Effects of aluminum and silicon carbide on morphological and mechanical properties of epoxy hybrid composites

The present research focuses on the effects of aluminum (Al) and silicon carbide (SiC) hybridization mechanical morphological properties Al SiC particles reinforced hybrid epoxy composites. Composites were prepared by hand lay-up technique at five levels reinforcement loading (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 wt%). Aluminum powder utilized as a ratio (1:1) during composite preparation. Microstructural analysis using scanning electronic microscope optical was performed to observe adhesiveness between matrix reinforcement. For characterization, tensile, flexural, impact, hardness tests performed. Tensile flexural strength decreased, while Young’s modulus, impact strength, increased with increase in particle loading. Based loading, wt% particle-reinforced had best set among all
