Research Concerning the Optimum Extrusion Temperature for Reinforced Polyamide

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polymeric material's extrusion is a very complex manufacturing process opened for new research. In this paper the authors use for extrusion polyamide 6.6 reinforced with 20% glass fibres. This material offers very good mechanical, thermal and frictional proprieties. The improvement of these proprieties can be realized through the optimization of the extrusion process. Temperature is a very important parameter for obtaining good quality products, so to choose the proper values of it, is an interesting challenge. It was proved that the main influence upon the product's quality have the temperatures from the metering zone and from the forming zone so the optimization of these is of maximum importance for the quality of the products. The Response Surface Method (RSM), based on ANOVA - Analysis of Variance model was used for optimization the temperatures from the metering zone and from the forming zone.
