Abstract
In this research work an effort has been made to study the tensile behavior of boron carbide and copper coated short basalt fiber reinforced with Al2014 based hybrid composites are prepared by stir casting technique. To avoid the interfacial reactions between basalt fiber and matrix Al2014 alloy the fibers are coated with copper using copper sulphate solution by electroless deposition method.The coated fiber was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It has been clearly revealed the uniform deposition of copper on the surface of fiber and tensile behavior of Hybrid composites was increased with increase in the wt% of reinforcements. At 6% boron carbide and 8% copper coated basalt fiber shows maximum tensile property.
