However, milling composite materials present number of problems such as delamination roughness associated with the characteristics of the material and with the used cutting parameters. In order to reduce these problems a study is present with the objective of evaluating the cutting parameters (cutting velocity and feed rate) and the influence of the fibers (hemp, jute, banana, and glass) under delamination factor (fd) and surface roughness(Ra). The approach is based on a combination of Design of Experiment (DoM) techniques and on the analysis of variance (ANOVA). A plan of experiment, based on the techniques of factorial design, was performed milling with cutting parameters in various hand lay-up FRP’s (Hemp Fiber Reinforced Plastics, Jute Fiber Reinforced Plastics,IJERT Banana Fiber Reinforced Plastics and Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics) using cented carbide(K10) end drill. The objective was to establish a correlation between cutting velocity and feed rate with the delamination and roughnees in hemp , jute, banana and glass fiber reinforced laminates. The correlation was obtained by multiple linear regression. Finally, confirmation tests were performed to make a comparison between the results form the mentioned correlation. the surrounding matrix keeps them in the NTRODUCTION desired location and orientation, acts as a The word “composite” means two or load transfer medium between them, and more distinct parts physically bounded protects them from environmental damages together”. Thus, a material having two more due to elevated temperatures and humidity distinct constituent materials or phases may etc. be considered a composite material. Fiber- The properties that can be reinforced composite materials consist of improved by forming a composite material fiber of high strength and modulus embedded include strength, stiffness, corrosion in or bonded to a matrix with distinct resistance, wear resistance, attractiveness, interfaces (boundary) between them. In this weight, fatigue life, temperature-dependent form, both fiber and matrix retain their behavior, thermal insulation, thermal physical and chemical identities, yet they conductivity, acoustical insulation and produce a combination of properties that electrical insulation. Naturally, neither all of cannot be achieved with either of the the properties are improved at the same time constituents acting alone. In general, fiber are nor is there usually any requirement to do so. the principal load-carrying members, while www.ijert.org 1 International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT) ISSN: 2278-0181 Vol. 1 Issue 8, October - 2012 Composite materials have a long is placed along the longitudinal direction of history of usage. Their beginnings are the specimen so that the fibers are oriented unknown, but all recorded history contains 00 900 along the axial direction of the references to some form of composite specimen. Then the rest of the mould is filled material. For example, straw was used by the with the resin making sure that there are no Israelites to strengthen mud bricks. Plywood air gaps in the mould. Then, a thin was used by the ancient Egyptians when they Polyethylene paper of 0.2mm thick is placed realized that wood could be rearranged to on the rubber mould. A flat mild steel plate is achieve superior strength and resistance to placed on the mould and a pressure of thermal expansion as well as to swelling 0.05MN/mˉ² is applied and left for 24 hours to owing to the presence of moisture.. More cure. Later the specimen is removed and filed recently, fiber reinforced resin composites to obtain the final dimensions. The specimen that have high strength-to-weight and is cleaned with NC thinner and wiped off to stiffness-to- weight ratios have become remove dirt particles. important in weight-sensitive applications such as aircraft and space vehicles. INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS: FABRICATION OF COMPOSITE SPECIMEN It is impossible to list all the Composite specimens are prepared using commercial and industrial applications of variour natural fiber (hemp, jute, and banana) fiber-reinforced composites. The major and glass fiber reinforcements. structural application areas are aircraft, space, The mould is prepared on smooth ceramic tile automotive, sporting goods, and marine with rubber shoe sole to the required engineering. The major structural applications dimension. Initially the ceramic tile is cleaned for fiber-reinforced composites are in the field with shellac (NC thinner) a spirituous product of military and commercial aircraft. Ever since to ensure clean surface on the tile. Then the production application of boron fiber- mould is prepared keeping the rubber sole on reinforced epoxy skins for F-14 horizontal the tile. The gap between the rubber and the stabilizers in 1969, the use of fiber-reinforced tile is filled with mansion hygienic wax.

The resulting mould is cured for 24 composites in the automotive industry can be hours. classified into three groups: body Hand lay up method is adopted to fill the components, chassis components, and engine prepared mould with general-purpose components. The hood, door panels etc. are polyester resin. ECMALON 4411 is an some of the exterior body components, which unsaturated polyester resin of ortho-phthalic are made up of composite materials.
