The primary goal of this study was to investigate the monotonic tensile behavior of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in its virgin, regrind, and laminated forms. HDPE is the most commonly used polymer in many industries. A variety of tensile tests were performed using plate-type specimens made of rectangular plaques. Several factors can affect the tensile behavior such as thickness, processing technique, temperature, and strain rate. Testing temperatures were chosen at −40, 23 (room temperature, RT), 53, and 82 °C to investigate temperature effect. Tensile properties, including elastic modulus, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength, were obtained for all conditions. Tensile properties significantly reduced by increasing temperature while elastic modulus and ultimate tensile strength linearly increased at higher strain rates. A significant effect of thickness on tensile properties was observed for injection molding specimens at 23 °C, but no thickness effect was observed for compression molded specimens at either 23 or 82 °C. The aforementioned effects and discussion of their influence on tensile properties are presented in this paper. Polynomial relations for tensile properties, including elastic modulus, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength, were developed as functions of temperature and strain rate. Such relations can be used to estimate tensile properties of HDPE as a function of temperature and/or strain rate for application in designing parts with this material.

Growing usage of radiation crosslinked plastic materials and utilization of their advantageous properties might raise a question of their future recycling. This paper deals with utilization of recycled irradiated polyamide 6 (rPA6x) which is used as a filler into low and high-density polyethylene (LDPE/HDPE) in concentrations 10 and 30 %. Mechanical properties of such blends were investigated and compared. Both blends show similar trend at all observed material characteristics. Elastic modulus representing material stiffness grown with increasing amount of the filler. Ultimate tensile strength and impact toughness decreased and hardness slightly increased. All the obtained results show that it is possible to use recycled radiation crosslinked PA6 as a filler but it is necessary to count with properties change.

Before And After

Tensile test at loading velocities up to 10 m·s-1(strain rate up to 3.2x102s-1) was carried out forr SiCp/AC4CH composite and AC4CH alloy. The microstructure of the composite before and after tensile deformation was carefully examined with both optical microscope and SEM. The experimental results demonstrated that the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength (YS) increase with increasing loading velocity up to 10 m·s-1. Comparing with AC4CH alloy, the fracture elongation of the composite is sensitivity with the increasing strain rate. The YS of both the composite and AC4CH alloy shows more sensitive than that of the UTS with the increasing strain rate, especially in the range of strain rate higher than 102s-1.

The Impact

Abstract Digital light processing (DLP) is an emerging vatphotopolymerization-based 3D-printing technology where full layers of photosensitive resin are irradiated and cured with projected ultraviolet (UV) light to create a three-dimensional part layer-by-layer. Recent breakthroughs in polymer chemistry have led to a growing number of UV-curable elastomeric photoresins developed exclusively for vat photopolymerization additive manufacturing (AM). Coupled with the practical manufacturing advantages of DLP AM (e.g., industry-leading print speeds and sub-micron-level print resolution), these novel elastomeric photoresins are compelling candidates for emerging applications requiring extreme flexibility, stretchability, conformability, and mechanically-tunable stiffness (e.g., soft robotic actuators and stretchable electronics). To advance the role of DLP AM in these novel and promising technological spaces, a fundamental understanding of the impact of DLP manufacturing process parameters on mechanical properties is requisite. This paper highlights our recent efforts to explore the process-property relationship for ELAST-BLK 10, a new commercially-available UV-curable elastomer for DLP AM. A full factorial design of experiments is used to investigate the effect of build orientation and layer thickness on the quasi-static tensile properties (i.e., small-strain elastic modulus, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation at fracture) of ELAST-BLK 10. Statistical results, based on a general linear model via ANOVA methods, indicate that specimens with a flat build orientation exhibit the highest elastic modulus, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation at fracture, likely due to a larger surface area that enhances crosslink density during the curing process. Several popular hyperelastic constitutive models (e.g., Mooney-Rivlin, Yeoh, and Gent) are calibrated to our quasi-static tensile data to facilitate component-level predictive analyses (e.g., finite-element modeling) of soft robotic actuators and other emerging soft-matter applications.

Mg-3Al-1Zn (AZ31) alloy was caliber rolled at 250, 300, 350, 400 and 450 °C. The effects of caliber rolling temperature on the microstructure and tensile properties were investigated. The room temperature tensile tests were carried out to failure at a strain rate of 1 x 10-4s-1. The nature of stress-strain curves obtained was found to vary with the temperature employed in caliber rolling. The yield strength and tensile strength followed a sinusoidal behaviour with increasing caliber rolling temperature but no such trend was noted in ductility. These variations in tensile properties were explained by the varying grain sizes obtained as a function of caliber rolling temperature.

