What Is Environmental Stress Cracking and How To Prevent It
Environmental stress cracking (ESC) is one of the most common causes of plastic part failure. This short webinar provides an overview of ESC in plastic materials. It is intended for designers, manufacturing engineers, and quality managers who wish to better understand the mechanisms of environmental stress cracking so that they can take steps to avoid it in their plastic products.
Webinar topics include:
- Causes of ESC failures
- The effects of temperature and mechanical stresses on crack formation
- Testing plastic parts for ESC resistance
- Design tips for avoiding environmental stress cracking
