Experimental Study on the Mechanical Behavior of Polyamide 6 with
Glass Fiber Composites Fabricated through Fused Deposition Modeling
Process 2024-01-5043
In this paper, experimental studies were conducted to examine the mechanical
behavior of a polymer composite material called polyamide with glass fiber
(PA6-GF), which was fabricated using the three-dimensional (3D) fusion
deposition modeling (FDM) technique. FDM is one of the most well-liked low-cost
3D printing techniques for facilitating the adhesion and hot melting of
thermoplastic materials. PA6 exhibits an exceptionally significant overall
performance in the families of engineering thermoplastic polymer materials. By
using twin-screw extrusion, a PA6-GF mixed particles made of PA6 and 20% glass
fiber was produced as filament. Based on literature review, the samples have
been fabricated for tensile, hardness, and flexural with different layer
thickness of 0.08 mm, 0.16 mm, and 0.24 mm, respectively. The composite PA6-GF
behavior is characterized through an experimental test employing a variety of
test samples made in the x and z axes. The mechanical and physical
characteristics of PA6-GF polymer were examined using tensile, flexural, and
impact tests. The best outcomes were obtained for specimens printed with 0.08 mm
lower value of layer height, which had a greater impact on all mechanical
performance. The replacement of traditional materials was suggested with this
high-strength printed samples in industrial application products.
