47. Question 47. Explain About Injection Molding?
Answer :
In this process, the plastic material is injected in to the mold through
a sprue bush by means of a screw plunger. This process can be used
for both thermosetting and thermoplastic materials.
48. Question 48. What Is Compression Molding?
Answer :
In this process, the plastic material is placed in the cavity and use a
force for compressing the compound as the mold closes, these
molds are generally used for thermosetting materials.
49. Question 49. What Is Transfer Mold?
Answer :
In this process, the plastic materials is transferred from a transfer
pot and then forced in to the cavity by means of plunger. This
method is used for molding thermosetting materials only.
50. Question 50. Write A Short Note About Blow Molding ?
Answer :
Blow molding is very much like compression molding because the
blow mold generally closes on a hollow shape that has been
deposited in between the halves of the mold. Air or gas pressure is
introduced at the center. This internal pressure causes a flow of the
heated material in to intimate contact with the relatively cold mold
sections. Here the plastic material solidifies and is subsequently
ejected.
51. Question 51. Explain Vacuum Molding?
Answer :
The mold used for this process is similar that of the female half of
the compression or blow mold auxiliary equipment on the machine
heats the material and drags it over the cavity as indicated by the
precise technique chosen.
52. Question 52. Elaborate About Rotational Molding?
Answer :
The machine provides the means of holding the mold and rotating it
about two axis at the same time. This rotation causes the powdered
material that was loaded in to the mold before it was clamped in to
the machine to solidify and cling to the wall of the mold.
53. Question 53. What Is Impression ?
Answer :
Gap between core and cavity is called impression. Impression
provides the shape of the component.
54. Question 54. What Do You Meant Cavity?
Answer :
Female portion of the mold and it gives external form.
55. Question 55. What Is Core ?
Answer :
Male portion of the mold and it gives internal form.
56. Question 56. What Is Sprue Bush?
Answer :
Connecting member between register ring and runner.
57. Question 57. What Is Register Ring ?
Answer :
It is used to align the mold with machine platen.
58. Question 58. What Is Runner?
Answer :
Connecting member between gate and sprue bush.
