Exploring the mechanical, tribological, and morphological characteristics of areca fiber epoxy composites reinforced with various fillers for multifaceted applications

This investigation is primarily concerned with the effect of fly ash, basalt powder, and tungsten carbide (WC) on mechanical, microstructural, tribological behaviour areca fiber-reinforced composites. The fillers (5–10 wt. %) were included fiber epoxy reinforced In comparison to composites without fillers, inclusion WC increased tensile strength by 33–48.2 MPa. an A2 composite containing (20 %), (70 powder (10 was measured be 48.2 Similarly, filler incorporation enhanced flexural, impact, Shore D hardness properties up 21.25%, 13.18%, 15.66%, respectively. Furthermore, hybridization mechanical abrasion resistance increases load-carrying capability adhesion, as determined SEM. river-like pattern demonstrates that ductile failure dominated in A5 [areca ash (5 %)] A4 has a lower wear than all other hybrid filler-reinforced exhibits result absence detritus textured surfaces.
