Abstract
Polymeric tubes, including epoxy and reinforcing fibers, are widely used in the petroleum and aerospace industries due to their high strength and corrosion resistance. In this study, corrosion and creep properties of resin-based tubes reinforced by Glass fibers (GFR), Carbon fibers (CFR), and Kevlar fibers (KFR) were investigated using tubes made by using a 45-degree unilateral winding method. The highest creep strain was obtained for the CFR equal to 0.7445 and the lowest was obtained for KFR with the Kevlar fibers being severely damaged. The lowest corrosion rate per year was for the CFR sample, equal to 113in/year×1000. The corroded samples were subjected to a tensile test and a 2% improvement in ultimate tensile strength was achieved for GFR. To evaluate the results and the quality of adhesions between fibers and resins, SEM images were taken of the samples.
Highlights
There has been significant research concerning polymeric composite materials in which fibers are used to reinforce resins which are thermoset or thermoplastic polymers [1, 2]
The highest creep strain was obtained for the Carbon fibers (CFR) equal to 0.7445 and the lowest was obtained for KFR with the Kevlar fibers being severely damaged
The resins used for manufacturing with Glass fibers (GFR), CFR, and KFR are Swancor-901, Epiran-10, and Epiran-06FL types, respectively, which were achieved by trial-and-error in our previous research [1]
