Abstract

The glass fibre reinforce polymer composites are fabricated using compression molding technique. The epoxy resin is used as the matrix material and the glass fibres are used as the reinforcing element. The glass fibre with 30 percentage in weight proportion are used as the reinforcing element and the remaining is the epoxy based matrix material. The composite laminates are tested for its machining characteristics in CNC milling machine using solid carbide end mills. The cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut are used as the milling process parameters and the responses are delamination factor and surface roughness. Optimal machining parameters are determined by the grey relational analysis (GRA) and discussed


Keywords: Glass fibre reinforced composite (GFRP), Grey relational grade (GRG), ANOVA, Delamination factor, Surface roughness
