چکیده
This paper investigates the formation process of a typical microstructure in the glass microfluidic chip, i.e., cuboid microprotrusion, by the soda-lime glass molding process (GMP). The finite element models on the platform Abaqus/Standard were established for simulating the glass molding process. The glass viscoelasticity at pressing temperature was described by the General Maxwell model. The influence of the temperature, aspect ratio and side wall angle on the replication ratio was investigated, and the corresponding predicted molded profiles were demonstrated as well. The established simulation model was verified by experimental results eventually. It could provide a fundamental experience for optimizing glass molding parameters to fabricate microstructures on glass chips.

During the recent years powder processing technologies have gained much attention due to the less energy consumption and recyclable powders. Manufacturing of complicated parts by the conventional powder metallurgy (PM) method is hard due to the uniaxial pressure, which leads to the low design flexibility. In order to prevail these constraints, powder injection molding (PIM) process, which inclu...
متن کاملA Collaborative Research in Experimental Study and Numerical Simulation of Compression Molding of Precision Glass Optical Elements
Compression molding process can potentially be used to make high precision glass lenses. In a lens molding process, glass raw material is heated above its transition temperature and is subsequently pressed between the two mold halves into a lens shape. Controlled cooling (annealing) of the formed lens is then carried out with the molds in a closed position in order to enable uniform cooling of ...
