1. What controls product dimensions?

The extruder: surging, power input variations, slippage on the screw, poor feeding The puller: slip-page, improper compression on the part, or power output variations Tc quay ca trc vt (tc n) v tc ca puller. With a fixed die opening and given throughput rate, there is only one puller speed that produces the correct product dimensions. Con-sequently, the puller speed must be matched to the extruder output rate. If periodic variations occur in the puller speed or extruder output (due to surg-ing), the product dimensions continu-ously change. Ngoi ra cn c: p lc, nhit ca qu trnh n Tc lm lnh

2. What part of the extrusion process contributes to final part warpage? Solidification and cooling 3. Name three factors that might lead to part warpage. Temperature Pressure Materials controls the extruder feed rate in each method? Flood feed resins or preblended materials are placed directly in a hopper over the feed throat Speed screw, higher screw speeds give higher throughput Starve Feeders deposit the formulation directly onto the extruder screw Speed set to deposited on the screw (speed rate in deposited) Crammer A screw mechanism inside the crammer positively conveys material to the extruder Speed a screw in the hopper Melt feed use melt fed from another extruder, a Banbury, roll mill, or Farrel Continuous Mixer (FCM) Speed rate another extruder such as FCM

4. What are the different methods of feeding polymer to a single screw extruder, and what

5. In the extrusion process, which steps affect physical properties and how? Raw Material Blending, Shaping and Drawing, and Mixing 6. What materials need to be dried prior to extrusion? Polymer or blend stored in a cold warehouse and brought into a warm environment, causing moisture to condense on the surface of the pellets, flake, or powder. Resins, e.g., nylon, poly-ester (polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate), and polycarbonate, are very hygro-scopic, absorbing moisture rapidly from the air.
7. What are some methods of blending polymers? What are the best methods to use for

blending powder and pellets, pellets and pellets, powder and powder? 8. What is a masterbatch? 9. What is die swell? 10. At what step in the extrusion process is the product worth the most money?
