Technology

Which consequence results when a hydraulic actuator's check valve fails open in a high-speed injection molding machine?

A)Polymer cavitation erodes valve seats
B)Injection pressure spikes uncontrollably occur
C)Melt temperature homogeneity decreases poorly
D)Plastic part shear strength degrades rapidly

💡 Explanation

The check valve failure causes localized pressure drop because regions reach vapor pressure, enabling intense cavitation. This cavitation erodes the valve seats, rather than incorrect pressure because other pressure relief mechanism should kick in.