Strain Rates

The influence of temperature and strain rate on the hot tensile properties of 0Cr18AlSi ferritic stainless steel, a potential structural material in the ultra-supercritical generation industry, was investigated at temperatures ranging from 873 to 1123 K and strain rates of 1.7 × 10−4–1.7 × 10−2 s−1. The microstructural evolution linked to the hot deformation mechanism was characterized by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). At the same strain rate, the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength decrease rapidly from 873 K to 1023 K and then gradually to 1123 K. Meanwhile, both yield strength and ultimate tensile strength increase with the increase in strain rate. At high temperatures and low strain rates, the prolonged necking deformation can be observed, which determines the ductility of the steel to some extent. The maximum elongation is obtained at 1023 K for the strain rates of 1.7 × 10−3 and 1.7 × 10−2 s−1, while this temperature is postponed to 1073 K once decreasing the strain rate to 1.7 × 10−4 s−1. Dynamic recovery (DRV) and continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) are found to be the main softening mechanisms during the hot tensile deformation. With the increase of temperature and the decrease of strain rate (i.e., 1123 K and 1.7 × 10−4 s−1), the sub-grain coalescence becomes the main mode of CDRX that evolved from the sub-grain rotation. The gradual decrease in strength above 1023 K is related to the limited increase of dynamic recrystallization and the sufficient DRV. The area around the new small recrystallized grains on the coarse grain boundaries provides the nucleation site for cavity, which generally results in a reduction in ductility. Constitutive analysis shows that the stress exponent and the deformation activation energy are 5.9 and 355 kJ·mol−1 respectively, indicating that the dominant deformation mechanism is the dislocations motion controlled by climb. This work makes a deeply understanding of the hot deformation behavior and its mechanism of the Al-bearing ferritic stainless steel and thus provides a basal design consideration for its extensive application.

Wollastonite is one type of inorganic filler. The effects of wollastonite loading on tensile properties of wollastonite (WS) filled high density polyethylene (HDPE)/Natural Rubber (NR) composites was studied. The HDPE/NR/WS composites were prepared by using Brabender EC Plus at a temperature of 180 °C with rotor speed of 50 rpm for 10 min. It was found that the increasing of wollastonite loading had decreased the tensile strength and elongation at break, whereas the Young’s modulus of the HDPE/NR/WS composites had increased with the increasing of wollastonite loading.

The tensile properties of PLA/PBAT blends, PLA fibre reinforced PBAT composite (PLAF) at room temperature and -18°C were investigated. The concentrations of PLA in the blends were 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% (by volume). There was an improvement of elastic modulus (E) for PLA/PBAT blends when PLA was 40%. There was no significant difference of ultimate tensile strength (UTS) among the blends. For the same concentration of PLA (40%) in PLA-PBAT mixture, PLAF exhibited higher values of E and UTS than that of PLA/PBAT blends. Elongation of PLA/PBAT blends rapidly decreased upon the addition of PLA to the blends. The values of E and UTS for PLA/PBAT blends and composite, neat PLA, and PP increased with the decreasing of temperature from room temperature to -18°C. The effect of decreasing temperature was not observed on elongation. It was appeared from the results obtained for FTIR and DSC measurements that PLA and PBAT were immiscible, separating into two phases.

The high strain rate tensile properties of annealed 2 1/4 Cr-1 Mo steel were determined and the tensile behavior from 25 to 566°C and strain rates of 2.67 × 10−6 to 144/s were described. Above 0.1/s at 25°C, both the yield stress and the ultimate tensile strength increased rapidly with increasing strain rate. As the temperature was increased, a dynamic strain aging peak appeared in the ultimate tensile strength-temperature curves. The peak height was a maximum at about 350°C and 2.67 × 10−6/s. With increasing strain rate, a peak of decreased height occurred at progressively higher temperatures. The major effect of strain rate on ductility occurred at elevated temperatures, where a decrease in strain rate caused an increase in total elongation and reduction in area.

AbstractThis paper studied the effect of extrusion on the microstructures and tensile properties of 4 vol.% 5 μm SiCp/Al2014 composites fabricated by stir casting. It has been found that extrusion could refine the α-Al grains, increase the distributed homogeneity of SiC particles, decrease the porosity of the composites, and improve the interfacial bonding strength. The tensile properties, especially the ductility, of the fine SiCp/Al2014 composites were significantly improved by extrusion. Compared with the as-cast 4 vol.% 5 μm SiCp/Al2014 composites, the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and fracture strain of the extruded composites increased from 242 MPa, 367 MPa, and 3.8% to 304 MPa, 530 MPa, and 11.2%, which were increased by 25.6%, 44.4%, and 195%, respectively.
