Development of a Radian Friction Welding Machine Using the Circular Process with Limited Rotational Motion
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2013)
The processing-technological limitations of components which can not be continuously rotated, either due to their length or marginal protrusions, make the realization of several potential applications using rotation welding unthinkable. The difficulties that arise while generating a high quality weld and are caused by large component tolerances and component warping are known. In order to extend the potential of friction welding, it is necessary to develop a new welding technology. In cooperation with Fischer ...

Flexible Foams made of Liquid Silicone Rubber and expandable Microspheres
(2019-10-02)
In this study, the possibility of foaming liquid silicone rubber (LSR) was investigated. The foam was produced by injection molding with two different thermoplastic, expandable microspheres. Different properties were tested using the S2-tensile bar, e.g. density, tensile strength, specific tensile strength, elongation at break, stress at 100 % strain and the hardness. It was found that the two types of microspheres used have similar effects on density, specific tensile strength and elongation at break, but differ in ...

Hybrid composite materials made of polypropylene with wood and polyethylene terephthalate fibers
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2014)
We aim to manufacture injection molded components which consist of thermoplastics reinforced with fibers and which have improved properties (high strength and high notched impact strength). Thus, we intend to access new application fields for the not readily visible area of the automobile interior.

Characterizing the Rheological Behavior of Liquid Silicone Rubber Using a High Pressure Capillary Rheometer
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2016)
The injection molding process of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) imposes high demands on the injection molding machines and the tools due to the low viscosity of silicone rubber. There is very little data which describes the rheological behavior of LSR and its influencing factors across a range of shear rates.
In this study, the rheological behaviors of different types of LSR were characterized using a high pressure capillary rheometer with an apparent shear rate that ranged from 350 to 4000 1/s. In order to identify ...

Effects of the Cellular Morphology on Fatigue Deformation Mechanisms of Physically Foamed Polycarbonate
(2023)
In this study, the tension–tension fatigue behavior of foam injection molded thermoplastic microcellular Polycarbonate (PC) is characterized. The variation in morphology is obtained by modifying the mold temperature, injection volume, injection flow rate, and blowing agent content (physical and chemical) in the polymer melt. The relationship between the wide range of morphological qualities and relevant fatigue properties is made explicit via a statistical correlation coefficient analyses. The analysis is made between ...

Microstructural and Mechanical Properties of AISI 4140 Steel Processed by Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion Analyzed Using Miniature Samples
(ASTM International, 2022-02-26)
The present study reports on the identification of an adequate process window for electron beam powder bed fusion (E-PBF) of AISI 4140 steel. For characterization, only miniature samples were used. It is clearly revealed that, for comparison and evaluation of different conditions, the use of such small samples is absolutely sufficient, even under fatigue loading. The initial E-PBF as-built condition is compared with conventionally heat-treated conditions (i.e., normalized as well as quenched and tempered). Based on ...

Multicomponent Injection Molding Of Thermoplastics And Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) – Either Cured By Heat Or UV Light
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2016)
For processing thermally curing liquid silicone rubber (LSR) as well as UV light curing LSR for multicompo-nent injection molding with thermoplastics in an compa-rable way a processing center was designed and set into operation.
For the production of the multicomponent specimens a modular tool was designed. In there a thermoplastic plate gets molded on the one side, then gets transferred auto-matically by a robot system and gets overmolded by the silicone on the other side. The complete silicone side of the tool is ...

On the Challenges toward Realization of Functionally Graded Structures by Electron Beam Melting—Fe-Base Shape Memory Alloy and Stainless Steel
(ASTM International, 2020-09-22)
In the present study, an iron-manganese-aluminum-nickel (Fe-Mn-Al-Ni) shape memory alloy was processed on an austenitic steel (AISI 304) build platform by electron beam melting in order to study the feasibility of realizing functionally graded structures consisting of two different materials (i.e., a functional and a structural material). Compression specimens consisting of the processed shape memory alloy and the austenitic build platform in equal parts were investigated. The microstructure was analyzed in the ...

UV light irradiation of fibers in thermoplastic pultrusion for higher surface energy
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2018)
Pultrusion is a common way to produce thermoplastic composites reinforced with different kinds of fibers. There are many different opportunities to improve the properties of a thermoplastic material. Different kind of fibers where pultruded in combination with different thermoplastic materials. The fiber content was set to 30wt% comparing the roving strain with the pultruded strain. UV-C light was used in the process to improve the fiber matrix adhesion. The pultruded strain was granulated and injection molded to ...

Influence Of The Fiber-Matrix-Interaction On The Fracture Behavior Of Regenerated Cellulose Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2017)
This investigation focuses on the fiber-matrix-interaction of man-made cellulose fibers (RCF) in a PP matrix with an additional MAPP content using an energetic evaluation of the single fiber pull-out test (SFPT). Furthermore glass fibers were characterized for reference purposes. With the SFPT the interfacial shear strength (IFFS) and the critical fiber length (lc) as well as the consumed energy of a fiber pull-out and a fiber rupture were determined. In a following step the resulting values of lc were related to the ...
