Mechanical Characterization of Composite Materials with Polymeric Matrix

Polymer matrix composites are used in a large number of solicitations (eg airplanes, automobiles, cars) due to their superior mechanical properties, such as: strength, high precise toughness, wear resistance, stability and low weight. Polyamide PA 66 and polyamide PA 66 - GF 30 are thermoplastic technical materials in which we find both mechanical properties and excellent physical properties. These properties are being used in the automotive engineering industry more and more often. The article present an experimental work on mechanical characterization of PA 66-GF 30: tensile strength and hardness.
