Insufficient EMA flatness
Problem Phenomenon
EMA flat product flatness >0.5mm/100mm with warpage
Cause Analysis
EMA shrinkage rate large and different in each direction; uneven mold cooling; residual stress release causing continuous warpage
Solution
1) Uniform mold temperature to reduce temperature difference; 2) Increase holding pressure to reduce shrinkage differences; 3) Annealing to release residual stress
Key Takeaway
Insufficient flatness is caused by shrinkage differences and stress; uniform cooling and annealing are key
