Q
injection molding defects voids
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Injection molding defects, such as voids, are essentially pockets of air trapped within or close to the surface of molded parts. They occur when the molten plastic fails to consolidate fully as it cools and solidifies. Various factors can lead to the formation of voids, including insufficient material, inadequate pressure during the injection phase, too fast or too slow cooling, and improper gas venting. Addressing these issues involves optimizing the molding process parameters, such as increasing the injection pressure and time, adjusting cooling rates to ensure gradual solidification, and improving venting to permit trapped gases to escape. Utilizing materials with less viscosity can also aid in reducing voids since they fill the mold cavities more efficiently. Ensuring uniform wall thickness in the design phase can mitigate this issue too by promoting even cooling.
