Taking the molding block thickness, relaxation ratio and shatter resistance as evaluation indicators, the effects of compression parameters, which include mold form, compressive force, pressure-holding time and loading rate, on molding block quality of fish floss were investigated by means of single factor and orthogonal test. The results show that: 1) the mold form, compressive force, pressure...

The rheological behavior of feedstocks used in powder injection molding technology influences strongly on the final properties of the products. Powder loading is one of the important factors that have a great distribution on rheological behaviors. By using the gas atomized spherical 316L stainless steel powder and the binder of 55% paraffin wax+ 40% polyethylen+ 5% stearic acid, four kinds of f...

BACKGROUND Alveolar and nasal reconstruction for patients with cleft lip and palate is a challenge for the reconstructive surgeon. Various procedures have been attempted to reduce the cleft gap so as to obtain esthetic results post surgically. Yet there is need of continuous exploration of newer and better methods. Rehabilitation of cleft lip and palate generally requires a team approach with p...

Group VII atom containing polymers such as chlorine rubber, and fluorine rubber tend to show a high degree polarity due to their high molar attraction constants [1]. Their practical applications include molded parts, cable, hose, o-rings, etc., which require chemical resistance. In molding the final products, there are several problems such as shrinkage, porosity, blisters, poor knitting, backr...

This paper puts forward a scheme to form perlite sound absorption boards by vibration molding according to the material properties and the characteristics of vibration forming method. In the trial, the feasibility and reliability of this method were confirmed by studying the effect of working pressure, frequency and vibration force on the quality of the perlite sound absorption board. Besides, ...

The small punch test is widely used to characterize the ductility and fracture resistance in metals and ceramics, when only a small volume of material is available. This study was conducted to investigate the suitability of the small punch test for characterizing polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymeric biomaterials for changes in material grade, crystallinity, and molding process. The small punch...

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) provides a way to fabricate graphite composite bipolar plates, which significantly reduces time and cost at the research and development stage of bipolar plates, as compared with the conventional fabrication methods of compression molding and injection molding. Different graphite materials (natural graphite, synthetic graphite, carbon black, and carbon fiber) wer...

The height of the working model affects mouthguard thickness. aim this study was to clarify difference in effect on thickness between single- and double-layered mouthguards. Mouthguards were thermoformed using ethylene-vinyl-acetate sheets a pressure molding machine. Working models three hard gypsum with anterior part trimmed 25 mm (model A), 30 B), 35 C). Three conditions compared: single-laye...
