STUDY OF EPOXY BASED HYBRID COMPOSITE LEAF SPRING WITH ALUMINIUM POWDER AND E–GLASS FIBRES

Drp. Prabhakara Rao

Abstract :

 Reducing weight while increasing or maintaining strength of products is getting to be highly important research issue in this modern world. Composite materials are one of the material families which are attracting researchers and being solutions of such issue. Automobile industry has great interest for replacement of steel leaf spring with that of composite leaf spring. Composite materials have high strength to weight ratio, good corrosion resistance. Epoxy based composites moulds are frequently used for wax and polymer materials injection. In the present paper, Tri Phase materials compose by an Epoxy resin, Aluminium powder and E–glass fie, were faicated with standard dimensions and various Mechanical tests are to be conducted as per ASTM. In this paper composite leaf spring is faicated using hand lay–up technique and to replace metallic leaf spring of light passenger vehicle. Different tests were performed to compared the load carrying capacity and stiffness of E–Glass/Epoxy composite.
