A review on bonding of Polyamide reinforced carbon fibre via additive manufacturing

Abstract

Continuous carbon fibre offers a huge potential which is a lightweight, high strength, low density, a low coefficient of thermal expansion, and high thermal conductivity and stiffness. In addition, polyamide-6 (PA6) has good mechanical and physical properties thus, it makes PA6 as effectiveness between matrix and reinforcement of continuous carbon fibre. 3D printing as a cost effective in additive manufacturing was covered in a complex part building using CAD software based on CAD model makes fisible finish the elements. The main objectives of this paper are to review on interlayer bonding of polyamide reinforced carbon fibre by using 3D printing method on their mechanical properties. This paper scope was a review on the bonding of polymeric composites which is polyamide reinforced carbon fibre as the material used and their printing parameter which is important for their orientation during printing. The printing parameter in 3D printing was set to vary the quality and mechanical behavior of the sample. The sample was reviewed on their bead orientation consist of 0°, 45°, and 90° directional angle of the sample in form of their bonding. Mechanical properties of the samples were tests using tensile test and resulted at 0° it achieves higher tensile strength and modulus when tensile loading direction is parallel to deposition direction. At 90° direction, the fibre was perpendicular with the tensile loading direction and resulted in a decreased tensile property.
