Do you know which nylon materials are used in new energy vehicles? 2024-11-15

In the new energy vehicle materials industry, polymers encompass plastics, rubber, silicone materials, and composite fiber materials such as carbon fiber. To avoid safety hazards associated with high-voltage systems, materials for new energy vehicles must not only be heat-resistant but also flame-retardant. Therefore, Xiamen LFT has introduced a flame-retardant polyamide solution targeting manufac...

How to increase the gloss of ABS injection-molded products? 2024-11-11

Injection Mold 1. If the mold cavity is poorly machined, with defects such as scratches, micro-pores, wear, or rough surfaces, it will affect the gloss of the plastic part. To address this, ensure precise machining of the mold to achieve a lower surface roughness for the cavity; if necessary, polish and chrome-plate the cavity. 2. If the cavity surface has oil stains, watermarks, or excessive mold...

Eight Ways to Reduce Injection Molding Costs 2024-11-08

1. Production Workshop The layout of the production workshop should consider two main aspects: meeting production requirements and optimizing layout based on production flow, while ensuring flexible energy use under specific production conditions. (1) Power Supply: Ensure a stable power supply with a moderate buffer to avoid excessive energy waste from unused capacity. (2) Efficient Cooling Water ...

Overview of 8 Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Methods for Composite Materials 2024-11-01

Composite materials are new materials created through advanced material preparation techniques that combine components with different properties in an optimized manner. In the 1940s, due to the needs of the aviation industry, fiberglass-reinforced plastics (commonly known as fiberglass) were developed, marking the beginning of the term "composite materials." After the 1950s, high-strength and high...

The application of advanced composite materials in drone structural components. 2024-10-28

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), commonly referred to as "drone," is an aircraft that is operated without a human pilot on board, using radio remote control and onboard programmed control systems, or fully or intermittently autonomous operation via onboard computers. As a new type of aircraft, drones differ from manned aircraft in terms of operational requirements and mission objectives. Drones typi...

The application of high-performance long glass fiber (LFT) materials in explosion-proof cameras 2024-10-28

As we all know, explosion-proof products have extremely specific requirements—explosion-proof ratings, material standards, sealing performance, functionality, certification requirements, and more. Among these, material requirements are particularly stringent. Taking explosion-proof cameras as an example, most currently use stainless steel or cast aluminum alloy for the casing, which can withstand ...

The six essential requirements for precision injection molding 2024-10-25

In injection molding design, in addition to general mold design considerations, the following aspects should be given special attention: 1. To achieve the desired product dimensional tolerance, appropriate mold dimensional tolerances must be considered. 2. Preventing fluctuations in molding shrinkage rates should be accounted for. 3. Preventing molding deformation must be addressed. 4. Avoiding de...

Tsinghua University: Study on the Comprehensive Performance and Influencing Factors of Long Glass Fiber Reinforced PA66 Composites 2024-10-22

Introduction Fiber-reinforced polymer composites, due to their lightweight and high-strength characteristics, have found applications in many fields, especially in the transportation sector, where they can effectively reduce vehicle weight and better achieve energy savings and emission reductions. Among them, long glass fiber (LGF) reinforced polyamide materials (PA/LGF) are widely used in the man...
