Injection molding is a common process to manufacture components that made of plastics, glasses, polymers and metals. Materials are melted and injected into a mold with certain pressure. A great mold can increase production capacity of a company. However, a small mistake can also lead to expensive costings of a manufacturer.

Burn marks can be identified as black or dark red discoloration when the plastic burns during the injection. It usually occurs at the last place in the mold cavities. The cause of burn marks is air inside the mold gets compressed by molded plastic and get burns. The black color is the carbon residue from the burned flowing plastic.

4. Delamination.
Delamination refers to the thin flaking surface that looks like coatings that can be peeled off. It appears on the part due to a contaminant material or insufficent layer bonding because of inhomogeneities and high shear stresses.
