In-depth analysis of Core processes

Phase One: Requirements Analysis and Concurrent Engineering

This is the cornerstone of the project's success, precisely defining the characteristics of ABS.

Requirement input: Clearly define whether the part is an interior component (such as dashboard, door panel, emphasizing appearance, touch, and low odor), an exterior component (such as grille, rearview mirror housing, emphasizing weather resistance), or a functional component (such as bracket, emphasizing strength). The core requirements include dimensional accuracy, mechanical properties, heat and weather resistance (such as exposure to sunlight), flame retardancy (such as UL94), and VOC/ odor standards.

ABS Special Synchronous Project

DFM analysis: Focus on optimizing the uniformity of wall thickness of ABS parts (to prevent shrinkage), the draft Angle (to prevent scratches on high-gloss surfaces), the design of reinforcing ribs (thickness ≤ 60% of the main body wall thickness), and the planning of parting lines and gate positions.

Material grade selection: Automotive ABS is by no means a universal material. Please select according to your requirements: high impact resistance type, electroplating grade (including special adhesive layer), heat-resistant grade, low odor /VOC grade, etc. Suppliers must provide complete material certification (UL Yellow Card).

CAE mold flow analysis: Mandatory execution. Simulating the filling, pressure holding, cooling and warpage of ABS melt, accurately predicting the position of weld lines and cavitation risks, and providing a basis for optimizing the mold cooling system is the key to controlling deformation.

Phase Two: Mold Design and process Development

Molds and processes are the decisive links in the quality of ABS parts.

Mold design for ABS:

Hot runner system: Needle valve type hot runner is recommended to ensure balanced filling and reduce runner waste.

Temperature control system: Design an efficient conformal cooling waterway to ensure uniform mold temperature, which is crucial for achieving consistent appearance and dimensions.

Surface treatment: According to the appearance requirements, the cavity is subjected to mirror polishing (for high-gloss surfaces), etching (such as leather grain, wood grain) or fire pattern treatment.

ABS Special Process development

Material pretreatment: ABS must be strictly dehumidified and dried. It is usually dried at 80-85℃ for 3-4 hours; otherwise, the product will develop silver streaks and bubbles, and its mechanical properties will decline significantly.

Temperature control: A relatively high mold temperature (60-80℃) is adopted. High mold temperature is the key for ABS to achieve a high-gloss surface, reduce weld marks, and lower internal stress, thereby avoiding cracking during later spraying.

Injection and pressure holding: Medium to high-speed injection is adopted to ensure surface gloss. Through precise control of multi-stage pressure holding, shrinkage is eliminated, especially on the back of the tendons.

Phase Three: Mass production Control and Delivery

Ensure that every product meets the zero-defect requirements of the automotive industry.

SPC Statistical Process Control: Real-time monitoring and statistical analysis of key process parameters (such as injection time, peak pressure, material temperature) and critical product dimensions are carried out to achieve preventive quality control.

Full-chain traceability and delivery: Establish a complete traceability system from raw material batches, production time, equipment parameters to finished products. All appearance parts must undergo 100% full inspection and be packaged in scratch-resistant materials.

⚙️ ABS specific considerations in automotive applications

The influence and key points of features on the customization process

ABS, with its excellent adhesion to spraying and electroplating, is the preferred base material for automotive sprayed and electroplated parts (such as bright strips and signs). Special grades should be used and the dimensional changes caused by the coating thickness should be taken into account in the early design.

With excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, it is more rigid and hard than PP and has a lower cost than PC. It is an ideal choice for "appearation-structure" integrated parts such as instrument panels and grilles.

The demand for weather resistance improvement: Ordinary ABS is prone to yellowing and aging outdoors. When used for exterior decoration, it is necessary to select UV-resistant modified grades or solve the problem by adding UV stabilizers or surface coatings.

The heat distortion temperature of heat-resistant ABS is approximately 90-100℃. When used in high-temperature areas such as the periphery of the engine compartment, heat-resistant ABS or materials like PPA and PA should be selected.

✅ Key points of supplier evaluation (for ABS automotive parts)

When looking for qualified suppliers, it is recommended to focus on examining:

Material cognition: Can you clearly explain the differences and application scenarios of different ABS grades (such as high impact resistance, electroplating grade)? Are there any well-known raw material suppliers with stable cooperation (such as Chi Mei and LG)?

Process expertise: Does the workshop strictly implement the ABS drying process? Is high mold temperature production generally adopted to obtain high-quality surfaces?

Quality system: Has it passed the IATF 16949 certification? Are there any testing devices such as three-coordinate measuring machines, color difference meters, and gloss meters available? Is there any testing capability for the adhesion of spraying/electroplating and VOC?

Industry Experience: Are there any successful mass production cases of providing ABS interior/exterior parts for mainstream Oems or first-tier suppliers? It would be best to provide physical objects for texture assessment.

�� summary and action suggestions

The core of successfully customizing ABS automotive parts lies in "thoroughly understanding materials, precise design, and meticulous control". Suggestion

Investment front-end analysis: Do not skimp on DFM and CAE mold flow analysis. This is the most cost-effective investment to avoid repeated mold modifications, control deformation, and ensure appearance.

Clarify priorities: At the early stage of the project, confirm with the supplier whether the part prioritizes appearance (such as high-gloss trim strips) or functionality (such as structural brackets) to concentrate resources.

Making prototype samples: Before mold opening, functional prototypes are made through high-precision CNC or 3D printing to verify assembly, feel and design
