摘要: 为了研究超声振动对纤维增强复合材料注射成型特性的影响, 利用自行开发的超声辅助可视化注射成型实验装置对不同玻纤(GF)含量的GF增强聚丙烯(PP)复合材料进行了超声外场作用下的可视化实验, 观测分析了超声功率对复合熔体充填流动行为的影响。此外, 通过对试样不同部位的金相观察, 分析了超声功率对复合材料纤维取向的影响。结果表明:超声功率会对复合材料注射成型的充填流动行为及制品的纤维取向产生影响, 而复合材料纤维含量对超声振动的效果也有直接影响。在纤维含量较低时, 超声振动对基体材料微观形态的作用为影响复合材料充填流动性及纤维取向的主因;在纤维含量较高时, 超声振动对纤维的作用为影响复合材料充填流动性及纤维取向的主因。研究结果为复合材料超声辅助成型技术的发展提供了依据。Abstract: In order to investigate the effects of ultrasonic vibration on injection molding characteristics of fiber reinforce composites, by using a self-developed ultrasonic assisted injection molding visualization experimental device, visualization experiments under ultrasonic field effects were conducted on glass fiber (GF) reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites with different GF contents. Effects of ultrasonic power on filling flow behaviors of composite melts were observed and analyzed. In addition, the effects of ultrasonic power on fiber orientation of composites were also analyzed by metallographic observation of different parts of specimens. The results show that ultrasonic power affects the composites filling flow behaviors of injection modeling and the fiber orientation of products. While the fiber content of composites also has direct influences on the effects of ultrasonic vibration. When the fiber content is lower, the main reason which influences the filling flow ability of composites and fiber orientation is the effect of ultrasonic vibration on micromorphology of matrix materials; when the fiber content is higher, the main reason which influences the filling flow ability of composites and fiber orientation is the effect of ultrasonic vibration on fibers. The investigation results provide the basis for the development of ultrasonic assistant molding technology for composites.
