6. The soft and semi solid plastic is injected into mould by _________
a) Orifice
b) Nozzle
c) Hinge
d) Plunger
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Plunger is used to inject the soft and semi solid plastic to work at high pressure due to the high friction at nozzle.

7. Very delicate and intricate shapes can be produced in transfer moulding due to ___________
a) Plasticized mix flows very fast into mould
b) Plasticized mix flows very slow into the mould
c) High pressure
d) Minimum temperature
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Very delicate and intricate shapes can be produced in transfer moulding due to plasticized mix flows very slow into the mould. The mould is heating up to the curing temperature and allowed to set.
