| Summary: | The current technology developments growing rapidly, one of them is the technology
of materials. Nowadays, the material that widely used is metal. Knowledge about metal
today can be said to have been very advance and mature. Therefore, current researches are
done on many types of composite materials. Composite is defined as a merger of two or more
types of materials in macroscopic. The purpose of this method is to get the advantage from
each of those materials.
One of the revival is the use of natural fibers as constituents of composite material
related to green and sustainable program material. In this study we use hemp fiber because it
has abundant potential in Indonesia and its utilization is still minimal.
This research aims to obtain mechanical characteristics of hemp fibres with a matrix of
HDPE (High Density Polyethylene). The focus of this research is testing the tensile strength
of the flax-fiber composite lamina HDPE refers to the standard of the American Society for
Testing materials (ASTM) D3039/D 3039M. Flax fibers that used are continuous fibers of the
order 0°, 0°/90°, and discontinuous fiber with random order. The manufacturing method that
used ishot compression molding at ± 150° celcius.
The results of the test were analyzed using statistical approaches by Weibull
Distribution. This is necessary because the manufacturing process and mechanical properties
of natural fibers will vary resulting tensile strength that varies as well. Analysis equipped
with optical microscope test with magnification up to 1000 to see the internal structure of a
composite lamina.
The conclusion of this research is the flax fibers can potentially be developed further.
The value of the tensile strength obtained is 82 MPa for reliability of 0.9 and 112 Mpa for
reliability 0.5 in continuous fiber composite with longitudinal order . For continuous fiber
composite with order 0°/90° value derived is 21 MPa for reliability of 0.9 and 40.1 Mpa for
reliability of 0.5. For discontinuous fiber composite the tensile strength obtained was 17.3
MPa for reliability of 0.9 and 24.8 Mpa for reliability of 0.5. |
