Abstract
In the various application of cables and lashings, synthetic materials are increasingly being used to replace steel. From platform anchors and floating turbines on offshore environment to the onshore use of cables, polyamide stands out as a synthetic fiber capable of supply the proposed requirements and serve as a cheaper alternative to steel. Seeing the polyamides importance on various applications, the present work has as main objective compare the characteristics of virgin Polyamide 6 abrasive resistance in dry environment and submerged in water. Therefore, the supported number of cycles by the material is sought when requested by different previously established loads. In both types of test, dry and wet, the equipment follows the specifications of the CI - Cordage Institute and ASTM Standards. The YoY (Yarn-on-Yarn) abrasion test is used to obtain the qualitative values of the abrasion resistance. At the end of this work, the characteristic abrasion resistance curves of Polyamide 6 were obtained.
