Abstract
Insert-injection moulding enables direct interfacial bonding of hybrid continuous and discontinuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastic products and simultaneously influences dimension stability and mechanical performance. This study investigates the insert-injection moulding of short-glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 6 (SGF-PA6) bonded with 8 wt% unidirectional continuous-glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 6 (CGF-PA6), focusing on the dimensional and mechanical properties of the hybrid CGF-SGF-PA6 products, which are essential for engineering applications. Orthogonal experiments revealed that injection melt temperature and pack pressure significantly impact warping deformation and bending properties. The study found strong correlations between dimensional stability and mechanical strength, with interfacial bonding influencing mechanical strength only. Optimised injection moulding reduced warpage to below 0.1 mm, while increasing bending strength and modulus to 400 MPa and 10 GPa, respectively. Post-thermal treatment further enhanced mechanical properties but led to increased warpage. These findings highlight an integrative control strategy for dimensional and mechanical properties of insert-injection moulded hybrid continuous and discontinuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastic products.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing is a comprehensive journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies, short communications, and letters covering various aspects of composite materials science and technology. This includes fibrous and particulate reinforcements in polymeric, metallic, and ceramic matrices, as well as 'natural' composites like wood and biological materials. The journal addresses topics such as properties, design, and manufacture of reinforcing fibers and particles, novel architectures and concepts, multifunctional composites, advancements in fabrication and processing, manufacturing science, process modeling, experimental mechanics, microstructural characterization, interfaces, prediction and measurement of mechanical, physical, and chemical behavior, and performance in service. Additionally, articles on economic and commercial aspects, design, and case studies are welcomed. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure they contribute significantly and innovatively, maintaining high standards for content and presentation. The editorial team aims to expedite the review process for prompt publication.
