For this purpose, surface measurements, nanoindentation tests and stress-controlled fatigue tests with a positive load ratio are performed for all six parameter sets. During shear cutting the material gets locally strain-hardened and a deformed surface with micro-notches is created. Compared to a polished reference condition, the fatigue strength of the shear-cut sheets is severely deteriorated. However, the intensity of deterioration varies depending on the shear cutting parameters. For small cutting clearances, the highest fatigue life is observed for a sharp cutting tool. In contrast, for medium and high cutting clearances, samples that are cut with a worn tool achieve higher fatigue lives.

They are replacing conventional plastics due to their capability to solve environmental issues. Despite this shift in material development, the synthesis of biodegradable biocomposites still poses a challenge due to their wide range of properties. This work focuses on developing biofilaments for fused filament fabrication from recycled high-density polyethylene and rice husk waste in varying proportions to study the effect of their different ratios on the biofilaments. High-density polyethylene though very popular, has not been widely explored in fused filament fabrication due to warping challenges and high thermal shrinkage of printed parts upon solidification. The addition of organic fillers has been proposed as a way to reduce these challenges. Rice husk waste has been used as a filler in polyethylene for conventional processes such as extrusion, injection molding, and pressing but not widely in additive manufacturing. In this study, a particle size of less than 75 μm and the use of a compatibilizer improved its miscibility in the polymer's matrix. The highest composition of the biofilament achieved was 35 % rice husks, 35 % recycled high-density polyethylene, and 30 % compatibilizer, an improvement of the rice husk filler from previous studies. Printability was attained up to a biofilament composition of 40 % recycled high-density polyethylene, 30 % rice husks, and 30 % compatibilizer. The maximum tensile strength, tensile modulus, and maximum tensile strain of this biofilament were 8.53 MPa (standard deviation of 1.32 MPa), 6.6 % (standard deviation of 0.03 %), and 128.56 MPa (standard deviation of 13 MPa), respectively. Though the addition of rice husk filler reduced the tensile strength, there was an improvement in the crystallinity of the biofilament which improved the shrinkage and warpage of the printed part. This work thus demonstrated an improvement in the rice husk content as a filler in biofilaments made from recycled high-density polyethylene with enhanced biodegradability.</p>","PeriodicalId":18366,"journal":{"name":"Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik","volume":"56 4","pages":"581-600"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143889134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, laser beam welding in vacuum is introduced as a comparatively new joining technique.

The weld seam has a very fine-grained structure, which presumably has a favourable effect on hot cracking mechanism. The prevention of cracking is likely due to the lower temperature gradient between the capillary wall and the fusion line caused by the low evaporation temperature due to the reduced pressure. The reduced temperature results in lower residual stresses, which presumably has a positive effect on the tendency to hot cracking.
