What is ISO 13586?

ISO 13586 is an international standard that provides guidelines for testing the interlaminar fracture toughness of composites. This standard is critical for evaluating the performance and durability of laminated materials, which are commonly used in demanding applications such as aviation, automotive, and construction. By measuring interlaminar fracture toughness, manufacturers can ensure the structural integrity and reliability of their products.

Why is ISO 13586 important?

The application of ISO 13586 offers several advantages:

  1. Safety criteria: It helps manufacturers assess the resistance of their products to delamination and cracking, which is essential for the safety of end users.
  2. Control of material properties: This standard makes it possible to evaluate the adhesion between layers in composites, which helps to optimize material properties.
  3. Consistency and reliability: ISO 13586 provides standardized testing methods, leading to reliable and repeatable results across production batches.

How does ISO 13586 work?

The test method includes the following process:

  • Sample preparation: composite samples are carefully prepared and must meet specific properties according to standards.
  • Test procedure: During the test, a controlled load is applied to the sample to measure interlaminar fracture toughness.

Relationship with ASTM D1984

ASTM D1984 is another important standard that focuses on measuring the peel strength of laminated materials. While ISO 13586 focuses on interlaminar fracture toughness, ASTM D1984 provides guidelines for evaluating interlayer adhesion. Combining these standards enables manufacturers to get a complete picture of the performance of their composites and to ensure robust quality control.
