Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Reinforced with different percentage of ceramic particle weights

Abstract

In this research work, mechanical behavior of reinforced epoxy (quick mast
105) composites filled with varying concentration of aluminum oxide Al2O3
and Silicon carbide SiC has been investigated. Composites were prepared by
standard method. The objective of this work was to study the mechanical
properties such as impact strength, hardness and flexural strength of the
prepared composite. the results shows that the composites with 40% of SiC
and Al2O3 concentration exhibit maximum hardness strength , the impact
strength of SiC filled composite increases with increasing concentration, while
Al2O3 filled composite impact strength decreases with increasing
concentration . Modulus of elasticity of SiC filled composite decreases with
increasing concentrated while Al2O3 filled composite elasticity increases.
