SYNOPSISThe neck-like deformation process occurring in high-speed melt spinning of polyamide 66 and polyamide 6 filaments was investigated at take-up speeds of 4200 to 5500 m/min by on-line laser light scattering, thermographic contrast compensation, and wide-angle X-ray scattering ( WAXS ) measurements. New information about the onset of crystallization along the spinline was obtained by measuring simultaneously diameter and temperature profiles in the neighborhood of the neck. Crystallization rates, as a function of take-up speed, are estimated for both polyamides. Based on the present experimental results of diameter profiles, temperature profiles, and WAXS patterns, a picture of the physical mechanism responsible for the neck-like deformation of high-speed melt spun polyamides is proposed.
