intact preform ejection after molding. Key parameters include: PZT/binder ratio, PZT element diameter and taper, PZT base thickness, tool surface finish, and the molded part ejection mechanism design. In order to evaluate these process parameters without incurring excessive tool cost, a tool design having only two rows of 19 PZT elements each has been adopted for experimental purposes. Each row contains elements having three taper angles (0, 1 and 2 degrees) and two diameters ( and l mm). To acmodate molding shrinkage, the size of the preform is maintained at 5Ox50mm to minimize the possibility of shearing off the outermost fibers during the cooling portion of the molding cycle.Figure 3 shows green ceramic preforms fabricated using this tool configuration. Note that all of the PZT elements ejected intact after molding, including those having no longitudinal tapering to facilitate ejection. Slow heating in air has been found to be a suitable method for organic binder removal. Finally, the burnedout preforms are sintered in a PbOrich atmosphere to 9798% of the theoretical density. No problems have been encountered with controlling the weight loss during sintering of these posite preforms, even for those finescale, highsurface area preforms which are intended for high frequency ultrasound.Figure 4 illustrates the surfaces of asmolded and assintered fibers, showing the presence of shallow fold lines approximately 10pm wide, which are characteristic of the injection molding process. The fibers exhibit minor grooving along their length due to ejection from the tool. Figure 5 shows the capability of near netshape molding for fabricating very fine scale preforms。 rapid throughput (typically seconds per part)。通過陶瓷的注射成型來制造合成物型坯,之后使用型坯來形成大批生產(chǎn),此種方法已經(jīng)證明用于網(wǎng)狀大量制造壓電復合物傳感器。圖6所示復合材料樣品使用剛才復合的壓電陶瓷/粘結劑混合物以及再生材料制造??諝庵械木徛訜嵋呀?jīng)被發(fā)現(xiàn)是一個適合去除有機粘合劑的方法。如圖2b所示的方法使用了無需導致額外重組成本的嵌入式的并允許局部變化的設計。對于陶瓷,型腔必須無損拆除,迫使高的固體載荷,嚴格控制型腔移除的過程,以及適當?shù)膴A具。注塑成型過程克服了通過網(wǎng)型預成型陶瓷纖維整列使裝配導向陶瓷纖維進入復合材料傳感器的困難。最近,纖維材料公司已經(jīng)證明了其用于纖維增強復合材料的編織技術在裝配壓電材料方面的適應性。檢漏器的性能系數(shù)可使得這個復合物超過那些通過適當選擇階段特征和復合結構的固體材料10000倍。 附件1:外文資料翻譯譯文通過注射成型制造壓電陶瓷/聚合物復合材料Leslie J.
