Injection-moulded components are very close to their final (or near-net) shape; hence, it is an appropriate production method to produce metallic parts, such as titanium alloys, that cannot be easily machined.

A mould cavity is essentially a negative of the part being produced. The cavity is filled with plastic, and the plastic changes phase to a solid, resulting in a positive. ... Typically injection pressures range from 5000 to 20,000 psi. Because of the high pressures involved, the mould must be clamped shut during injection and cooling. Clamping forces are measured in tons. 4, record 8, English, - plastic%20injection%20molding

In a modern injection molding machine, the pellets are conveyed forward within the barrel by a rotating screw, and melt as they go. The molten plastic is deposited at the forward end of the barrel, displacing the screw backward. When enough material has been plasticized, a hydraulic cylinder pushes the screw forward, forcing the molten plastic ahead of it through a nozzle, sprue, runners, and a narrow gate into a water-cooled mold cavity, where the molten plastic solidifies. 2, record 10, English, - injection%20machine
