Powder molding.... The metal part is usually coated in a two component tank in which the powdered resin held in place by a porous plate is mixed with a highly-compressed gas which is forced through the porous metal plate. The gas-powder mixture, which resembles a fluid, adheres to any metal part, which, after being preheated above the melting point of the resin, is placed in the fluidized bed atmosphere.... The final fusing of the polymer takes place in an oven or in a bath of molten salt. 2, record 2, English, - powder%20moulding

Profile extrusion is similar to pipe extrusion except that the sizing mandrel is obviously not necessary. A die plate, in which an orifice of appropriate geometry has been cut, is placed on the face of the normal die assembly. The molten polymer is subjected to surface drag as it passes through the die, resulting in reduced flow through the thinner sections of the orifice. This effect is countered by altering the shape of the orifice, but often this results in a wide difference in the orifice shape from the desired extrusion profile. 2, record 4, English, - profile%20extrusion
