall thickness. Generally, gate height shall be 50% ~ 60% of the wall thickness of the product. B) Until the gate is sealed, a certain amount of supplementary injection material is left. C) The injection time should be slightly longer than the gate sealing time. D) Reduce the injection speed and increase the injection pressure; E) Use materials with high melt viscosity. 2) The bubbles caused by the production of volatile gases are mainly solved as follows: A) Sufficient pre-drying...

The application range of sandblasting treatment

Sandblasting is the process of cleaning and roughening the substrate surface by the impact of high-speed sand flow. Use compressed air as the power to form a high-speed jet beam to spray the blasting material (copper ore, quartz sand, corundum, iron sand, Hainan sand) at high speed on the surface of the workpiece to be processed, so that the appearance or shape of the outer surface of the workpiece surface changes. (1)  Workpiece coating and sandblasting before workpiece bonding can remove all dirt such as rust on the surface of the workpiece, and establish a very important basic pattern on the surface of the workpiece (the so-called rough surface). By changing the abrasives with different particle sizes, the roughness of different degrees is achieved, which greatly improves the binding force of the workpiece with coatings and plating materials. Or make the adhesive bond more firm and better quality. (2)  The rough surface of the casting, the cleaning and polishing of t...
