In this study, the assembly behavior for two injected components made by a family mold system were investigated. Specifically, a feasible method was proposed to evaluate the characteristic length of two components within a family mold system using numerical simulation and experimental validation. Results show that as the packing pressure increases, the product index (characteristic length) becomes worse. This tendency was consistent for both the simulation prediction and experimental observation. However, for the same operation condition setting through a basic test, there were some differences in the product index between the simulation prediction and experimental observation. Specifically, the product index difference of the experimental observation was 1.65 times over that of the simulation prediction. To realize that difference between simulation and experiment, a driving force index (DFI) based on the injection pressure history curve was proposed. Through the DFI investigation, the internal driving force of the experimental system was shown to be 1.59 times over that of the simulation. The DFI was further used as the basis for machine calibration. Furthermore, after finishing machine calibration, the integrated CAE and DOE (called CAE-DOE) strategy can optimize the ease of assembly up to 20%. The result was validated by experimental observation.

To reveal the spindle radial error motion characteristics in condition of bearing outer ring tilting assembly, mathematical method on spindle radial error motion were analyzed. Then, in real operation condition the natural frequency of the test rig was investigated. Experimental system and methods were designed to test axial thermal displacement, radial error motion and modal characteristic of spindle in condition of bearing outer ring tilting assembly. Results show that axial thermal extension and radial vertical rising of spindle front-end occurs during thermal displacement test. With the same outer spacer nonparallelism, the synchronous error motion and total error motion generally increase with spindle rotation speed, and reach a peak at certain rotation speed.

Twinned WC grains are sometimes observed in WC powder and sintered WC-Co alloys. The present investigation has studied the formation of twinned WC grains during carburization of an Eta phase. Eta grains were carburized at 700-1450°C for 1 min to 9 h. Twinned WC grains formed during the carburization. Crystallographic characterization of the formed twins were made using SEM and TEM. The formation of twins was found to be affected by the carbon activity during carburization. The twins formed under high carbon activities while no twins formed under low carbon activities. Two kinds of twins with different orientations were observed. The present experimental observation suggests that the twins formed via 2-dimensional nucleation and layer-bylayer growth on small WC clusters under high supersaturation and high driving force for the growth of WC grains.

The experimental system of hybrid actuators five-bar mechanism is established based PID control method. The experiment investigates the influence of mechanism’s input parameters on the output kinematics parameters. The results show that the mechanism’s output kinematics parameters depend on input parameters. The original angle of input bar is bigger, curves of kinematics parameters of output bar change more acutely. Applying PID control algorithm to control the hybrid actuators linkage, the real kinematics parameters of linkage are almost consistent with theory values and the error is less.

Plastic Injection

In the present era, competition gets tougher; there is more pressure on manufacturing sectors to improve quality and customer satisfaction while decreasing cost and increasing productivity. These can be achieved by using modern quality management systems and process improvement techniques to reduce the process variability and driven waste within manufacturing process using effective application of statistical tools. Taguchi technique is well known technique to solve industrial problems. This technique is fast and can pinpoint the chief causes and variations. Plastic injection molding is suitable for mass production articles since complex geometries can be obtained in a single production step. The difficulty in setting optimal process conditions may cause defects in parts, such as shrinkage and warpage. In this paper, optimal injection molding conditions for minimum shrinkage were determined by the Taguchi design of experiment (DOE) approach. Polypropylene (PP) was injected in circular shaped specimens under various processing parameters: melt temperature, injection pressure, packing pressure and packing time. S/N ratios were utilized for determining the optimal set of parameters. According to the results, 2400 C of melt temperature, 75 MPa of injection pressure, 50 MPa of packing pressure and 15 sec. of packing time gave minimum shrinkage of 0.951% for PP. Statically the most significant parameter was melt temperature for the PP. Injection pressure had the least effect on the shrinkage. The defect rate was reduced from 14% to 3%.

In order to further investigate the influence of mold temperature in rapid heat cycle molding on shrinkage of plastic past, a self-developed vehicle-used blue-tooth front shell high-gloss mold and an auxiliary device for controlling the mold temperature were employed in experiments. And the effect of the other parameters on shrinkage of part with fixed or changed mold temperature conditions was also studied. Results reveal that the shrinkage of RHCM part is reduced obviously compared with a conventional one, decreasing as quasi-linear with mold temperature increased gradually. At same mold temperature conditions, packing pressure, followed by packing time, is the most significant parameter on shrinkage of part, while cooling time has almost no impact on it. Melt temperature and injection pressure effecting on shrinkage of part exists a critical value, near the thermal deformation temperature of plastic. When mold temperature is set below this temperature, injection pressure has more significant than melt temperature, but it is the opposite. With being elevated gradually of mold temperature, shrinkage of part shows a slight decrease trend under same melt temperature and injecting pressure. While it fluctuates as a “V” shape with a narrow range under same packing pressure, packing time and cooling time presumed conditions, and reaches the minimum near the thermal deformation temperature of plastic.

The Relationship

In order to improve the application of nano-particles/polymer composite, we investigated the relationship between microstructures and electrical properties on injection molded composites made from carbon black(CB) particles mixed with polypropylene(PP). Standard tensile specimens were injected under different processing conditions, after which, the specimens were cut off along the surface to observe the microstructures at different positions of the moldings. The microstructures were observed with Scanning Electrical Microscope(SEM), and electrical properties were measured by using a two-terminal standard resistor under DC condition at room temperature. The results showed that CB nano-particles may form the best conductive path under the higher packing pressure combined higher injection pressure. If packing pressure is low, the resistivities at the skin zone loaded by high injection pressure are smaller than low injection pressure, but the resistivities increase at the sub-skin zone. We found that the sub-skin zone is a high resistivity district which would expand with higher injection pressure matched lower packing pressure. Contrast to the injection molded polymer whose microstructural orientation is stronger at the sub-skin zones, injection molded CB particles/polymer composites develop strong oriented microstructures at the core zones in stead of the skin or sub-skin zones due to CB particles’ migration.

Biodiesel Fuels

The complicated cavitating flow inside diesel nozzles has long been concentrated on. Based on the visualization experimental system, cavitating flow characteristic inside transparent nozzles with different length-diameter ratios was investigated in this paper. Experimental results showed that the cavitation is easier to occur for diesel than for biodiesel, and the longer the length of the orifice is, the harder the cavitation and hydraulic flip phenomenon to occur. Discharge coefficient of diesel was higher than that of biodiesel in single-phase flow region, while got much smaller than that of biodiesel in the cavitating flow and hydraulic flip regions.The spray cone angle of diesel was larger than biodiesel in cavitating flow regime, and got much smaller with the increasing of the length-diameter ratios under the same level of injection pressure in diesel and biodiesel fuels.
