The electrochemical plating method was used to fabricate IPMCs with different types of electrodes. The exact chemicals and reduction materials are shown in Table. 2.1. An Instron 5565 machine was used for the tensile testing (see Fig. 2.12 (a) for the setup). The fabricated IPMC samples were punched out using a dog-bone shaped punch mold. Its size followed ASTM 638 and 882, as shown in Fig. 2.12 (b). The tensile test was per-... 

Tooling production involves a mix of ethyl cellulose or cellulose acetate-butyrate with a wax. Plasticized cellulose acetate-butyrate can also be used. These mixes are poured into molds as hot liquid melts. This process differs from the others previously described in that no additional polymerization takes place. Objects produced in this manner include jigs, fixtures, blocks, hammer forms, dies, and punches. Molds are usually simple and are made of plaster or wood. 

Steei is mostiy used in a combination of form and punch mold (due to its stiffness and hardness). 

Only in forming/punching molds with shear cutting, are small differences of the maximum 1.5 °C needed in order to prevent the cutting edge of framing (due to linear expansion of the two mold halves).

Without the additional thermal mass of the die set, pins, bushings, and punching molds, our hot embossing platens are capable of heating from 50 °C to 120 °C in less than five minutes. With the additional thermal mass for these experiments, the machine takes proximately 13 minutes to reach a mold temperature of 120 °C when the hot embossing platens are initially set to 135 °C. 

These ahoys are used as fuses, sprinkler system ahoys, foundry pattern ahoys, molds, dies, punches, cores, and mandrels where the low melting ahoy is often melted out of a mold. The ahoys are also used as solders, for the repHcation of human body parts (see Prosthetic devices), and as filler for tube bending. Lead—iadium ahoys are often used to joia metals to glass. 

The best products have smooth, natural curves and drawn sections that are spherical or nearly so in shape. Their walls will be more uniform, they will be more rigid, their surfaces will be less apt to show tool marks, and their tooling and molds will be lower in cost. Notches or square holes should be avoided when punching formed products. Round holes are preferred to oval ones for minimizing stress buildup. 

Tools include dies, molds, mandrel, jigs, fixtures, punch dies, etc. for shaping and fabricating parts (Tables 8-13 and 8-14). 

We test the impact resistance of polymer plaques using the configuration shown in Fig. 8.8. We subject circular injection molded plaques to the shock of a falling weight with a hemispherical impacter. This test is also known as the Dart Drop Test . Samples can fail in a brittle or a ductile manner. Brittle samples often shatter. Ductile samples can split or a small disk may be punched out of their center. This test provides results that are analogous to those obtained from un-notched impact beam testing. 

The measure of shear strength typically utilizes a punch-type shear fixture (Figure 14.19). The shear strength is equal to the load divided by the area. Thus, the sample is mounted in a punch-type shear fixture and punch-pushed down at a specified rate until shear occurs. This test is important for sheets and films but is not typically employed for extruded or molded products. 

During the thermoforming process (see Fig. 12), the sheet is heated above the glass transition temperature and below the melting point of the crystalline phase [35]. Afterwards, the hot sheet is formed into a chilled mold using vacuum, pressure and/or mechanical force. After a cooling step, the thermoformed containers are punched out and ejected. The skeleton (30-70% of the total volume) is recycled in the same application (Fig. 12). 

The die-and-punch method of compact imparts an anisotropic pressure to the compact. It is possible to apply pressure equally in all directions using a process called isostatic pressing, in which the powder is compacted with a fluid, such as hydraulic fluid, water, or an inert gas. Isostatic pressing is carried out using formed, flexible molds, called cans, that contain the powder and allow the pressure from the fluid to be transferred to the powder. The flexible molds are then stripped off the compact after densification. Isostatic pressing eliminates the die-wall friction inherent in die compaction and allows for consolidation of large components. However, isostatic pressing... 

None of these waxes, including the standard, Staiiolind 170/5, was entirely satisfactory. The addition of graphite to the compns, the use of some mold release compds, and a change to a chromium plated punch did not improve the pelleting characteristics... 

Clay has many moods, and many small children are especially intrigued with the feel and easy versatility of clay. They like to squeeze, roll, punch, flatten, and shape it. They can impress it with designs, scratch it, hollow it out, and cut it. In liquid form, it can be poured into a mold. Many children make their first three-dimensional work of art while they are playing with clay. Often they use clay three-dimensional works of art to express emotions that they cannot express in words. 

When processing plastics some type of tooling is usually required. Tools include molds, dies, mandrels, jigs, fixtures, punch dies, perforated forms, etc. The terms for tools are virtually synonymous in the sense that they have some type of female and/or negative cavity into or through which a molten plastic moves usually under heat and pressure or they are used in secondary operations such as cutting dies, stamping sheet dies, etc. These tools fabricate or shape products. In this chapter injection molds and extrusion dies are primarily reviewed because they represent over 95% of all tools made for the plastic industry. This chapter also includes information applicable to other molds and dies used in the other processes some of the other chapters too provide information applicable to their tools.
