Difficult Demolding and Mold Sticking of PEEK
Fenómeno do problema
PEEK products adhere to the cavity or core during ejection, with large demolding force; the product surface is scratched, whitened by ejection, or even cracked by ejection, especially obvious for deep-cavity thin-wall parts.
Análise das causas
PEEK has high melt temperature and high mold temperature, so the product has long thermal contact time with the mold; insufficient draft angle, poor cavity polishing, and over-packing all increase demolding resistance; crystallization shrinkage clamps the core tightly.
Solução
①Ensure sufficient draft angle and raise the cavity polishing grade; ②Reduce holding pressure and holding time to alleviate over-packing; ③Adjust the front and rear mold temperatures so the product stays on the ejection side; ④Increase the ejection area to distribute the force.
Conclusão principal
PEEK demolding is a friction and clamping force problem under high-temperature working conditions; investment in draft angle and polishing at the mold design stage has the highest return; over-packing is the most common inducement on the process side.
