Abstract
Methods of calculating geometric parameters of the twin-screw extruder triangle head (the "dovetail" type) for sheets made of GUR450 type of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) are suggested. Stress and stiffness calculations of the moulding instrument parts are made. Numerical methods alongside with the finite-element method (FEM) as well as analytical approaches to the determination of stress and deflection in sheets were used. The obtained stress and deflection parameters were studied analytically and with the use of the finite-element method. It was found that maximum stress and deflection parameters in the most critical sheet parts of the die have a close agreement: as for the stress - no more than 12 %, as for the displacement - no more than 4.5 %, that proves the adequate choice of the design model and analytical calculation methods. These methods can be used to calculate geometric parameters of the moulding instrument triangle heads for factory-made sheets of the size 2000*380*12 mm with the help of turn-screw extruders.

Introduction
Nowadays the consumption level of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in the domestic industry is about 7000 thousand tons a year. Practically everything is imported: raw material (UHMWPE powder of different types) and products (sheets, posts, wool fiber, textiles). The quantity of UHMWPE powder processed into products by native producers is 15-20 % of the consumption level. This testifies to the strong dependence of many Russian plants on foreign suppliers, mostly the USA and Germany. That is why the development of domestic plants processing UHMWPE is an actual task today. The development of domestic production of UHMWPE powder (Kazanorgsintez, Sibur-TomskNeftehim) also requires to create our own advanced processing base for UHMWPE.
The three main methods applied in the world to get UHMWPE products are: hot pressing, cold pressing with subsequent sintering and ram extrusion. These methods are used to process up to 90 % of UHMWPE. Melt spinning is used to get fiber.
Injection molding is used in some cases together with special machines, designed by firms-processors. So, in extruders made by companies «Braas» and «Dayco» the piston oscillatory motion at a high pressure of 200-300 Ma for the polymeric mass plastication is used. The company «DemagKunststofftechnik» uses a modified standard extruder D170 to process Hostalen GUR type of UHMWPE, where the screw construction is changed to provide the steadiness of the material motion in the cylinder, and the pressure storage device to accelerate injection is installed. Products with optimal properties are produced during the cycle which lasts from 2 to 6 minutes at the processing temperature from 200 to 230 °C and the injection pressure of about
100MPa. In multicavity compression moulds of this extruder the molding components are made, which weigh from 10 to 300 g (various slip elements, valve housing, fitments, bearings, rolls). In Japan the company «Mitsui» designed an extruder where emolliated rather than melted UHMWPE is used. The extruder works combining ram molding and transfer molding. The company manufactures driving wheels weighing 450 g for snowmobiles with the help of this extruder. The cycle time is 4 min.
The productivity of injection molding processes, taking into consideration the above mentioned characteristics of the cycle time and the weight of finished products, is 3-8 kg/hour. The productivity of hot pressing, sintering and ram extrusion processes is approximately at the same level, i.e. 3-10 kg/hour. The power consumption of the processes is about 10 kW/kg.
In this article the technical process of UHMWPE powder extrusion molding with the molecular weight of 9200 kg/mole on the base of the modernized twin-screw extruder is examined. The planned process productivity will be no less than 20 kg/hour with the power consumption of 2-3 kW/kg. Thus, the efficiency of the technical process is two times as much as the world analogs concerning productivity and 3-4 times concerning power consumption.
Despite the advantages of the screw extrusion method, the processing of UHMWPE with its help has not been applied industrially until recently due to the fact that it is necessary to use very strong mechanical loads to force shearing of high-viscosity melt of UHMWPE with a high coefficient of friction on the cut-point melt-solid body (the screw channel). Besides, in the classical variant of the screw extrusion it is impossible to avoid tearing up the melt continuity, the crystallized sample porosity growth and deterioration of mechanical properties.
In 2013 in Russia patents [1] for the technique and devices of molding long components by the screw
Fig. 1. General form of the molding instrument screw channel profile
extrusion of plasticated powder materials, including materials made of UHMWPE were registered (patent RU 2498900 C1, 20.11.2013, patent RU 2492965 C1, 20.09.2013, patent RU 2489253 C1, 10.08.2013). The technical result of these inventions is as follows: the increase in density, uniformity and mechanical properties of the extruded material owing to the creation of the combination of cyclic deformations of drawdown, shearing, spinning with different indices and cyclic deformations of the setting with different indices directed orthogonally to the drawdown axis in the extrusion process. The further work on the proposed technical solution in TSTU Research and Educational Centre - ISMPM «Solid phase technologies», Tambov State Technical University, allowed to decrease structure anisotropy in cross-sections of extruded stocks and eliminate material density drop in the stock. This method helped to obtain long stocks made of UHMWPE powder with a density of 0.93 g/cm3.
