Molding Defects and How to Fix Them: Understanding Mold Flash
Molding defects reduce the surface quality of rubber and plastic parts. The causes include problems with flow lines, sink marks, vacuum voids, and surface delamination. Molding defects are also caused by short shots, burn marks, jetting, and warping. Flash or flashing, the formation of excess plastic or rubber on the surface of molded parts, is […]
Cryogenic Deflashing for Molded Parts
Cryogenic deflashing for molded parts removes mold flash from hard-to-reach areas such as cross-holes, blind holes, and other difficult geometries. During the plastic or rubber molding process, flash or flashing can occur anywhere that metal meets metal – especially as mold tooling wears. Plastic and rubber molders can remove these surface defects through hand or […]
Cryogenic Deburring and Cryogenic Deflashing: The Five T’s
Cryogenic deburring and cryogenic deflashing are versatile processes that improve the surface quality of plastic or rubber parts that have been machined or molded. This article explains how Nitrofreeze optimizes these cryogenic processes.
Medical Device Surface Finishing: Cryogenic Deflashing and Deburring
The medical device industry sets high standards and tight tolerances on all manufactured products. One specification, and maybe the most important, is surface finish.
