Research Abstract |
The reflection of ultrasonic wave depends on a real contact area between die and material, acoustic impedance of interface materials, and a contact geometry of the interface. In this experiment we examined the maximum wave intensities reflected from upper and lower flat die surfaces during a molding process. The relative intensity of the reflecting wave was defined as ratio of the intensity during molding to that before molding. The change in the relative intensity has corresponded sensitively with a filling rate or a contact ratio of the resin at the interface, development of solidification of the resin because of the change in acoustic impedance and the separation of resin from the die surface due to the shrinkage of molded material. It has been also clarified that the relative intensity has the close relation with overall thermal resistance at the interface. Thus, a newly developed method measuring transient contact conditions provides the effective tool to optimize the process coditions for forming accurate shapes or good properties.