Experimental
These methods relate to the production of long sheets from plasticated mass powder by extrusion. The technical result was achieved when the invention [1] was used to enable researchers to mould plasticated powder material of long sheets which have a flawless and uniform structure. The technique of molding long sheets from plasticated powder material includes molding stock and its pressing through the deformation channel of a circular cross-section at the inlet and a rectangular cross-section at the outlet (Fig. 1). In this case in the first part of the deformation channel length the deformation ratio of the material in the central zone must be no less than 80 %, and in fringe regions - no more than 20 % of the total deformation ratio along the whole length of the deformation channel.
Shifting the material along the channel axis and decreasing the width and height of fringe regions in the second part of the deformation channel length, the bulk volume in these zones is decreased regarding the bulk volume of the central zone by sqeezing it out following the model of inverse molding into the central zone.
The device to implement the technique includes a moulding element with a profile screw channel, the entrance region of which is made in the form of a calibrating die. Fig. 1 illustrates the screw channel profile surface of the molding instrument.
The peculiarity of the profile surface geometry 1 (Fig. 1) of the molding instrument screw channel is to provide the molding of long sheets from plasticated powder materials. The stock pressed through deformation screw channel 1 has the shape of a rectangle with a high proportion of parameters in the horizontal and vertical planes of symmetry (YOZ, XOZ) at outlet 3.
The width of extruded sheets can be 0.5 m and more. Due to this fact it is quite important to fully satisfy the following requirements for the molding instrument screw channel configuration in the process of designing T-dies:
1) the flow friction equality along all the threads (movement contours of all included elementary melt portions in the channel (Fig. 1, position 4));
2) the minimal possible length of the channel and its surface to provide the minimal loading as a result of melt pressure on the molding instrument walls and consequently, the required toughness, resistance and minimal specific quantity of metal in the model. It is very important because the pressure in industrial moulding instruments can reach up to 135 MPa and the weight can be 800-1500 kg.
According to Fig. 1 the screw channel profile surface can be related to triangled instrumental moulding devices. Here extended entry zone I transfers into zone II levelling down flow friction with regard to the moulding channel width and then in the zone of moulding channel III.
That is why a triangle head concerning the channel is used as a design model for choosing parameters of the molding instrument profile (see Fig. 2). The channel is composed of transition channel A which has the length lo and the position O where the melt enters it, and molding channel B with the length L and the width W. As a rule the height transition channel H is 2.5-4 times greater than the height of molding channel H1. As values H1 and W are definitely associated with the molding sheet parameters, they are already known as well as value H at the initial stage of head projecting. It is possible to consider value L as known because it is connected with H1 by the formula L > (8-15)^1 taking into consideration the condition of flow stabilization in the molding channel and minimization of the extrudate expansion.
Thus, the task is to quantify lo or a [2] that is the same thing, as lo, a and W are related by the formula:
I,
cos a =■

( W
n -2
(1)
Fig. 2. Triangled T-die design model
and perhaps correct parameters L, H1, H in boundary values which are higher than approximate values, if needed. It is also preferable to find solutions for the lowest values of lo (or maximum a) and L, as the thrust force of the melt pressure in the channel, parameters and the specific quantity of metal in the head are the lowest in this case.
The first limit at the maximum value of a is the lack of stagnant conditions: amax < 45-60°.
However, this value, as a rule, is much greater than the maximum total factor a according to the condition that the flow is levelled down at the outlet of the molding channel.
Let us single out two elementary channels with the simple width along threads 1 and 2 (Fig. 2) on a provisional basis. Then, following the conditions of even flow rates qaB and qoB along the molding channel length, we will get the equation
U =
(2)
where qaB, qoB are specific flow rates at the outlet of reference channels.
Then writing the expressions for qaB and qoB, which include the required parameter lo (or a), adding them into the formula (2), equating the latter to the accepted value [U], we can derive the formula for quantifying the required parameter.
Reference channels represent a flat slot and the equation of the flow rate through it has the following form:
1 m (3)
= kH"+2
k =
2n+1 n-
where Ap is a pressure drop along the channel length l; m and n are rheological constants of polymeric materials. For the non-Newtonian liquid:

