Abstract

The change in the microhardness over the thickness of samples made of EDT-69N binder cured in vacuum and at atmospheric pressure at temperatures from 130 to 170°C was investigated. It was found that the change in microhardness along the thickness of the samples occurs according to a parabolic law, with the maximum values being achieved in the middle of the sample cross section along the thickness. With an increase in the molding temperature, the microhardness in the middle section of the sample increases from 222 MPa at a molding temperature of 130°C to 410 MPa during molding at 170°C. At the critical molding temperature (170°C), the microhardness in all zones of the specimen cross section (subsurface, semi-average, and core) levels off, while the parabolic dependence degenerates into a straight line. It is shown that the method of scratching (sclerometry) demonstrated a fairly high sensitivity to the state of samples cured at different temperatures. With an increase in the molding temperature, the width of the sclerometric grooves decreases. At the critical molding temperature of 170°C, the groove width is stabilized and becomes constant throughout the sample thickness. To characterize the difference in the values of the microhardness of the cured binder in the sample volume, it is proposed to use a dimensionless “coefficient of volume anisotropy,” which can take a positive, negative, or zero value. With an increase in the curing temperature of the binder and, accordingly, with an increase in the microhardness of the sample, the coefficient of volume anisotropy decreases, and when the samples are molded at the critical temperature, it goes to zero, which indicates the absence of anisotropy.
