Melt Fracture Surface Defect of PEEK
Problembeschreibung
During high-speed filling of PEEK, sharkskin-like or bamboo-node-like rough texture appears on the product surface; reducing speed improves it, but thin-wall parts then face the short shot contradiction.
Ursachenanalyse
When the melt passes through the gate or die lip, the shear rate exceeds the critical value and the surface melt fractures; PEEK's high viscosity makes the critical shear rate relatively low, so high-speed filling triggers it more easily.
Lösung
①Use multi-stage injection — decelerate in the gate area and accelerate in the filling area; ②Enlarge the gate to reduce the shear rate; ③Appropriately raise the melt temperature to lower the viscosity; ④Switch to a lower-viscosity grade if necessary.
Wichtigste Erkenntnis
The core of PEEK melt fracture treatment is local shear rate control; multi-stage injection is the standard means to balance filling and surface quality; gate size is the key design variable.
