    Extrusion is the most common method for processing thermoplastics. Granules of polymer are fed into an extruder containing a screw that melts and homogenizes the polymer as it moves through the barrel. The molten polymer exits through a die that shapes the final product. There are two types of extrusion: hot extrusion at high temperatures and pressures, and cold extrusion at room temperature or slightly elevated temperatures. Slip casting is a common method for mass producing pottery. Liquid clay is poured into a plaster mold, which absorbs water and allows clay layers to build on the mold walls. The dried product is called greenware and can be decorated or glazed before firing. Open mold

    Method for processing of Polymer: Extrusion


    Extrusion is the most common and most important processing method for
    thermoplastics. Granules of polymer are fed into the hopper. The screw turns and
    drags the polymer along the extruder. Heat from friction with barrel walls, and also
    external heat source. The polymer granules are melted and compacted, and the
    screw movement also mixes and homogenises the melt. The molten polymer leaves
    the extruder through a shaped die which defines the geometry of the products.
    Ex:

    There are two types of extrusion:


    Hot Extrusion:

    Generally done at fairly high temperatures, approximately at 50 to 75 % of the


    melting point of the metal. The pressures range from 35-700 MPa (5076 - 101,525
    psi). To cool down the high temperatures and pressures and its adverse effect on
    the die life as well as other components, good lubrication is a must. Oil graphite
    and glass powder is preferred as lubricants.
    Cold Extrusion:

    Cold extrusion takes place at room temperature or slightly elevated temperatures.


    This process is useful for withstanding the stresses created by extrusion.

    Method for processing of Ceramic: Slip Casting
    Slip casting is a method for the mass-production of pottery. Slip or liquid clay is
    poured into a plaster mold, plaster absorbs water so as it reduces, layers of clay
    build up against the inside walls of the mold. When most of the liquid has been
    absorbed what remains is poured off. It is left to dry and when drying it shrinks, so
    that when opened it is easy to remove. Where the parts of the mold join an uneven
    surface will have been left which will have to be trimmed. The product is left to
    dry and when dry it becomes what is known as green ware. It can then be
    decorated with a transparent glaze or colored slips, the two can be fired together or
    it can be fired and then decorated and fired again.

    Method for processing of composite: Open Molding


    In open molding, raw materials (resins and fiber reinforcements) are exposed to air
    as they cure or harden. Open molding utilizes different processes, including hand
    lay-up, spray-up, casting, and filament winding.
    Hand lay-up is the most common and least expensive open-molding method
    because it requires the least amount of equipment. Fiber reinforcements are placed
    by hand in a mold and resin is applied with a brush or roller. This process is used
    to make both large and small items, including boats, storage tanks, tubs and
    showers.

    Ex:

    Spray-up is similar to hand lay-up but uses special equipment—most notably a
    chopper gun—to cut reinforcement material into short fibers, add them to resin and
    deposit the mixture (called chop) on to a molding surface. Spray-up is more
    automated than hand lay-up and is typically used to produce large quantities.

    Ex:

    Filament winding is an automated process that applies resin-saturated, continuous
    strands of fiber reinforcements over a rotating cylindrical mold. It’s used for
    creating hollow products like rocket motor casings, pipes, stacks, and chemical
    storage tanks. Filament winding is less labor-intense than other open-molding
    processes.
