Diseño, simulación y análisis del proceso de extrusión de un perfil termoplástico en PVC rígido para optimizar el diseño de la matriz y los parámetros

ABSTRACT The objective of the present work was to verify and optimize the die design to manufacture a thermoplastic profile in rigid PVC using the simulation of the flow in the mentioned matrix through the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and through tests in extrusion, using an experimental calibrator, the required geometry and dimensions were obtained. The material used was a rigid PVC compound which is difficult to process because of its intrinsic weakness, since it degrades to 140ºC. By means of a special capillary rheometer the rheological data k and n of the Power Law model wer...
