Abstract
In the present experimental study the effects of addition of Glass Fibers (GFs) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) particles on the mechanical and machinability behaviors of Areca Fine Fiber (AFF)-reinforced Phenol Formaldehyde (PF) composites were evaluated in three stages. Composites were prepared by hand lay-up technique at room temperature. From the first stage, it is observed that the 20AFF/20GF/PF hybrid composites give better mechanical properties than the other hybrid composites followed by the 10AFF/30GF/PF hybrid composite. The results of second stage revealed that the AFF/GF/SiC/PF hybrid composites exhibited the highest values of mechanical properties after addition of the 6% of SiC particles. From third stage, it is observed that the cutting speed is most significant process parameter during drilling of the 20AFF/20GF/6SiC/PF hybrid composite, followed by feed rate.
