In this section, we will focus on injection instabilities that arise during the cavity filling phase, which stem from the nature of the plastic melt. During fountain flow of the melt, orientation of macromolecular chains in the flow direction, shear stress on the melt, and the melt front compresses air in the mold cavity, leading to the formation of a cold weld line.
