Mastering Weld Lines: Design and Processing Strategies for Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Plastics

Adding glass fibers significantly enhances the strength and stiffness of plastic parts. However, achieving these benefits can be challenging due to two critical factors: non-ideal fiber orientation and the presence of weld lines. Both can substantially reduce the expected mechanical property improvements.

This webinar will present real-world case studies demonstrating how adhering to proper processing methods and design guidelines can effectively mitigate the undesirable effects of weld lines in glass-fiber-reinforced parts.

By the end of this webinar, you'll have a clearer understanding of:

• Critical parameters for assessing weld line quality.
• How fiber length influences weld line performance.
• Utilizing injection molding simulation to optimize weld line performance.
