21、raphite Fiber3. Terminology3.1 The terminology used in this classification system is inaccordance with Terminology D883 and D1600.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 polyamide-imide (PAI), na polymer that is com-posed of linkages of all random, or all block, or all alternating,o

22、r any combination thereof, amide and imide units in thestructural backbone.4. Classification4.1 The polyamide-imide materials are designated PAI, asspecified in Terminology D1600.4.2 Polyamide-imide materials are classified into groupsthat are subdivided into classes and grades as shown in TablePAI.

23、4.2.1 An example of this classification system is as follows:The designation PAI012L23 would indicate from Table PAI:PAI = Polyamide-imide as found in Terminology D1600,01 (Group) = Injection molding material,2 (Class) = Wear resistance PAI, andL23 (Grade) = Nominal 20 % graphite and 3 % PTFE with t

24、he require-ments given in Table PAI.4.2.2 To facilitate the incorporation of special materials notcovered in Table PAI, the “other” category (0) for group, class,and grade is shown on the table with the basic properties to beobtained from Table A.4.3 Use Table A to specify physical property requirem

25、entsfor other PAI materials. These properties are shown by asix-character designation. The designation consists of the letterA and the five digits comprising the cell numbers for theproperty requirements in the order as they appear in Table A.4.3.1 Although the values listed are necessary to include

26、 therange of properties available in existing materials, not everypossible combination of the properties exists or can be ob-tained.4.3.2 Asingle letter is used to identify the grade and indicatethe major reinforcement or combinations, or both, along withtwo digits that indicate the percentage of ad

27、ditive(s) by totalmass. The reinforcement and additive letter designations andassociated tolerance levels are shown in Table 1.TABLE 1 Reinforcement-Filler Symbols and TolerancesCategory Material ToleranceC Carbon or graphite fiber reinforced 3 percentage pointsG Glass fiber reinforced 3 percentage

28、pointsL Lubricants 3 percentage pointsM Minerals 3 percentage pointsR Combinations of reinforcements orfillers, or both5 percentage points4.3.3 This part of the classification system uses the type andpercentage of additive to designate the modification of thebasic material. To facilitate this design

29、ation, the type andpercentage of additive is frequently shown on the supplierstechnical data sheet. If necessary, additional requirements areindicated by use of the suffix part of the system, as given inSection 5.4.3.4 Reinforced, filled, and lubricated versions of PAImaterials that are not in Table

30、 PAI are classified in accordancewith Tables PAI and A. Table PAI is used to specify the Groupor group and class of PAI and Table A is used to specify theproperty requirements. An example of this classification sys-tem for a polyamide-imide material containing 40 % glass is asfollows:The designation

31、 PAI0130G40A61550PAI0130 = polyamide-imide from Table PAI,G40 = glass reinforced at 40 % nominal level,A = Table A physical-property requirements,6 = tensile strength, 172 MPa, min,1 = elongation, 4 %, min,5 = flexural strength, 269 MPa, min,5 = flexural modulus, 11700 MPa, min, and0 = unspecified p

32、roperty.If no properties are specified, the designation would be PAI0130G40A00000.5. Suffixes5.1 When additional requirements are needed, based onapplication, that are not covered by the basic requirements(Table PAI) or cell-table requirements (Table A), they areindicated through the use of suffixes

33、.5.2 Use the suffixes found in Classification System D4000(Table 3) for additional requirements as appropriate.Additionalsuffixes will be added to Classification System D4000 as testmethods and requirements are developed and requested.5.2.1 An example of this classification system using a suffixis a
