 AREA OF INTEREST

• Nowadays , composite materials are found to be used in

various fields like automobile and space industries etc., due it’s
light weight and high strength characteristics.

• Also nano particles are used as a reinforcement material as it

adds more stiffness and acts as an reinforcement agent.

• Due to varies properties possessed by various materials we

would like to investigate on composite materials on their
mechanical and wear properties.
 INTRODUCTION

• Composite materials is a material made up of two or more

macro constituents that differ in shape and chemical
composition, which are insoluble in each other.

• Significantly the different physical and chemical

properties when combined produce a new composite with
characteristics different from the individual components.

• There are two main categories of constituent materials :

matrix and reinforcement.
• The matrix material surrounds and supports the reinforcement
materials by maintaining their relative positions and act as a
binder.

• The reinforcements impart their special mechanical and

physical properties to enhance the matrix properties.
 CLASSIFICATION OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL

• Based on the type of Matrix Material

• Based on the Geometry of Reinforcement
Types of matrix material :

• Polymer Matrix Composites (PMC’s)

• Metal Matrix Composites (MMC’s)
• Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC’s)
• Carbon /Carbon Composites (C/C’s)
Types of reinforcement material :

• Particulate Reinforced Composites

• Whisker /Flakes Reinforced Composites
• Fiber Reinforced Composites
ADVANTAGES :

• High tensile strength

• High toughness
• Corrosive resistance
• Low density
SCOPE :

• Automobile industries
• Aeronautical industries
• Marine industries
• Aeronautical industries
APPLICATIONS

• Helicopter rotar blades

• Engine fan blades
• Fuel tanks
• Propeller blades
• Automobile engine parts
