Investigations of the Elongational Deformation Induced by Pins in Pin-Barrel Cold-Feed Extruders by Zhilin Wang, Yiren Pan, Yanchang Liu, Jing Huang, Ning Wang, Xuehua Hu

“…The numerical analysis of the key factors affecting the elongational deformation shows that the elongational deformation will gradually increase with the increase of screw diameter. For the screw of the same specification, the increasing helical angle will reduce the elongational deformation, and the increasing rotational speed will linearly increase the elongational deformation in unit time. …”
