The PIM (powder injection molding) process consists of several steps in which faults can occur. The quality of the part that is produced usually cannot be seen until the end of the process. It is therefore necessary to find a way to discover the fault earlier in the process. The cause of defects is very often “phase separation” (inhomogeneity in powder distribution), which can also be influenced by the holding pressure. This paper evaluates the powder distribution with a new method based on density measurement. Measurements were made using various holding pressure values.

AbstractWe present a new method of increasing the effective electrode surface for improved neural recording. To optimize the electrode, the impedance can be decreased by introducing surface roughness or nanostructures on the electrode. High aspect ratio pillar-like polysilicon nanostructures are created in a reactive ion etch. Nanostructure robustness in cell culture is examined.

As a measure to perform a burnishing process easily on an NC lathe, the authors propose a new method using a flank face positioned in a few millimeters lower part of the nose cutting edge of a tool. In the experiment, giving a fixed depth of burnishing (t=1, 2 and 4μm/pass), the carbon steel workpiece (S45C) of φ30mm which had been turned at V=200m/min and f=0.15mm/rev was burnished by predefined number of times. As a result, the surface roughness improved in nearly proportion to the total depth of burnishing and the roughness value of Rz≈10μm measured after turning could be improved to Rz≈2.5μm. Utilizing the feed control with an accuracy level of micron meters of the NC lathe, an attempt to control the dimensional accuracy of the workpiece diameter in the order of micron meters was also made. As a result, the workpiece radius came down constantly by 0.6~0.8 times in proportion to the tool depth of burnishing (t=1μm/pass), which reveals that the dimensional accuracy of the workpiece diameter could be controlled by the proposed burnishing process utilizing a fixed depth of burnishing system. Using the same burnishing process, circularity of the workpiece Δr could be improved to Δr≈2μm from Δr≈4μm measured after turning.
