Abstract
Recently, composite materials are used in various automotive applications. The reasons for composite materials are low weight and can withstand high strength. The present work focuses on the preparation and characterization of some advanced Fiber metal laminate (FML) like Al/BF with epoxy, Al/CF with epoxy, Al/GF with epoxy and its automotive application. Fiber metal laminate is the arrangement of metal fiber, resin in required stacking order. The required fiber metal laminate was fabricated using compression moulding process and the samples were subjected to wide range of mechanical and thermo mechanical characterizations such as tensile strength, impact, erosion wear and flammability test respectively. All the tests are done as per ASTM standards. The applicability and replaceability of the material with conventional automotive materials were studied and results were tabulated
