During the injection molding process, plastic material is subjected to large amounts of shear forces during the cavity filling stage from the cavity wall. This could lead to material degradation and other surface defects. In this webinar, we will understand why we care about shear flow and how it will impact the melt viscosity. What are the critical shear rate limits of various polymers and how it impacts the quality of parts. We will evaluate different results you can review within Moldex3D to minimize material degradation by optimizing part designing, tooling, and processing phases.
