Plastic Extrusion Process Principles

Extrusion Process Principles Extrusion process is very common in the plastic industry. It is used for high volume plastic production. In extrusion process the color pigments along with other performance enhancing additives are combined with resin which is then pushed through the rotating screws. The heat and pressure generated within the barrels of screw is dispersed and melts the plastic

A Complete Guide to Steps Involved in Casting Process

We know that casting is the process of pouring molten metal in a desired shaped cavity and allowing it to solidify. After the solidification we get the desired shaped object. Please read : Comparison of different casting processes. What is casting ? Main application of castings Basic Steps of Sand casting Basic Operation of the casting process First we have to make a pattern Then the

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) Principles

EDM is a non-conventional machining technique uniquely used for cutting metals which are not possible to cut with traditional methods. EDM only works with materials which are electrically conductive. Delicate cavities and intricate contours which are difficult to produce with a grinder or other machines can be done with Electrical Discharge Machining or EDM. The cutting tool for EDM may be made

Electrochemical Machining (ECM) Principles

Electrochemical Machining (ECM) is based upon Faraday's law of electrolysis. Faraday's law states that the the mass of a metal altered by the electrode is proportional to the quantity of electrical charges transferred to that electrode. In ECM the removal of metal is controlled by the anodic dissolution in the electrolyte. In ECM - The workpiece acts as the anode The tool act as cathode.

Ultrasonic Machining (USM) Working Principles

In this process the material of the workpiece is removed by the repetitive impact actions of abrasive particles. The erosion takes place by the abrasive particles which are carried by a liquid medium in the from of a slurry . A shaped vibrating tool is used to produce the impact. The term shaped is used to explain that the process is capable enough to create 3D profiles in correspondence to the

Water Jet Machining (WJM) Advantages and Disadvantages

In Water jet Machining no abrasive is used. Water jet alone is used for cutting. In WJM, materials like concrete, asbestos, wood, rocks, coal, textiles and leather can be cut. The material is removed by means of erosion. These days hydraulic coal mining as well as tunneling, descaling and cleaning is also done by this process. Water Jet Machining (WJM) Principles As

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF WELDING

Like all joining processes (in fact, like all processes!), welding offers several advantages but has some disadvantages as well. The most significant advantage of welding is undoubtedly that it provides exceptional structural integrity, producing joints with very high efficiencies. The strength of joints that are welded continuously (i.e.,full length, without intentional skipped areas) can easily

Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM) Process Advantages and Disadvantages

Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM) Principles In abrasive jet machining process, a focused steam of abrasive particles (of size 10 to 40 microns) carried by high pressure gas or air at a velocity of about 150 to 300 m/sec is made to impinge on the work surface through a nozzle, and the work material is removed by erosion by the high velocity abrasive particles. The inside diameter (ID) of the
