Zirconia Ferrule is a key part for manufacturing fiber connectors. The ceramic injection molding (CIM) process of the optical ferrule was simulated with the commercial CAE software moldflow. In order to obtain the optimum results, the orthogonal method was introduced to discuss the influence of each parameter such as die temperature, melt temperature, ram speed and gate dimension with the two kinds of distribution layout system respectively. The simulation results show that the curved distribution runner system is more suitable than the rectangular distribution one in the optical ferrule molding. Moreover, the effect of gravity on the ceramic injection molding process was discussed for determining a more reasonable balanced runner system of the special designed two-plate mold with six die cavities. It was found that short shot occurred at the top of the die cavity while other five cavities were filled well in the original designed mold. And when the top die cavity’s round runner with section diameter of 4.0mm was increased to 4.17 mm, each cavity was balanced filled without short shot.

Net Shaping

Abstract Near net shaping ceramic injection molding process of (MgCoNiZnCu)O high entropy oxides were conducted using commercial precursor oxide powders. Through ball milling, internal mixing, injection molding, solvent and thermal debinding as well as final sintering process, the ceramic products would be obtained with little machining. Compacts prepared are single rock-salt phase based on XRD and EDS Mapping results. Meanwhile, with the increasing of sintering temperature from 900 ℃ to 1050 ℃, particle diffusion rate and densification of samples becomes faster, which finally results relative density and fractured strength of sintered compacts reaching the highest (90.47 % and 77.98 MPa, respectively) in current work. The successfully synthesis of (MgCoNiZnCu)O through ceramic injection molding illustrates this near net shaping process could be a promising route for preparation of high entropy oxides.

Liquid jets are of interest, both for their industrial relevance and for scientific applications (more important, in particular for X-rays, after the advent of free-electron lasers that require liquid jets as sample carrier). Instability mechanisms have been described theoretically and by numerical simulation, but confirmed by few experimental techniques. In fact, these are mainly based on cameras, which is limited by the imaging resolution, and on light scattering, which is hindered by absorption, reflection, Mie scattering and multiple scattering due to complex air/liquid interfaces during jet break-up. In this communication it is demonstrated that synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) can give quantitative information on liquid jet dynamics at the nanoscale, by detecting time-dependent morphology and break-up length. Jets ejected from circular tubes of different diameters (100–450 µm) and speeds (0.7–21 m s−1) have been explored to cover the Rayleigh and first wind-induced regimes. Various solvents (water, ethanol, 2-propanol) and their mixtures have been examined. The determination of the liquid jet behaviour becomes essential, as it provides background data in subsequent studies of chemical and biological reactions using SAXS or X-ray diffraction based on synchrotron radiation and free-electron lasers.

Ceramic Injection Molding

In the illuminant industry, for producing arc tube parts for high intensity discharge lamps the applied method is the ceramic injection molding. The ceramic arc tube parts are made of high purity alumina powder. By producing ceramic parts, one of the most critical step is to optimizing the injection molding process, [1] but first of all we need to know the properties of injection molding raw material, because later the molding process will be optimized for this material, to decrease the amount of cracked ceramics.For producing ceramic arc tube parts (plugs), there are used two different major components for producing injection molding raw material (feedstock): high purity alumina powder as the main component, and an organic paraffin wax as a binder material. It is expressly important to know the material, physical and chemical properties of these components, since mainly these have affect on the homogenity of feedstock, and therefore on the quality of end product. [3]In this research, both of the main components and the moldable raw material was investigated by visual, physical, chemical and thermal methods. As most important and main statement, the researchers found that the dynamic viscosity of the injection molding raw material depends on the used mixer equipment and the applied deformation velocity.Applied analitycal methods were laser granulometry, differential thermal analysis, and rheological analysis.
