Özet
Chemical transmission lines, petroleum and natural gas lines, pressure vessels, and pipes used in thermal facilities are expected to maintain their mechanical properties for many years without being damaged and not to be corroded in working conditions. The composite materials are the right candidate for these harsh conditions due to their superior properties. Reinforcement of nanoadditives to composite materials improves both the mechanical properties and the resistance to environmental conditions, thereby increasing the lifetime. In this study, multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) reinforced [+/- 55 degrees] carbon fiber/epoxy composite pipes produced with filament wound method were used. It was hydrothermally aged in 80 degrees C distilled water for 1, 2, 3 weeks in order to examine the effect of environmental conditions. In order to investigate its resistance against loads that may occur in working conditions, ring tensile tests (ASTM D 2290-16 procedure A), and low-velocity impact tests at 5, 10, 15 J, energy levels were carried out. The effect of hydrothermal aging on neat and MWCNT added epoxy composite had been examined by considering the aging period. Consequently, the impact resistance of neat and MWCNT added samples decreased with the aging process. Besides, tangential tensile strength loss was 17% in MWCNT reinforced sample and 13% in the neat sample.
