Porous metallic tooling may improve the productivity and quality of injection molded plastic parts

Traditional methods of dealing with the venting problem have had limited effect. Trapped gases still cause quality problems such as burning, produced by compressed gases that impede the flow of molten resin in a cavity pocket, and short shots, caused by low injection pressure and /or gases trapped in pocket areas of the tool.

New stainless for fasteners combines corrosion resistance, high hardness and cold formability

Hardenable stainless steel alloys are a common choice for manufacturers that cold form high strength stainless steel fasteners. These alloys, however, have limitations. While the hardenable stainless grades have the strength needed for intended applications, they have lacked either the formability or the corrosion resistance of the non-hardenable alloys.
