Advantages of automotive plastic parts injection moulding processing

Plastic parts have become an indispensable and important material in automobile manufacturing. From interior to exterior, from engine to chassis, plastic parts are used everywhere. In this, injection moulding processing is the main production process to achieve these plastic parts. So, what are the advantages of automotive plastic parts injection moulding processing?

1. Improve production efficiency Compared with the traditional casting, forging and other metal processing processes, injection moulding processing has a higher production efficiency. The injection moulding process can complete the production of multiple parts at once, greatly improving production efficiency. At the same time, the cycle of injection moulding is relatively short, which is conducive to shortening the entire automotive manufacturing cycle and accelerating the speed to market.

2. Reducing production costs The raw materials for injection moulding process are mainly thermoplastics, such as polyamide, polypropylene, polycarbonate and so on. The price of these plastic raw materials is relatively low, reducing production costs. In addition, the use of moulds in the injection moulding process can significantly reduce the waste of raw materials, further reducing costs.

3. Improve product quality Injection moulding processing can achieve high-precision, complex shape products production, which is conducive to improving product quality. Through the optimisation of mould design, adjustment of injection parameters and other methods, the dimensional accuracy of the moulded parts can reach the micron level, and the surface roughness can reach the mirror effect. In addition, injection moulding processing can achieve one-time moulding of multiple parts, avoiding the need for multiple assembly, welding and other problems in traditional processing methods, reducing the rate of product defects.

4. Help to achieve lightweight compared with metal materials, plastics have a lower density and higher specific strength, so in automotive manufacturing can achieve lightweight. Through the injection moulding process to produce lightweight, high-strength plastic parts, can effectively reduce the overall weight of the car, improve fuel economy, reduce emissions pollution.

5. Improve the flexibility of design injection moulding processing can achieve a variety of materials, colours, surface treatment and other diverse design requirements. By adjusting the type and proportion of plastic raw materials and other methods, it can achieve the production of plastic products with different properties and colours. In addition, injection moulding processing can also realize the design of composite structure with embedded metal skeleton and fibre reinforcement, which can further improve the comprehensive performance of the products.
