Analysis of reasons for Warpage of Plastic Injection Molding Products-2

1)Design of the gating system,the gate location, form and number of gates of the injection mold will affect the filling state of the plastic raw material in the mold cavity and then result in deformation of the plastic part. The longer the flow distance, the greater the internal stress caused by the flow and the filling between the frozen layer and the central flow layer.Conversely, the shorter the flow distance, the shorter the flow time from the gate to the flow end of the plastic injection parts, and the freezing during filling.The thickness of the layer is reduced, the internal stress is lowered, and the warpage deformation is also greatly reduced.
For a large flat plastic part, if only one center gate or one side gate is used, since the shrinkage rate in the diameter direction is larger than the shrinkage ratio in the circumferential direction, the molded plastic part will be distorted.Point gates or film gates can effectively prevent warpage. When molding by spot casting, the position and the number of gates have a great influence on the degree of deformation of the plastic part due to the anisotropy of shrinkage of the plastic. 
Since 30% glass fiber reinforced PA6 is used, a large injection molded part with a weight of 4.95 kg is obtained, so that a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided along the flow direction of the surrounding wall, so that a sufficient balance can be obtained for each gate. In addition, the use of multiple gates can also shorten the flow ratio (L/t) of the plastic, thereby making the density of the material in the cavity more uniform and shrinking more uniform. At the same time, the entire plastic part can be filled with a small injection pressure. The smaller injection pressure can reduce the molecular orientation tendency of the plastic and reduce the internal stress, thereby reducing the deformation of the plastic part.

Technical Problem 8 from Fiberglass Compression Molding- Surface Ripple
Description:Ripple on the long,vertical and thin surface of fiberglass parts,which is at right angles to the direction of flowing.Also due to other adverse flow conditions (wall thickness difference) may result in Irregular surface ripple. 
Condition:Complex design of the product prevents uniform material flowing.

Analysis of reasons for Warpage of Plastic Injection Molding Products-1

With the development of the plastics injection molding industry, people have higher and higher requirements on the appearance and performance of plastic injected parts. The degree of warpage deformation is one of the important indicators for evaluating product quality, and it is more and more concerned and valued by mold designers. Mold designers hope to predict the possible warpage of plastic parts during the design phase in order to optimize the design and then they can improve the efficiency and quality of injection molding, shorten the mold design cycle and reduce costs. I take this change to analyze the factors affecting the warpage of injection molded products during the design process of plastic injection molds.

1. Effect of the mold structure on the warpage of plastic injection products:In terms of mold design, themain factors affecting the deformation of plastic parts are pouring system, cooling system and ejection system.

Chapter 2--Gas assistance system for Pressure Reduction technology in Plastic Injection Molding

Principle:

 In fact, pressure must be generated in the production of molded plastic parts. In general, the pressure in the cavity is caused by a slight shrinkage, and its effect is cumulative, and this cumulative effect will eventually lead to the defective plastic injection parts. Typically, when the part is removed from the mold for the first time, it can resist the effect of the in-mold pressure on the structure of injected plastic parts. Plastic parts can cause slight deformation or cracking only at high temperature. In practical applications, all the mold parameters can cause a slight deformation, resulting in in-mold pressure. When these forces act together on the same part, a large amount of extra stress is generated. The forces acting on the part result in the generation of pressure. When the pressure is very small, it will not have a significant impact. However, if the pressure is high enough, the in-mold pressure becomes a factor that must be considered because the combined action with the external force will exceed the maximum value that the  plastic injected partscan withstand.The most serious result is parts fracture.
