Micromechanical Properties of Surface Layer of Electron Beam Irradiated of Glass-Filled PA6

Abstract:

Micromechanical changes in the surface layer of glass-filled PA-6 modified by beta radiation were measured by instrumented test of microhardness. The specimens were prepared by injection technology and subjected to radiation doses of 0, 66, 99, 132 kGy. Measurements of microhardness showed considerable changes of behavior of surface layer in middle as well as high radiation doses with higher values of indentation hardness and stiffness.
