Durable Automotive Solutions with Injection Molding Technology
Vehicle components are extremely important for the automotive industry. In particular, parts located under the hood must be able to adapt to different conditions. In this context, engine parts exposed to heat, vibration, chemical contact, and mechanical stress affect the vehicle’s performance and are also important in terms of driving safety. Injection molding technology offers long-lasting solutions for automotive manufacturers with the aim of increasing durability levels.
As Yelkenciler Machine, the injection blow molding machines we offer you are designed for the production of under-the-hood parts specific to the automotive industry.
Below, we will examine the advantages of injection blow molding technology and its contributions to the automotive industry. Enjoy reading.
Applications of Injection Molding Under the Hood
Automotive parts located under the hood consist of interconnected components with different functions. It is very valuable for the industry that these components are produced from lightweight and cost-effective materials. For this reason, plastic components produced with injection technology are replacing metal parts. The main applications of these components are as follows:
-
Protective panels
-
Engine cover
-
Air intake ducts
-
Filter housings
-
Cable channels
-
Connection fittings
-
Coolant
-
Oil reservoirs
-
Battery box covers
-
Electrical connection boxes
All of the above-mentioned parts must have high mechanical strength. This ensures thermal resistance under harsh conditions while providing chemical compatibility and meeting demanding performance criteria with dimensional stability.
Technical Advantages of Injection Molding Technology
Injection molding technology offers many advantages for the automotive industry. These include:
1. High Heat and Chemical Resistance
PA6, PBT, PPS, and PP+GF are engineering plastics that enable the formation of parts resistant to high temperatures. The underhood temperature can reach up to 130°C, and these plastics are resistant to both high temperatures and engine chemicals. With injection molding technology, it is possible to produce plastics with excellent high-temperature and chemical resistance.
2. Precise Geometry and Fine Detail Production
Thanks to servo motors operating at the micron level, the production of complex-designed products is quite easy. This enables the production of thin-walled products with low technical tolerances. This ensures the production of products with high sealing quality in motor parts.
3. High Production Speed and Automation Compatibility
Injection machines are compatible with robotic integration. This enables them to provide fully integrated services in automotive production lines. Additionally, their high production capacity makes them an ideal choice for OEM suppliers.
4. Material and Design Flexibility
The insert molding technique can be used with 2K systems to produce both metal and plastic—i.e., hybrid products. This makes it possible to produce both lightweight and durable parts.
Why Do Automotive Brands Prefer Injection Molding?
For automotive brands, injection technology represents weight advantages, fuel savings, fewer production errors, cost savings, and sustainable production.
