AN ADVANCED HIGH MODULUS (HMG) SHORT GLASS-FIBER REINFORCED NYLON 6: PART I - ROLE AND KINETIC OF FIBER-GLASS REINFORCEMENTS

摘要

Resent developments were oriented on two high-flow, high-modulus fiber-glass reinforced nylon 6 (HMG series) grades for automotive and other industrial applications requiring high stiffness and high strength. These materials combined the following improved technological (injection molding, vibration welding, etc.) and mechanical performance properties such as greater dimensional stability, higher short-term (strength and stiffness) and long-term (fatigue and creep). The current and possible applications of these plastics includes auto mirror housing brackets, clutch pedals, clutch master cylinders, ski bindings, steering wheels, levers, auto seat frames, door handles and door lock mechanisms. In Part I of this paper, we are presenting results of reinforcement analysis with the influence of level of loading and geometrical parameters of used fiber-glass.
