Industrial manufacturing

shrinkage

Manufacturing; Industrial manufacturing

When a part is formed from molten material, the part will shrink as the material cools and solidifies. As a result, a shrinkage allowance is usually added to the size of the part.

bend allowance

Manufacturing; Industrial manufacturing

The length of the neutral axis between the bend lines, or in other words, the arc length of the bend. The bend allowance added to the flange lengths is equal to the total flat length.

melt loss

Manufacturing; Industrial manufacturing

The percentage of material that becomes unusable, and hence lost, during the melting process. Melt loss is typically a result of oxidation during the melting and holding of the material.

density

Manufacturing; Industrial manufacturing

The ratio of a material's mass to its volume at a given temperature and pressure, typically measured in kg/m^3, g/cm^3, or lb/in^3. Water is 1.0 g/cm³ at 25°C and 1 atmosphere of pressure.

linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)

Manufacturing; Industrial manufacturing

A plastic predominantly used for film applications because of its toughness, flexibility and relative transparency. Typical products include grocery bags, garbage bags and landfill liners.

clamp stroke

Manufacturing; Industrial manufacturing

The distance that the rear mold half must travel in order to be securely clamped to the front mold half. The clamp stroke must be large enough to allow the part to be ejected from the mold.

mold temperature

Manufacturing; Industrial manufacturing

The temperature of the interior mold surfaces before the molten material is injected. Usually, cooling lines inside the mold keep this temperature low and aid in cooling the molten material.
