Shrinkage behavior

Processing is extremely important in regard to tolerance control in certain cases it is the most influential factor. The dimensional accuracy of the finished product relates to the process, the machining accuracy of mold or die, and the process controls, as well as the shrinkage behavior of the plastic.

In conventional amorphous polymers, molded part shrinkage can usually be predicted using a single measured coefficient of thermal expansion since the CTE values for the flow, transverse, and thickness directions are very similar. Knowledge of CTE or actual shrinkage behavior in the flow and width directions for a... 

The physical parameters are not only responsible for the microstructure after sintering, but also for the shrinkage behavior during the sintering period. Therefore, they have to be kept constant within very close limits. 

Let us express the shrinkage behavior of powder mixtures MCI composed of Ml and Cl, and MC2 composed of M2 and C2 by the shrinkage curve of each component shown in Figure 1. It is assumed that there is no reaction between the metals and the ceramics. The powder mixtures are described as two porous bodies mechanically engaging with each other. Using this assumption, the sintering stress of the mixtures may be given by... 

The actual shrinkage behavior of the mixtures was also referred to the research of Watanabe et al. [1,2] and the initial relative densities in Figure 2 and the parameters a, were determined from their experimental data. 

Figure 3 shows shrinkage behavior of powder mixtures calculated by Eqs. (1) (7) with the heating rate of 100°C/min. The sintering balance of MC2 is better than that of MCI. The shrinkage does not follow the law of mixture, that is, the minimum shrinkage is obtained at the low volume fraction of ceramic [1,2]. This is considered to be because of the increase in the average radius of pores due to mixture. This phenomenon was expressed as the reduction in relative density in Eq. (6) in the present work. 

In solventborne paints, small amounts of the organic solvents may remain in the resultant film after cross-linking. Solvent retention can reduce internal tension, linear shrinkage behavior, and the glass transition temperature [3.14]. 

Prismatic specimens with dimensions of 50 x 50 x 200 mm were prepared. The specimens were cured in the laboratory environment. The average temperature in the laboratory was 27 3°C and the relative humidity was 70%. The first measurement was taken using a length comparator with a precision of 2 pm after 24 h of mixing, while the rest of measurements were taken after 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 days. The shrinkage behavior of the mortars containing nano-Si02 is shown in Fig. 5.3. 

Melt temperature (Tm) refers to a plastic when it melts or softens and begins to have flow tendency. It provides recommendation for processing temperature to be used and related to tolerance and shrinkage behavior of molded products. 

TSs has a much lower shrinkage than TPs. The TSs is also easier to control shrinkage however, TPs are controllable. When comparing the shrinkage behaviors of URPs with RPs, there is much less shrinkage with RPs. Thus with RPs, tolerances and shrinkages are significantly reduced or eliminated and provide more reliability in ease of repeatability than URPs.
