摘要

Effect of relative humidity in Fused Deposition Modeling specimens on tensile and fatigue mechanical properties is evaluated. Virgin and recycled PLA specimens are generated using a factorial DoE study with three factors: Relative humidity (three levels 18%, 22%, and 26%); number of perimeters (two levels: 3 and 6 contours); and nozzle temperature (two levels: 190 °C and 220 °C). UTS is output factor of ANOVA. Virgin and recycled PLA specimens with the highest UTS values were fatigue tested under cyclic tensile loading, with stress increments from 50 to 90% UTS in 10% increments. The objective is to determine the number of cycles to failure. Results show that virgin PLA achieves higher UTS values than recycled PLA. The combination of recycled PLA with 18%HR, six contours, and a nozzle temperature of 190 °C achieves a UTS of 29 MPa, higher than its own filament of 18 MPa and more than 100 × 103cycles to fatigue.
