Effects of glass fiber reinforcement to tensile strength in epoxy matrix granular composite materials

Abstract

Conventional metal materials are in use several areas for industrial applications, necessities of the time require as energy safe, enviromental factors and carbon foot print increases the importance of composite materials in industry today. Aim of this study is development of composite material for machine tools structure in line with these purposes, moulding easily, cost effective moulding materials in comparison with existing moulding systems and need less finishing machining than existing materials. In this study researched effects of glass fibre additives to tensile strength of composite material and reasons of the effects.
