(Ⅲ) How to deal with flow marks on injection-molded parts? 2024-09-27




  • Mold temperature too low

    • Cause: The low mold temperature causes the molten plastic to cool too quickly in the runner, preventing full fusion.
    • Solution: Increase the mold temperature to ensure the molten plastic flows smoothly and fuses completely.
  • Injection speed too slow

    • Cause: Slow injection speed causes the plastic to flow slowly, extending cooling time and forming weld lines.
    • Solution: Increase the injection speed so that the molten plastic quickly fills the mold cavity, reducing cooling time.
  • Melt temperature too low

    • Cause: Low melt temperature results in poor flow, preventing full fusion in the weld area.
    • Solution: Raise the melt temperature to improve the plastic's flowability and ensure better fusion.
  • Insufficient injection pressure

    • Cause: Insufficient pressure prevents the molten plastic from fully filling the mold cavity, resulting in poor weld lines.
    • Solution: Increase the injection pressure to ensure the molten plastic fully fills the cavity and fuses.
  • Poor venting

    • Cause: Air in the mold cavity cannot be vented properly, obstructing the flow of the molten plastic and creating weld lines.
    • Solution: Improve the mold's venting system to ensure smooth air evacuation.
  • Improper material ratio

    • Cause: Incorrect material ratios, such as too much filler or inappropriate additives, affect the plastic's flow and fusion ability.
    • Solution: Adjust the material ratio and select suitable fillers and additives to ensure material performance meets requirements.
  • Unreasonable mold design

    • Cause: Poor runner design causes weld lines to form at the convergence points of the molten plastic.
    • Solution: Improve mold design, optimize runner layout, and reduce the areas where the molten plastic converges.
  • Nozzle or runner blockage

    • Cause: Partial blockage of the nozzle or runner obstructs the flow of the molten plastic, forming weld lines.
    • Solution: Inspect and clean the nozzle and runner to ensure smooth plastic flow.
  • Improper cooling time

    • Cause: Cooling time that is too long or too short results in uneven cooling of the plastic in the mold cavity, forming weld lines.
    • Solution: Optimize cooling time to ensure even cooling and proper fusion of the plastic.
  • Insufficient material drying

    • Cause: High moisture content in the plastic material causes bubbles during flow, leading to weld lines.
    • Solution: Ensure sufficient material drying to reduce the moisture content in the material.
  • Improper machine settings

    • Cause: Incorrect parameter settings on the injection molding machine lead to poor plastic flow and weld lines.
    • Solution: Set the injection molding machine parameters—such as temperature, pressure, and speed—appropriately based on product requirements.
  • Uneven distribution of additives

    • Cause: Uneven distribution of additives in the plastic results in poor local flow, creating weld lines.
    • Solution: Improve the uniformity of material mixing to ensure even distribution of additives.
