Measurement of the Hygroscopic Swelling Coefficient in Mold Compounds Using Moiré Interferometry
نویسنده
چکیده
An experimental method is proposed to characterize the hygroscopic swelling of mold compounds. The method utilizes moiré interferometry, which measures in-plane displacements over a relatively large gage length with submicron measurement sensitivity. Deformations caused by the absorption of moisture in mold compounds are analyzed to determine the coefficient of hygroscopic swelling (CHS). The large gage length nullifies the pointto-point variation within the sample, and the high sensitivity provides the measurement accuracy required for the small hygroscopic deformation. Representative results obtained from a commercially available mold compound are presented.

متن کاملEVALUATION OF PRESSURE EFFECT ON HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT AT THE METAL- MOLD INTERFACE FOR CASTING OF A356 AL ALLOY
Abstract: During solidification and casting in metallic molds, the heat flow is controlled by the thermal resistance at the casting-mold interface. Thus heat transfer coefficient at the metal- mold interface has a predominant effect on the rate of heat transfer. In some processes such as low pressure and die-casting, the effect of pressure on molten metal will affect the rate of heat transfer a...
