DSTDP internal shrinkage void
Problem Phenomenon
DSTDP thick-wall product center shrinkage void diameter 0.5-2mm
Cause Analysis
After the thick-wall region cools, the interior shrinks but the surface has already solidified and cannot be fed; holding time insufficient, gate freezes too early
Solution
1) Extend holding time until the gate is completely frozen; 2) increase gate size to delay freezing; 3) product design to reduce wall thickness difference
Key Takeaway
Shrinkage void is caused by thick-wall shrinkage and insufficient holding; extending holding is key
