As the temperature rises, movement comes into play - the party can soon begin.<br \/>\nThe plastic granules melt inside the heated injection moulding cylinder and become increasingly mobile due to the rotary movement of the screw, where they are mixed together to form a homogeneous mass. The result is a hot, almost lava-like melt that finally wants to be released onto the party. The initially viscous, hot plastic is forced through narrow channels into the mould cavity during injection moulding - the volcanic flow moves very quickly, but comes to a halt just as suddenly in the cold cavity. Once there, the rapidly cooling mass flow leans against the mould wall, rests there for a while and becomes increasingly stiff and sluggish. The party is over when he is thrown out.<\/p>\n<p>Rheology is therefore concerned with plastic compounds that become flowable under the influence of thermal energy. <a title=\"Thixotropy\" href=\"https:\/\/hamco-germany.com\/en\/technical-term\/thixotropy\/\">Thixotropy<\/a>\u00a0the simply explained terminology of the last newsletter, describes a change in the flowability of other masses, which are only due to the influence of movement.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-3879","fachbegriff","type-fachbegriff","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hamco-germany.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fachbegriff\/3879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hamco-germany.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fachbegriff"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hamco-germany.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fachbegriff"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hamco-germany.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
