Influence of Ceramic Particles Additives on the Mechanical Properties and Machinability of Carbon Fiber/Polymer Composites

Hybrid polymer composites have become the interest of world, especially in mechanical and electronic applications. Recently, advanced machining techniques such as abrasive water jet hybrid been used to solve many problems including ability form complex shapes, high performance, better surface features, levels accuracy. In this study, effect ceramic particle (SiC Al2O3) constituents on properties machinability was investigated. The results tests showed that an improvement tensile flexural appeared using a constituent (70 wt% Epoxy + 15 CF 10 Sic 5 Al2O3). However, includes lowest value impact strength. Also, morphological analysis indicated uniform distribution particles, best defect-free surface, bonding strength between reinforcement epoxy matrix can be obtained which has contributed properties. automation process also performed based design experiment (Taguchi L18 design) study terms roughness, hardness, kerf width. variance concluded most influential factor composite followed by traverse velocity, then stand distance during machining. Moreover, grey relational beneficially determine multi-optimization parameters.
