Investigation on mechanical properties and wear performance of Nylon-6/Boron Nitride polymer composites by using Taguchi Technique

Abstract

We study a tensile property test was conducted to investigate the mechanical behavior of nylon-6 and its composites. The wear conduct of Nylon-6 loaded up with nanometer measured boron nitride (BN) composites has been explored for changing filler content, normal load, sliding distance and speed with three levels of every parameter according to Taguchi’s design of experiment. A pin-on-disk compose erosion and wear test (ASTM G99) was utilized to assess wear conduct of Nylon-6/BN polymer composites. The significant commitments of this work are the decline of extreme quality with expanding substance of boron nitride in the composites and the normal load converted to 71.54% of variety in the wear rate. To improve the mechanical properties of Nylon-6/BN composites will enhance the application of pure comparative the pure Nylon-6.
