Effect of Fiber Stacking Sequence on Mechanical Property of Polymeric Composite through VARTIM Method and Metallographic Examination
Abstract
Because of higher specific modulus/strength, lower weight, good corrosion resistance with design flexibility and easy production, carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites are widely used for many structural applications. Glass woven (plain) and carbon fabric (plain) were studied. Thus, glass fabric-reinforced epoxy composites (GFRCs) and carbon fabric-reinforced composites (CFRCs) were fabricated throughVacuum Assisted Resin Transfer moulding (VARTM) methodology. Firstly, manufacturing unit/control system, preparation stages and some elements used in manufacturing the epoxy based composites are reviewed. Then, effects of stacking sequence of fibers on mechanical properties were investigated and a comparison was made on two types of fabrics on hardness/deformation depth through Stereo Microscope (SM). The experimental results exhibited that the hardnesses measured were around 40.6 HB and 52.4 HRB for GFRP and CFRP, respectively. Improvements in carbon fiber were about 29% in comparison to glass fiber. Further, both hybrid composites made from glass and carbon fiber, the hardnesses values were reduced. In case of C2/G2/C2 hybrid composites, reduction rate was about 9.3% in comparison to C6 fiber reinforced laminate composite. Moreover, it is clearly revealed that there were extensive deformation regions reflecting the white areas because top layer was in G2/C2/G2 samples, but there was no such a white area in C2/G2/C2 composite.
