Failure analysis of automotive battery parts

In the injection molding process defective pieces are sometimes detected, showing weak points which break easily. In this work, the possible causes of these failure points are evaluated. Thermal analysis techniques were applied to the material to better understand the degradation that takes place with relation to the transformation process. Simulations were made to determine the possible causes of deterioration and at the same time reproduce the effects of this fragility. The creation of the weak points was simulated and their origins were determined.
