Injection‑Molding Parameters
| Process Parameter | Reference Range | Remarks & Instructions |
|---|---|---|
| Drying Treatment | 70‑80°C, 2‑4 hours | Keep hopper heated to prevent moisture re‑absorption; excessive moisture may cause silver streaks and bubbles. |
| Barrel Temperature | Rear zone:190‑200℃ Middle zone:200‑220℃ Front zone:220‑230℃ Nozzle:220‑230℃ (do not exceed 240°C to avoid material degradation) |
‑ |
| Mold Temperature | 40‑80℃ (commonly 50‑70℃) | Higher mold temperature improves surface gloss and reduces internal stress. |
| Injection Pressure | 68.6‑108 MPa (≈700‑1100 kg/cm²) | Adjust according to flow length and part structure. |
| Holding Pressure | Approx. 30%‑60% of injection pressure | Optimize per wall thickness and structure to reduce internal stress and shrinkage. |
| Injection Speed | Medium or medium‑high speed | High‑speed improves gloss yet may cause flow marks; adopt slow‑to‑fast injection‑speed control. |
| Screw Speed | 50‑80 rpm | ‑ |
| Back Pressure | 0.5‑1.5 MPa (5‑15 kg/cm²) | Proper back‑pressure ensures uniform plasticization and degassing. |
