Effect of Various Pulling Speeds on the Mechanical Properties of Various Fiber Mixture Combinations of Polyamide 6 and 6.6 Materials

Abstract

Nowadays, thermoplastic composites have increasingly wide application areas due to their high stiffness and impact strength properties, superior fracture toughness, long duration of raw material shelf life and ease of production processes. Besides, they provide safer work environment. In this study, it has been examined that how the pulling speeds effects mechanical properties of thermoplastic composites. Non-reinforced, 15 percent reinforced and 30 percent reinforced polyamide 6 and polyamide 6.6 samples are produced with using plastic injection molding method and they are subjected to tensile testing at five different pulling speeds using the Tensile Testing Device. The results obtained from testing and those gathered from the plastics manufacturer company are compared with data obtained from the literature to check mechanical properties of thermoplastic composites which have been used in pulling speed test. It is observed that the experimental results were highly consistent with those in literature. According to these