Ap = 2 (n + 2)

where Q is the rate of injection volume flow rate, productivity).

Each of the reference channels has two parts (A and B) with different heights H and H1, that is why the equation (3) can be written only for one of these parts, e.g. part B:

(4)
where pf0 and pfa are pressure values of each of these channels at part B inlet, besides these pressure values are not the same due to the fact that the channel lengths on part A are different, and the inlet pressure p is the same.
Values pf0 and pfa can be quantified by the equation (4) for part A:
qo a = kH

Solving the equations (5), concerning pf0 and pfa, and adding formulas derived from them in such a way into the equations (2, 4), taking into consideration clear equality qoA = qoB and qaA = qaB, we can write these equations in the following form:

This equation which was solved with (2), allows quantifying the value of the required parameter l0 (or a).
It should be noted that in practice real values of [U] are 0.92-0.98, then the value a according to (7) turns out to be much smaller than the accepted values following the lack of stagnant conditions.
This drawback is not so important for heads with small parameters, but it is unaccepted for large heads.
In accordance with the equation (5) there will be observed an uneven melt yield in triangle heads in zone A along the slot width at the junction of zones A and B due to different lengths of parts 1, 2, 3 (Fig. 2) when the slot thickness H is equal to its width W.
This follows from the equation (6), provided the flow-rate values are equated.

However, if there is the prescribed slot thickness H of the channel along the axis of symmetry 2 and geometric parameters of the head, it is possible to quantify such a value of the slot thickness of head edge 1 when the regular melt flow along the head width is provided. For this it is necessary to put l0/cos9 instead of l0/cosa into the equation (8), and then we get the slot thickness H1 (9) in the direction of arbitrary beams of melt flow 3, projected at the angle 9 with regard to the axis of symmetry.

It is possible to consider only one member of the series (m = 1) while calculating the sheet deflection parameters according to formula (10) due to the good convergence of the series; as for stress parameters (11) three members of the series are enough (m = 1, 2, 3).

Here is the example of the preliminary strength and stiffness calculation of the moulding instrument lower sheet.
The initial data: the material is instrument steel U8A, heat treatment is up to HRC 42-66; aB = 1050 MPa; oT = 900 MPa; E = 2,109-105 MPa; a = 12,8-10-6 1/deg.; v = 0,3; the reserve coefficient [n] = 1,3.
The sizes of the head molding rectangular part B are b x a = 50 x 195 mm; the maximum pressure is p = 135 MPa (including a solid head). The allowable stress of the model material is [a] = oT/[n] = 900/1,3 ~ ~ 700 MPa; the allowable deflection in the area of the rectangular slot is /] = 0,25 mm. The formulae (15), (16) will be used for calculations.

We consider the biggest value according to the sheet stiffness condition: h = 80.7 ~ 80 mm
It should be noted that calculations of the sheet thickness values made according to the formulae (14) of the plate theory give practically the same results as according to the beam theory (15), (16), but the last ones are much simpler.
Fig. 5 illustrates the plate deformation in the area of the slot with a dashed line.
Together with analytical methods concerning the determination of stress and deflection parameters in the sheet, numerical methods were used along with the finite-element method (FEM). The pattern of loading the half-mold with the operating head real profile is shown in Fig. 4.
Studying the results of obtained stress and displacement parameters analytically and with the use of the FEM it should be noted that the maximum stress and displacement parameters in the most critical parts of the sheet have a close agreement: as for the stress -no more than 12 %, as for the displacement - no more than 4.5 % that proves the adequate choice of the design model and analytical calculation methods.
Stress and displacement fields in the most typical cross-sections are shown in Fig. 6-11.
