Abstract
Sudden changes in working temperature or thermal shock, such as quenching treatment, are very likely to be experienced by thermosetting epoxy resins when applied during their service life, which can degrade their performance. This article reports the change in tensile strength of thermoset epoxies subjected to quenching treatment. The material used is DGEBA resin which is cured with cycloaliphatic hardener with a ratio of resin and hardener of 2:1. The quenching treatment was carried out at the target temperature of 75 ℃, 100 ℃, 125 ℃, and 150 ℃ and the cooling medium of pure water at ambient temperature. The tensile test was performed on the specimens referring to the ASTM D638-14 standard. The result reveals that the tensile strength of epoxy resin has decreased significantly at the quenching temperature of 75 ℃, 100 ℃, and 125 ℃. The quenching target temperature of 150 ℃ produces tensile and elongation strengths commensurate with the properties of epoxy resins without quenching.
