Effect of Al2O3 filler in GFRP/banana fiber composite for CNC vertical milling

Abstract

This study examines the drilling characteristics on GFRP/Banana fiber composite without and with use of Al2O3 filler used in fabrication. of an epoxy-based glass fiber reinforced polymer with and without filler made of banana fiber and aluminum oxide powder. hand layup technique employed in fabricating Three kinds of polymer composites. Pre-test G power for testing was set at 80%, Alpha was set at 0.05%, and CL was set at 95%. This number of samples for each group was then determined. Three groups of nine samples each are used to experiment at CNC and MRR performance evaluated. Controlled variables were feed, drill diameter and spindle speed. The test findings were examined and contrasted using a one-way ANOVA test. The end outcome is MRR. To compare the rates of samples with and without fillers, test data were employed. Software called SPSS V16 was used to determine how significant the results were. A significant level of p0.05 was obtained from the statistical value analysis. The machinability of proposed composite is found good in terms of MRR. That MRR 9.89% fpund excess than machining of plain GFRP. In a similar vein, it was discovered that machining of alkaline-treated glass fiber/banana fibre composite found increase of 14.99% than plain GFRP laminate.
