Abstract
Reinforcements in polymers provide the modification over mechanical properties. In this study, aluminium (Al) is reinforced with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) using spraying technique and hybrid composite samples were prepared. Input parameters used in study are infill density (60%, 80%, 100%), infill pattern (linear, triangular, cubic) and number of Al layers (2, 3, 4). Samples were prepared according to ASTM D638 type IV standards and subjected to tensile testing. Considering 4 aluminium sprayed layers, 100% infill density and linear infill pattern, it has been resulted into maximum modulus of elasticity of prepared specimen. It has been observed that number of aluminium layers sprayed is the most influencing factor for modulus of elasticity. Optimized printing parameters were established at 3 no. of aluminium layers, 100% infill density with linear pattern.
