Extrusion
Compression process in which material is forced to
flow through a die orifice to provide long
continuous product whose cross-sectional shape
is determined by the shape of the orifice
• Widely used for thermoplastics and elastomers to
mass produce items such as tubing, pipes, hose,
structural shapes, sheet and film, continuous
filaments, and coated electrical wire
• Carried out as a continuous process; extrudate is
then cut into desired lengths

Extruder
Components and features of a (single-screw) extruder for plastics & elastomers
Extruder Screw
Viscoelasticity
Viscous and elastic (pseudoplastic) properties
• Possessed by both polymer solids and
polymer melts
• Example: die swell in extrusion, in which the
hot plastic expands when exiting the die
opening
Common extrusion die geometries: (a) coat-hanger die for extruding sheet; (b) round die for producing rods;
(c) dies for producing square cross-sections. Note the nonuniform recovery of the part after it exits the die.

Hollow Profiles
• Examples: tubes, pipes, hoses, and other
cross-sections containing holes
• Hollow profiles require mandrel to form the
shape
• Mandrel held in place using a spider
– Polymer melt flows around legs supporting the mandrel to
reunite into a monolithic tube wall
• Mandrel often includes an air channel through
which air is blown to maintain hollow form of
extrudate during hardening

Calendering
Feedstock is passed through a series of rolls to reduce
thickness to desired gage
• Expensive equipment, high production rates
• Process is noted for good surface finish and high gage
accuracy
• Typical materials: rubber or rubbery thermoplastics
such as plasticized PVC
• Products: PVC floor covering, shower curtains, vinyl Schematic illustration of
table cloths, pool liners, and inflatable boats and toys calendering. Sheets produced by
this process subsequently are
used in thermoforming. The
process also is used in the
production of various elastomer
and rubber products.

Thermoforming
• Thermoforming is a process for forming thermoplastic sheets or films over a mold through
the application of heat and pressure
• a sheet is heated in oven to the sag point above Tg (Glass Temperature).
• Sheet is then removed from the oven, placed over a mold, and forced against the mold
through the application of a vacuum.
• The mold is usually at RT, hence the shape of the plastic becomes set upon contact with the
mold.
• Parts with openings cannot be formed.
• Typical parts: advertising signs, tray cookies, refrigeration liners, packaging, and appliance
housings.
• Molds: Aluminum molds, then the tooling is inexpensive. The holes in molds are usually less
than 0.5mm, in order not to leave any marks on the formed parts.
Various thermoforming processes for a thermoplastic sheet. These processes commonly are used 30 in
making advertising signs, cookie and candy trays, panels for shower stall, and packaging.

Blow molding
• Extrusion blow molding:
1. a tube is first extruded or injection
moldod, [pairson]
2. Then clamped into a mold cavity
much larger than tube diameter.
3. Finally blown outward to fill the
mold cavity.
4. Blowing is usually done with an air
blast at a pressure of 350-700KPa.
5. The molds close around the tubing,
close off both ends (thereby
breaking the tube into sections), and
then move away as air is injected
into the tabular piece.
6. The part is then cooled and ejected.
• Typical parts: beverage bottles and
hollow containers.

Injection-Molding Machine
A 2.2-MN (250-ton) injection molding machine. The tonnage is the force applied to keep the dies
closed during the injection of molten plastic into the mold cavities and hold it there until the parts
are cool and stiff enough to be removed from the die.

Injection molding (IM)
• Complex shapes and good
dimensional accuracy.
• 3 basic types of molds:
1.cold runner 2-plate
mold: solidified plastic in
channels that connect
the mold cavity to end of
barrel must be trimmed.
2.cold-runner 3-plate:
runner system is
separated from part
when mold opens.
3.Hot-runner mold: more
expensive, no gates,
runners, or sprues
attached to molded part.
Molten plastic is kept hot
in a heated runner plate.
Shorter cycle times.

Compression Molding
• A widely used molding process for thermosetting plastics
• Also used for rubber tires and polymer matrix composite
parts
• Molding compound available in several forms: powders
or pellets, liquid, or preform
• Amount of charge must be precisely controlled to obtain
repeatable consistency in the molded product
M. Chalid @DTMM FTUI
Compression molding (CM)
• A pre-shaped charge of material, a
pre-measured volume of powder, or
a viscous mixture of liquid resin and
filler material is placed directly into a
heated mold cavity (200 C).
• Forming is done under pressure from
upper half of die (10-150MPa).
• CM is used mainly with
thermosetting plastics,
thermoplastics and elastomers are
also processed. linking is completed
in the heated die.
• Curing times: 0.5-5min.
• Typical parts: dishes, handles,
container caps, fittings.
• 3 types of compression molds:
1. Flash type: for shallow or flat
parts.
2. positive: for high density parts
3. Semi positive: for quality
production. Types of compression molding – a process similar to
forging: (a) positive, (b) semipositive, and (c) flash, which is
later trimmed off. (d) Die design for making a compression-
molded part with external undercuts.

Transfer Molding (TM)
• Uncured TS material is placed in a heated transfer pot or chamber.
• After material is heated, it’s injected into heated closed molds. Curing takes
place by crosslinking.
• Typical parts: electrical and electronic components, rubber and silicon
parts.
• TM Suitable for intricate shapes with varying wall thicknesses.
(b) plunger transfer molding: (1) charge is loaded into pot, (2) softened polymer is pressed into
mold cavity and cured, and (3) part is ejected.

Casting
• Simple, inexpensive but slow.
• Typical parts: gears, bearings, wheels, thick sheets.
• convention casting of TP: a mixture of monomer, catalyst, and various
additives is heated and poured into the mold. Part forms after
polymerization takes place at ambient pressure.
• centrifugal casting
• Potting and encapsulation: casting plastic material around electric
component [transformer]. Potting is done in a housing or case, which is
an integral part of product. In encapsulation, component is coated with
a layer of the solidified plastic.

and electrical assemblies, where the surrounding plastic serves as a dielectric.

process. Unlike aluminum ladders, they are available in different colors but are heavier because
of the presence of glass fibers.

plastic industry are :
– Painting
– Hot decorating (hot stamping, in-mold decorating,
heat transfer)
– Plating (electroless, electrolytic, vacuum metallizing)
– Printing
– Application of labels, decals, etc.
