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.

What's the properties of POM?

  Polyformaldehyde (POM) thermoplastic crystalline polymer. Known as "Super Steel" or "Sai Steel", The English abbreviation is POM. Generally, polymers obtained by formaldehyde polymerization have a low degree of polymerization and are easily thermally depolymerized. It can be used as a raw material for organic chemicals and synthetic resins, and as a fumigant for drugs. 1.General property POM  is a hard, dense material with a smooth surface and gloss, light yellow or white, thin-walled partly translucent. Combustion characteristics are easy to burn, and continue to burn after leaving the ignition source. The flame is yellow at the upper end and blue at the lower end. Melting dripping occurs and has a strong pungent formaldehyde smell and fishy smell. POM is white powder, usually opaque, good coloring, specific gravity 1.41-1.43 g/cm3, molding shrinkage 1.2-3.0%, molding temperature 170-200℃, drying conditions 80-90℃ for 2 hours. POM's long-term heat resistance ...

What is 'Catch hook and thin-wall' of plastic mold products?

What is 'Catch hook and thin-wall' of  plastic mold products ?​ 1. The Catch hook The catch surface and the amount of catch hook are the important basis for the test data during assembe.  Once made any tiny mistake about these numbers, It would become a huge mistake of the product. Therefore, during mould design, We needs to pay special attentin to the catch hook assembly and testing. 2. The thin-wall What is the big problem about thin wall? The binding point is particularly easy to press and brittle, Then could't pass the test. It will be difficult to assemble in the next step, The product will be uneven filling, shrink, and easy broken.

Useful Tips for Custom Titanium Manufacturing

  JY Machinery offers high-quality precision and cost-effective CNC machining services for   custom titanium parts   to enhance manufacturing efficiency. Custom Titanium alloy manufacturing is mainly used for the production of aircraft engine compressor components, followed by the structural parts of rockets, missiles and high-speed aircraft, and related medical accessories. The density of titanium alloy is generally about 4.51g/cm3, which is only 60% of steel. The density of pure titanium is close to that of ordinary steel. Some high-strength titanium alloys exceed the strength of many alloy structural steels. Therefore, the specific strength (strength/density) of titanium alloy is much greater than other metal structural materials, and parts with high unit strength, good rigidity and light weight can be produced. The aircraft's engine components, skeleton, skin, fasteners and landing gear all use titanium alloys. The Reasons Why Titanium Is Hard to Machine If you want t...
