The effects of sea water and concentrated salt solutions on the fatigue of nylon 6,6 fibres
Cyclic fatigue and creep rupture tests have been run on high-tenacity nylon 6,6 single fibres, yarns and small ropes in air and sea water environments. Fatigue failure in each case is by a creep rupture mechanism; yarns and small ropes show the same fatigue sensitivity as do single fibres. Sea water...

Summary: | Cyclic fatigue and creep rupture tests have been run on high-tenacity nylon 6,6 single fibres, yarns and small ropes in air and sea water environments. Fatigue failure in each case is by a creep rupture mechanism; yarns and small ropes show the same fatigue sensitivity as do single fibres. Sea water reduces the strength by approximately 10% under most conditions. Concentrated matallic salt solutions which cause environmental stress cracking in bulk nylon do not degrade the fibres beyond the effect of plain water. Tests on oriented nylon specimens show the environmental stress crack sensitivity is greatly reduced by orientation. |
