(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: Increas...

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...
