Mechanical Characterization of High-Temperature Carbon Fiber-Polyphenylene Sulfide Composites for Large Area Extrusion Deposition Additive Manufacturing
Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) is evolving from rapid prototyping to production of structural components. The widespread application of AM demands a high level of mechanical performance from these components, and it is therefore essential to improve feedstock material in order to meet these mechanical expectations. However, compared to traditional manufacturing techniques, the mechanical properties of AM materials and their resulting components are not well understood. In this study, we investigated the processability, microstructure, and mechanical performance of twin-screw compounded short carbon fiber reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) pellets as a feedstock material for big area AM (BAAM). The performance of the AM components was compared to that of traditional processing methods, namely injection molding (IM) and extrusion-compression molding (ECM). It was found that the AM composites exhibited 118% lower tensile strength and 55% lower tensile modulus when compared to traditional injection molding composite specimens; however, AM composites exhibited comparable properties to ECM composites. This response was attributed to highly aligned fibers in IM and AM samples. However, the AM composites contained porosity (15.5% volume), which reduced their mechanical properties in comparison to ECM composites. Finally, the IM process showed the maximum amount of fiber attrition with minimum porosity (0.007% volume), while themore »
