Abstract
The current work focuses on a hand layup approach for the manufacture and characterization of AL2O3-fiber-reinforced polymer composites. to understand the mechanical characteristics of an epoxy- and hardener-based E-glass (610-GSM) fiber-reinforced polymer composite. In order to create AL2O3 powder, high-energy ball milling is used. The testing samples are made in accordance with ASTM-D-638, ASTM-D-790, and ASTM-D-785 standards, utilising five layers of E-glass fibre for each laminate and varying volume percentages (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5%). These samples go through tensile, flexural (three-point bend), and hardness testing. For all the laminates, the findings are contrasted within the volume percentage range (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5%). The many benefits of E-glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites, including their great wear resistance and high strength-to-weight ratio, have led to a wide range of applications. Results of the composite's tensile strength, flexural strength, and hardness were compared.Keywords: ultimate tensile strength, impact strength, hardness, DSC, DTA, TGA.
