Abstract

Abstract:- The main objective of this paper is to find the best reinforced epoxy composite. The combinations of composites were plain woven basalt epoxy composite, plain woven e-glass epoxy composite, basalt/e-glass hybrid epoxy composite, hybrid epoxy composite with Graphite power variation 3g,6g,9g and all these 6 combinations were fabricated by hand layup method. The mechanical properties of composites were calculated by tensile, flexural, impact tests. The tensile strength of basalt/e-glass reinforced epoxy composite was high around 181.6 N/mm2 when compared to remaining composites. The impact strength of basalt/e-glass reinforced epoxy composite was high around 4.32 J when compared to remaining composites. The flexural strength of basalt/e-glass with 6g of graphite reinforced epoxy composite was high around 440.34 MPa when compared to the remaining composites. Based on results basalt/e- glass hybrid epoxy composite possess a high tensile and impact strength. Basalt/e-glass hybrid epoxy composite was best composite compared to remaining composites
