Explain how both undercuring and overcuring can cause part cracking on removal from the compression molding process

What will be an ideal response?


Overcuring can result in brittle parts that crack when the ejection system pushes the part out of the mold. Overcured parts may also stick to the mold. Undercuring can produce cracked parts because the strength of the part is lower than desired and may not be sufficient to withstand the pressures of ejection.
