Mechanical Properties and Fracture Characterization of Additive Manufacturing Polyamide 12 After Accelerated Weathering

<p>A dataset for the publication:&nbsp;T. Puttonen, M. Salmi, J. Partanen, Mechanical Properties and Fracture Characterization of Additive Manufacturing Polyamide 12 After Accelerated Weathering, 2021.</p> <p>The paper studies the mechanical properties and fracture mechanics of Additive Manufacturing (AM) polyamide 12 (PA12) in two build orientations exposed to a 1500-hour accelerated weathering cycle (ISO-4982-3) followed by tensile testing (ISO-527). Fracture surfaces of X and Z build orientation AM PA12 and X build orientation AM glass-filled PA12 were studied with scanning electron microscopy. The tested AM materials were PA12, glass-filled PA12, and carbon-reinforced PA12. The reference materials cut from sheet included glass-filled and molybdenum disulfide-filled PA66, PMMA, ABS, PC, and cast PA12.</p> <p>The dataset contains:</p> <p>- Full tensile test results in PDF format, and individual CSV files</p> <p>- A python script for tensile CSV data plotting</p> <p>- Overall pictures of all samples after tensile tests</p> <p>- 3D models and drawings for tensile samples, manufacturing files for a&nbsp;custom&nbsp;QUV holder assembly</p> <p>- SEM images of fracture surfaces for AM polyamide 12 (SLS), X and Z build orientation, and glass-filled polyamide 12 (SLS) in the X build orientation</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Version history:</p> <p>1.0.1: A partially corrupted version of the tensile test results PDF file replaced&nbsp;(Tensile_test_results.pdf)</p>
