Dataset on tribological, characterization and thermal properties of Silicon carbide reinforced polyamide composites for industrial applications

This dataset comprises the characterizations, tribological and thermal properties of Silicon carbide (SiC) reinforced Nylon 6 (N6) or Polyamide 6 composites. The dataset illustrates the tribological properties such as coefficient of friction, wear and it also describes the characterizations and thermal stability of polyamide composites by varying the weight percentages from 5 - 30wt.% The composites samples were fabricated by injection moulding method. The tribological, characterization and thermal behaviors were determined by wear test, characterizations were carried out by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Thermal stability, degradation performed by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Derivative Thermogravimetry (DTG) of the polyamide composites. The dataset helps the readers to understand the significant characteristics of the SiC reinforced N6 composites. However, it is revealed that the addition of SIC can enhance the N6 properties. The preparation of N6 polymer composites findings were useful with good tribological (highly wear resistive) and thermal stability characteristics. This composite can be used for high impact stress parts of gears application.
