In this paper an experimental investigation of mechanical behavior of a thermoplastic polymer (polyamide PA 66) processed by constrained groove pressing (CGP) using several passes is presented. To this end, corrugating and straightening tools are designed and manufactured. The effects of the number of passes and the hold time on the mechanical behavior of the polyamide have been highlighted. The obtained results show that the material properties and the microstructure are significantly altered under CGP process. It has been found that the microhardness and the tensile properties have been progressed accordingly to the number of cycles, especially when the samples are processed using a hold time of five minutes. Hence, it can be concluded that this latter plays a very important role on the reorientation and stabilization of the microstructure when the processed material is a polymer.
