  • Tool of the Month: Understanding strength formation during injection molding helps prevent weldline problems

    Weldline strength plays a crucial role when designing new parts or evolving the design of failed parts. During the injection molding process, the part geometry and obstacles to the melt flow may cause the melt to separate and rejoin. Thus, a weldline will be formed, potentially impairing the final part’s mechanical properties. Our Weldline Strength Tool can help you prevent weldline problems.

  • Decreasing leakage and combustion risks of USB Type-C interfaces

    A unified charger interface can help reduce e-waste, simplify wireless charging standards, and bring convenience to consumers. Thus, the European Union and some other government regulatory agencies are increasing the use of USB Type-C. It stands out as a general-purpose interface with many advantages, but you may come across challenges depending on the material you utilize. Thankfully there is one tested material that offers a high interlayer bonding force, which can reduce failure risks.

  • Quickly predict moisture uptake to choose the best material for your application

    Polyamide materials are hygroscopic—these materials take up moisture from a relative humid atmosphere or water, and release water into a dry atmosphere. For proper application designs, engineers want to be able to predict moisture uptake for polymides and know how it affects material performance in specific applications. With our Moisture Diffusion Tool, you can calculate the absorption and diffusion of moisture in polyamide materials as a function of time, position and temperature, for both 'as molded' and 'fully annealed' samples.

  • Quickly calculate the chemical resistance of materials to reveal the effects of long-term exposure

    Exposure of engineering materials to chemical substances typically results in a risk of affecting the material properties negatively. For a proper application design, engineers want priori knowledge of tensile strength and elongation-at-break based on the exposure to a medium representative for the application. With our Chemical Resistance Tool, you can calculate a material’s chemical resistance and reveal the effects of long-term exposure.

  • Meeting power demands of USB-C connectors while reducing risk of electrical arcing

    Thermoplastics are materials used for charging cables and power adapters in early versions of USB connectors. The newest USB-C connectors have at least double the output of older charging cables and adapters. When designing new USB-C connectors, you need a material with a high CTI rating for tracking resistance and superior bonding strength, and properties that enable strong weld lines and thin walls, to minimize the risk of arcing.

  • Quickly compare materials’ strength & elongation at break after hot air exposure

    When selecting materials for applications exposed to continuous hot air, design engineers want to know how long a material’s strength and maximum elongation at break can be retained, upon exposure to hot air of 150°C or higher. With our Heat Aging Tool, you can quickly compare materials and see which one best retains strength and elongation at break.
