Abstract ALMANITE W comprises a series of three types of austenitic-martensitic white irons characterized by high hardness and relatively good impact strength. Type W1 has a pearlitic matrix. Type W2 has a martensitic matrix, Type W4 is highly alloyed to provide an austenitic matrix in the as-cast condition which may be further modified to give a martensitic matrix by heat treatment or by refrigeration. This datasheet provides information on composition, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on casting, heat treating, machining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: CI-42. Producer or source: Meehanite Metal Corporation.

Work Of Fracture

Polyamide 6 (PA6) based nanocomposites toughened with 20 wt% maleated styrene-ethylene-butylene-stryrene (mSEBS) reinforced with 1-7 wt% silicon carbide nanoparticles (SiCp) were fabricated via melt blending followed by injection molding. Tensile results showed that SiCp additions improve the Young’s modulus and tensile strength of PA6/mSEBS blends but decrease their tensile ductility and impact strength. EWF test revealed that the SiCp additions reduce both the specific essential work of fracture and specific non-essential plastic work of fracture. Thus SiCp additions are detrimental to the fracture toughness of PA6/mSEBS blend.

Toughness Testing

This research focusing on mechanical properties of rubber toughened polyester filled carbon black (RPCB) reinforced with untreated kenaf (RPCBUK) and treated kenaf (RPCBTK). The samples were fabricated via compression moulding technique in which 3 % of LNR was added as toughening agent in this composite. Percentages of carbon black (CB) is 4 % and kenaf used vary from 5,10,15,20 and 25wt %. The mechanical properties were evaluated by impact and fracture toughness testing. The result for each test was discussed to determine the most optimum loading of kenaf fibre used to produce the best properties of composite. Untreated hybrid composite showed improvement on impact strength as compared to RPCB composite. RPCBTK with 25% of kenaf and RPCBUK with 5% of kenaf loading give the highest impact strength among the hybrid composites, approaching the strength of neat polyester. Same trend shows by fracture toughness testing. The microstructures of the composites’ fracture surface images from scanning electron microscope (SEM) prove the mechanical properties of the hybrid composites.
