M2 High Speed Steel

This paper reports on the compatibility of waste rubber as binder for M2 High Speed Steel injection moulding. The feedstock was prepared at a powder loading of 65 vol.% using 22μm M2 High Speed Steel powder and the binders consisting of 55wt.% paraffin wax, 21wt.% polyethylene, 14wt.% waste rubber and 10wt.% stearic acid. The specimens were then sintered in vacuum and 95%N2/5%H2 atmosphere. The sintering in vacuum atmosphere occurred within a temperature range from1200°C to 1260°C, whilst the 95%N2/5%H2 atmosphere was carried out within a temperature range from 1220°C to 1300°C. The effects of the sintering atmosphere and temperature on the physical properties, mechanical properties and microstructure were investigated.

Grey Relational

This study presents an optimization of injection moulding parameters on mechanical properties of plastic part using Taguchi method and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) approach. The orthogonal array with L9 was used as the experimental design. Grey relational analysis for ultimate tensile strength, modulus and percentage of elongation from the Taguchi method can convert optimization of the multiple performance characteristics into optimization of a single performance characteristic called the grey relational grade (GRG). It is found that mould temperature of 62oC, melt temperature of 280oC, injection time of 0.70s and cooling time 15.4s are found as the optimum process setting. Furthermore, ANOVA result shows that the cooling time is the most influenced factor that affects the mechanical properties of plastic part followed by mould temperature and melt temperature.

Fused Deposition

New technologies are offering progressively more effective alternatives to traditional ones. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is gaining importance in fields related to design, manufacturing, engineering and medicine, especially in applications which require complex geometries. Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is framed within AM as a technology in which, due to their layer-by-layer deposition, thermoplastic polymers are used for manufacturing parts with a high degree of accuracy and minimum material waste during the process. The traditional technology corresponding to FDM is Polymer Injection Moulding, in which polymeric pellets are injected by pressure into a mould using the required geometry. The increasing use of PA6 in Additive Manufacturing makes it necessary to study the possibility of replacing certain parts manufactured by injection moulding with those created using FDM. In this work, PA6 was selected due to its higher mechanical properties in comparison with PA12. Moreover, its higher melting point has been a limitation for 3D printing technology, and a further study of composites made of PA6 using 3D printing processes is needed. Nevertheless, analysis of the mechanical response of standardised samples and the influence of the manufacturing process on the polyamide’s mechanical properties needs to be carried out. In this work, a comparative study between the two processes was conducted, and conclusions were drawn from an engineering perspective.

In this work prototypes of internal fixation plates of acetabular fractures were developed and manufactured. The injection moulding was used to produce polymeric and composite samples. The plates and paddle-like beam samples made of polylactide and the polymer composite modified with 7 wt. % of tricalcium phosphate were produced. The samples were incubated in physiological fluids for 8 months. During the in vitro tests their durability and mechanical properties were determined. In comparison to the pure polylactide the addition of TCP accelerated degradation process. The degradation of the composite started after about 100 days of incubation, whereas the initial polymer began to degrade about 50 days later. The obtained biodegradable plates revealed sufficient mechanical properties for internal fixation of acetabular fractures for bone joining.

Cellulose fibres were employed as reinforcement agent for biodegradable composites using polylactic acid (PLA) as a polymer matrix. PLA can be obtained from renewable resources, and it is attracting much interest owing to its favourable physico-mechanical properties and biodegradability. Prior to composite compounding, two commercial PLA from different suppliers were characterized for apparent density, flow index, crystallinity, thermal properties, melt flow rheology and intrinsic viscosity for comparison. In experiments performed with an integrated compounding–injection moulding machine (ICIM), the effects of the processing conditions on the mechanical properties of composites (tensile strength, stiffness and strain at break) were analyzed using a Taguchi experimental design. Other properties of the composites, such as surface morphology and fibre length distribution, were also considered. ICIM technology provided composites with better mechanical properties and lower fibre degradation than the conventional sequential extrusion and injection moulding (SEIM) technology.

Metal Injection Moulding

A route to handle titanium specific challenges as oxygen and carbon sensitivity when applying Metal Injection Moulding is presented. It is shown that by appropriate processing components with excellent mechanical properties can be manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V alloy powder. In addition, alloy modification by simple powder metallurgical methods is performed in order to optimise the fatigue properties by changing the microstructure of the sintered part.
