Gears and Bearings: It is used in gears, bearings and other wear-resistant components that require high mechanical strength and dimensional stability.
Compressor Vanes: It is used in compressor blades because it provides high strength and durability in demanding industrial applications.
Wear Strips ...

Cost: It can be more expensive than other general-purpose plastics like polystyrene, which can increase the overall manufacturing cost for some applications and potentially make it less competitive in cost-sensitive markets.
Environmental concerns: It is less recyclable than other plastics, which ...

Oxidation is a general chemical process that can occur independently of corrosion. Although it can cause corrosion of metals, oxidation is not always harmful and can be beneficial, as in the formation of protective oxide layers on metals such as aluminum.

Chemical reaction Oxidation process ...

Return mechanism
When the process is complete and the part is ejected, the return mechanism ensures that the lifting rod returns to its initial position to prepare for the next cycle. This requires components such as springs, mechanical links or hydraulic systems.

Ejector pins
If integrated into ...

Increased cycle time
A sudden increase or change in cycle time indicates mold problems. This could be due to cooling system inefficiency, material flow difficulties, or mechanical wear of parts. Long cycle times have negative consequences that can affect operating costs and productivity levels. The ...

Spherical roller bearings
iii) Tapered roller bearings:
Tapered roller bearings are the undisputed champions of load support, effortlessly handling radial and axial forces. They ensure smooth rotation, especially in tight corners. The rollers are placed between two raceways that are sections of a ...

7. 3D printing
While not technically a form of injection molding, 3D printing is commonly used to create prototypes and test the design before it is injected. The 3D printing technique also allows for the actual injection molds to be printed in metal or plastic. For some medical devices, metal is ...

Role of torsional stiffness in mechanical engineering
Torsional stiffness is useful in mechanical engineering in different areas of machinery, such as shafts, gears, and couplings. It ensures that shafts deform only slightly under the effect of the twisting moment to allow the equipment to function ...
