PES is an engineering plastic with excellent performance, but in the process of injection molding, if the process is not appropriate, product defects are prone to occur. The following are some ways to optimize the injection molding process to reduce defects.
First, choose the injection molding machine reasonably. According to the injection volume and molding requirements of PES, choose the appropriate injection molding machine model and specifications. Make sure that the injection molding machine has precise injection volume control, stable pressure and speed adjustment functions. Temperature control is the key. The barrel temperature should be set according to the characteristics of PES, generally divided into several stages and gradually increased to ensure that the material is fully melted and not overheated and decomposed. The mold temperature also needs to be properly controlled. Generally, higher mold temperature helps to reduce internal stress and warping deformation of the product.
The adjustment of injection speed and pressure is crucial. The initial injection speed can be faster to quickly fill the cavity, and then gradually reduce the speed to avoid ejection and melt fracture. The injection pressure should be high enough to ensure complete filling, but too high pressure may cause flash and excessive internal stress. The setting of holding time and pressure also needs careful consideration. Properly extending the holding time and maintaining a certain holding pressure can compensate for the cooling shrinkage of the melt and reduce defects such as shrinkage holes and depressions.
In addition, reasonable gate design can improve the flow balance of the melt and reduce weld marks and flow marks. The use of multiple gates or latent gates can help to evenly fill the cavity. Drying treatment cannot be ignored. PES should be fully dried before injection molding to remove moisture, otherwise it may cause defects such as bubbles and silver wires. The exhaust system of the mold should be good to discharge the gas in the cavity in time to prevent burning and bubble defects caused by trapped air.
Finally, regular maintenance and maintenance of the injection molding equipment to ensure the accuracy and stability of the equipment is also an important measure to ensure product quality and reduce defects.
Through the above multi-faceted optimization and comprehensive consideration of the mutual influence of various process parameters, the injection molding process of PES can be effectively optimized, product defects can be reduced, and product quality and production efficiency can be improved.
