Thin flash and thick gates are different problems
Thin flash has a high surface-area-to-volume ratio and often embrittles faster than the part. Thick gates and reinforced connections may remain tougher and require another process or pre-treatment.
Judge feasibility from the root geometry
Root thickness, parting-line position and acceptable residual height determine difficulty. Sample tests should inspect residue, surface, dimensions and downstream assembly effects.
- Mark flash and gate locations
- Measure root thickness
- Define residual and surface acceptance criteria
