Resumo(s)

In composite production, during the thermal drying cycle (T<100ºC), size variation of the composite material occurs due to thermal expansion and water elimination. However, when incorporating PLA components, produced by additive manufacturing, into the abrasive composite, the dimensional variation of the set is very large due to the higher polymer thermal expansion. During this stage, this composite, still in the green state, could not have the sufficient mechanical strength to withstand dimensional variations. These can result in crack formation. Therefore, the proper thermal cycle is a critical step. To define the convenient heating rate during the drying of composites with a PLA piece, thermomechanical analyzes were conducted. Three different heating ramps were tested, 0.1, 0.5, and 2.0 ºC/min in the most critical phase of dimensional change (up to 60 ºC), after this temperature the heating continues at 2 ºC/min. The results indicate that the slower the heating rate, the higher the absorption of the polymer's expansion by the composite. In the slower heating rate (0.1 ºC/min) it was possible to minimize the dimensional variation of the samples by more than 94%.
