Abstract

In this study, a newly developed ultrasonic fatigue test was performed for durability assessment of polyoxymethylene engineering plastic, which has a high crystallization rate and degree of crystallization. Fatigue strength of POM (polyoxymethylene) was performed on a piezoelectric UFT developed by Mbrosia Co., Ltd(1), operating at a high frequency of 20 kHz. The test results showed a fatigue limit of 5.0~6.0 MPa under fatigue testing at R = -1, 20kHz; and, electron microscopy revealed the size effect by risk volume and fractured dimple structure after the coalescence of micro-voids through the crazing effect, which occurs during the failure of a polymer.

엔지니어링 플라스틱(Engineering Plastic ; EP)에 대한 내구성 평가를 위해 현재 새롭게 국내에서 개발한 초음파 피로시험법을 이용하여 EP 중에서도 결정화 속도가 빠르고 결정화도가 높은 범용 POM(Polyoxymethylene) 소재에 대한 초음파 가속피로시험 거동을 평가하고자 하였다. 이에 본 연구에서 사용된 POM 소재의 밀도는 $1.37g/cm^3$, 동탄성계수는 3.49 GPa 로 측정되었으며, 초음파피로시험 20kHz, 응력비 R= -1 의 판상시편 두께 (4t, 7t, 10t)에 따른 피로수명평가 결과 전체 응력진폭 5.0~6.0MPa 부위에서 피로한도를 확인하였다. 피로시험 후 파단 면을 관찰한 결과 7t, 10t 두께 시편의 크랙 시작위치에서 미소 공동들이 서로 연결된 형태의 잔금(crazing) 균열현상으로 파단된 dimple 구조형상을 전자현미경을 통해 확인할 수 있었다.
