Parameters

Role

1

Extrusion Temperature

Affects material flow, viscosity, and overall process stability. Higher temperatures can reduce viscosity, impacting material flow [23] .

2

Feed Rate

Influences the quantity of material processed per unit time. Higher rates can impact material homogeneity and quality [24] .

3

Screw Speed

Alters the shear and mixing properties within the extruder. Higher speeds may affect material characteristics and mixing efficiency [25] .

4

L/D Ratio

The ratio of the length to diameter of the extrusion screw. Affects residence time, shear, and pressure on the material [26] .

5

Dimensional Accuracy

Reflects the precision in producing components. Influenced by process parameters and material flow consistency [27] .

6

Tensile Strength

Represents material strength under tension. Affected by process conditions influencing material properties [28] .

7

Elongation

Indicates material ductility or flexibility. Process parameters can influence material properties affecting elongation [29] .

8

Defects

Refers to flaws in the extruded product. Influenced by various parameters affecting material flow and processing conditions [30] .
