The concept of form stability is considered. A semifinished product in the form of a ring from a thermoplastic mass based on SiC powder has been made on the installation for injection molding developed at the Bakul Institute for Superhard Materials of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in accordance with the established technological parameters optimized by the results of computer modeling. Schemes of loading and dividing the ring into samples in the form of prismatic segments are presented. A technique for the preparation of experimental samples is proposed. The study of the compressive strength of the samples from the injected semi-finished product has been carried out on the FP-5 mechanical test machine and a corresponding здще of its change has been constructed. The formation of a barrel shape during compression tests of samples, both along the radial and tangential directions, has been established. The values of the minimum and maximum loads at which the samples are destroyed have been determined. An increase in the compaction of the thermoplastic mass around the injection point has been experimentally proved. The scheme and the actual image of crack distribution as a result of destruction of samples have been presented. It is shown that the failure occurs in the area of the presence of the calculated parting lines, which have become stress concentrators.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
