POE product twist deformation
Problem Phenomenon
POE product twists 2-3°/100mm along the axis
Cause Analysis
Asymmetric cooling causes shrinkage difference of each face, producing twisting moment; gate position produces asymmetric flow orientation
Solution
1) Symmetric cooling design to ensure uniformity of each face; 2) Gates symmetrically arranged; 3) Annealing to release twisting stress
Key Takeaway
Twist deformation is caused by asymmetric cooling; symmetric cooling is key
