    The document discusses troubleshooting issues related to jetting during injection molding. Jetting occurs when there is a streak of melt on the part surface near the sprue or in narrow sections, caused by unsuitable gate design that prevents laminar flow, a gate with no opposing wall, a small gate or narrow section cross section, or an injection speed that is too high. To remedy jetting, the document recommends redesigning the gate, positioning the gate opposite a wall, enlarging the gate or narrow section cross section, redesigning changes in cross section, and slowly injecting material at first before switching to a faster speed.

    Description
    Generally serpentine strand of the melt first injected into the mould, found near the sprue or at constricted sections, and visible on the part surface

    Possible Causes 1. Unsuitable design of gate or narrow sections preventing laminar flow. Gate position with no opposing wall. Gate cross section or narrow section too small 2. Injection speed too high

    Remedial Actions Redesign gate. Position gate opposite a wall. Enlarge gate cross section. Redesign changes in cross section Inject material slowly at first, then switch to a faster speed

    Notes
    Occurs more frequently with amorphous products because of their higher viscosity and lower elongation
