Abstract
In this the study, the effects of the manufacturing process conditions on the properties Thick and Thin Diameter yarns(TTD yarns) prepared with hot plate device in the draw winder were determined. Physical properties including wet shrinkage, tenacity and elongation of the samples were measured and thick and thin effect was analysed with the evenness tester. The results were as the follows: There was little change the wet shrinkage of the TTD yarns in the range of $70^{\circ}C{\sim}80^{\circ}C$ of $R_1$ temperature(lower hot cylinder) with the same Hot Plate(H/P) temperature, but the wet shrinkage of the TTD yarns decreased 5-10% when $R_1$ temperature was $90^{\circ}C$. The wet shrinkage of the TTD yarns decreased with the H/P temperature at the same temperature of $R_1$. There was little effect of $R_1$ and H/P temperature on the tenacity of TTD yarns. The elongation of TTD yarns increased with $R_1$ temperature at the same H/P temperature. The elongation of TTD yarns increased little bit for the first time and then decreased above that temperature with increasing H/P temperature at the same $R_1$ temperature. The thick and thin effect on the TTD yarns was obvious in $110^{\circ}C$ of H/P temperature regardless of $R_1$ temperature, while there was no thick and thin effect on the TTD yarns in $140^{\circ}C$ of H/P temperature.
