Evaluation Effect of Process Parameter Plastic Waste and Sawdust Composition Material Fatigue Test

Abstract

Plastic waste management systems continue to emerge to reduce the increase in plastic waste from year to year, an alternative material that allows its use since the main material will be obtained from the use of plastic and wood waste, the need is needed of strong and light materials to allow the reprocessing of the plastic that has been used to obtain new material by combining other elements as a mixture, this research develops the principle of combining plastic mixtures of HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), Polypropylene Terephthalate (PET) and Sawdust because all three materials are abundant waste around us, using ASTM standards. D-7031 for the Fatique test found the strongest mixture of samples made at 67.1 N / mm with a composition of 1 gram of sawdust, 6.25 grams of PET, 10.75 grams of HDPE with a maximum temperature of 110 ° C, 3000 grams pressure, while the lowest value obtained by composition is 1 gram of sawdust, 5 grams of PET, 12 grams of HDPE of 31.3 N / mm at a temperature of 110 ° C with 3000 grams of pretreatment, so that from this value is found that the highest and lowest values of the material depend on the composition of the mixture in not giving the pressure or temperature.
