Dear All,
Can anyone help me out give the possibilities of screw crack in twin screw extruder machine for making PVC pipes.
Screw material : Nitrided Alloy 38CrMoALA
Make: Fangli - China
Thanks
Where is the crack? Dimensions if possible and applied torque in function. How many hours did it work ? Working temperature ?
The crack can be generated by a bad heat treatment with high residual stresses, by a wrong design with a high stress notch factor by a bad manufacturing which generated a notch factor where the designer provided a correct radius and so on.
As Lyn wrote PICTURES and more details about process.
