Notes:
Because of orientation and separation, injection molded products are heterogeneous andanisotropic. These heterogeneousness and anisotropy have a vast influence on mechanical propertiesof molding material and product characteristics. It is well known that fiber orientation state infiber-reinforced polymeric composite has a profound effect on dynamic qualities like intensity,rigidity, and etc. To measure the fiber orientation of injection molded product's weld part, we firstX-rayed moldings and recognized this photo by using an image scanner. Then, image processingmethod, which uses intensity difference in measuring fiber orientation state, is applied. Through theseprocedures, we can analyze the influence of molding's fiber orientation state according to mold gatechanges. Fiber orientation is related mainly with the mold gate positions than with fiber content ormold temperature. When the distance from the gate increases, by matrix and reinforcement's flowspeed differences, fiber orientation occurred. As diversion flow occurred at the end of fluid flow, fiberoriented at a right angle to the flow, and this is the same effect of weld line formation
