Advantages

a. Better surface finish

b. Better dimensional tolerances.

c. Reduced Machining.

d. Less foundry space required.

e. Low labor costs.

f. Castings require little or no machining.

g. Can be completely automated for mass production.

h. High productivity.

i. Complex shapes can be made as there is no need to withdraw the pattern

j. Very fine details and thin sections can be obtained.

k. Since there is no parting line the dimensions across will not vary.

What are the steps of extrusion moulding?

The process of Injection Moulding Cycle has the following 4 stages:- 1. Clamping- The multiple parts of the mould are securely clamped. 2. Injection- The raw plastic material, usually in the form of pellets, is fed into the machine. During this process, the pellets are melted by heat and pressure. The molten plastic is then injected into the mould by injection unit very quickly and the build-up of pressure packs and holds the material. 3. Cooling- The molten plastic that is inside the mould begins to cool as soon as it makes contact with the interior mould surfaces. As the plastic cools, it will solidify into the shape of the desired part. However, during cooling some shrinkage of the part may occur. The packing of material in the injection stage allows additional material to flow into the mould and reduce the amount of visible shrinkage. The mould can not be opened until the required cooling time has elapsed. 4. Ejection- After sufficient time has passed, the cooled part may be ejected from the mould. When the mould is opened, a mechanism is used to push the part out of the mould. Force must be applied to eject the part because during cooling the part shrinks and adheres to the mould.
