Thin-Wall Brittle Cracking

Cracks or fractures appear in thin-wall areas. When this defect appears in parts of Process No. 1, it is usually related to specific process parameter ranges or equipment conditions. If it persists, it will directly affect the part qualification rate and production cycle, increasing material loss and rework costs. Timely diagnosis and elimination is a basic requirement for ensuring stable production.

1. Comprehensive factors: low melt temperature and poor fluidity, insufficient holding pressure, wall thickness too thin, weld lines located in thin walls. 2. Mold comprehensive factors: in addition to venting, mold design parameters such as cooling water channel layout, gate position and size, and demolding draft angle all have a systematic impact on part quality, and optimization is required from the source of mold design.

1. Process parameter optimization and adjustment: increase melt temperature and mold temperature, increase holding pressure, optimize wall thickness design, avoid weld lines being located in thin walls. 2. Systematic troubleshooting method: troubleshoot item by item in the order of "parameters -> material -> mold -> equipment". First adjust the parameters that are easiest to change, such as injection pressure and temperature, and observe the effect; if there is no improvement, check the drying and fluidity of the raw material; further check mold venting and gate design; finally check the mechanical condition of the equipment (check ring, screw). Change only one variable at a time to determine the root cause. 3. Preventive management: establish standardized process parameter cards and quality control limits for each mold/product, and regularly conduct process capability index (CPK) evaluation. For recurring problems, use fishbone diagram or 5Why analysis to trace the root cause, and fix the countermeasures as PFMEA control points.

This problem is a typical manifestation of thin-wall brittle cracking in '2079851475616104452; the core of the solution lies in eliminating the root cause of the defect through systematic optimization of process parameters (temperature, pressure, speed) and rationality checks of mold design. It is recommended to start with process parameter adjustment and gradually go deeper into the equipment and mold levels.
