Abstract
The wire deformation and flow behavior of model liquid within the cavity of a transfer molding process were studied with flow visualization experiments and image processing measurements. The flow pattern within the cavity was found to be a laminar flow. The pressure drop and flow rate during filling from a pot to each cavity was different in each cavity. The wire deformation is proportional to flow rate and the distance of the cavity from the pot. The correlation between the deformation and the flow rate has been also made clear through the measurement experiment.
