Investigation on Mechanical and Physical Properties of Fly Ash Reinforced Epoxy Resin Composite
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
Fly ash is an inorganic alumino silicate, a by product of thermal power plant, responsible for air pollution. If we use it as second phase or reinforcement material in composite it will produce a suitable composite material as well as the pollution will be reduced. In this experiment for obtaining composite we have mixed the fly ash with epoxy resin, a matrix material in different ratio such as 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%. Different mechanical testing such as tensile test, hardness test and impact test are conducted to get the mechanical properties of composite. Roughness (Ra and Rz) test is done to check the smoothness. TGA and DSC analysis of 40% fly ash epoxy composite is carried out to find the thermal stability of composite.
