The gate mark in injection molded part is a kind of surface defects. The formation of gate mark has been investigated in this study. SEM photographs and surface roughness have been examined to study gate mark. The specimens were molded for various injection conditions, such as injection temperature, mold temperature, and injection speed. Gate diameter and mold surface condition were also molding variables. Gate marks were reduced as injection speed and mold temperature increased. Gate diameter and injection temperature did not affect the gate marks. No etching of mold surface showed no gate marks for any molding conditions.
